ASHLAND Jules Remenar says his wife, Sam Amenta-Stavar, brought a little bit of Argentina to MetroWest when they opened Dulce D Leche in Framingham in 2016.
The restaurant’s signature dish is its gelato. While growing up in Argentina, Amenta-Stavar would often enjoy the dessert, and she wanted to bring it to the area.
What started as a simple desire to start a gelato business grew into a full-fledged café and bakery spanning two locations, dozens of menu items, a spot at the Ashland Farmers Market and numerous vendor partnerships.
Remenar and Amenta-Stavar became key players in the MetroWest restaurant scene. Their products were lauded as being of the highest quality, as was their reputation as community business owners.
