Dolce italia — Restaurant in Helsinki sub-region

I don't understand some of the bad reviews just because they don't speak Finnish, especially if you want to feel the real italian food place and understanding they are trying their best in what they know; the food. Also considering suomi is not the easiest language, nor the most useful in any country not even in here where everyone speaks almost perfect English.

I highly recommend everyone to visit this place, you won’t be...

There is a note in the counter that encourages you to ask for more information if you have allergies or dietary restrictions but she was clearly annoyed when I asked. In the end the only vegan options in the whole restaurant were sorbets. The strawberry sorbet was amazing and I understand if a restaurant does not have vegan options but people working in a restaurant should at least know what...
