Dolce Italian Café - Cafe in New Canaan - 98 Elm St, USA

From the moment we stepped into this quaint Italian bistro, we knew we were in for a treat. The warm and inviting ambiance set the stage for what was to be an unforgettable dining experience. I opted for the homemade rigatoni with Pomodoro sauce, adding meatballs to my dish. The rigatoni was perfectly al dente and the Pomodoro sauce bursting with the fresh flavors of sun-ripened tomatoes, basil, and a hint of garlic. My wife's choice was equally impressive - homemade fettuccine with truffle. The fettuccine was expertly crafted, tender yet firm, and the truffle added an exquisite depth of flavor that elevated the dish to new heights. It was clear that the ingredients were of the highest quality and the dishes were prepared with a lot of care and passion. But what truly set our experience apart was the outstanding service. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their offerings. They made us feel welcomed and valued, enhancing our dining experience. We ended the evening with what might have been the best tiramisu we’ve had. Highly recommend.

Love the friendly people here, tasty authentic italian coffee, amazing bluberry scones. One of my totally go-to feel good places in New Canaan! 🤍

Authentic Italian pastry shop. Great service and gluten free pastry/pastries available! All of their crepes are also gluten and dairy free. Also a good selection of hot teas. I’m so glad I stopped by. 🤓

I drove 50 min to go there, I only took a picture of the salad which was more than I expected! Delicious !! But we also ordered coffee, matcha, paninis and cheese cake! All tasted fresh! And not very oily or sweet. Also, the employees were very nice and kind! I’m looking forward to go back soon !

A new found gem! My mom and I ate inside- got a panini and a salad which we both loved, followed by a delicious crepe. Got some Nutella doughnuts to go and they were phenomenal - one of the best I have ever had / so fresh. Food came out promptly and the staff was very sweet and friendly. Highly recommend!

I hate to leave bad reviews, if I could send this privately to the manager I would. If your staff cannot manage a milkshake and crepes, dont have it on the menu. Ordered from Uber eats and could not consume any of it because it was terrible.

Dinner is delicious! Highly recommend the drunken affogato to end the night.
