Gelato Dolce Vita, Mesa

Harvesting the fruits of their in-depth training in Italy, the sweets-purveyors of Gelato Dolce Vita scoop and serve carefully crafted creamy gelato in a variety of inventive flavors. Local, organic citrus fruits produce tangy licks in select flavors, in contrast with the dark-chocolate and brownie notes detected in cups of Death by Chocolate.

Made-to-order gelato cakes catch eyes with colorful and intricate decorations, and house-made tiramisu and cannolis transport tongues to Italy without tainting them with visa stamps. The Italian masters also pep up patrons with cups of steaming espresso, cappuccinos, and lattes.
