La Dolce Vita Gelato & Pastry 6146 SW State Rd 200, Ocala Ice Cream Shop • $

“The best we have ever had!!!! The gelato is equivalent or better than any gelato we have had in Italy, Switzerland, or Germany. We would share our favorite flavor, but that changes every time we go, as the owner only uses the freshest seasonal ingredients. Let's just say we can't find a flavor we don't like. Today a shout out for the grapefruit, amaretto, biscotti, cannoli, coffee, and chocolate gelato. My husband is the biggest coffee snob I know. He spends hours weekly ordering the best beans, roasting them, and pulling shots of espresso. It is rare that we go out for coffee and we can say the coffee is good. This owner knows how to pull a good shot of espresso!”

Diane was the enthusiastic voice on the phone when making reservations for six for the Sunday brunch. She was the delightfully welcoming hostess when the party arrived. George, as other reviews have attested, was flawless: engaging, attentive, approaching his tasks as a performing art...terrific! Freddy Lopez, the manager, took great pride in the staff and offerings from the kitchen. He described changes soon to be made. The name will be something like "Marketplace Kitchen and Bar", an unfortunate image of an older shopper with shopping bags full of groceries sitting nursing a beer at the bar. Food was very good, although NOTHING except the salad dressings had labels. Individuals will allergies would need ask or simply avoid any item which was not entirely identifiable. Indeed a hotel pan of Creole fish could not be identified by two members on the line. It was Mr. Lopez who solved the mystery.”

The staff is wonderful—very friendly and welcoming. Our server (Ashley) was extremely knowledgeable about the entire menu, which made ordering easy and enjoyable. The food came out fast and hot, and everything was perfectly prepared. We will definitely be recommending Franco’s and will be back again!”

“Exquisite. I had the Mango Pineapple Chicken and the flavors were perfectly blended. The BLT was huge with the best bread you could imagine. For dessert the peach ginger pie, again perfect and not so sweet so you could actually taste the peaches and ginger blended together. I wasn't just amazed but totally blown away by how good Primary Tavern is. I would recommend whole heartedly.”
