An Italian-style café is set to open soon in the heart of downtown New Canaan. ‘Dolce,’ as it will be called, will be located at 98 Elm St. and will offer specialty coffees—espresso, cappuccino, latte, mocha, Americano—in different flavors, as well as sandwiches, salads, Italian gelato, pastries, desserts, croissants, cookies and scones, owner Andrea Lombardi said. “I’m very excited,” he told NewCanaanite.com. “I can’t wait.”

An early-May opening date is planned, according to the Italian-born Lombardi, a native of Ischia, an island in the Gulf of Naples.
