The position of this restaurant is sooo good for selling gelato! I cannot just pass by their colorful ice cream! The cakes here are also amazing! Each of them looks delicious. Bought twice for birthday. The brunch menu also has various options to choose from, vegetarian friendly as well. Kinda italian, I saw many people ordered their pizza!
Dropped by for ice cream on a hot summer's day. Ice cream was yummy, service was great and fast. Don't have anything bad to say from my experience.
Perfect location for this venue on the corner, perfect for summer when the doors are open to serve Gelato. As soon as we walked in all we saw were cakes, chessecakes, cannoli, slices so many to choose from but for this time we just had these three which were delicious. I would recommend if you around civic and wanting dessert to check out this place!
Featured below are the Vanilla Slice, tiramisu cake and a chocolate vanilla cream filled cannoli.
Always my go to place to get my share of sweet fix. The ambience is warm and inviting and one would have a difficult decision to make while choosing for an array of cakes and pastries on display. For someone looking for more savoury delicacies their wood fire pizzas are a big hit.
Actual rating 3.5/5
We went here for dinner one night and boy was it packed, both indoors and outdoors. Luckily we got one of the last few empty spots. Via dolce from first glances would appear to be a gelato and cakes store with a decent display of the above. However, on their food menu they also serve pastas and pizzas. We ordered the lasagne, hawaiian pizza and vis dolce special pizza. The pizzas were nice, but not amazing, and the lasagne was a lot smaller than expected. Food took a long time to cook and service could be better.
We got two take away pizzas from here - the verde with spinach and another with salami - which were very good. The base was fresh and crunchy and the ingredients were good quality and not packed on (a good thing).
reading the reviews here make me wonder why they go so hard on the service. service was very good, even for young staff they have been trained well. prices are very attractive and coffee and cake was good. would go here again.
I’m kind of obsessed with ice creams haha
And by far this one has been the best I have tried here in Canberra
Must try the cassata flavour it’s very different but tastes good.

A great ice cream on a warm warm day! 😍😍
Delicious ice cream! Would recommend the chocolate one! Go get some! :D
The ice cream options are plenty and the ones I tasted were all super amazing!
I would give a higher rating but the price for the cakes are a bit too overpriced now. The cakes however, are still great - one of best, and it's definitely my go to place for dessert, as it has a wide range.
The Red Velvet cake & Cannoli are my favourite atm. red Velvet has a smooth texture and not ever too dry, but tonight the portion given was way too small for $8 a slice. I've had some pretty bad cannolis, and this one is just right- not too thick or sweet.
The drinks and coffee here is reasonably ok, and the price is not too bad as well.
As much as I would complain about the price, and my disappointment with the size of the red velvet cake, I'm still going to pop in here every once in a while because the dessert selection is too hard to resist.
(Accidentally took a bite out of the cake before taking the photo, my bad)
Very busy cafe, but soooo many options for dessert. Came back twice during our 4 days in Canberra. Opens later than more cafes too which is great. Portions are decent sized too. We had a group of 7 and sat outside, which is.a bit dirty (ground need to be swept a bit, and tables weren't being cleaned fast enough). No service outside except for when they bring the food to you - you have to order inside and take a number.
Fun and packed cafe in the middle of Canberra next to the Canberra Central mall. Great place for desserts 🍨 and gelato which is what we had. You order inside and they will bring your order out but no outside table service. Dessert 🍨 counter displays were gorgeous and decor was nice with wine bottles displayed. Fun place to sit outside and people watch.
Huge range of deserts and cakes. This place is in huge demand. Sitting arrangement is in open area, they do have few tables inside the store too. Staff is always on the go due to high demand, but on time and good service. Open till 11 pm. Kitchen closes at 10 pm.
Yummy and tempting cakes and deserts.
Lovely dinnerware.
Best dessert place in Canberra. Slightly overpriced but quality, taste and customer service makes up for it. Owner looks after most of the customers individually which is commendable !
Huge heart portions, perfect for a cold night out. The lasagne is so rich and comforting yum. Not many dairy free options so keep this in mind if you’re lactose intolerant. Drank the best hot chocolate, try a dark hot chocolate next time 🤤 My friend’s hot choc didn’t come in a mug (and he wasn’t asked either). Space was quite cramped, not entirely sure it’s covid safe to be sitting to close to other people but if you like the cozy vibes this might be a positive instead.
Yummy gelato, 2 scoop for $7.90. Love the setup with plenty of outdoor seating. I find it cute the waiters are dressed fancy and there's classical music playing
I have been twice to this store and so far I have tried their vegetarian pizza, penne Napoletana, Spinach & Ricota Ravioli, multiple pastries, small cakes and coffee. All these food items specially the pastries are made to perfection. Their sticky date pudding will give stiff competition to Jag’s restaurant in Sydney. Next time I am going to try different gelatos.
