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.
Iām 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 itās very different but tastes good.

A great ice cream on a warm warm day! šš
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)
We came here specifically for the waffles and we weren't disappointed. Light fluffy batter and freshly made; all three that we ordered were uniformly sized and made, and consistently struck the right balance between a crusty exterior and a light soft interior. Wit Via Dolce have quite an extensive menu and with waffles being just one line item, we did expect premade, so being freshly made was a pleasant surprise. Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive, and as a first timer here, I was glad we came. Good range of gellato as well, which went very well with the waffles and fruit compote.
My go-to happy place for fantastic gelato! Consistently great. Having tried the Ferrero Rocher, and Rum and Raisin flavours, I can say that I'm excited to make my way through all their flavours - I've yet to find a bad one!
Stopped by for some dessert. Even though they were busy they found us a table and staff were very lovely. The gelato and the chocolate pudding were delicious. The only issue was the side of cream - not real cream, it was the artificial whipping stuff. Otherwise a really positive experience and definitely satisfied the sweet tooth.
Great desserts, I have had gelato from here many times and it is always great, the coffee, tea and small cakes from here are great too, will definitely be returning.
I almost always drop in here for a dessert fix after dinner in one of the nearby restaurants. They have an amazing range of gelato (and sorbets) and a fantastic display of desserts.
I have tried their cheesecake and found it to be amazing. The gelato are fresh, and although a tad expensive, are a treat!!
Recommended.
Fantastic cafe In ACT!!! Great cake and coffee. Love Black Forest best and flat white. Impressed by their style and atmosphere. Though a little bit noisy.

Oh, hello #icecreamthurs, aka Iām-in-denial-summer-is-over.Ā Canberraās dessert scene has its own little hub in Civic ā after shopping with a friend, we decided to have something sweet and ended up standing on the corner that encompasses the tough choice between Koko Black (chocolate), Oliver Brown (chocolate) and Via Dolce (icecream). Of course, we went for the icecream. The display cabinet at Via Dolce is always beautiful, and with such exotic flavours as Prickly Pear and Blood Orange, it was hard to choose. In the end I went for the Raspberry sorbet, wanting something refreshing. The portion was a good size (although it did look small in the cup) and the sorbet ticked all the boxes ā good texture, just the right amount of
Via Dolce is on the corner of Garema Place and Bunda Street with many competing cafes nearby.Ā It offers breakfast, coffee, pizzas and gelato. This is the third in our series of breakfasts and since we are enjoying them so much we may add a fourth.Ā

I ordered the Mega Breakfast ($22.50) because I am a big fan of big breakfasts and a Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice ($6.00).Ā The first thing I really liked about this place is walking in you can really smell the gorgeous smell of the wood fired pizza oven.Ā I was incredibly hungry this day as we got there later than normal, for a breakfast.Ā When it came out, I didnāt think it would fill me up and (spoiler alert) it did.
We have been once before and loved the pizza crust so much I knew weād be back one day. Their menu has changed (the menu on their website is actually old..) and I donāt believe this pizza was on it last time. I think I would have noticed. I love potato on a pizza and I wonāt say no to Italian Sausage so this was perfect! The crust was a bit crunchy but mostly nice and chewy, the potatoes soft and the italian sausage slightly spicy. It was delicious and I wish weād bought more than one!
Nice wood fire pizza and ice cream, recommend the Italy dessert, worth a try. Nice place to be with friends and family to have dinner together here.
The service here is awesome, and the dessert here are really lovely. We ordered two ice chocolate and chocolate cake. It's a really nice place for afternoon tea. I would love to come again.
Came here for breakfast. Good service. Coffee was alright and so was the food. Cant say its amazing but it's not bad. I would recommend this place, but not to coffee snobs. ;) my friend ordered eggs benedict - looked and tasted great (plate was empty)!
The best scrambled eggs I have eaten in Canberra. The basil accompanied the eggs so well.
The french toast was well cooked as well though the bananas could have done with Ā more carmelisation to top the meal. The berry coulis was great!
Great place. Don't know wha.... Great place.
Don't know what's with the negative comments about this place.
I eat at this place every tuesdsy before I start my shift as a cabbie.
My standard apple rhubarb crumble followed by a wood fired pizza.
Always great, staff always accommodating and friendly and it's always pumping.
Nothing but praise for this place
Great shop beautiful look and lovely staff who are enthused to be working in a great location selling Canberra some of the most beautiful Italian cakes . Not to mention the wood fired. Pizzas are Italian style well done and all the best Canberra needs this
Very nice and very trendy. Deserts taste awesome just the ice cream was a bit melted.
In summary canberra needs more places like this
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 šØ and gelato which is what we had. You order inside and they will bring your order out but no outside table service. Dessert šØ 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 youāre lactose intolerant. Drank the best hot chocolate, try a dark hot chocolate next time š¤¤ My friendās hot choc didnāt come in a mug (and he wasnāt asked either). Space was quite cramped, not entirely sure itās 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 Jagās restaurant in Sydney. Next time I am going to try different gelatos.
