Feedback on La Dolce Vita. (Hospitality and Gastronomy) located in Waiheke Island (Auckland)
Overview
A Hidden Gem on Waiheke Island
Tucked away at 30 Belgium Street in Ostend, La Dolce Vita is like stepping into a piece of Italy right here in New Zealand! Seriously, if you’re on Waiheke Island, not hitting this spot is like ignoring your fate.
When I first visited, the thin crust pizza caught my eye immediately. I mean, we’re talking real-deal Italian here! Fresh out of the oven and topped to perfection. The Ninco Nanco pizza? Just wow! And let me not forget the lasagna – it had me planning my next visit before I even finished the plate.
The vibe inside is super friendly and relaxed, almost like catching up with old friends. The chef, Simone, doesn’t just whip out your order; he pops out to chat, remember your face, and even knows locals' favorite dishes. That personal touch? Priceless.
And oh boy, the gelato! I tried the vegan chocolate and it was nothing short of magic. Plus, they serve Kokako organic coffee, perfect for an affogato pick-me-up. You can take it all home too, which is a bonus if you fancy chilling on your couch.
Open from Thursday to Saturday, with limited hours, it’s cozy yet bustling. Plus, it’s kid-friendly, with options for gluten-free and vegetarian diets. Just be mindful of those busy hours; it gets packed!
All in all, La Dolce Vita is a must-visit. With a stellar 4.9 out of 5 from over 221 reviews, I’d say it’s pretty safe to trust the hype. Grab a scoop (or two) of that gelato and savor the moment. You’ll thank me later!
