La Bottega
More than gelato
From the first espresso of the morning to a warm slice at lunch — a little piece of Italy, all day long.
🍕
Pizza al Taglio
Roman-style pizza by the slice — airy, slow-proved dough baked in trays and cut to order.
Baked daily · By the slice🥐
Pasticceria
Cornetti, sfogliatelle and little Italian pastries to go with your morning coffee.
Cornetti · Sfogliatelle · BiscottiLa Storia
“A journey to Italy and back.”
Dolce Amore began with a simple homesickness — for the gelaterie of an Italian summer, the hiss of the coffee machine, the crowd on the piazza at passeggiata. We brought those flavours to Blandford Forum so every scoop, every espresso, every warm slice feels like a little trip south and home again.
Con amore, Dolce Amore
Il Banco · The Counter
Twenty flavours, churned fresh
Every morning we fill the counter with small batches of gelato and vegan sorbetti — Sicilian pistachio, wild raspberry, ripe mango, tangy kiwi, and candy floss for the little ones. The line-up rotates with the season, so there is always something new to taste.
