Been here several times whenever I am in the area. Lots of delicious choices to choose from. Pay first and then sample/order. Could be a lineup. Limited seating in the store.
Currently in the hands of the fourth generation of the Grippo family, Dolce Amore is the Drive’s favourite place for gelato. Made in the traditional Italian style, the cases are beauties to behold. Stainless steel chaffing dishes overflow with balls of gelato, topped with a flourish of garnishes that reveal their flavours. You can also find 500 mL, 750 mL, 1, 2 and 5 L tubs of the good stuff to go to ensure your freezer is adequately stocked for those midnight cravings.
No foodie can resist the call of authentic Italian gelato in the summer. Dolce Amore is Commercial Drive’s favourite neighbourhood gelato spot, serving unique flavours like blood orange, s’mores, and salted caramel. Can’t decide what to pick? Fear not; you can split a single scoop into two flavours.
It’s no surprise that Vancouver’s Little Italy neighbourhood is home to some of the city’s best gelato. The Grippo family has been serving up fine frozen desserts at their traditional Italian gelateria for four generations. The small-batch gelato has a smooth consistency and is available in a range of classic varieties and imaginative flavours like Kinder Surprise and caramel popcorn. For a real indulgence, ask to have your gelato sandwiched between two fresh-baked cookies. Seating is limited at this cash-only spot so it’s best to take your treat to go and enjoy it while strolling along The Drive.
