    Fresh and flavorful gelato made in-house
    Asheritah C.

    What a delightful surprise! We had business at the BMV next door and walked over for ice cream afterwards. I didn't know what to expect, so it was like walking into a little movie theatre wonderland. The decor pays homage to the location's previous life as a movie theatre, and there's a moving playing on the big screen in the background (hard to see in this photo). We walked in on end of The Little Mermaid and caught the first few minutes of Lilo and Stitch. It's summer kick off week here, so maybe that's why they're both beach-themed kids movies? But the star of the show (hehe) was definitely the gelato. All the flavors tasted fresh and flavorful, and the attendant was generous with the samplings. We decided on the chocolate hazelnut, coconut, and raspberry sorbet. Portions are on the small size--as one would expect from a Gelateria in Italy, but perhaps unexpected at an ice cream place in the US. Regardless, the flavors more than compensate. Just slow down and enjoy every bite. We'll certainly be back, maybe for a date night (and hopefully a non-Disney movie) next time!

    Bakery goods!

    I enjoy a ride to Wadsworth to Dolce At The Strand! There's always so many choices of gelato and pastries!! I was told at my last visit that the tiramisu is authentic and they were taught by an Italian baker how to make it!!! Everything is always from here. The cake flavors change weekly!!

    Sunday afternoon at Dolce at the s. We had the S'mores cheesecake and a flight of sorbet/gelato: lemon, strawberry, blackberry, coconut, salted caramel & buckeye. Everything tasted delicious! The cheesecake was decadent. Our favorites were the salted caramel & buckeye gelatos and blackberry sorbet. The interior is amazing! Definitely a place to rent out for a party or event. They also have a large patio area. We will be back.

    Taste of Case!

    This place is just the cutest spot! We decided to "taste the case" with our large group and it was a fun , delicious decision. The young man that helped us was such a wonderful worker. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The gelato was delicious- my son also got the popping boba and enjoyed it. Thanks for a wonderful dessert. We look forward to coming back every time we visit Ohio to see family.

    Located in downtown Wadsworth, and inside the former Strand theater, this establishment serves fantastic gelato and coffee drinks. They even serve boozy concoctions! I highly recommend the affogato! After I ordered my affogato, I sat outside which was delightful. Enjoyed the affogato; smooth and delicious! Tasted great with the salted caramel gelato. The person who took my order was helpful, friendly, and nice. She was also doing a good job training a new employee. When you are in downtown Wadsworth, you need to stop here!

    We love gelato!

    Delicious desserts, and always service with a smile. Any meal in downtown Wadsworth must be finished with a suite dessert at dolce.

    Whoaaaaa.... this place was so cool. I can't believe I didn't know about it, I'm telling everyone!! What a hidden gem, I've been in downtown so many times and didn't know about this. They even have a patio with boccce ball in the back and a large area with tables and music playing. When you walk in you literally have red carpet treatment.

OK, whatever, they were busy. We were overcharged for our wine by a $1, but we let that go. The thing that annoyed me most was that they weren't even serving wine in the right glasses. There are red wine glasses and there are white wine glasses; You're a wine bar - serve it in the proper glass. So maybe it's just that one night when there was a crowd. Sadly, no. Went after work last week and only four other patrons. The three guys hanging out with owner all had red wine in red wine glasses, but the guy next to me got red wine in a white wine glass. So apparently they're just clueless. Or perhaps they were saving all the red wine glasses for friends of the owner. As far as wine selection, thumbs down. Maybe 20 whites, total. There are many, many restaurants with better selections, such as Papa Joe's, the Bistro in Kent, that will even serve your wine in the right wine glass -- imagine that! To be honest, I don't get the sense that they're taking their business seriously, more like, "Hey, let's open a wine bar! We don't know jack about wine or the service industry, but it couldn't possibly be THAT hard, right? We'll print up the wine lists on the home computer and put them in these 3 prong cardboard folders left over from when the kids were in middle school. Piece of cake."

They have inside seating and a nice wrap around deck. But no real food. You can bring your own which is good. They only have some cheese and crackers and chips. They have a wine selection and it's white, reds, and fruit wines. The descriptions are a bit subjective. I tried the rose and the apple. Rose was better than the apple but just ok. Apple was not. I thought it was counter to the description. I didn't want to try any more. I am sure if I tried more I'd like 1 but I didn't want to keep going it was a school night. Service is at the counter. Order and find a seat. It's pretty simple. Overall just mediocre.

The ambiance is cute with a few different tables and a communal table for couples/ singles. Bottles of wine adorn the built in library walls and it does seem cozy. I love the original typewriter in the bar area. We sat at the shared table, pulling up QR codes for the menu. We had to flag the only one person serving the entire bar down so that we could order drinks and food. She took our drink order, and then probably about 30 minutes went by after we were eyeing her left and right, it was clear to us that she was too busy or not making eye contact because she couldn't keep up with what was happening. Or at least I thought. After watching her have a full-blown conversation with the other person working there up at the bar area, we finally were able to get some food in, as my bf flagged her down. Olives for $7. A couple had pits that they missed I guess. But only about 12 olives total. Absolutely ridiculous. The BBQ chicken flatbread? Perhaps not. The dough was like a matzoh cracker. The chicken tasted like bland boring boiled chicken. After having been there for about 45 minutes with no food and only a couple of very strong Manhattans that were not well made, I was starting to get loopy so I wolfed down the flatbread even though it tasted like garbage. While I think this spot has a lot of potential, the service was so lackluster in the cutest of little towns, I would not come back.
