One of the best meals we have had at Dolce Vita and we have been dining there for over 20 years! We both had the Caesar salad; fresh, great dressing and shaves of parmigiana. I had the Linguine frutti di mare, fresh pasta and lots of fresh seafood.. delicious! My husband had Penne Arrabiatta with shrimp; just the right amount of heat, great marinara sauce and perfectly cooked shrimp. Our server is always Jose as we always request him! He has been with the restaurant for many years; knows the menu, wine list , and is just a wonderful person! We had a great evening!

A fantastic dining experience! The food and drinks hands down delicious. Dined outside with a dear friend. The service made the experience Emma, thank you for the great recommendations and fir taking the great pics! Romano we will see you a Wednesday Wines. Location is great & they also offer take out!

As usual, the food was delicious and the service was outstanding.

Lovely place, service was wonderful! We had the wine flight specials and it was perfect!

Tried Dolce Vita based on being invited to a party that was held there. Made arrangements to go back the next week with friends because the Italian food was so delicious and authentic. The calamari, bruschetta, and "The Fig and Pig" pizza are just a few of the food items I would recommend. The setting is nice and intimate and their brick oven is a work of art.

One of the best meals I have has in a long time! The atmosphere was great as well as the service! We definitely will be back!

Server was very knowledgeable. Perfect for family get together!

A/C was out in main building so we were next door. Service was not what we expected. Food outstanding but ambiance not so nice.

Seating setup was a little strange. Service was not good at all. We did not know where our server was most of the time and we waited a long time for our food. However, the food was delicious.

This was the first time I had been back to dolce vita since the pandemic. I have been going there for over 20 years. They definitely need to do something about the lack of air conditioning in the main dining room, they were seating everyone in the wine tasting room because it was so warm in their dining room. The food was not as enticing as I once remember it, perhaps a new chef. I will give it a try again, however it’s not at the top of my list.
