Recently had an event here for my daughter’s 1st birthday. Everything seemed okay when I booked. I will say it was on the more affordable end if you’re looking to have an event (depending on what package you go with). It was frustrating to only be able to communicate with the “event planner” aka owner via email. I called once to ask a simple question and got rudely told they’re too busy and I can only ask via email. Which is tough when you’re waiting sometimes a week to get an answer. Arrived to the restaurant the minute we were allowed to be there the day of. Thank god because the “event planner” was nowhere to be found, never introduced herself, never gave us any direction, never really helped us. No one even spoke to me unless I left to bother an employee for help. Thank god for Steven who assisted with getting us extra tables we needed and giving us some sort of direction on how things were gonna go. This is my own fault for not seeing the restaurant before booking, but the space we had for 60 people was TIGHT. Like I felt terrible for squeezing all my guests in such a small space. It was honestly embarrassing. Everyone said the food was good (I tried the vodka sauce which was good, but flounder francese awful) but not everyone’s meal came out together. Four tables were done with their meal and the fifth table still didn’t have food. Definitely didn’t seem like enough staff for our 60 person party (plus another event going on). Definitely wouldn’t have another event here.

Just paid $14 for 3 ravioli from the kids menu. Didn't realize it was only 3 for that price...a bit ridiculous.

Great atmosphere, great food, waited a little long for it but it was well worth it for a wonderful family dinner. Their vodka sauce is to die for!

I came a while back for my birthday with their regular menu. I’m here today for the Mother’s Day buffet. All the food was delicious both times. The servers were all kind and did their best to keep our table clear. I’ve enjoyed every visit to Dolce Liberta so far and look toward enjoying it again in the future!

Keto for a better YOU!

This restaurant is decorated pretty but no real ambiance or any Italian feels. The service was very good and tried hard to please. While collecting dirty plates they waited and expected us to hand them them plates every time they came by. We found this to be strange. The dessert menu online did NOT match what they actually offered at the restaurant. Very disappointing. Eggplant parm was very good but eggplant was served on top of the pasta to give a large appearance and when you cut up the eggplant you were cutting your penne. The capellini primavera was very good but too much onion. This restaurant was very loud and difficult to hear the live singer. They definitely have good potential with a few tweaks. For now we will avoid returning to dine here. Too many competitors doing it better.
