From Italy, with Love – Pizza, Pasta, Gelato & More
La Dolce Vita brings the soul of Southern Italy to Waiheke Island. Chef Gianni and Lauren—partners in life and in the kitchen—draw on a decade spent together on their organic farm in South Italy, where good food, sustainability, and family were at the heart of everything.
Now serving up traditional Italian favourites made from scratch, their menu features hand-rolled pasta, wood-fired pizza, fresh seasonal salads, rich espresso, and house-made gelato. Every dish is made with carefully sourced ingredients and a generous pinch of passion.
Whether you're stopping in for a coffee, a scoop of gelato, or a take away pizza, La Dolce Vita offers an authentic taste of Italy—right here on Waiheke.
Address: 30 Belgium St, Ostend, Waiheke Island
