" While I enjoyed my experience at Dolce Italia, I was a bit let down by the service. Although the food was good, I felt neglected at times. The caprese salad was fantastic, and the second visit was much better than the first—hopefully, they’ll maintain the quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dinner at Dolce Italia was everything we hoped for! The fettuccine alfredo was creamy and indulgent. I was thrilled to see authentic Italian desserts on the menu, and they didn’t disappoint. If you want a taste of Italy in Florida, this is it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply amazing from start to finish! The staff was welcoming, and we didn’t have to wait long for our meals. The portions were delicious and quite generous. They even have gluten-free options. We will be back, without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited while on vacation, and I was blown away by the quality of the food. Each dish was more enjoyable than the last. The short rib ravioli was a personal favorite. I wish I could take this restaurant home with me! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved my visit to Dolce Italia! The food was remarkably authentic, transporting me straight to Italy. I had the margherita pizza and it was hands down the best I’ve ever had outside of Naples. The warm ambiance and friendly staff really made our evening special. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely divine! We enjoyed a delightful meal filled with lovely flavors and welcoming service. The seafood linguini was a standout, and we wrapped up our dinner with the cutest dessert platter.
