Food was ok. The quality is about what you might expect from a pizzeria. However, I was a little surprised at the seemingly small portion sizes. I ordered a Chicken Parmesan entree for takeaway and it barely filled half the tray. The look of it left me feeling the way you do when opening a bag of chips, only to find that the contents actually fill only about 1/3 of the bag... Mildly disappointed.

Wow! We were looking for something new and found Dolce on a recommendation from a friend. It was outstanding! Great service (Megan was fantastic) and everything was cooked perfectly. Great wine list too. We started with the Brussels Sprouts (sorry, no picture). My wife had the Seafood Paella and I had the Chicken Scarpiello. Finished it off with the Key Lime dessert special and Raspberry Sorbet. We are lucky to live near NYC where the restaurants have to be good to stay in business. Dolce was that good - truly an experience not to be missed.

I ate here recently at a company dinner. The eggplant Florentine was very tasty, the eggplant was not mushy and all together was very flavorful. The spaghetti served on the side was a bit more basic than I would expect from an Italian restaurant but not bad. There is a lot of parking, the servers were attentive, and there was a nice atmosphere about the place. We were sitting on the enclosed front porch area and there is a nice fireplace. I would go back to try out the full menu.

Went for [email protected]:00. They have indoor and a screened in outdoor. We sat in the out door. Very comfortable. The menu was sweet and short, with some specials. My guest ordered the soft shell crab as a meal, definitely big enough. I had a chix, spicy sausage and ravioli combination, that was fantastic!! The food was great, service was delightful, and friendly. Great atmosphere!! Definitely will try for dinner next time.

Upscale restaurant Danbury locals told us to choose when we inquired where we should dine in the area. This is when, again, half stars would be helpful for GM reviews. Dolce is 4.5 - 4.7. We were lucky on a late Monday night to have our choice of seating in the main dining room along with very attentive service, as they are crowded on popular nights and the atmosphere is different.Warm and spacious interior that mixes old and new design. The Dolce logo branded on the wood tables is a nice touch. Special menu items consisted of dishes a patron could only say yes to. From this, we ordered the Oysters Rockefeller. A different interpretation from the classic style, but still tasty with the creamed spinach dressing.Our two entrées from the main menu, Veal Milanese with arugula and Shrimp and Scallops on lemon risotto were both very good. A fine dessert menu tempted my partner into ordering his favorite Créme Brûlée. This with a Dolce coffee, sent us happily out the door.

Great food, creative drinks and fun atmosphere! Will definitely be back soon!

My wife and I went for dinner on a Sunday night, There’s an enclosed outdoor area, we sat inside which is good size nice ambiance. Our waiter was very friendly and the food was very good. Generous portions. Definitely recommend.

Went to dinner there on a Saturday night. The 6PM reservation had us seated at 6PM and then it was downhill. The short version is that the food took FOREVER. We did not leave there until after 9:15. The amount of time for each course to come out was ridiculous. What was worse is that the restaurant saw this happening and did not do anything "compensate" us. No free soft drinks. Nothing taken off of the check. No offers for coffee and or a free dessert. I ordered a basic Chicken Francaise. A nice easy dish. There was no lemon in it at all. Just sauteed chicken in butter. Bland and tasteless. Others at my table did enjoy the meal. The time spent there was way too long.

Fantastic!Delicious food, excellent ambiance, and great wine list! Loved the service!You HAVE to try this place!

My significant other and I wanted to treat ourselves to an Italian meal this past Saturday for lunch. What a treat it was! Rocco was able to kindly acomodate our disabilities while providing great service and superb food. We sincerely thank you!
