Dolce Far Niente ice cream — Restaurant in Athens

If you find yourself wandering around the Acropolis area, do yourself a favour and stop by Dolce Far Niente! This little spot is a true delight! The ice cream is freshly made, creamy and full of rich, authentic flavours. I tried the pistachio and apple pie, and both were outstanding - the kind of quality you’d expect from a boutique gelateria in Italy.

The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is relaxed and it feels like a perfect little pause in the middle of a busy Athenian day.

Whether you’re a tourist or a local, this place is a sweet escape you’ll want to revisit. Highly...

Service was really rude, a lot of energy from the girl but in a rude way. When I asked for a flavor recommendation, she made it clear that her time was too valuable for that, despite there being no real line (less than a 2-minute wait). This didn't stopped me from buying ice cream just to find out a very basic ice cream you can buy from supermarket. It wasn't terrible, just nothing special and definitely not something I'd come back for. Next to this shop there is another famous one (Django) WAY BETTER service...

I had the pistachio gelato and a half scoop of ricotta and fig gelato and it was fantastic! Especially the pistachio! Silky smooth and such a rich pistachio flavor. It was so good I thought about going back a second time in the same day, but decided not to be that much of a glutton. The staff were also nice and patient with me being indecisive. Allowing me to taste different flavors. Highly recommend. Best gelato I've had in a very long time, ...
