La Dolce Vita Gelateria Caffe in Harrow

Victoria pub barnt green Donner very poor, vegetable curry. Rice clogged together and only a spoonful of curry on. Waitress said she's come to ask how meal was whilst we were eating, bit she didn't. Very disappointed. I take friends there as live near but won't again.

So pleased to gave found this place close to where I live. A piece ofIraly in Ruis Iip. Pistachio gelato was FULL of flavour with tiny bits of pistachio delicious. I cannot wait to go back and try another flavour. How lucky to have this in west London I

We ordered a ice cream cake which was a slab of ice cream in shape of a cake. My 5 year old could have done that at home using a cake tin !! I paid £37 for ice cream in shape of a cake ! I normally use Baskin Robins and will continue using them as supporting small businesses you don’t get heard when you complain. Owners attitude was so bad and he was very arrogant. I expected a cake with Ice cream as filling instead I got a slab of ice cream ! Avoid and save your money !!! My husbands birthday ruined !!!

In de zomer van 2020 langs gegaan, personeel was zeer onaardig, kijken niet naar je om... moesten zelf naar binnen lopen en werden terug verwezen met norse blik dat we moesten wachten op mevrouw. Koffie smaakte prima, maar gastvriendelijk is het niet.

Badly needed ice cream for that hottest day of the month and went in to try this place. Have tasted better one with much lesser price at similar place in central London. Waffles were served in glass were inappropriate and couldn’t enjoy at all. Disappointed visit.

Overpriced rubbish, two milkshakes purchased for 10 pound 60 which was both like drinking water .. I said to the rude member of staff that they were a bit milky he said there supposed to be .. rubbish customer service to .. definitely wont be using again

always the place to go for a coffee, ice cream or even breakfast. the latter is great and good size portion. Ice creams are great too. service is good as well

Very expensive . Not to recommend to nobody . Price change every day. Since the owner change no same quality. Sorry

We brought our kids here for an ice cream and asked if we could have two flavors in one scoop. The answer was a blunt ‘NO!’ We were offered instead two “bambino “ scoops so that we could have two flavors. When we paid we were each charged for two children’s ice creams which cost more than an adult double. There was no apology and no room for compromises. We even heard one of the waitresses call a client “idiot “ behind his back. All in all a negative experience, £5.20 each for a children’s ice cream is not even central London prices. A part from all this, the place has no atmosphere and the ice cream is mediocre. Definitely not a place we will ever come back to.

Been a regular here for ages & always enjoy the fresh ice creams & pastries . They were always made fresh in the premises. New change in ownership has seen a decline recently. The service was great prompt & efficient. My ice cream arrived with a slimy coating showing it had been sitting in the freezer for ages. £4 a scoop is not cheap for ice cream either. The pastries not as fresh and delicate as before. Seems they are bought in. Great looking coffee shop with good ambiance however. I will still go for coffee alone & nothing else.

A small independent ice cream parlour come coffee shop, that shows the chains how to do it properly. A few doors down from a Baskin Robbins La Dolce Vita is a refreshing change, the choices and quality of the ice cream is exceptional, and they are also great if you just want a coffee. With a wide selection of sandwiches, toasties and cakes, all at reasonable prices, and freshly prepared, it has everything you need for a snack or a light meal

Great coffee shop in Hatch End. Staff are always so welcoming and polite. Coffee and food are always served hot when it should be or cold when it should be. A pleasant alternative to ‘some’ of the local restaurants.

Cakes freshly made on site and taste great. Not too sweet particular pistachio cheesecake one of our favourite. Nice coffee too. Have to try the gelato later.

I find this place ideally located, and great if you don't want a big meal. Take my nieces and nephews for Ice cream, Pancakes or Hot Waffle treats. Some nights we stop off here with friends for Coffee. Last week, we met up for a short meeting and found ourselves a nice round table to seat five adults. It is spacious at the back, so we had our privacy.

Sono anni che vado in vacanza in Abruzzo, a Pineto, e un amico del posto ci ha consigliato questa gelateria assolutamente originale e da provare.

This place never fails to impress! It is a small cafe with a great selection of ice creams desserts and drinks. It also does some food dishes. I love the thick Italian hot chocolate (paschioc) and my wife loves their coconut cake. We are regulars there and the staff are very friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Been to this place a few times now and has never disappointed. The Ice creams and desserts are on point. Staff are friendly and the place is clean. Can't go wrong

Good coffee and excellent Italian pastries. There's also a wonderful range of ice creams. Good place to go if you've had dinner locally and don't fancy the desserts on the menu.

Yo y mis 3 años (Isha) fuimos a La Vieja Dolci Vita para un helado y café. descarado

Fuimos a cenar en el bar de la carne salada y tenía que venir aquí para después de la cena el hielo. crema Había unos cuantos de nosotros y nos llevó un tiempo para elegir que quería lo sabor. El personal era servicial y nos las arreglamos para conseguir todo lo que querían. La tienda era elegante y las pantallas estaban llenas de buena comida y pasteles preciosos. Tuve enjambre de vainilla y fresa. Otras tenían Nutella, bubblegum, pistacho y otros sabores variados en conos y bañeras. Incluso tenían navidad sabor flan! ! ! Bien vale la pena ya que estaba delicioso. ¿Quién dice que sólo helados para el verano! ! !

Fabulous flavours to choose from and other options if for some extraordinary reason you don't like ice cream.

There are a number of restaurants near by but not that good of choice of desserts. This is a dessert lounge with nice seating. Staff are helpfull. Prices not too bad. It stays open to 11pm I think. Nice seating area. Dessert was ok, but they did over microwave our chocolate fondant a little. Good range of ice cream tho. We would go again.

After a home cooked dinner we fancied some rich dessert.Went up to this place and found the most amazing pistachio ice cream and that too sugar free.Will go back again and again

I don't normally write a review but after finishing a lovely evening with my grandson in London we decided to call In to have some light refreshment on way home and would like to mention the food and staff were excellent ,but one young Irish girl Anne was so friendly and polite I could not go with mentioning her .. Thank you and we are very much looking forward to our next visit

Me my friend and his family wanted to have ice cream late night the shop we wanted to go was closed and accidentally find this place we all had different flavours of gelato ice cream and surprisingly we all enjoyed it so much and wanted to go back again it's small cafe with few seats and you can also enjoy coffee tea and sandwiches as well

Pluses:1) Good gelato - with some interesting flavours2) Clean sitting areas and countertops3) Cappuccino was surprisingly well craftedMinuses:1) Crepes are poor - rubber texture2) Food service was a bit odd - by the time the fourth person was served, the first two had finished3) Clean to the point of being synthetic and sanitized I probably would not go again

I often pass by for an ice cream here. Today we say firm and all ordered a various number of dishes. All were superb from the toasted sandwiches to the pasta for the kids. I'm a real foody and this place for sure is excellent. The gelato is homemade, superb quality and the cakes are too.The coffee was exceptional, the range is just like you would find in Italy. I was fortunate to meet the owner who explained to me her love for Italy. You can surely see the Italian passion in all the food prepped at this beautiful cafe. A few biscuits come from Sicily, these are the items displayed on the top part of the counter. All I can say to the owner, is that she absolutely fantastic. A great place, superb food and service.

Very good Italian style ice cream in Hatch End a few doors down from Baskin's. Highly recommend the coconut and pistachio flavours.

My boss and I have a weekly lunch in La Dolce Vita, and food is always tasty, served quickly and service is fab. The ice cream is the best I've had for a long long time. Highly recommend.

Having parked outside, she who must be obeyed decided icecream was called for. This was the first time we went in. The place was clean well furnished, most comfortable, and friendly. Although they call themselves a gelateria on the menu was wraps, beigels, and a wide variety of foods. The service was efficient and friendly. The choice of ices was substantial, as indeed were the cakes and other items on the menu. Will we be going back ........... Of course.

This low key Italian style cafe is nicely decorated with semi circular booths and glamorous lighting. Spotlessly clean. Offers great coffee. Good sandwiches, pastries, breakfasts. Lovely, helpful staff offered to make custom smoothie for my mum when she did not want plain juice. All in all, excellent, reliable, comfortable.

Stumbled into this cafe with my sister and was extremely impressed with the friendly service and hospitality of all the waiting staff. The atmosphere was pleasant. Not over crowded. Comfortable seating and when the sandwich arrived it was well presented with a salad garnish and crisps and the latte was hot and tasty. No one cleared anything away until we were ready and I had to make it a point to let the manager know how happy we were. Lovely to find management actually happy to speak with customers. Can see the staff love their job and the whole place exuded a charming warmth. Don't normally make time to write reviews. This place was so exceptional I have decided to share my review as if everyone knew how lovely this place was I'm sure people couldn't get in through the door. A very unique and special experience. Will definitely return.

Service was excellent, coffee was great and dessert was amazing. We were going to go somewhere else but found other dessert places over crowded and full of of young people hanging around. This place was quieter and had tables available and was a more authentic Italian style cafe - which is exactly what we were looking for after having dinner. Will definitely be going back!

An enjoyable breakfast lunch coffee shop. Pleasant service and chose of sandwiches and cakes. Nice place

A lovely place to go for breakfast or for dessert. They have a good range of dishes which are all at a very good standard. I recommend

I went there with a friend for the second time today. The coffee and dessert were lovely. I was however disappointed with the service. Whilst we were eating dessert and drinking coffee, the staff attempted to clear our table. It was clear we hadn't finished so had to ask him to come back! The place closes at 11am and at 10.59, the front door was left open making it clear it was time to leave (it was 2 degrees so very cold)! Not appropriate for a chilled out coffee!

I have visited La Dolce Vita numerous times now and have yet to be disappointed! Their ice creams (gelato) are home made and in a variety of flavours, the cakes are made fresh in the store and there's excellent choice; from cake, cheesecake, cannolis and Italian biscuits. The coffee is as one would expect to find at a nice family café in Naples, i always get the Paspuccio.Thankfully i don't live in hatch end otherwise i would have turned into a cannoli by now!

I love the salted caramel ice cream the most and always up for trying the new flavoursA nice treat for the whole family Best known for their drinks and deserts; not had the greatest lunches here

A visit to Hatch End to meet up with in laws turned into a proper treat when they brought us here. Lovely service alongside delicious ice cream! Pistachio is my fav and they make a great one here. Coffee is great too!

I can’t recommend La dolce Vita enoughStaff are warm, welcoming, friendly and make an effort to know each customerCoffee wonderful, better than any of the normal chainsGreat ice cream In a confortable environment that is open from 7am to 11pm.On second thoughts, perhaps I should keep quite about it!

We went there for a quick meal on a Saturday lunchtime,They had sold out of soup at 1pm,the all-day breakfast is only served till 12 noon why? they certainly are not that busy.Why take on staff that do not speak English and why serve pasta of the day from a microwave AVOID !!!

Went after dinner in the area with friends.Luckily there was just enough seating space as there were eight of us.Some customers left as they were annoyed we had two tables to ourselves which the waitress kindly put together for us.Very relaxed efficient waitresses who bring over everything for you, you don't have to lift a finger.they have toilets which is handy,comfy seats.Bit pricey £3 for one scoop of ice cream but worth it as the flavours are fantastic and one was enough.£5 for two scoops!Pastries are all very dry and are actually the ones I found in the pound shop around town.Charging £1.50-£3 each.macaroons taste like wallpaper paste at £1 each or three for£2.50.I went back for a latte it was great.best ive had.Latte+Pastry+hot water with lemon slice was £5.Had to leave early as the old women that were in there were showboating their conversation with their bare feet up on the chair next to us and were staring us out as we got up to leave.I believe they were taking advantage of the lovely waitresses as They have impeccable service manner.I would go again but maybe when its a bit more empty.

My boss and I can be quite hard to please when it comes to finding nice places to eat on a tight time restriction. Both the lunches (toasties, salads etc) and the ice cream are delicious and we both felt it was reasonably priced. Have been many times and never disappointed - their no added sugar ice creams are fab and the salted caramel ice cream is absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.

Hey, I've lived in hatch end for a couple of years and last summer I discovered Dolce Vita. Since that time every single day I pop in here and have my coffee or jasmine tea with a piece of cheesecake. I absolutely love this place and it makes my day when I start it with a take away coffee cup. The owner and the staff are friendly and caring, they know already what I would like and would cheer me up if it's a rainy day outside. Same other way around. Happy to be here and spend "family quality time" in Dolce Vita. Recommended. I also like eating bagels with smoked salmon, the cakes, ice cream and coffee are the best! For dining out I'd go to a restaurant though. For the breakfast, I'd come here as they have great omelette ;) and for fine eaters - English breakfast (too big for me)! Enjoy nice local cafe in Hatch End!

My Fiancée and I meet regularly after work to wind down have a coffee and catch up the staff are always friendly and the service is excellent. Everyone works hard to give you a good experience and make you feel good. The food and drink on offer is very good and this place is well worth a visit Amita the owner is always available to discuss any issues you may have and the staff an asset

I went to this place with a family friend, it's a really nice place with a good atmosphere and kind waitresses but it is a bit overpriced.1097josh

This place had fast become my local cafe of choice -very friendly staff and great coffee (Italian, Pascucci brand).

I was very excited to find an Italian pasticceria in London. Unfortunately there was nothing Italian about the flavours of the sweets sold in this venue. A waste of calories

Nice caffe, fabulous ice creams, friendly staff and generous portions, couldn't be better! This is a great place to catch up with friends, have some family time or simply unwind when you need a break.

We have visited this place twice in last 9 months whenever we have eaten in hatch end. The dessert and ice cream variety is decent but the prices are atrocious and not value for money. The review is ok but the ice creams are nothing special

Visited this small cafe mid-afternoon. I wanted an ice cream but saw a notice by the cabinet saying that ices contained soya. I can't eat soya so asked the waitresss if all the ices contained it. At first she said, quite rudely, that none of them did, so I asked her to check. But her English was so poor that I just couldn't understand which, if any, were soya-based, So I asked for a cheese and ham toastie. No - they were out of bread. I agreed to a pannini instead, but when it arrived it was a very hard stale ciabatta. At £4.95, including a side salad and crisps, it was reasonably priced, but not what I had ordered or wanted. I did eat it but only because I didn't want yet more hassle. I wouldn't recommend this place at all - poor choice of food, really bad service.

Visited this beautiful Ice-cream/ coffee shop recently to see if its still excellent as it was a year ago when it opened and it is getting better. The presentation of the food and amazing range of different types of Pascucci coffee are best in London. The authentic Italian ice cream is made fresh on the premises aswell as the cakes and Ciabattas.There is a large selection of pasta and salad dishes if you want more than great coffee. I had a lovely Tiramisu which was best I ever tasted.The coffee mad owner went to Italy and discovered the brand of PASCUCCI coffee which is not seen over here much but very strong. Beats Starbucks, Costa any day as the coffee is like molten rocket fuel....well worth a visit as the staff and Owner are very enthousiastic and warm and mostly Italian. Top marks. I will be back.

Have been here quite a few times - very welcoming staff/atmosphere-quality coffee and tasty homemade paninis /lunches & cakes. Lovely surroundings, you can tell money has been spent on the place! The owner Amita always welcomes you with a smile & friendly chat! Far nicer than surrounding coffee shops! You get good old fashioned good customer sevice here. They seem to have got it just right!

The desserts are very nice and tasty and very well presented. Sandwiches are also very good and are perfect with a nice cup of coffee.

I was very impressed with the fast and prompt service. My hazelnut latte was on my table within minutes, which was by far the best I've ever tasted. My chicken wrap arrived shortly after and was heavenly to indulge in both at the same time :PJust before leaving I had to purchase 3 macaroons and they did not disapoint! Despite the reviews.I will definately be returning here, whenever I pass through the Pinner area!I definately recommend La Dolce Vita

I visited on a Sunday afternoon with my son and daughter, normally we would go to Indulge in Pinner but given it can be a long wait at times, we knew this place would be quieter.We asked for a single scoop of ice cream in a cone, and my son then asked for smarties toppings. The cold response from the lady serving us was that it was very hard to get any toppings to stick on a cone, and she would still charge us regardless of how many stuck on. Before I had a chance to explain this to my young son, she had already started topping the cone. I thought at least she would hand any smarties that failed to stick, but she just threw them in the bin. At a charge of 50p, the least she could do is return them to me..given I had paid for them!Compare this to Indulge, who not only managed to get a whole ice cream scoop topped generously, they also gave a little bowl of smarties on the side for my daughter...free of charge! I guess that's why that place has a 30 minute wait and this one doesn't.

My husband and I visited Dolce Vita in Hatch End for dessert. We ordered a coffee and we chose to share 3 macaroons between us! As I bit into the first macaroon I found myself chewing on a large piece of plastic! We told the waitress straight away who was fairly unsympathetic however, she did offer us another choice of dessert but I was totally out off! The waitress then went on to charge us for all 3 macaroons and claim it wasn't their fault and they'd have to contact their suppliers in France's! Meanwhile, they also carried on serving the macaroons to other customers in the shop.Definitely our first and last trip to Dolce Vita!

I have order large coffee and the large cup was same size than Starbucks small coffee cup, ridiculous!! Overpriced £3.20 and the coffee was terrible. Not recommended.

Stopped in after a meal at Chuck burger bar across the road.Staff were warm and friendly on a genuine level which made it very comfortable to sit in.Fancied a coffee and this coffee was very good,not too strong or bitter but perfect to have on its own or with a dessert,made it all the more enjoyable .Had a slice of lime and pistachio cake was very good as unusual combination.Looked at the shop made gelatos and had a few tastes were good but recommend the chocolate Pinguini my favourite.Will return.

We all Love coming here my daughter is 8 and my friend's daughter is 10 and every time we come here we all have a blastHighly recommend affogato it's heaven on earth.Najim is so nice and friendly our daughters are way too excited to order their ice creams to him. Super place for friends and family anytime and day.

My husband and I decided to go out for coffee and waffles. We had driven past la dolce vita a few times. Anyway upon arrival it was empty ( weird for saturday evening) we ordered a waffle with choc sauce and extra banana. The owner told us there would be extra charge for the banana. Off he went and made a coffee for my husband which was cold. And an Earl Grey tea for me which was horrible cold and so weak and he gave a tea time to monitor how strong I wanted my tea. So I left it for 5 minutes for strong and it went cold. He then asked us if we wanted our own banana or would like to share one??? How would I know what a standard portion is???? My husband told the waitress the coffee was cold which she then mimicked us to the owner saying that we complained about the coffee. The waffles were rubbish and tiny. Would never go there again nor recommend. There is a waffle house on bushey high st which is 10000 times better.

(It's in Hatch End, Pinner, not Slough - hope to get this changed shortly.)After dinner elsewhere we decided to try out coffee and cake or ice cream as a belated dessert as we had not yet exhausted our daily calorie allowance. Ice cream counter is by the door with three bar stools, coffee and cakes beyond that, and red freestanding seats or banquettes along the side wall leading to the toilet. What did I like most? The strawberry and cheesecake ice cream served in a choice of sweet brown cone or paler waffle cone. The choice of pistachio ice cream either with or without sugar. Sitting down, we were given knife, fork and spoon wrapped in a paper serviette. The pecan pie was good. The double espresso, which I ordered with hot milk, ok. Sugars already on the table. You might see more choice of flavours, or prefer the pistachio at another outlet take away ice cream take away specialist, but this place is a real cafe with more appeal for adults, has music, seating and a toilet which you won't find at the takeaway only outlets. The one toilet is ground floor and unisex with a washbasin inside it, very good for the disabled - maybe that's why here as many other places nowadays there's no lid on the toilet. Take a look at the menu even if you've chosen from the display. We discovered more items we fancied. We'll be going back to try the affogato. I suspect I will get to like this place more and more as I get to know the staff and find what I like on the menu and stick to to my favourites. They are open until 11 pm which is handy.

I took my 3 small children there for a treat where they all had ice cream which were all really tasty. I had a coffee which was good quailty. Very friendly staff and a nice clean environment. Definitely think it is the best place to go for a coffee in hatch end and will be visiting again in the very near future.

We went there for Coffee and desserts, this is a recently opened place and we enjoyed the food there. They were understaffed so service was a slow but they did their best to serve you. Service is understandable as teething problems...Will be back for more desserts...
