" I can’t say enough good things about Dolly’s. It’s cozy, warm, and Dolly herself is so friendly! My friend and I decided to split a few dishes, which turned out to be a great idea to taste everything. The Alfredo was absolutely divine, tossed in an enormous Parmigiano-Reggiano wheel like I’ve never experienced before. The wine selection is impressive as well! I look forward to returning with my family! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a remarkable dining experience at Dolly's. I brought my partner here for our anniversary, and it couldn't have been more perfect! The staff provided exceptional service, and we truly appreciated the attention to detail throughout the night. The fettuccine was incredible, creamy, and rich, in a good way! I can't say enough about the deliciousness of the dessert as well, every bite felt special. This is a spot we’ll cherish for years to come! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dolly's has become my new favorite spot to unwind and enjoy a delightful dinner! Every time I visit, I’m met with the same warm atmosphere and delicious food. The quality of the dishes shines through, and you can tell they put an emphasis on ingredients and preparation. It’s a cozy place for casual dining, and I’ve enjoyed every dish I’ve tried thus far. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Could not have asked for a better evening at Dolly's! The minute we arrived, Dolly welcomed us like old friends. We sat down and started with her recommendations, which included the charcuterie board and the beet salad – both fantastic! Then I had the fettuccine alfredo tossed in the parmesan wheel – it was rich and creamy without being too heavy. The atmosphere made it feel very special but also relaxed enough to have a great time. Will definitely make this place a regular spot. Cheers, Dolly! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Dolly's hoping for a marvelous meal, and I got far more than I expected! The space is intimate and filled with smiles. Dolly has a way of making you feel like you belong as soon as you walk in. The richness of the fettuccine alfredo made from scratch was the highlight, and the desserts complemented them perfectly. I’ll be back for more authentic dishes soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Italian dishes here are authentic, created and served with care and love. Dolly makes sure each person who walks in feels special. We tried a range of items, but my favorites were the smoked salmon fettuccine and the beet salad. The only downside was somewhat slow service, but when the food is this good, it’s worth the wait! Plus, the imported desserts are a delight. Highly recommend to anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dolly’s is one of those hidden gems! You feel like family from the second you walk in – I loved the hospitality. The food is authentic Italian, and I couldn’t believe how fresh the pasta tasted. We enjoyed the charcuterie board, with a variety of cheeses. The tiramisu was rich and perfectly balanced. Overall, a fabulous dining experience; I’m looking forward to returning very soon!
