Welcome to La Dolce Vita Bistro - “The Sweet Life,” a restaurant and bistro created to recapture the bell-époque charm of “The Italian Drug,” opened here by Dr. Anthony Caruso in 1914.

We strive to prepare the perfect meal, or the perfect cappuccino, and let you enjoy it at your leisure. Our pasta is cooked fresh to order, our sauces and dressing are painstakingly prepared using only the finest ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, the freshest vegetables, imported whole tomatoes, fresh basil and Italian parsley... and your table is reserved for the evening.

    5:30pm reservation before the Christmas concert with the orchestra. Fantastic dinner for the four of us. Strip steaks cooked to perfection. Sea bass and pork chop good as well. Service was impeccable. We had the short rib rigatoni as an appetizer for the table to share and all at the table commented that it was the best they have ever had. Can’t wait to go again.

    Always love spending the evening at La Dolce Vita! I think you need one of those entryway door protectors. The cold wind outside came right inside…and it was really cold! Otherwise, a beautiful night. Can’t wait to return.

    Seated immediately and then sat for a while before getting menus. The food was delicious. We really enjoyed the Butter Lettuce salad. Three in our party had the Crab stuffed Salmon and one had the Lamb Chops. When we went to leave by the back door, the manager told me we had to out the front door I still don’t understand why, since the other couple in our party went out the back.

    We were in Cleveland to see the symphony and made last minute reservations at Valerio's in Little Italy which is super close to Severance Hall. We were seated promptly and Michael, our server, was a delight. He took excellent care of us, rattled off the specials, and made great recommendations. We ordered the swordfish and the lamb shank and both were amazing. The swordfish was perfectly grilled and delicious. The lamb shank was very tender, falling off the bone, with gravy that was to die for. Both were reasonably priced and less than what we expected to pay. We will definitely go back.
