    Everything was delicious! We both had the grouper special over home made ravioli and it was one of the best fish dishes ever! The owner Benny could not have been nicer! We had not been there since Benny bought the place a few years ago, but we definitely will be back! One of the best restaurants in the area!

    Wonderful Dinner as always. We shared eggplant rollatini to start. Had the Salmon in scampi sauce served with spinach and mashed potato’s - perfectly cooked, very good sized portion ( took half home for tonight). We splurged with dessert and shared lemon cello cake- delicious! This is one of our favorite restaurants! We were warmly greeted , the room has a very welcoming ambiance, BYOB. We highly recommend !

    Felt like we were rushed the whole time. The food itself wasn’t that great and the portions were TINY. I ordered the chicken parm which came with penne noodles and there were like 18 noodles on my plate. Then on top of that everything was overpriced. Waiter was nice and he had the specials memorized well but that’s about the only thing good about this place.

    I had the eggplant rollatini and green bean salad and both were excellent. I especially liked that the waiter provided a basket of good Italian bread at the start of the meal, something so many restaurants omit these days.

    The fantastic artful presentation of the delicious entrees we had made this a wonderful dining experience. My wife loved her perfectly prepared tuna special and my coconut grouper special that came with an orchid flower garnish was perfect. The super friendly service make you feel at home. BYOB is a plus. Would recommend.

    Since locally we tend to go to the Martinsville Tavern and water and wine as our regular stops. To change it up, we went to DOLCE Bene. what a pleasant surprise. Place could use some local support. The owner and possibly his wife are absolutely delightful and the food was excellent.  Portions were solid and plenty .As importantly the chicken Schiaparelli on the bone was outstanding served nice and warm and delicious. My wife's chicken Milanese was also outstanding. Good place to add to the rotation locally.
