Craving something sweet after dinner? I stumbled into this adorable Filipino-owned gelato shop in downtown Burien and I got rice gelato and a calamansi-basil twist and OMG I can't rave about it enough like those two, well mainly the rice gelato was my favor!! Their menu does rotates weekly (they had ube on deck too!), so while favorites like rice or basil might be on the menu or out of sight, it's always a fun surprise. The place fills up fast indoor and outdoor seating means you can soak up the cute downtown Burien vibes while you snack. The service is good there is usually just one person working the store. If you guys are ever in the area give them a try! You won't regret it! read more

Dolce Diletto - Rice gelato, and Clemente basil - Gelato Near Me - Burien, Washington

Cute place situated in downtown Burien. I was craving sweet treat after my 12 mile run so I looked up for an ice cream place near me and found this place! The inside is very cozy and had a lot of seating! I was able to try different flavors and all of them looked so good... so I had a hard time picking. The coconut and ube is so good! It was so refreshing and creamy. Definitely will come back to try their other flavors read more

I have been coming here for years. The previous owners had a constant rotation of flavors and a silky fluffy texture. Today's visit was the worst. My daughter ordered a single scoop in a cup. Every other gelato experience I've ever had in any country or state has taken a paddle and filled the cup. Today the girl working used an ice cream scooper and gave her such a small scoop it could move around in the cup. Her sister ordered a cone and was given two huge scoops by the male employee. She was super bummed that she was given hardly any ice cream compared to past visits and compared to her sister. They have also said they would be getting punch cards back the past 4 visits. I'm done coming here. Suggest going to PCC and buying gelato instead. read more

Cute little gelato shop in the Burien area with a patio in the back. I stopped by on a summer weekend evening. Foot traffic was a little slow on this side of 152nd. The shop had a decent selection of items and the worker was happy to answer any questions or provide samples. She informed me of the popular flavors and recommendations which were very helpful. I was so intrigued by the Filipino-inspired gelatos such as champurrado, rice, and calamansi basil. I *loved* calamansi basil and would highly recommend that flavor. I would definitely come back again if I'm in the area. read more

Loved the Rice Gelato! I visited this gelato shop with my husband and we had a great experience. I chose the rice gelato, and he went with coffee and amaretto. All the flavors were delicious, but we especially loved the rice gelato -- it was subtly sweet, creamy, and really unique! One thing we really appreciated was being able to try samples before ordering. It made it easy to choose the flavors we really liked without any guesswork. The shop itself has a cozy and stylish atmosphere, with cute little touches like the flower vase by the window. We had a relaxing time and would definitely come back again! It's the kind of place you want to linger in, enjoy your gelato slowly, and maybe snap a photo or two. Highly recommend for anyone in the mood for authentic, flavorful gelato with a lovely atmosphere to match! read more

I really liked this place! It's small but service was amazing. The worker let us try multiple samples including the basil calamansi and even let us know of flavors they had in the back. Each flavor we tried was super flavorful and tasted very natural. We settled on pistachio and fig, and also got a small chocolate later. The pistachio tasted like it was full of pistachio butter and the fig flavor had real figs. The chocolate flavor was not too sweet and the cocoa powder really shone through. Definitely would come back and try more. I almost didn't want to leave. read more

Stumbled across this cute little gelato spot in Burien & tried pandan & calamansi basil gelato with the Dubai chocolate strawberries. Wow, just wow. The calamansi basil was the standout: bright, citrusy, and totally unique. Pandan was creamy and paired perfectly with the crunchy, rich, chocolaty strawberries. Will definitely be back! read more

The gelato here is delicious! Their flavors rotate and they have unique flavors. We got the ube and chocolate. I think sometimes the texture of the gelato can be a hit or miss. The chocolate gelato was SUPREMELY creamy, smooth, not icey at all, and very chocolatey. It's one of the best gelato texture I've had. The ube was also delicious but there were some ice crystals. I still enjoyed it! Their other flavors included calamansi basil which was nice and citrusy. And 2 sorbet options as well. The workers there are super nice too! read more

Dolce diletto is a tiny and fantastic gem in burien. Small space with not huge tables but it's cozy and good for post-dinner dessert. The gelato is deliciously creamy and smooth. Pistachio is so nutty and hits the spot. The chocolate is so rich and dark. A perfect combination. read more

Such a cute small shop & a hidden gem that was recently discovered! A small Filipino-owned gelato business with flavors like Calamansi Basil and Guava was refreshing and unique to see. As a Filipino American, I was excited to see these types of flavors. The gelato itself was really creamy, soft, and rich. The people here were kind and I was able to sample two flavors max when I went. I wish this was located closer to me in Renton - I'd come here way more often. Overall, I enjoyed trying this place out and will come back again if around the area! read more

Adorable little shop in old Burien. Rich gelato flavors as good as Italy. Mother and daughter owned shop. We had the pleasure of meeting the daughter who stated that they make their gelato in the basement of the shop. They have really interesting flavors. She mentioned that they are planning to expand their hours in the summer. We're excited to return to try the affogato. read more

Cute little shop, really clean, very friendly owner/worker. I was able to try a lot of the different flavors, they were all good- rich and creamy. I ended up getting the mint cookie because it was really cooling, especially on a hot day. Partner got an affogato with coffee ice cream, the ice cream was good, the espresso was not. Overall fun experience with yummy gelato. read more

A Gelateria! Dolce Diletto Gelateria! These are not the most frequent type of frozen treat place in the Seattle area, so I got to adventure to Burien/South Seattle to try this store out. It has been a recent, past few years, trend in my life that people I know/friends go to Italy and make it look good, meanwhile, I am sitting at my computer going... maybe I should just try to find some good gelato. So I finally decided to check a place out and went with Dolce Diletto. The Gelateria owner/worker when I visited yesterday, Wednesday 23 November 2022, was warm and in good spirits. Decor was festive for the holiday season, the store warmer than the outside, and music was playing. After looking over the flavors I went with the pumpkin spice and hazelnut flavors, getting a small bowl to take back to my car to eat. While I have not been to Italy, I have had gelato before, and this by far is the best gelato I have had. It melted a little faster than American ice cream and had a smoother consistency. Spices in the pumpkin spice really shined without a loss of the pumpkin flavor, a balance I had not encountered before. The hazelnut was probably the best hazelnut-flavored product I have had (gelato or otherwise). Both were instant favorites. All around a great experience. read more

Filipino run business. The flavors included the classic Gelato and some Filipino varieties such as Ube and Calamansi. The guy said he is trying to make a macapuno flavor. Great place to sit and enjoy. Very clean and spacious. read more

this is an insanely dangerous place to know about! i've been trying to time my burien visits to the hours of dolce diletto and today was the day! super cute interior. clean, with bright yellow chairs and a case that has inviting flavors... ...so many flavors it made it a bit difficult to decide. i opted for a small cup of half lemon basil and half amarena cherry. both were OUTSTANDING! i'd say the flavors tend to be more to adult palettes than young children but the quality is stellar and i bet if you come in with young kids, there'd be *something* in the case that would twist their arms please them. i started a punch card and will be carrying it with me for future times when i'm in the vicinity. it is obvious that they make their gelato with a lot of care. they apparently offer catering and i could see this would be a super fun thing to have at an event like a wedding or special birthday party. super glad i stuck with it in terms of finding a time to be in burien when they were open. a lot of times i'm here earlier in the day, but that may now change to accommodate their 3pm opening times, my wallet and waistline be damned. read more

So good! They have classic flavors like stracciatella or pistachio, and novel flavors like Calamansi basil (sweet Asian lime flavor, very refreshing in the heat) and ube. The shop is so cute and clean, and the back patio is a sweet little hang out. Very kid friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend, our favorite gelato/ice cream in the area!! read more

This little gelato spot is 10/10! I don't know why I've never popped in here before but after having way too many samples I settled on three small containers of gelato while chatting with the owner who was serving behind the freezer. He and his wife frequent Italy and derive their flavors and recipes from in-person experience, how amazing! I'm glad I finally stopped by :) read more

Imagine getting in ya car driving 10-15 min to this place cus it says open online but they just too lazy to update the hours

The food, atmosphere, and quick friendly customer service is a great addition to the nearby eateries. You can have lunch/dinner and dessert from different businesses within the same block which is super convenient and a fun way to get the family out. Great experience overall. read more

Lemon Basil & Strawberry sorbet is probably the best duo. Sooo good & love this little place! Pistachio comes 3rd in terms of flavor.

Best gelato in WA state! I highly recommend. The owners are friendly and they have different flavors on different days of the week.

Amazing gelato place with seasonal flavors of gelato and sorbet. Offers espresso and states that adult beverages are coming soon. Quaint and the owner is so sweet :) you can get two types in a small! read more

This review has been way overdue. Actually went there by accident. My husband was having a haircut from a babershop nearby so I decided to find a place to hang out while waiting. Then I saw this place on yelp. First of all, ice cream is my favorite food and I would not replace it with anything. I have tried a million kinds of ice creams and gelattos so I kinda have a taste to this kind of dessert. When I saw it has good reviews, I decided to take a visit and true enough, I enjoyed it. It tasted very authentic. I had the pistacio and lime basil which are both great but I love the pistacio a lot. It was the right texture for a gelatto. Very creamy and soft. I was planning to save some for my husband but of course I ate it all. Highly recommended. I also learned that the owner is also a Filipina (Not being biased as I myself is a Filipina) but the warm welcome plus the comforting dessert gives it a very homey feel. Would definitely be back. read more

Dolce Diletto is outstanding! My family loves it, they are quick, friendly, and have a decent selection. They did get rid of my favorite flavor (mint chip), but they have plenty of other great flavors. Definitely a place to check out. read more

I don't usually walk into places that don't have a yelp review already, but my uncle wanted to go in so I followed. It turned out to be a great choice. Service from (I assume) the owner was excellent, and the Gelato was super yummy. This is definitely worth a visit! read more

My partner and I recently moved to Burien and are absolutely delighted to have found Dolce Diletto! We just had a nice little date night with our favorite Tacos El Hass and topped it off with delicious gelato from Dolce Diletto. We are very happy that this was all within walking distance of our house. I got the chocolate gelato and he got the creamsicle. Both were just like I remember gelato in Italy to be. Thank you so much!! read more
