We love this place and swing by every other weekend. Best Italian food you'll find, like your nonna cooked it. Vegetarian and vegan friendly, their croissants are seriously to die for

I feel like I just had a real cannoli for the first time here, and all previous cannoli were shameful imposters. They fill the cannoli shell to order here and the result is incredibly fresh and has wonderful textures. Go there right now and get one!

I am so happy I discovered this place. It is definitely a hidden gem, and super underrated. With how delicious these pastries work, I would imagine that they would be packed or sold out all the time. The pastries are made fresh, as you order them. So the pastries are not sitting out premade, like you usually see at a bakery. These are made to order.The service was quick, and I felt like I was back in Italy. The café is very cute and quaint, and definitely gives me Italian vibes. I didn't ask further, but it seems like it's a family run business, so always a great idea to support.This should definitely be on a must try list for best Italian pastries in the Bay Area
Our family group of 14 do a cannoli tasting every year. We rent a party bus and make our way to 3 different locations to see who has the best cannolis in town. Dolce Sicilia made the top of the list this year! Their cannolis were very smooth, flavorful, had a nice shell and topped on both ends with crushed pistachios. We added a lovely rich espresso and it was perfect. Several in our group couldn't resist the Gelato. The mint chocolate chip was amazing, the mint was not overpowering. We will definitely be back and are curious to see if they can hold the title next year. Grazie!!!

Really authentic . Loved the coffee, gnocchi and croissant. The cheesecakes were good too. Good portions on the pasta and quick service, croissants baked fresh after ordering. Good quality and worth the money!

The pistachio cannolo (pl. cannoli) here is actually made right (yeah I'm gatekeeping; shame on those who put an ungodly amount of sugar in cannoli filling!) and the cookies that I tried (tea biscotti, paste di mandorla, apricot occhi di bue, and cigni biscotti) are scrumptiously crispy and not overly sweet at all.Why the 3 stars then? Service. The man at the cashier who seemed bothered from when I arrived at the shop had a thick Italian accent and spoke really fast. I asked him to repeat something he said since I couldn't understand him and he standoffishly just repeated the same thing at the same speed. I felt like to him I was an ungrateful "tourist"......and I'm not even in Italy! Haha. The lady who came out of the kitchen to hand me the cannolo that I ordered was very polite though (I think she's one of the bakers if not the main baker here).Eh, I was going to say that the cookies would make a fantastic gift (while the cannolo would be a nice treat for yourself!), but I don't know.....obtaining those items would require setting foot here and I'm not really eager to visit this place again myself.
