Dolce Salato Pizza Pasta and Gelato

Dolce Salato is a beloved family-run Italian spot right on Wilton Drive, in the heart of Wilton Manors, America's gayborhood by the sea, surrounded by the district's gay bars and clubs. Run by the Baldi family from Piedmont in northern Italy, it turns out what regulars swear is the best true Italian pizza in South Florida, dough proofed up to 48 hours and baked to a perfectly thin, crisp-chewy crust, alongside fresh homemade pasta and gnocchi, and a case of exceptional house-churned gelato that's a must after dinner. Small, casual, and famously friendly, with a few coveted sidewalk tables for watching the Drive go by, it's a longtime local favorite and an easy, tasty stop before or after a night out in the gayborhood.
