" My friends and I decided to check out La Dolce Vita during the weekend and the food did not disappoint! The calamari was deliciously tender and the marinara sauce was fresh. However, the service could have been better; there were long waits between ordering and receiving our meals. For a high-end place, I expected a bit more professionalism from the staff. I would recommend it for the food, but hopefully, they can improve their service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at La Dolce Vita was magical! I went there for a special anniversary dinner and the staff went above and beyond. Our server, Paige, was so personable and made amazing recommendations. The lobster ravioli was to die for, and the atmosphere with live piano music was enchanting. We also indulged in the crème brûlée cheesecake which was delightful. The prices are up there, but for the quality and experience, it’s worth it. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a fan of La Dolce Vita for years and it's nice to see that the new management has maintained the charm of the place. The ambiance is delightful, especially during warm evenings which makes the garden setting perfect for a date night. The selection of wines pairs beautifully with the dishes. I tried the chicken piccata, which was cooked perfectly, and the portion was quite generous. Service was excellent; everyone was attentive and genuine in their care for our experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to La Dolce Vita several times, and it has always been a pleasant experience! The atmosphere is beautiful, especially when seated outside. My favorite dish is the stuffed pasta, which never disappoints. Our service has generally been good, but I have encountered delays while waiting for drinks. I keep returning for the delicious food and lovely ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" My meal at La Dolce Vita was splendid. The pasta primavera was fresh and flavorful, the best I’ve had in a while. The ambiance made it a perfect night out, however, service was slow. We waited almost an hour for our entrees. I would recommend this place if you don't mind the wait, as the food is worth it. I will visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Spent a lovely evening at La Dolce Vita. The service was fantastic, and the outdoor setup was breathtaking. I tried the seafood pasta, and my partner had the traditional lasagna. Both were quite decent, with good flavor profiles, though a tad small for the price. The ambiance is perfect for a romantic evening, and we will surely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high hopes for La Dolce Vita but it didn't quite live up to expectations. The decor is charming, and the staff was friendly, but my food was mediocre. I had chicken marsala which was dry and lacked seasoning – not what I hoped for. Perhaps it was just an off night. The outdoor seating is beautiful though, so I might give them another shot down the line. " (*Curated Review*)
