Best cookies we have had in ages! I am putting in a second order and will be a steady customer. The family fought over the soft cookies. We need more! Delicious.

Hi each piece is individually wrapped…
Hi each piece is individually wrapped which keeps it fresh. I was surprised how fresh they were. I definitely would buy this product again and tell my friends and family.

Thank you so much, Nicole! ❤️ We’re so happy to hear how fresh the cookies were when you received them. The individual wrapping helps us preserve that freshness, and we truly appreciate you recommending us to your friends and family. Thank you for your support! 🇮🇹✨

The assorted Pasticceria butter cookies…
The assorted Pasticceria butter cookies are delicious, but I was disappointed once I received them that one of the ingredients included glucose-fructose syrup, an unhealthy “sugar”. It’s my fault in that I did not check the ingredients prior to purchasing, as I figured all the ingredients would be clean coming from Italy.
Response from Dolci Aveja USSep 2, 2026
Thank you for your feedback, Dawn. We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the cookies, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to try our products and share your thoughts with us. We understand that ingredient preferences can be very personal, and we respect your perspective.
We’re proud of the traditional recipes and carefully selected ingredients we use, and feedback like yours is very important to us as we continue to grow and improve. We always encourage our customers to review the full ingredient list so they can choose the products that best fit their preferences.
Thank you again for giving Dolci Aveja a try and for sharing your experience with us. ❤️

Products were good.
The cookies were very nice. I chose a variety, and have been pleased. I have not finished all of the cookies, as yet.

Disappointed
I received my third order of these cookies on March 9. I had gotten four boxes of Pasticceria and two of Amaretti. As I unpacked the order and was putting them away in my pantry, I noticed through the cellophane window that one box of Pasticceria was not filled all the way as the other three were and felt lighter then the others. Upon further inspection I also noticed that the cookie boxes were only sealed on one end, unlike past shipments. Also through the cellophane window in the Amaretti cookies I could see that a cookie covered in chocolate was turning white. In my correspondence with the American representative I was told basically not to worry about it . I didn’t open the Amaretti until three days later and they are all as hard as a rock. Even the hazelnut which are usually so delicious and chewy are visibly shriveled up and inedible. The response has been patronizing and apparently my expectations are unrealistic. I am asking for a replacement for the two boxes of Amaretti and I would like a response from the company’s headquarters not the representative here in the states.

Julie,
We are disappointed to see this review after a full week of direct communication with our team, during which we responded promptly to every one of your emails — including over the weekend — in an effort to address each of your concerns in detail. Despite all our efforts to provide you with the best service, you have been rude to our customer service team and claimed that we were misleading you in our responses. We want to clarify a few key points.
As you stated, this was your third order in less than two months, and as you also mentioned — thank you for confirming — “our products are delicious.” We appreciated your repeat business and included a complimentary product as a courtesy.
Your order was placed at 2:13 a.m. and shipped before 11:00 a.m. the same day, reflecting the speed and care we provide with every order.
You selected Priority shipping, and the package was delayed by the carrier over the weekend — completely outside of our control. You first contacted us Saturday night and stated that if the package did not arrive by Monday, you would not order again from us. We replied immediately over the weekend, monitored the shipment, and issued a partial refund as a courtesy.
In addition, the expedited shipping charge remains unpaid due to a payment processing issue, which we chose not to pursue as a goodwill gesture.
Your review omits several important facts:
All products are sold by net weight, not by number of cookies. Because they are handmade, sizes vary. The guaranteed measure is the total weight, not the piece count. We explained this to you clearly. The guaranteed measure is the weight, not the number of pieces.
Packaging: We transitioned to individually wrapped cookies to better protect freshness. An exterior seal is no longer always required. A missing edge seal is a minor packing imperfection, not evidence of tampering.
Batch code: Your previous order was placed less than three weeks earlier, so both shipments came from the same batch. Our products are made without preservatives, so a shorter shelf life is expected and part of our quality standard.
Chocolate appearance: The discoloration you mentioned is a natural effect called chocolate bloom, which can occur with temperature changes during transit — especially with a weekend delay. It does not affect safety or quality.
Storage claim: You suggested improper storage due to Florida humidity. This is incorrect. Our products are stored in a climate-controlled, FDA-registered facility. If this were a storage issue, it would have affected your previous orders as well, which it did not.
What is especially disappointing is that despite:
our prompt responses all week,
our weekend replies,
the complimentary product included in your order,
the partial refund issued as a courtesy,
and our decision not to pursue the unpaid expedited shipping charge,
you still escalated the matter publicly and continued to make claims that do not accurately reflect either the product or the service you received.
Lastly, we want to remind you that you began this correspondence by stating that if your order did not arrive on your expected day, you would never order from us again. From the beginning, your communication has been consistently hostile. You received discounted pricing, a partial refund, complimentary products, and you did not pay for the expedited shipping — yet you are now demanding a full replacement of two boxes based on the appearance of a small portion of the product.
We take great pride in our products, our service, and the way we treat our customers. We always strive to resolve concerns fairly and professionally. In this case, despite extensive efforts on our side, that was not possible.
At this point, it is clear that we are not able to meet your unrealistic expectations. We are closing this case here, and for that reason, we will not accept future orders under your account.
