    Our dinner at Dolce was wonderful. Our server was attentive throughout the meal and helped me when choosing a pasta dish that had no cheese. We had the bruschetta as an appetizer, the pasta Amatriciana and rigatoni w/Italian sausage as entrees. The finish was a cannoli for the husband and a Godiva chocolate torte for me. Everything was outstanding!! You can't go wrong choosing this authentic Italian restaurant. Bon Appetit!

    Not the Dolce of five years ago. On a positive note, nice greeting at the door still there. Quickly got to our reserved table. However, the laminated menus tell it all. Wish there was one waiter/waitress but the rotating staff and constant flow of trying to remove our plates cut into any intimate conversation we could have had. What happened to an introduction and a friendly face that frequents your table just the right amount of time instead of a parade ? Food was tasty but no specials were offered on a Friday night? We mildly enjoyed our experience, felt rushed and disappointed our evening was loud, less friendly, a churn of an evening.

    We have driven by this place a million times and never ventured in. We will now add it to the rotation. We had the prosciutto and burrata as an appetizer and then split the carbonara. Both were fantastic - simple and perfectly done. Highly recommend. Although it’s in a strip mall in a high traffic area, you would never know. The curtains and lighting give it a quaint and private feel.

    Love the food and ambiance here. After several visits, everyone has enjoyed their dinners. Try to make a reservation since it’s a smaller restaurant.

    Food is excellent but prices for ancillary items are very high. $12 for a house cab, $12 for a shot of Bailey’s in a coffee (plus $4 for the coffee), $11 for a small Caesar salad. $180 for 2 entrees, 2 salads, 4 house wines, and 2 coffees.
