" We had a fantastic brunch at Dolci Cafe Italiano! The banana-nutella crepes were heavenly, soft, and perfectly sweet. I also loved the different variations of eggs benedict they offered. However, it could have been improved if they included fresh fruit on the side. Service was prompt and friendly, although it became a bit slow when the restaurant filled up. Overall, a wonderful experience worth repeating. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Dolci Cafe Italiano last weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food! The Fettuccine Alfredo was creamy and flavorful, making it one of the best I've had. Every bite was delightful! Our server was attentive, making sure our drinks were always full and checking in frequently without being overbearing. The ambiance was cozy and perfect for a date night. I will definitely be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Dolci Cafe Italiano due to all the positive reviews; however, my experience didn’t quite meet my expectations. The pasta I ordered felt overcooked and lacked flavor. On the other hand, the desserts looked enticing and the tiramisu was quite delicious. Our server was very informative and offered great recommendations, which was appreciated. I might return but will definitely order differently on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall good dining experience! The food was plentiful and delicious, even though some options lacked seasoning. I wish I would have ordered some sides to brighten up the dishes. The service was good, though the wait time for our food was longer than expected. The ambiance was charming, particularly the decor. I think I would try it once more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dining experience was quite forgettable. While my companions enjoyed their meals, my seafood pasta arrived lukewarm and undercooked. The service was slow, and we had to wait too long between courses, which spoiled the evening. On a positive note, the ambiance was very nice, with soft lighting and gentle music. I might give it another try, but I will certainly approach with caution on the food preparation next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredibly delicious! My husband and I enjoyed a romantic dinner, and everything was perfect. I want to highlight the importance of reservations, as this place tends to get busy. The gnocchi was pillowy and rich, truly a treat! The service was attentive without being intrusive. I must recommend their dessert menu; the tiramisu was exceptional! " (*Curated Review*)

" An excellent family dinner experience! We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and each one was delightful, especially the baked ziti. The staff was friendly and accommodated our requests. I truly appreciated the portion sizes, which were perfect for sharing. The only downside was the noise level, which was quite high; perhaps sound-proofing options could be considered.
