If you want authentic real world Italian this is your place. We stumbled onto this cute little location when looking for gelato and were very impressed. Then when grandson was diagnosed as gluten free found they had the best gluten free pasta around. They also ship in wonderful marinaras and vodka and all other sources of sauces from Italy. Their meats are frozen and shipped directly from Italy as well cant say enough good things about this place. Every time weve been there weve been joined by an Italian family next to us at a table. That must say something about how authentic the food is! If just getting gelato, service is very quick but we have found that if ordering food on the other side of the store you should be prepared for a decent weight because a small location and service can be a bit slow....but worth the wait.

Yumm!!! Although it is located in what seems like an empty plaza, this is definitely a must try! What I Ordered - Butter Pecan - Amaretto Both of the flavors were delicious! It might be a little too sweet for some people but it didnt bother me. I have a major sweet tooth!! :) Only complaint I have is that they limit you to only 4 samples per person. I really dislike the fact that past customers who sample and dont buy anything ruined it for others. :( Im indecisive and I like to know my options before I settle!

I have been going here when they only had gelato and loved it right away. Everything is authentic and quality food. The gelato is super good. The deli has great sandwiches and pastas. I have a friend that is gluten free and can eat any of the breads and pastas with no reactions. All of the flour used is imported and not processed in the US. This is a small family owned business from an Italian family who takes pride in what they do. Unique and quality food that is hard to find in Mesa.

Their gelato is the best I have ever found. To be honest, I dont try other places as often any more because I feel like I am cheating on them and they have never given me a reason to cheat! The food on the deli side is outstanding. Everything comes from Italy and after a single bite you know it is the real deal. My mouth is watering.

Come for the gelato, stay for the gelato. I challenge you to get a large and mix the flavors for the best combination. I kinda failed... Each flavor I ordered was amazing (especially the lemon) but they were beat enjoyed indivually. Im sure if I go again Ill do a better job of choosing the right flavors!

One of our favorite spots in Arizona! The gelato is such a special treat (so many delicious flavors to choose from) and the sandwiches are awesome! Its hard to find great authentic Italian spots and this is by far our family favorite in Mesa! No wonder they win awards all the time!

Great food and great people! We just returned from Italy and were missing the food. Real, authentic (and delicious) Italian food like in the restaurants in Tuscany. Weve had their croissants, sandwiches, and salads and all were excellent. Still havent tried their gelato . . .

Wow. Simply wow. I tried Gelato once in the Pacific Northwest and it didnt even compare to this establishment. That wasnt Gelato, but this is. Perfectly balanced and absolutely delightful. We tried the Coconut Gelato, the Pistachio Gelato and a Doppio. Pure heaven.

Had an gift certificate, that had actually expired, but they honored it! I had the Chocolate Espresso with Dulce de Leche and it was wonderful. We will be back for lunch so we can have one of their pannini and a cappuccino.

Best Gelato in AZ. Wonderful texture and bright flavors. Attached to a lunch counter and Italian grocery. For after meal treat, this is it. This handcrafted delicacy is expensive and worth every penny.

I didnt even know I liked Gelato before coming here. Ive been to several gelato shops and I was never as impressed as when I walked out of Dolce Vita in Mesa. Authentic and delicious. I love this place!

Incredible, outstanding, delicious, friendly, phenomenal, and tasty are just a few words that dont even begin to do this gelato shop justice. Just make sure and order large + take out.

Wonderful food at the deli. If you like the brisk pace and tone of a New York deli, youll love this place. Authentic Italian food and loads of people speaking in Italian.

Such an amazing atmosphere. We went and there was an Italian man singing with a guitar and everyone in the grocer section were singing along. Gelato is phenomenal.

Some of the best Gelato youll ever have. Many of the flavors are seasonal or at the whim of the owner so theres a different variety almost every time you visit.

Best Italian Deli in the valley. Walter is offering customers a true taste of Italy. He carries high quality Italian products. His gelato is the around!

Amazing little Italian deli/grocery with great food and service. They also have a variety of delicious gelato flavors. Love the Mochaccino and Limoncello!

Excellent gelato. My only dissatisfaction is you are limited to two sample tastes. With such a nice assortment of flavors. It hard to know what you want.

Great gelato, a little expensive and it was crowded. More seating and faster service would be great. Also more chocolate-inspired flavors!

Great gelato, food, and a really neat Italian grocery store all in one. I live in Apache Junction and feel it is worth the drive.

Best gelato in Phoenix, hands down! Kind of glad this place isnt closer to me, or I might go waaaaaaay too often.
