Dolce Spazio Gelato — Restaurant in Los Gatos

UPDATED: We have been visiting this Gelato shop and really enjoying the consistency of the Gelato and the changes in their flavors; we loved it,

My husband and I came here to pay a visit for their gelato and espresso hot drinks to go along with it.

They have pretty good choices of flavors to pick and a very friendly staff.

My husband ordered the Amaretto Almond and Espresso flavors (Due). As for me, the Holy Cannoli and Cappuccino Chips (Due). We’re supposed to get 2 Single espresso shots when we try to order again for the second time. The staff made a mistake and gave us Uno gelato with espresso flavor instead of the coffee --- single shot espresso. In the end, we decided not to make another attempt.

As for the gelato, we must say that this is, so far, the best gelato we’ve had from different gelato shops we’ve been to. However, I must say the flavors weren’t strong or bold. For example, in the Cappuccino and Espresso, you can’t taste much of the strength of the flavor itself. Same for the Holy Cannoli, though what we love about their gelato is that it’s not sweet, and you can taste the milk's creaminess. We found their gelato's stretchy style or texture interesting; I'm not sure what they add to make their gelato like that.

As for the coffee itself, we found its boldness and strength lacking. Given that it’s Italian gelato, we had a bit high expectations—you think they must serve great boldness and a kick of the coffee flavor.

Overall, we’re pleased. We're happy to visit again for different flavors, perhaps skipping the hot coffee...

Dolce Spazio Gelato in Los Gatos is a delightful destination for anyone craving a sweet treat. Their gelato is truly a standout, crafted with care and bursting with flavor. With a variety of options ranging from classic favorites like stracciatella and pistachio to unique seasonal creations, there’s something to satisfy every palate. Each scoop is creamy, rich, and a testament to their commitment to quality ingredients. The gelato has a smooth texture that melts in your mouth, making it a perfect indulgence on a warm day.

In addition to gelato, they offer a selection of sorbets that are equally impressive, providing refreshing alternatives for those seeking dairy-free options. The vibrant flavors, such as raspberry and mango, are incredibly refreshing and make for a perfect treat.

While the products are outstanding, the service at Dolce Spazio could use a bit of fine-tuning. On a busy day, the staff can appear slightly overwhelmed, which may lead to longer wait times. Additionally, there were moments when the staff seemed less engaged, which detracted from the otherwise friendly atmosphere of the shop. A more attentive and upbeat approach would greatly enhance the overall experience for customers ready to enjoy their delicious offerings.

Overall, Dolce Spazio Gelato remains a must-visit spot in Los Gatos for gelato lovers. With their superb flavors and high-quality products, it’s easy to overlook the minor service hiccups. I’m looking forward to my next visit, hoping to see some improvements in service alongside those irresistible...

As a LGHS alum and returning resident/local, I gotta say, everything is just as I left it and if possible, even better! :-)

I have been enjoying revisiting a lot of old favorites here, checking out new eateries, and perusing the updates to the downtown area. It certainly received quite the face lift haha! Not that it needed much, but the newer remodels and COVID-seating (blech!) certainly doesn't seem to hurt the overall look and feel of Los Gatos. Somehow they made it work, and it offers more ample space to enjoy the sunshine in style.

Anyway, back to gelato. This is a very special place with the very best in gelato quality, flavor, and aesthetic. Sometimes the younger workers forget the special wafer, but that's okay. It's the most delicious gelato and ice cream place in the area and worth a stop if you are ever driving through, or if you're a new/returning local like...
