Restaurant Description

*This restaurant has closed. If this restaurant is open or has reopened, just let us know.

Roba!Dolce started in Providence, Rhode Island with the dream of creating the finest authentic Italian gelato in the New World. Their sorbettos and gelatos are handcrafted using imported, small batch, specialized Italian equipment, and never mass-produced. Using authentic recipes and Italian flavors, their methods follow the artisinal approach of Florentine gelato masters. The result is a dessert which, with its vibrant color, it's smooth, creamy texture, and its full flavor, will take you back to that romantic evening in Venice.

Roba Dolce donated their gelato and sorbetto to a memorial that I had for my nephew who passed away, let me tell you if was so good, I had never heard of them before, but from now on I will eat this instead of ice cream.

Delicious gelato, but what happened to their shop on Thayer Street? It has been boarded up for a while now! Does anyone know if they have given up on this shop and are just working on wholesale gelato?

Overpriced sandwiches and what?! you want to charge me more just to use a credit card?

The sandwiches were very thin with very little meat. 2 sandwiches and 2 sodas came to over $21 (Should've spent $5 more and gotten a decent meal at paragon). Wanted to charge me an extra $0.75 to use my credit card on top of inflated prices (talk about tax evasion). Then the man behind the counter rudely explained to me that they have to charge extra for credit cards to keep their costs "low." He says the same meal would've cost $50 elsewhere. Over priced food, bad service, and lack of quality. I dont' think their business model will survive for long. NOT RECOMMENDED

I think the sandwiches are very tasty, but thin. I had to ask them to put more tomatoes on the sandwich because there was only one slice and one slice of salami on each half. For $7.50, the sandwich should have been more stuffed without my having to say something. They could add a pickle to the side too.

Overpriced food and horrible service. Just because they have an italian accent does't mean they're warm and friendly! The coffee is good, but it's on thayer street so there are plenty of other good coffee places! I would not recommend roba dolce.

The food is cheaper than ABP, and the staff if pretty darn friendly. They seem more like a family, than a team of people just getting paid to do a job.

A local grown company and a privately owned cafe.
