Dolcevita Gelato US Review

Best gelato in the whole valley. The owner is Italian and the gelato is authentic. Very delicious and fun flavors.

It was delightful, great service, delicious food an deserts. Great atmosphere.

Best Gelato ever. I have lots of food sensitivities and allergies. I can actually eat gelato again!

We love the place. Ice creams are super divine, authentic Italians. They have a Deli area, the sandwiches are super rich. I recommend the serrano ham.

Best Gelato in town. Best little Italian place round too. Owners and staff are awesome.if you like ice cream you'll love Gelato, especially if it's from Dolce Vita.

Super delicious! Everything about this place is good!

Some of the best Gelato you'll ever have. Many of the flavors are seasonal or at the whim of the owner so there's a different variety almost every time you visit.

Delicious ice cream! Kinder good, mascarpone, banana and dolce de leite, cheesecake, ..... soo tasty!
Delicious ice creams! Any flavor is delicious!

Wonderful food at the deli. If you like the brisk pace and tone of a New York deli, you'll love this place. Authentic Italian food and loads of people speaking in Italian.

Very good Italian restaurant and mini-grocery and authentic gelato

This place is just fantastic. The owners take their business very seriously, and run it with a great deal of love.

The most wonderful gelato you will ever eat and had a great prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella, and tomato panino, this afternoon.

Great service and great food never knew this place was here til a friend told us about . We're glad they did can't wait to get back

Awesome gelato, tons of flavors to choose from. Very authentic

Incredible, outstanding, delicious, friendly, phenomenal, and tasty are just a few words that don't even begin to do this gelato shop justice. Just make sure and order large + take out.

Delicious gelato, an excellent selection of salumi and cheeses and a friendly staff. First time there for us snowbirds, but it will become a regular stop.

Finally got to taste a little bit of heaven. The best gelato! The service was great and the best Cappuccino! Worth the 15 miles I drove to try it out...Bravo!

Terrific gelato flavors and reasonable prices - definitely have cravings for more... great!

A little gem in east Mesa! The restaurant is owned by the same people that own the attached gelato shop and the food is just as good as the gelato! Sandwiches, salads and every night a few pastas to choose from. The food is wonderful!!

Love that place very good gelato go there one a week.

Great gelato, and good service. The place is really small so there's limited seating and their flavors of gelato vary from day to day so you're not sure what they have. You can always probably find something that you really like, but if you're looking for something specific you might want to call beforehand to see if they made any that day.

I ve had gelato in big cities throughout the USA and even in Italy. They can t touch Dolce Vita and Walt s expertise. We bring all of our out of town guests to Dolce Vita and it s another fond memory of their visit to Mesa.

By far the best gelato in the valley! You have come try it, it's worth the trip!

I don t think it can get any better than this place, fantastic gelato!! So yummy every time!!

This is a hidden gem! I can't believe such awesome gelato was in this little strip mall.

Amazing gelato!! Better than what I had in Italy! What's not to say about Dolce Vita - great food, fantastic gelato - Marta, Walter and the staff make you feel welcome and give advice on the various meets and cheeses.

One of the best places magnificent and rich flavors of snow Italian Type

Yummy! Got one scoop in a bowl and it was so generous I couldn't finish it.

I have been going here when they only had gelato and loved it right away. Everything is authentic and quality food. The gelato is super good. The deli has great sandwiches and pastas.

I have a friend that is gluten free and can eat any of the breads and pastas with no reactions. All of the flour used is imported and not processed in the US.

This is a small family owned business from an Italian family who takes pride in what they do. Unique and quality food that is hard to find in Mesa.

The Gelato and food is amazing!!! You get the same taste and quality as if you were in Italy! It's like going to Italy but without the huge expense!! I love the owners they are so friendly as well as the workers!

Delicious and quaint spot with a store and outdoor seating. Great service!

As Italian as it gets! Walter has the best gelato in the whole US!
Beware, don't go looking for some unflavored and unnatural fake ice cream, this is the real deal when it comes to the best Italian Gelato!

Love their tasty treats, especially after a great Italian meal from next door.

Really wonderful place for dinner or after dinner gelato treat!!

There is a reason this place is #1 in the state for gelato... And in top 3 in the US for gelato... Tonight we ate in the grocer side of the shop... Mind blown... Simple.. Beautiful flavor... Simply amazing...

Tuna salad, sandwich fisherman, and a large container of ice cream to go!

Great service, awesome flavors. Looking forward to trying it again.

Best, authentic gelato and authentic foods in the valley.

Great food, great people. The Italian grocery part is extremely cool too. The food is as fresh as it can be and some of the cheese tastes like it was just made. It was so good. The ham melts in your mouth with the cheese and mmmmmmmmm!

Love everything about this place, had a beautiful panini sandwich, the bread was truly fabulous. Got all the meats and cheese that we need for an Italian Christmas

Since I moved to Phoenix (AZ) I was so concerned about finding a "real" Italian Bistro. As Italians we are always looking for little corners to savor and remember our home and our traditions.....and what do you know? Thanks to a friend that took me to Dolce Vita I was lucky enough to find this amazing place with the best variety of cheeses and cold cuts served with the impeccable service of Walter and his wife!! Grazie ragazzi finalmente ci siamo sentiti a casa! Now, don't get me started on the Gelato......outstanding, handcrafted and authentic Italian Gelato, hands down!!!

Best health ever! I plan to keep going there forever.

My go-to flavors in gelato are Dark Chocolate & Banana. That being said: Dolce Vits's Banana gelato was delicious. And while the Dark Chocolate was tasty, I prefer Frost Gelato's Dark Chocolate. Staff was accommodating. Lots of flavors to choose from, basic S, M, and L serving options. Cones & other goodies available, too. I just prefer a cup & spoon.

My boyfriend and I decided that we wanted to make pizza from scratch so being new to Gilbert Arizona I jumped on Google to look for Italian markets near me and found Dolce Vita and I'm glad we decided to shop there. It's a cute store with 2 sides to it one is there delicious homemade gelato store area and the other is there deli where you can buy everything from meats to pasta. Everything we purchased from here for our homemade pizza was delicious and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

If you want authentic real world Italian this is your place. We stumbled onto this cute little location when looking for gelato and we're very impressed. Then when grandson was diagnosed as gluten free found they had the best gluten free pasta around. They also ship in wonderful marinaras and vodka and all other sources of sauces from Italy. Their meats are frozen and shipped directly from Italy as well can't say enough good things about this place. Every time we've been there we've been joined by an Italian family next to us at a table. That must say something about how authentic the food is! If just getting gelato, service is very quick but we have found that if ordering food on the other side of the store you should be prepared for a decent weight because a small location and service can be a bit slow....but worth the wait.

Excellent gelato!!! This tastes just like the gelato you get in Italy!

Ok, I didn't buy anything, it's a grocery store. Gelato looked tasty. I was seeking a fresh bakery.

Visited several times while on a golf trip. Excellent gelato made daily at their shop. Phenomenal staff that went above and beyond to make us feel like locals. I will definitely come back!!

I have tried so many favors and all of them have been great. Most favors are gluten free.

My favorite frozen desert in Mesa! The hardest part is picking just a few flavors :-). I usually go with the salted carmel

Come for the gelato, stay for the gelato. I challenge you to get a large and mix the flavors for the best combination. I kinda failed... Each flavor I ordered was amazing (especially the lemon) but they were beat enjoyed indivually. I'm sure if I go again I'll do a better job of choosing the right flavors!

Best Italian Deli in the valley. Walter is offering customers a true taste of Italy. He carries high quality Italian products. His gelato is the around!

We used to live close by and come here when we visit! Authentic gelato made by a talented family!

I can't stress enough how amazing this Gelato is! I happened to come in while they were competing in an international Gelato contest in Miami FL. Their winning flavor is what I unknowingly picked today. It's called "Stupify" , Italian cookies and caramel homemade daily. I'm from Boston Mass, where a quick trip to the North End will always satisfy the pallete. Today, I felt like home. I can't wait to try their deli. I wanted to go back for more, same-day!!!

Best gelato ever, amazing varieties. I have been eating here since 2007

Fantastic gelato. The best gelato I have ever had. In a nice and quiet part of Mesa.

Been going there for years! Family friendly and best gelato ever!

Delicious gelato!! Highly recommend. And they really pack it into the "small" cup

The best place in the Valley of the Sun for gelato and Italian panini, cheese, meats and bread.

This place is fantastic! The gelato is amazing and I love that it s a family run business.

The Gelato is always delicious reccomend it to everybody

The location of this gelateria in NE Mesa,AZ could easily compete in any American city with Italian heritage neighborhoods. My double dare is Gelato Dolce Vita deserves a place at the least as a Top 10 location for gelato and sorbetto across the US. Walter Bergamaschi born in Italy returned to train at Carpagiani and earned his certification to bring Italy's sweet gift to the desert SW.
Less than 5 minutes from the Falcon Field airport you could easily fly in and "chill" with best. The recipes show no hint of being Americanized with DQ or Baskin Robbins style flavors.
If it were possible to add a 6th start to this review I would do it! Bravo and Molto Grazie to Walter for picking the corner of Brown & Higley in Mesa, AZ as the epicenter of gelato in the desert SW!

Very rare, real Italian gelato, just like I had in Rome 2 weeks ago.
