  This is my go to place for gelato on Robson! Not as good as Bella gelateria of course but they have a good number of flavors and it usually hits the sweet spot. Plus there’s lots of seating and the staff is usually nice

  This is a nice Italian-style cafe in Downtown that offers a large selection of gelato and pastries. I haven’t tried any of their gelatos, but I have sampled some of their house-made pastries (Pistachio Cannoli, Chocolate Ganache Cheesecake, Chocolate Temptation Cake and Almond Croissant) and have found them to be very well made with good quality ingredients. The staff is very friendly. I do find the prices of some of their desserts to be a bit steep (a small slice of cake currently runs for $6-$7). Otherwise, it is definitely a nice spot for some Italian treats and ice cream (they also have a gorgeous selection of ice cream cakes too).Pistachio Cannoli ($3.60):3.5/5This consisted of a shell that’s filled with (what I think is) ricotta and studded with some crushed pistachios at the ends. Although the shell was a tad soggy, the filling was quite delicious: thick, creamy, mildly sweet with a really nice fragrance (possibly lemon).Chocolate Ganache Cheesecake ($6.15):4.5/5This consisted of a layer of cake/brownie topped with a thick layer of cheesecake and covered with crumbled bits of chocolate cake on top. The cheesecake was firm (which is how I like it) yet creamy, with a nice tang. The cake/brownie crust was rich and fudgy. Definitely one of the better cheesecakes that I’ve had.Chocolate Temptation Cake ($7.05):4/5This consisted of chocoalte mousse sandwiched between layers of cake/wafer and covered in a chocolate ganache. The mousse was soft, smooth and creamy while the cake/wafer was moist and fragrant (I think there might be some hazelnut flavour), with a nice crispy texture at the bottom. The dessert is on the sweeter side, but I personally really enjoyed it.Almond Croissant ($4.65):N/AI didn’t eat this, I gave it to my mom, who loves double-baked croissants, but is too much of a cheap Asian to spend the $4-5 on buying on herself. She really enjoyed it, so it’s a big thumbs up from her.

  As a lover of gelato I am in the process of trying as many gelato cafs as Vancouver offers. This D’oro is located on Robson St., and both the prices and the dcor reflect this.The Caf is beautifully decorated with an upscale and high class ambience. Despite a rather awkward shape for a food service location, there is a reasonable amount of seating.The staff was very friendly and gave us time to choose from the selection of just over thirty flavours. We paid and they brought our gelato right to the table.The price was fairly high, and for two two-scoop bowls we paid about fourteen dollars. It was flavorful but fairly average in quality. I will certainly return again though if I have a craving and am in the neighborhood.Ambience: 5/5Staff: 5/5Quality: 4/5Value: 3/5
