My name is Alessandra and I’m the owner of Dolce Vici. Dolce Vici is kind of a way of saying Guilty Pleasures in Italy and this is the way we do our things here because we really really really love Italian food and we are passionate about the Italian food culture. So I came to China to actually do this, to bring my family recipes here in Shanghai and because I feel there is room for good Italian quality products. In fact we import most of the ingredients and we make everything homemade, especially our ice-cream. We have our ingredients come from Italy, the machine is from Italy and I’m from Italy so it’s really really traditional ice-cream. But like Lily said, our coffee is incredible, we don’t compromise and we don’t make any strange names, we just, you know, it’s just pure Italian coffee and that’s what you get if you come here. If you feel like you want to have some traditional coffee then this is the place where you should go and yeh, so if you visit me and say “Italian coffee rocks”, you will get a free coffee with any purchase of a set lunch.  

我的名字是爱里，我是Dolci Vizi的店长，Dolci Vizi就是在意大利说这是我“罪恶的快乐”的意思，因为意大利人真的很热衷自己国家的美食和意大利的饮食文化。我把我们家的祖传的食谱带到上海是因为我觉得这里仍然有许多意大利精品可以成长的空间。事实上，我进口了许多意大利的原料，而且还亲手做了很多东西，尤其是我们的冰激凌。就像Lily说的，我们的意大利咖啡真的是无与伦比。而且我们不会偷工减料也不会取一些奇怪的名字。你来了就是喝最纯粹的意大利咖啡。如果你想要喝意大利的传统咖啡的话，这里就是你该来的地方。如果你来这里看我，点一份主食，并说“意大利咖啡好赞”，我就会给你一杯免费的咖啡！  

What does Dolce Vizi mean?  Dolce Vizi是什么意思呢？ 

It means sweet vices and it just means basically if you really, for example if you really like chocolate, you want to eat a lot of chocolate or if you really like some ice-cream and you really want to eat it or if you like coffee and you know, this is a way of, you know, introducing yourself or finding an excuse to have what you like.

很甜又不好的东西，就好像巧克力。比如说你喜欢巧克力、冰激凌或是咖啡，但是这个又是一个机会可以让你找借口去吃喜欢的东西。

Have you been to Italy? 你去过意大利吗？

I went to Rome on honeymoon. 我去罗马度蜜月。
