Specialties

Our Gelato:

After learning the craft from Italian Artisans, we are excited to bring frozen Italian indulgences to our local Utah community. Our products are handmade from the finest natural ingredients. We use imported Italian flavors, choosing the best that each area of Italy has to offer, such as pistachio, hazelnut, tiramisu, gran caffe, amarena (wild cherry) and Pernigotti chocolate. Our Rosehill Dairy milk frp, Cache Valley is all RGBH free. We use locally grown, hand-​selected fruits and berries in season for our sorbettos. Free from heavy creams, Dolcetti provides delicate and exotic flavors. Whereas traditional ice creams add air to increase volume, gelato’s extreme density gives intense flavor and a smooth, creamy texture, with 1⁄3 the fat. And you won’t believe our sorbetto is dairy free with less than 1% fat.

We also have belgian waffles, La Barba coffee, The Queen’s Tea, macarons, and desserts.

History

Established in 2004.

Elizabeth and Mark England are a husband wife team who started

with four Italian ice cars placed around SLC in 2004.

They soon realized they wanted to make something that reminded

them of their many trips to Italy. They researched gelato techniques. After a year of experimenting, they haunted the best gelaterias in Italy to find the most authentic flavors and ingredients, making sure they were making it to the highest Italian standards. In 2007, they flew in a master gelato maker to continue refining their skills, and adding new recipes to their collection. Their gelato recipes are made from scratch not mixes. Both creative and intuitive artists by nature they expect the best in whatever they create, «Our goal is to provide people with the same experiences they have in Italy, to make true Italian artisan gelato with the finest fruits and most authentic Italian ingredients, producing the taste of Italy in Utah.»

I had the coconut rice gelato and it was AMAZING. So good, and the place is super cute but very small. Not very many places to sit. I can’t wait to go back and try the lavender gelato.

Fantastic! I don’t write a lot but when I come across a place that was this good I feel obligated to spread the word. Coming from California and told by the hotel concierge and then also by the staff at Pago (another awesome local eating establishment) we had to check it out for desert.
Ally and Timothy were just about to close and were SOOOO kind to not only stay open late but also get out the flavor we really wanted that had already been tucked away for the evening.
As a heads up the Coconut Rice Gelato was delicious. Think of a cool, velvety rice pudding, not too sweet, with just the right amount of real coconut to add texture and flavor that makes it even better.
Overall this was a visit you won’t soon forget. Great service, great gelato and something everyone should go out of their way to experience. Definitely worth the trip. Thanks Ally and Timothy!

Cute little dessert shop that has THE best pistachio gelato and macarons. Lots of other interesting (and delicious) flavor options as well.

Well, based on the Unilocal’s reviews, I decided to try Dolcetti’s gelato… high expectations for the Coconut sticky rice flavor.
I did not remember that particular flavor when I was in Italy on my vacation, but maybe it was found in certain regions of Italy, so I was really curious to try it.
Parking was a nightmare, I had to park kind of far from the shop, but hey, I need to burn some calories anyway…
I was surprised by the ambiance, really unique and strange at the same time.
Not really my type of place… But I don’t care about the environment, I just review the product offered.
I got close to the counter where a long beard gentleman greeted me. I asked if I could have some samples and He recommended the Coconut sticky rice, because it was their «signature flavor»… Whatever that means, I tried it and it was horrible. Tasted like ice with pieces of uncooked rice, no traces of coconut detected…
Then I tried some sorbets and the taste was blend and icy. I end up getting chocolate and espresso. One little cup probably 4 oz I paid 3.77!
I would pay even more for good gelato but not for this one. Dolcetti should pay me. The thing is that I did not feel like I was eating Italian gelato.
Couple of suggestions:
1 keep it simple and traditional. Do not Americanize the product.
2 maybe add more cream, the texture is not there.
3 charge less until you execute points 1 and 2.

Fun ambiance! The gelato is delicious, but I feel like you’re paying for the location more than the quality of the gelato. Harmon’s has great gelato for a fraction of the price.
I haven’t tried the macaroons but they look really good!

I love gelato. I love the flavors and the quality. This is my favorite place when I’m in the mood for something sweet and not in the mood for something boring. I always enjoy coming here when I’m in town and not driving the country!

If you see the crème brûlée macaron available, get it. My two favorite desserts combined into one, it was seriously great. And the presentation was beautiful.

Incredible. Was not expecting the gelato to be as good as it was. The décor was cute but funky. The shop is located in this trendy little area, that I wish we had more time to check out. I ordered a scoop of half cookie butter half abuelita chocolate –so good. We also tasted some of the other flavors: passionfruit, coconut sticky rice, and a roasted cardamon-​honey. All were delicious, dairy-​free, and gluten-​free. Would definitely return!

Another really great gelato experience and today I tried a coconut honey roasted banana flavor that had me going gaga over it and yeah oh! Yeah their macaroons, another delight from dolcetti. This business never ceases to amaze me and I would drive any distance to get here for a taste of their gelatos.
This review is short because I have only one word to say «Gelatilicious »

I stopped by recently to grab dessert and coffee before a concert. It was about 7:30 and there were a handful of people including a guy who looked like he’d be there for awhile, working on his computer. Maybe they offer WiFi?
I tried the butter pecan and it was very sweet and creamy. The pistachio was nice. I settled on a scoop of espresso and the winner: smoked cardamom with salted honey caramel. It was delightful! The cardamom is right in front so if you don’t like cardamom, you’re not going to like this gelato.
I also got an espresso because I’m old and I need a boost if I’m going to be out past 10 for a concert. It was pretty standard, which isn’t a bad thing. I may or may not have stirred in a little bit of cardamom gelato because I’m an adult and I’ll do what I want.

Super quirky ice cream shop with lovely ladies greeting you as your come in. We tried the Strawberry Balsamic and Hazelnut gelatos. Off.The.Hook. Good spot to cool off during the summers but I can eat ice cream everyday so I’ll probably be hanging out here in the winters as well. In addition to gelato it appears they have other delightful desserts as well.
Can’t wait to try other flavor concoctions!

The little gelatoria is located right on the edge of a vibrant neighborhood that seems to always have sidewalks full of walking traffic and plenty of available parking.
It serves authentic Italian gelato and this is coming from someone who has live in Italy for almost a decade. It is delicious. There is a spacious and wonderful area to eat inside and plenty of seating outside, which is great for people watching.
I go here now for my gelato. It is the best.

I first fell in love with gelato from a franchise called Rita’s.
However they served primarily water ice… this is something none of you Utahn’s know about.
Anyway, this is what sparked the acceptance of gelato, thus trying this place out.
Didn’t regret it, I got the black cherry and I can’t remember what everyone else in the group got but I tried it all like a fat kid at a buffet. Everything was delicious.

Must try their sticky rice flavor. My favorite. You won’t regret it. Their macaroons were okay.

Lavender Honey oh my goodness… Best gelato I’ve ever had.
As for the ambiance: totally eclectic and fun, with both indoor and outdoor seating.
This is located in the coolest area, and if you have time, take your gelato and walk around the adorable neighborhood behind the street of shops.
Also, the staff was so sweet and helpful in picking flavors (which proves to be difficult).

I really don’t understand why people like this place. The gelato is mediocre, I have had a lot better. I love an affogato, gelato with espresso on top. I ordered one here, the espresso was so bitter it completely ruined the whole dessert. Such a shame. Awesome location, especially being next to Mazza but not worth the money.
New place in town just opener called Sweetaly, not that is some gelato. Just need them to get a bigger selection!

Very, very, hugely eclectic spot. Can’t overstate this enough, actually. You could spend a long, long time, just hanging out and enjoying the décor and it would be worth it. I really liked how intricate it was. Someone clearly spent a bunch of time on that and it shows. The level of detail is flatly amazing.
If you go here, get one of those silver wrapped chocolate things on the EAST side of the check register. Trust me, just do it. This will be arguably the best thing you will have in the place. The sign says amazing and they could not be more dead on. Staff is very kind and incredibly patient, even when she had to constantly interrupt herself to go bail out the ringing phone. I don’t know how she maintains that level of calm. I know I couldn’t.
As to those gelatos… these are a decided step down from Sweetaly. There, I said it, the whole reason you came to read the review. However, this is a very strong runner-​up. The Coconut Stracciatella was the runaway best today (probably a Very Good on the overall scale), followed by the Mixed Berry, then Chocolate, which were both Good, then everything else, which were ok/​solid. This would be the Vanilla, Pistachio and the Coconut Sticky Rice, that last being the best of those lot, but not by great amounts over the Vanilla. The Lavender Honey we all found kind of funky and wound up tossing it entirely. I’m a fat guy, right, so if I’m tossing away food, let alone ice cream (I know gelato is not, strictly speaking, ice cream, but I consider them the same basic dessert category, so shut up and worry about the semantics in your own review), that should be kind of telling.
I wouldn’t hesitate to go again, because, despite my tongue-​in-​cheek review of the «District», I do like this area a lot. Also a food truck is parked across 900 E. from this building a lot. Usually they are good ones. Anyway, not the best gelato I’ve had or in the city, but a good effort.

Delicious! And the service was amazing.
The parking situation is a struggle but once you get inside its all worth it. The location at 9th and 9th is great and the ambiance inside is pretty rad… lots of awesome stuff to look at.
Service was on point. They were friendly and helpful and patient while we tried to figure out what we wanted.
Gelato flavors are imaginative and unique! I wanted to sample every, single one!
We ended up with chocolate-​rich, creamy and delicious, Nutella-​so yummy with chunks of Nutella, and Coconut Sticky Rice-​the best of the bunch! So delicious! And the texture is great.
They also have macaroons and other treats.
This place is a new favorite for us!

Every time I come to Dolcetti I spend a solid 10 minutes deciding what I want to get after trying all the unique, fun flavors. That is, hands down, my favorite part about this place. If you want to be basic– go to cold stone and get a boring brownie fudge icecream. If you come here– definitely try the different like coconut sticky rice, rosemary olive oil, tiramisu, forest berry sorbetto, pistachio, etc. You won’t be disappointed!

You can’t go wrong with the signature coconut sticky rice. I also love the pistachio. Put them together in one of their fresh-​made waffle cones and you’re in for a great gelato experience!
Service is always very good. Friendly staff and fun atmosphere. I love the shadow box table!
