La Dolce Vita Trattoria

What the shorter question is what not to recommend. My friends and family, this is hands down an excellent establishment. Not a food chain or what not, no. This place serves you authentic food, I mean delicious fresh ingredients. Great wines, or if that’s not your taste, excellent tea fresh chilled water, or whatever you might prefer. The staff is so amazing and go above and beyond. The scenery and atmosphere is incredible. The plating and how they got all the attention to details, this is a gem you have to see. Visiting or local, you can’t pass this place up.

Food was excellent a little pricey. We both ordered a fish dish. The fish was a little too cold, it should have been served warm not cold since we were the only customers in the place.

This is an absolute gem in Palm Harbor. Having been to numerous Italian eateries all over the US this one places right up there. There is a seating area outside that is very pleasant but we were seated inside and served by a delightful young lady. Restaurant appears family owned as all the servers had accents, molto bene 😉
I did not give a 5 to the atmosphere as there was a singing guitarist whom I felt was annoying, sorry guys, I sing much better and in 4 different languages as well 😀
The food is what we really came for and it was amazing, tasty, and nicely presented. Granted, it took time for it to be served but it was well worth it. We rarely dine out, having owned a restaurant and being savvy cooks but this place will become our number one to go out and eat. Unlike many other restaurants, this one IS CLEAN !!! Menu came with quite a good selection. Thank you Rudy, we thoroughly enjoyed it and we will see you again.

Last yr I spent my birthday in Italy and desperately wanted some truly authentic Italian food. I loved the menu with some of my fave "old school" foods.It did not disappoint. The scallopine, pasta Bolognese were superb!! My grandson had tiramisu freshly made to die for. The service was great as he shared where they are from..Torino my sons fave town in Italy and recommended little gems to visit. I am thrilled to have such a perfect place 5 minutes from my home. It will help with my many moments of missing Italian cuisine! Gracie!
