Atmosphere was nice but the food was not great and the service was very poor. We ordered Redfish and shrimp with pasta alfredo.The sauce was good and the seasoning was good but it was all overcooked. Once we were served the Server never came back and they were not that busy. We had to ask another server to get out check for us then the original server came back. I don't think we will go back.

We were in town from Dallas. La Dolce Vida’s menu looked intriguing…what the heck, let’s give it a go. We were lucky enough to sit in Ava’s section. She was attentive while not being intrusive. We ordered an appetizer of sausage in marinara, but they had sold out of the sausage earlier. The chef, Israel, personally came out to apologize (class act). Instead we got the marinated crab claws…tangy, lemony, garlicky, buttery. Man was it good. A bottle of Chianti along with our entrees of Mahi New Orleans and redfish Giovani began an evening of romance(yowza!!) Give it a shot you won’t be disappointed.

Just had a DELICIOUS hand made Italian meal at this hidden gem of a restaurant in Bossier City. Anyone who wants to venture out for some great change from the norm, come see them at the Airline Center shopping center. The owners are wonderful (and the Chef). They can also accommodate large gatherings and parties.

We have been twice. The food was great.

I’ll start off by saying the food was very good. Full of depth and well balanced flavor. I would return for that alone.
The atmosphere was cozy a true home styling but the circulation and temperature led to much discomfort. In short, stuffy and hot.
My service was okay. It was mostly 3/4 empty but I was sat way in the back by the closet. My server brought my drinks right away but bread service and taking my order took awhile. Which was fine since I had a glass of wine to sip on. When they did come with bread and took my order, they apologized for the delay. Afterwards becoming hyper attentive which made me feel as though they were rushing to get me out of the door.
Probably harmlessly unintentional but when dining alone makes one feel that way.

Dining here was such an amazing experience! It is such a traditional Italian atmosphere and the food even more so! The service was amazing and the chef/owner was very friendly. I will definitely make another trip just to eat here!

The food did not taste good at all, they were out of multiple items on the menu, and a big language barrier. I spent about $30 and got a small approx 4oz piece of chicken, small bowl of pasta, and a few mushrooms. That would get me a lot more food at Lil Italiano or Notini’s.

Service was mediocre, but a large party was also dining. The minestrone had good flavor, but all the veggies were raw, like someone forgot to actually cook them in the soup. The cream sauce for the tortellini was split, and the tortellini was overcooked but not total mush. The "fresh" veal isn't. It tasted freezer burned, and the eggplant was overpowering it. The breading was soggy. This is not Italian food. This is American "Italian " food. Too much cheese, no real depth of flavor other than canned tomatoes and garlic. The minestrone clearly came from a good recipe with possibly bad execution, but that was at the start of the meal, and it isn't worth going back for.

We really enjoyed our experience at La Doche Vita. Even though we came in just 30 minutes before closing, we were taken care of. We even asked if there was a possibility for a certain type of sauce and our waitress brought out the owner/chef to see if it was possible. We explained what we wanted, and he said no problem! And it was delicious! Super sweet staff and amazing food.

Literally googled "places to eat near me" new to the area and found this adorable restaurant. I initially had planned to order to go but upon entry I was so impressed by the ambience...I stayed. It is way too cute to just grab and go. The menu reads really well. I changed my mind twice in what I wanted to order and decided on this cajun seafood ravioli dish that was EVERYTHING. The sauce was ?????? Really want to try alot more dishes on the menu. The Chef and staff were very tentative and polite. Well priced. I made a great decision coming here. Will definitely be back for date night and lunch.
