Absolutely loved Via Dolce in Canberra! The desserts were amazing and the variety is incredible — there’s truly something for everyone, no matter what you’re craving. From classic favourites to indulgent treats, it’s a dessert lover’s paradise. They also offer great savoury options like pizzas and pasta, which makes it perfect even if not everyone is there just for sweets. My personal favourites were the mango pistachio cake, the sticky date pudding, and the tiramisu — each one was rich, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. What really makes the place special is the owner — such a sweetheart and always greeting everyone with a warm smile. The friendly service and welcoming vibe make the experience even better. Highly recommend visiting Via Dolce! 🍰✨

The food is quite decent albeit on the expensive side, justified by its location nearby pretty much everything you need in the city. We ordered the Via Dolce Special and Prosciutto Pizzas with some Bruschetta as our Entree. The Bruschetta was alright, it wasn't anything to write home about but it wasn't terrible. The Via Dolce Special was a vivid mix of savoury flavours, savoury sweet, meaty and just enough saltiness from the anchovies. The Prosciutto pizza was similar in that regard minus the vegetables and anchovies. The tiramisu we had was astounding in taste, texture and presentation. Exceptional service from the gentlemen who served us.

We had such a wonderful time. We are from Sydney and I have to say , this is the best Italian food we have had. My desire is to visit Italy one day and I actually mentioned to the manager/ owner that I imagine this is what it would be like to go to Italy. I almost feel like don’t need to go lol. The food is amazing from my ravioli to my husbands pasta dish and my sons pizza dish. Then there is dessert. I had to bring back some to Sydney and my dad said it’s the best tiramisu he has ever had. Highly recommend going here in you’re in Canberra. Also customer service was great as well from all the staff ;) shout out to the amazing chefs .

A must visit if you like Italian food. We walked in and had food in front of us within 15 minutes despite how busy they were at the time. The woodfired pizza was fantastic, we had the prosciutto, and the ravioli was great. We also indulged and had some of the fantastic pastries and cakes for dessert. The atmosphere is wonderful and the presentation of the food and the care of the wait staff in serving our meals was great. We will visit again on our next trip!
