Transported to Italy in Palm Harbor, FL! We had our post church wedding ceremony here for a group of 40 family & friends - and WOW were we impressed! The food was exceptional and the service was impeccable. They also beautifully decorated the outside dining area for us and set up the tables so nicely. It was a night my husband and I will never forget!

This place was over priced for the portion sizes.The food had good flavor. Extremely small portions especially the pasta.The wine by glass selection is terrible. House wine only. No name or brand only varietal listed.3 pasta dishes including buttered noodles for $10 are all that is offered for the kids menu.

The food was superb and the service perfection. What a wonderful find this restaurant is. We will certainly return to try more of their very authentic menu. Update: We returned to try the outdoor section. Once again we were blown away by the fabulous service and wonderful food. This time we started with the charcuterie for two and there was plenty for the five of us. I had the amazing Cod Alla Mediterannea with roasted vegetables and no pasta so that I could save some room for Luigi's Tiramasu, Glad I did. Everything was superb.
This little gem in a small strip mall on US Alt-19 in Palm Harbor is worth a visit. It's only been open since Dec 2022, but clearly has a following.I had a delicious gnocchi, a test of any good Italian restaurant. My wife had the caprese salad - marvelous.We'll be back for more!

While the food was excellent, it was the service that made the night. The place is the same as the pho restaurant that was there previously and it's a little tight inside but the place is nicely appointed. Plus, they've added a nice outside area that looks quaint and comfortable. The food was very good. My lobster bisque could've had a little more lobster but I bet everyone says that. I also got the chicken piccata which was delicious... nicely cooked and seasoned. Overall we enjoyed our visit and can't wait to go back ?.

A new Italian king in town! Look no further this is the place to eat the real deal. Everything we had from the octopus entree to nocchi, pasta and the delicious desserts was superb and with the real Italian flare. The service was wonderful and spot on, large selection of wines to match anything you eat. Don't miss the chance this is what real Italian does taste, by the way make sure to make a reservation the place is always packed specially on the weekends.

Mediocre, bland food and atmosphere. Overpriced; pasta wasn’t even fresh.

I don't usually go to Italian restaurants. My mom does the best. I went to Trattoria La Dolce Vita for the first time with neighbors and had to go back. Excellent service, excellent food. Friendly staff, when the owner handles the food how bad can it be. We will return.
