meet your local gelato maestro
Hi, I’m Nick! Passionately dedicated to handcrafting true artisan gelato, freshly made from scratch to please your palette.
a taste from the heart of italy
Trained in italy
The philosophy of Dolce Vita is nothing but the best and our mission is for you to discover our oh wow! We are serving you and your community nothing but the best Gelato. I went to Bologna to study and train in the most advanced gelato lab, with experienced gelato instructors, using the latest generation machines, bringing to you an exquisite, healthier, and authentic Italian ice cream experience to enjoy close to home.
We’re not your average ice cream shop
Whether you’ve never been, or you’ve been there before, it’s time to go to Italy, to experience the town of San Gimignano - the heart of Tuscany. Or at the very least, your nearest Gelato Shop. At Dolce Vita, we’re bringing a favorite vacation spot home to local families, friends and community so you can sit and enjoy the very unique flair of San Gimignano, one of the most impressive travel destinations in Italy. You’ll taste original and surprising flavors, hand-crafted by me, Chef Nick, using selected local and imported Italian ingredients, with no exceptions!
Freshly made today
And tomorrow, too! I use my artisan passion and creativity that only a master of the trade can deliver. As a result, you get to delight in gelato as a natural, full-flavored, pleasant retreat from the bland and airy traditional ice cream you might be used to.
A delightful Indulgence for your palette
Using no preservatives or flavored powders, and only fresh, locally sourced or imported ingredients, our gelato is hand crafted everyday to produce a richer, denser and delicious alternative for you to joyfully enjoy. This is different. The quality stands out in simple and natural flavors that are irresistible.
more of the good stuff
We’re with you in leading a health conscious lifestyle. Wellness oriented consumers who prefer a healthier alternative when it comes to food choices, will be happy to know Dolce Vita aims to be a better blend of goodness for you. Life is too short to settle for anything less than the best so we’re serving up more of the good stuff using fresh ingredients found in nature, like all-natural fruits, herbs, nuts and dairy with nothing artificial added. If you’re mindful to health, it’s a better choice, so you can indulge for enjoyment without giving up the delicious treats you love to dig into.
