Dolce Neve was such a delightful dessert experience. Dessert is my Achilles heel, however, gelato is my kryptonite. This was my first time at Dolce Neve. It is a small gelato shop with a very homey feel. One of the owners of a gelato shot in Italy told me that the best gelato was not visible where you see gelato but covered in metal containers. Quite honestly, this is the first gelato shop I have seen Texas where their gelato was covered with metal containers. Thus, my curiosity had already been peaked by the viewing of the gelato metal containers. Like most gelato shops I was allowed a few samples. Finally, I settled on two flavors - La Neve (custard with lemon zest) and organic pistachio, which were smooth and robust with flavor. This gelato was so enjoyable to eat. Dolce neve also serves ice cream pops, which looked super appealing. In addition, you can also purchase coffee. Prices are on the higher side, yet very worth the investment. Definitely looking forward to my next visit... read more

OMG this is the best gelato!! Takes me right back to Italy! Unfortunately they were out of pistachio (which would have been my top choice), but I'm so glad I tried something new! I sampled 2 flavors and got a small size half and half. The hazelnut was sweet and salty- loved it, but the star of the show was the ricotta with candied orange peel and dark chocolate. Woah. Flavor explosion. It tasted like Italian cookies and I just absolutely loved it! They have a few tables and chairs inside and outside. We sat on the patio and ate our bowls quickly before they fully melted. We met really friendly other customers there that told us how much they love this place. 5 stars - can't wait to go back! read more

Dolce Neve - Ricotta,Honey,& Pistachio as well as the Vanilla from Madagascar - Gelato Near Me - Austin, Texas

Espresso so good we drove across town to buy a bag. Gelato so creamy and perfectly sweet. Great service, super helpful.

Dolce Neve might be great compared to the other places in Austin; I don't know. Two weeks ago I paid thirteen Euro for six huge scoops of gelati with two huge scoops of fresh whipped cream at Giolitti near the Pantheon in Rome. At Dolce Neve in South Austin last night I paid fifteen dollars for four tiny scoops of gelati. That's the objective comparison. I will skip giving a subjective comparison read more

8/10 Taste was so-so good. Was surprised and impressed. Waffle cone to gelato ratio is not great, waffle cone bottom did not get filled so was left with just waffle cone halfway down. Atmosphere was cozy, good for a lowkey night if going during the evening. Two dates happening when I went! Cute read more

I'll definitely come back to try more! read more

I visited Italy a few months ago and have been on the hunt for gelato that comes close to what I had there--and this place is probably the closest I've found so far. The pistachio flavor was incredibly creamy, decadent, and nutty, with just the right touch of sweetness. The matcha was on the milder side and lacked a strong matcha flavor, but overall, this is probably my favorite spot in town for pistachio gelato. I'm definitely coming back to try more flavors. The shop has both indoor and outdoor seating, with a cute and cozy interior. It's a great casual spot to hang out with friends after dinner. The service was excellent--staff were friendly and eager to help. read more

Dolce Neve - Pistachio and matcha - Gelato Near Me - Austin, Texas

I think dolce neve has decent gelato, albiet its not my favorite in Austin. I'm also a major waffle cone girly, and dolce neve's cone is straight up not good- it tastes stale and flavorless/not buttery. On my most recent visit, I got the buttermilk strawberry and chocolate hazelnut flavors. I think the flavors are good, but the texture isn't as creamy and full bodied as other high quality gelato places. I also sampled the pistachio, which is normally my go-to here. I think dolce neve used to be better when I was still in college, but this spot is still a staple and nostalgic gelato place to go to when in Austin. The service is pretty good- they tend to each person and let you try as many samples as you want. Interior is small and parking lot is small, but isn't this the case everywhere in Austin LOL read more

This is the cutest little shop! It feels like a tiny little home. I love the vibe - cute & quaint. The gelato is solid. Decent portion sizes too! They have different flavors at different times. For example, as we were leaving, they put out a pineapple sorbet. I would definitely go back to continue trying new flavors! The shop also serves coffee. It's a cool place to do work or study. They have wifi, but I would come with a charged device as I don't recall there being too many outlets. read more

I love gelato and had to finally come try this place and it did not disappoint. We sampled the almond custard, orange peel chocolate and peaches and cream and all were delicious. Ended up going with the chocolate orange peel which had proper orange peel pieces in it YUM and almond custard which was nice and smooth and lightly flavored almond. $6 for a small which is kinda steep but I'll definitely be back to try some of their other flavors. read more

My family and I visited Dolce Neve. We drove around to the side and back of the building for parking. When we walked in we were kindly greeted by two young women working behind the counter. They both answered our questions regarding the flavors and explained a little bit about what will be coming soon. When we asked about the flavors they told us that we could try some on taster spoons. I chose to get a small cup which you can get two flavors in. I decided to try the Crema Dolce Neve which is a custard with lemon zest in it. I also tried the vanilla. Both the custard and gelato were good. The custard with lemon zest was flavorful and not overly citrusy. The custard and the gelato were smooth and creamy. The inside was well lit and there was seating available both inside and outside. It was a cool place to try a cold treat with good service and good gelato. read more

Stopped by Dolce Neve on a warm January afternoon after lunch. The parking lot was completely full, there is only room for about 4 cars, and there was a bit of a line inside as well. There was only one person working in the front, so it took about 15 minutes. I noticed there was variety of flavors, some pretty unique too. Overall, I did really enjoy the gelato/sorbet here, the hojicha tasted like sweetened green tea, but not too sweet and not bitter either. The grapefruit sorbet was really refreshing with the perfect amount of grapefruit bitterness that it tasted authentic and still enjoyable. read more

This spot was recommended by a local friend and it's perfect location across the street from Greetings from Austin mural. The staff were very kind as I was indecisive about what flavors to try. The shop is super cute with a patio with pink chairs and a couple tables inside to enjoy. Thankfully it was pretty quiet when we arrived so we could sit inside to eat. The dark chocolate sea salt was delicious and the coffee was very rich and flavorful. There is a public restroom as well. read more

Great little spot to grab an after dinner dessert. Parking is in the back. The lady that helped us was really sweet. We tried lots of flavors before landing on cappuccinos + stracciatella/vanilla from Madagascar. The gelato was creamy and delicious. read more

Dolce Neve - Gelato on a stick! - Gelato Near Me - Austin, Texas

Amaaazing freshly sourced gelatos and sorbets with daily rotating flavors. I spotted this place while taking obligatory touristy photos with the "Greetings from Austin" mural nearby, and stopped by on a whim thanks to the ridonkulous heat. They had freakin' yellow watermelon sorbet (!!!) so I already knew I was in for a treat, but as I kept sampling, it got harder and harder to choose. But I got the medium size and was able to pick three different flavors, so I also went with organic mint and goat cheese and pecan. Each flavor was so tasty and struck the perfect balance between sweetness and highlighting the fresh ingredients. The yellow watermelon sorbet was so refreshing and light, and the goat cheese and pecan gelato was right up my wheelhouse: creamy and a bit savory/tangy. I wish NYC had a location! Our frozen-desserts competition is stiff, but Dolce Neve honestly became one of my favorite dessert spots from this visit alone. read more

I've been here many times, and it is awesome, authentic, Italian gelato. The flavors rotate and change with the seasons, so there are new flavors every couple weeks or so. Some of my favorites are the chocolate and vanilla, pistacio, hazelnut, and any flavor with goat cheese added. They also have amazing short bread cookie gelato sandwiches, chocolate covered gelato on a stick, and great espresso coffees. I highly recommend Dolce Neve, it's the best frozen dessert in Austin. read more

I know its gelato and not technically ice cream but.. Dolce Neve is my favorite ice cream. I have a near obsession with the Mascarpone and Matcha flavor. Its pretty much the best thing you could ever hope to have. Its so creamy coats your tongue and just has the best mouth feel ever. All of the cheese flavors are amazing: Mascarpone and Figs Ricotta, Honey and Pistachio Goat Cheese and Pecan Goat Cheese and Blueberry Jam Fromage Blanc and Apricot Jam If they have any of those flavors when you go in that's what you want. Keep up the amazing work Dolce Neve. I love you. read more

Dolce Neve - Gelato Near Me - Austin, Texas

Dolce Neve has a couple locations in Austin and one in Houston. This place is right across the street from the "Greetings from Austin" mural so if you're going there to take some pictures remember to stop by here to grab some gelato. There is a small parking lot in the back of the store and there is also street parking around the area. They have both indoor and outdoor seating if you want to enjoy your dessert in the sun. We got the small cup ($5.50) which includes two flavors and we picked the mascarpone & matcha and the stracciatella. I enjoyed both although I preferred the stracciatella more. They have many different options and of course you can ask to sample them before you commit. This was a nice spot! read more

You're worth melting for Highlights: *Rotating Flavors *Locally Sourced Ingredients *Homemade Waffle Cones Review: This is my go to gelato spot that never misses and always satisfies my sweet tooth. I ordered a Waffle Cone with 3 scoops, the flavors I chose were Stracciatella, Organic Coffee and Pineapple Sorbet. The Organic Coffee flavor was bold, smoky, semi sweet, slightly bitter, rich and would satisfy any coffee enthusiast. The Stracciatella was creamy, sweet, light, with added richness from the slivers of chocolate plus amazing contrasting texture. Finally the highlight of the day was the Pineapple sorbet which was semi sweet, fruity, refreshing, with notes of acidity and freshness. Can't wait to try all of their rotating and seasonal flavors of Gelato. Rating: 10/10 Waffle cone with 3 Scoops- Stracciatella(bottom), Organic Coffee(middle) and Pineapple Sorbet(Top). read more

Absolutely nothing negative to say about this place. Tried the whiskey pecan and another that was egg based (forgot the name). They were both rich and delicious!

Quaint little gelato shop next with unique flavors that change daily and a gelato machine that is one in three in the world. They usually make granitas also but didn't have any when I visited. The staff is very friendly and gave great flavor suggestions. The place fills up quickly so beware of limited seating. Check out the gelato books on the bookshelf in the corner. Walk across the street to take a picture in front of the Austin mural too! read more

A friend and I stopped by to satisfy a sweet tooth and we left happy :) The gelato was simple yet delicious but I was sad they didn't have any sprinkles (or any toppings at all). But the quality of the gelato made up for it. The inside was small and crowded so we sat on their lovely outside porch and enjoyed our gelato there. Overall: an adorable place with simple sweets, nothing extravagant but it was enough to fulfill our craving read more

Affogato was creamy and rich and not too bitter with espresso. Like many places around Austin these days, it's a bit pricey it is still all around delicious and the flavor options were great.

what a great way to end the night with a little FRESH and clean tasting ice cream. i came to visit in Sept 2025 and my buddy sent me here. the small portion was enough to satisfy but there are larger sizes available. the parking is a little tricky but was well worth the trip. i at the time had pistachio with chocolate mixed in the small cup. so creamy and fresh and clean and all natural. read more
