About D’oro

D’oro started back some 20 years ago as Mondo Gelato as a “Gelateria”, a place that serves primarily gelato and sorbetto. Pino Bacinello and Kristina Sonney purchased the two locations in 2014 with the concept of converting them to a true Italian Café. In Italy they are referred to as “Cafeteria, Gelateria, Pasticceria e Bar”. Translated (Coffee shop, gelato shop, pastry shop and bar)

Today, D’oro is just that! A true Italian café/bar where one can indulge in sweet deserts, the creamiest handmade artisan gelatos, (sorbettos available for the nondairy). You can sit down and have a breakfast, lunch or dinner panino with a glass of wine and a lovely soup on a cold and rainy Vancouver evening, or a fresh crispy salad in the summer. Of course, one can also start the day off with a cappuccino, espresso or affogato. Or, come for a mid-day “Café Corretto” and do as the Italians do which is enjoy life!

Whether you need a wake me up shot in the morning, accompanied by a beautiful Italian made in house pastry, or perhaps a mid-day panino with a glass of vino Bianco or Rosso, it’s there for you to enjoy. Follow it up with a scoop of gelato or a traditional biscotto with an espresso macchiato. You can finish the day off right with an Italian specialty drink, perhaps a Negroni cocktail, Aperol Spritz, or Miss K accompanied with a little “Spuntino”  which is a  snack in Italian at no extra cost…just like they do in Italy. This is all done in a modern yet traditional Italian atmosphere under a soft shower of Italian melodies.
