Casa Del Dolce joins our Little Italy
If you can smell the wafting aroma of olive trees, olive oil and limoncello on an evening stroll – or passagiata – down Rokeby Road it’s not just because we are channeling our namesake, the quaint town in Lazio, Italy, Subiaco was named after.
It’s more to do with the proliferation of Italian businesses up and down this busy little strip – from bars, to shoes, to trattorias, to gelato shops. The latest to join the gang is Casa Del Dolce, a house of sweets which fits into the streetscape like a Vespa on Piazza Navona.
Teresa Strangio is the incredible tour de force behind the popular Lake Street venue where she established a huge following for her cannoli.
She recently took over the old Sen Viet eatery and is now wowing customers with her jaw-dropping special occasion cakes along with black forest logs, vanilla slices and Italian biscuits.
A 10-storey wedding cake? Sure, why not. How about a six-tier torta caprese with Nutella custard soft buttercream finished with fresh flowers. No problem.
Check them out. It might just make you want to put a ring on someone’s finger.
