The woman working behind the counter was very nice. She let me sample a gelato before I tried it. She also explained all of the different desserts they have from crêpes to tiramisu and the different flavored gelato. They have a huge assortment of flavors for gelato. They have one full side that is all fruity flavors, and the other side, which has everything from chocolate orange to almond. I got the almond and the pistachio gelato. This is honestly the best gelato I've had outside of Italy. It was so creamy! After I ordered, I realized that they also have espresso here! The next time I come, I am absolutely getting an affogato with the gelato!

I visited Vivoli Il Gelato about an hour or so after we ate at the Boathouse Restaurant for dinner…read more My husband and I were in the area. We wanted to have some dessert. I thought I'd go with just one scoop of peanut butter gelato. At first, I was taken aback by how expensive it was which over $7 for one scoop. So while I was not surprised that much money would be charged for a small amount of food especially at Disney Springs, I did think this was a lot of money to spend for just one scoop. The flavor was good though. The gelato was extremely rich and creamy. The peanut butter flavor was fairly strong, but not too sweet, it tasted more like peanut than sugar. The ambiance felt somewhat as though you were in an intimate Italian café vs. a quick service kiosk. The way they presented their gelato in the display cases made every flavor appealing. The team members were fast and friendly. Overall, I am happy I gave it a try. Quality wise, I have no doubt, however, with the prices, this would be a special visit, rather than something I would purchase on a regular basis. If you like peanut butter flavor such as myself, it is definitely worth a one time taste test!

From day one, the owner has made us feel welcomed, remembered, and truly part of his world, and that level of hospitality is something you can't manufacture. It's real, and it's why this place stands out. The gelato is on another level entirely. I've traveled, tasted, and tried gelato in major cities and abroad, and nothing (absolutely nothing) compares to what's being crafted right here in our growing Ocala. The flavors rotate constantly, keeping every visit exciting and perfectly matched to whatever mood you're in. Each batch is rich, smooth, balanced, and made with a passion you can taste. We've never left with a single regret, only smiles and that satisfied "this hit the spot" feeling. And honestly, the gelato here deserves worldwide recognition. It's that exceptional. But what truly elevates La Dolce Vita is the owner himself - someone who cares deeply not just about his shop, but about the people who walk through his doors. His pride, kindness, and consistency have created a place that feels like home for so many of us. Ocala is lucky to have this treasure. Thank you to the AMAZING owner who has poured years of heart into serving this community. This is a must‑visit, a must‑return, and a place that continues to set the bar for what great gelato (and great hospitality) should be.

My friend went in to order sfogliatelle and a black and white cookie. He said the woman behind the counter was a bit impatient with him as he was looking at all the pastries and actually shook her head in frustration. I took one bite of the cookie and couldn't eat it. Both it and the sfogliatelle had a musty taste, though my friend said the inside of the shop didn't smell musty. I wanted to be one of the ones to rave about this place. Sadly, I cannot.

It's in what's called the Miracle Mile shopping area in Vero Beach. Very nice storefront, we were immediately greeted and welcomed once inside. A lovely display case filled with delectable looking cakes and cupcakes. Next to that was a cooler with various exotic flavors of gelato. My wife got the fudge brownie and I got the vanilla coconut. Both out of this world and like the Reese's old commercial together they tasted amazing. We also ordered a strawberry cupcake with white frosting and topped with coconut and a sliced strawberry on top. Looked and tasted wonderful. So, if you're a dessertaholic like I am and you haven't been...GO!

It's like they have about 10 flavors available so it's not like you have that many testers you would want, but only One is rude. Then the cup is tiny for one serving and it's $5. They do not split flavors either. If you want 2 flavors split there an up charge for it. It is nice they have small tables and chairs outside to enjoy the miniature cup of gelato. Now I understand why it's dead inside and they are literally next door to a bustling Italian restaurant. Definitely much better options in the area that are more welcoming and kind to customers.
