In the tradition of the great European bistros, La Dolce Vita is devoted to providing a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for everything from eight course dinners to coffee and Calvino. 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.

    This was again an excellent meal. We shared the crab cake and calamari appetizers - both were exceptional. My husband had the porterhouse steak that was brought back for testing at six locations on the menu. He said it was tender and flavorful. I had the lamb chops. They were very tasty, seasoned well. The waitress asked if I wanted the lamb chops butterflied and at no other visit have I been asked that. They taste so much more tender, this way for some reason. I will make a mental note to always request my lamb chops butterflied here. My husband had the lobster macaroni and cheese. He said it was very good not dry this time. I got the mashed potatoes which were delicious. Brussels sprouts were just OK. As the bacon was a bit chewy. The entire meal was an experience and delicious. We ordered dessert to go, coconut cream pie to share - it was still tasty once home. Service was excellent as well. We will be back.
