La Dolce Vita Gelato & Pastry

The Gelato and pastries here are so delicious. We came in and the owner was actually making the Gelato. These sweet treats are made on site with love! Stop in and try it keep our small businesses in Ocala in business <3

This family owned bakery offers their own delicious homemade Italian pasties and smooth decadent gelato!
I hear their bagels are flown in from NYC daily, they were sold out by the time I arrived.
I’ll be visiting again💕

My brother took me to eat Gelato. Mind you my brother hated Gelato but this place is so amazing that my brother is now a gelato eater.The people in there were so great that it gave you a family feeling. If you haven’t gone in I totally recommend you to do so.

Stopped in tonight for dessert the best pastry since we’ve moved from NY. Adorable clean shop and friendly and helpful owners. Fresh bagels from NY too. What a great find. Can’t wait to go back!!

Yes yes YES! This place is AMAZING! We got almost everything on the menu. We tried Gelato, then Cheesecake, and it just kept coming. It was that good... Cafe Dolce is the bees knees! It's all authentic and DELISH. Do yourself a favor and go!!!

This place is a true hidden gem. Gelato is amazing. I regret that it took me so long to get there and try it. I can't wait to go back. I'm telling everyone about this place. So good.

A wonderful, quaint, authentic Italian dessert shop. The family was absolutely charming with the warmest customer service. Besides all of the genuine hospitality … the gelato and desserts are delizioso!
Highly, highly recommended!

I lived in Europe for 8 years, and I've had gelato in dozens of places. This was the best I've had, with no exaggeration. I was floored by the aroma, texture, and savory flavors of the gelato. It turns out that the owner studied in Europe with an Italian gelato master and it is very clear. The Cocoa was very rich and nuanced, the fig strips in the fig were a delight. The pistachio had many nuances to it, with different layers of flavor and a wonderful finish. It was kind of like wine, because it had a first taste, and intermediate taste, and a finish. I also got a slice of the tiramisu and it was very authentic and super tasty.

Such a cute place! Everyone was very welcoming and nice. So many options for cheesecake and it was amazing :) highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious!! I’ve tried the bagels, the rainbow cookies & the Tiramisu gelato! It was out of this world good! You must make a stop to this little gem of a shop, great service, friendly owners, very clean. Highly recommend this place for your next sweet tooth fix!
