Dolce Vita, a European-style bar, gelateria and cafe in the Hyde Park neighborhood announced on its Facebook page that it will close in October after 26 years in business.

The family business, which is located at 4222 Duval St., Austin, has not yet set a closing date.

A spokesperson said the decision came as a result of increased rent and additional demands from the business' landlord; while the owner considered relocating, she found that option too costly as well.
