Dolcino - Loughborough

They no longer offer any gluten-free products except for ice cream, which is disappointing.

The gluten-free pancakes at this restaurant are amazing, and they always provide excellent service for those with dietary restrictions.

Best place in town for ice cream and coffee. I tried the waffle and it was fab. Quirky setting, comfy booths. I recommend it to my friends.

Dolcinos was recommended by the person I was meeting, and I was at first excited by the sweets, and took my time choosing. The milkshakes looked tempting but I chose the lemon sorbet which unfortunately had the consistency of snot. I am not sure if it had melted and been refrozen; it was unpleasant. The person I met offered me part of a mini-cannoli. I had been suspicious of them as they were prefilled and the place had not even bothered to remove them from the shrink wrap and cardboard that made me think they had come from Costco. Cannoli should be filled just before serving, that day at the earliest. If there was ricotta in it, it was hard to tell. It seemed like sweetened concrete. Worst of all were the toilets, looked and smelled like someone had urinated on the floor and loo roll was everywhere. Best part, the staff were friendly, and there is free water available. It was not worth taking photos.

Staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. Coffee was very good will go again soon to try their food as such a nice relaxed environment!
