Customer Reviews
Don't normally leave reviews, but just have to send some love to La Dolce Vita. Coming from Long Island NY, we had a hard time finding a good Italian bakery and this place blew us away! Family owned business, amazing pastries and a staff that recognizes you when you walk in. You can't beat it! Using them to cater our wedding (also not to mention the pricing is so reasonable!) and will be regular customers there for many years to come.
I ordered black forest cake for my husband’s birthday. They messed up the writing on the cake and nobody was there to correct it. This was my husband’s first birthday with our newborn and I was very sad with the appearance of the cake. I did not make a big deal out of it. When we cut the cake it was not exactly a black forest flavor. It was more of a chocolate flavor which was bummer. Now we have a 18 inch cake sitting in our fridge and nobody wants to touch it. I called next day to share my feedback and seems like they dont care about customer service. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLEACE!!
Spectacular design and delicious cake. We ordered a cake from La Dolce Vita for my 60th birthday party and it came out beyond our expectations. The owner Peter decorated it himself and it looked like a piece of art. It also tasted amazing. We were so impressed and Peter himself delivered it to the venue to make sure it arrived safely. We really appreciated that. La Dolce Vita is also an awesome place for coffee, cakes and pastries. You will not be disappointed.
