  “La Dolce Vita in Ruislip is a little gem for ice cream lovers. The ice cream is exceptionally creamy, rich, and full of flavour. I tried the Rose and Pistachio, as well as the Ricotta and Fig flavours, and both were absolutely delicious. The flavours were intense, authentic, and perfectly balanced, making every bite a real treat. The quality of the ingredients really stands out, and you can taste the care that goes into every scoop. If you’re looking for unique and memorable gelato flavours, I would highly recommend La Dolce Vita. A wonderful experience and definitely worth a visit! 🫶🇮🇹🍦🍧💙”

  “Honestly I highly recommend this ice cream place. The best place to go with your groups of friends/friendly for desserts, and the owners is such a sweet person been going here for years and it only gets better. There’s a lot flavours of ice cream to pick from you will always be spoiled for choice. And if you don’t want ice creams you could always have cheese cakes/ good Italian coffee.”

  “We have been going to Dolce Vitae for years, and the ice cream is great. However, I had a bad experience yesterday 1 Jan, with I think he is the owner. A milkshake cost £6.50, and I gave him a £20 note but he gave me back only £3.50 as change and rushed off to the back. When I asked him how much the milkshake was, and that I had given him £20, he casually agreed I had given him £20 and returned another £10. My friend said the same thing had happened to her last time she was there and had bought quite a few ice creams, she was short changed £5 but didn’t bother going back as she only realised this when she reached home and recalculated. Not to say the man is dishonest, but be careful with the change you are given as it has happened more than once. Hi Krishna, if the milkshake was £7.50, then I have been wrongly charged £6.50, and owe you £1. As I mentioned, not to say the man was dishonest, but because it happened twice to us, I would like to bring to people’s attention that they should check their change. I have deducted a star each for the twice that we were shortchanged, and deducted a further star for not having received an apology for the mistake made, but casually fobbed off as if it was a normal practice. We will be visiting again for the ice cream but will be vigilant about any change.”

  “Original review November 2025: We love La Dolce Vita. La Dolce Vita is an outstanding Ice Cream shop in every way. This is such a lovely addition to Ruislip High Street. The customer service is excellent,the staff are really friendly. They also have many gluten free Ice Cream flavours too. They also do gluten free Ice Cream cones and gluten free Cannoli too. I went for four mini scoops of Ice Cream. It was great ordering the mini scoops because there was a satisfying amount of Ice Cream in one scoop but there were loads of flavours. The first scoop of Ice Cream I went for was the Salted Caramel Ice Cream,that was delicious and had a lovely flavour. The second scoop of Ice Cream I went for was the Saffron Ice Cream which had a great flavour too. The third scoop of Ice Cream was the Rose and Pistachio scoop which was delicious,both the Rose and Pistachio went really well together. My favourite scoop was the fourth scoop of the Ice Cream which was the Black Hawaii Ice Cream scoop which was delicious and had an amazing flavour. I enjoyed the Black Hawaii Ice Cream scoop so much I got a Black Hawaii Ice Cream Milkshake in a regular size afterwards which was delicious. The milkshake was perfect,it had just the right thickness and it was a really authentic Ice Cream Milkshake. They also sell other desserts such as a Banana Split and very tempting Ice Cream Cakes. They have 36 Ice Cream flavours on offer here. All the Ice Cream flavours were beautifully presented. I love this Ice Cream shop so much. I would definitely recommend everything that I had today. See you soon! Edited review- January 2026: La Dolce Vita is the best Ice Cream shop in the area. The staff member interacting with us was super helpful and friendly. They went out of their way and made me feel special. I got myself a scoop of the Black Hawaii Sorbet which was delicious. I could taste the love and care that has gone into making the Ice Cream in every bite. They also have gluten free cones and gluten free ice cream flavours available. The Ice Creams also are appealing to the eye as well! I love La Dolce Vita in Ruislip, it’s such a great Ice Cream shop.”

  “La Dolce Vita has become a staple spot within my friends and family, I cannot count the amount of times I’ve visited in the past year, let alone the past 3 since I discovered this hidden gem. The family that own the shop are so lovely, and all the staff are always happy to have a little chat. The flavours are what have drawn me back to this gelato store, seasonal flavours and a constantly changing rotation always mean I’m trying something new with each visit! The quality of gelato is spectacular too, and you can see that each flavour is made with so much thought and care behind each component. I truly recommend this store to anyone looking for a quality gelato in London❤️❤️”
