Waitress was slow to bring drinks etc but manager noticed and more than made up for it. Loved going to Dolce Vita for many years.
Erin was our waitress and I cannot thank her for the high professionalism she provided to us on Friday, April 25.
Wonderful meal, authentic food, very good service! Have been there 4 times and will certainly return!
our meal at Dolce Vita was exemplary, which is the norm! food , service, and ambiance were pitch perfect. whether it's a special occasion or a nice supper, Dolce Vita is consistently superb!
Went to Dolce Vita last night to celebrate my birthday with two friends. The waitress and manager were extremely accommodating in responding to multiple questions, and the food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the branzino entree. Lovely evening.
My husband and I went for a 5-course pre fixe dinner with wine pairing. They had the wine makers there and prior to each course they described each wine and how it paired with the meal. It was a really enjoyable date night.
It reminded me of the Old World feel that you get is quality restaurants outside the United States. Impeccable service from someone who knows service and the risotto was incredible!

Visited for the first time yesterday for my daughter’s birthday with her baby and 5 year old. Home made pasta delicious. Our waiter, Calvin, was so very helpful. Wish I lived closer! (I was visiting from the UK)

Wow ? my experience at this astonishing jewel ? of Italian cuisine, was nothing short of spectacular. I found the service to be thoroughly enjoyable and refreshingly comfortable in every way. An appetizer from the brick oven and a delightful plate of salmon and risotto, along with a beverage that was made ? just right… was my portion.
Enjoying my meal at the bar lent to a friendly local atmosphere an All the staff took a welcoming approach to their recommending the perfect meal. Bbe sure to include Dolce in your dining experience, you Will be very pleased! ?

Good food and service was attentive. Excellent Italian wine list with lots of options. Menu for “small bites” and other lunch options looked interesting but we ordered specials. Very inventive options. Red Risotto was very good and lasagna was a big hit.
Back at Dolce Vita for lunch after all these years. Loved the "make your own pasta" lunch option. I had homemade fettuccine with mussels and wine and garlic sauce. And a glass of wine. Mussels were perfect. Service was great. It was nice to be back.

Food: over cooked and bland. first time I've had bland pasta sauce. grilled octopus was rubbery and dry. wine took 20 minutes and was not a full pour.
Service: non-existent. bread took 15+minutes, wine 20 minutes. looks to be ran by teenagers who have had little-no training. we had to ask every time for plates to be cleared.
Atmosphere: table was in the entrance next to the line cooks and we couldn't hear anything and felt like an inconvience.
Will not go back and we do not recommend.

For some reason, the bread alone was cold and took over 15 minutes to arrive after the water. Food was okay, nothing that would stand out and would want to come back for. As for wine, I was going to order a glass of wine. However, behind the counter, I saw they were serving box wine. So they kept lowering my expectations and decided not to even look at the wine menu.
Also, I ordered the chicken marsala and found a small piece of metal in the food that i had to pull from my mouth. At this point, I gave up, I asked for the server and showed him the piece of metal, and instructed him to remove that part of the meal from my tab. They did as I asked and was kind enough to ask if I needed anything else. With the three strikes they had already, i wasn't in the mood to be disappointed again.
