Dolce Mare

Got several treats here as gifts - I appreciate the wide selection but the treats were bad. We just threw out the fruit candies cause they have a weird chemically aftertaste. And the brittle was just alright.

Dolce Mare is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with the heavenly smell of chocolate, candy, and fresh gelato… and then you realize they also have WINE. That’s when you know you’re in the right place. Family-owned and operated, you can feel the love in every detail. Michelle is basically the Martha Stewart of Marco Island — everything she touches is stunning, delicious, and done with class. If you get the chance, do not miss their wine tastings. They’re fun, informative, and honestly outstanding on all levels. Whether you’re grabbing incredible gelato, picking up chocolate gifts, or sipping a great bottle of wine, this spot is a must-visit if you’re anywhere near Marco Island.

Beautiful, cozy, and inviting family-run dessert center in a charming and relaxed setting, Marco Island's place to go for memorable desserts, candy, accompanied by an espresso, cappuccino, or a fine wine, champagne, prosecco. Say "Hi" to Michelle and Dave who recently made a family trip to Italy to hone their crafts!

We had had amazing gelato in downtown Naples the night before so we thought we would give this place a try on Marco last Friday night. To be fair, the prior night's experience may have tainted our ability to be unbiased here, but based on the line leading into the shop, we were ready for another delicious dessert experience. Unfortunately, it fell flat for us. While a large board on the back wall listed a large variety of flavors, just a fraction were available the night we were there. We all felt the flavors of the gelatos we chose were lackluster. The sample I was given of the Dubai Chocolate gelato was really good (served from the top where the pistachio and kataifi were spread) however, my actual dish had barely a sprinkle of the topping and could have been a regular chocolate dish as

Even better than the amazing gelato is the hospitality of Dave and Michelle. They will make you feel right at home. They are very welcoming. Amazing/impressive wide selection of gelatos and desserts. The actual shop is also super cute! Delicious dairy-free options as well. Must visit !
