We welcome our guests to an authentic Italian restaurant: here we offer traditional cuisine, with a modern take on northern and southern Italian recipes. Mauro, the chef, and his wife Tina, have an huge amount of experience behind them.

Mauro is from Naples, Tina was born in a little sicilian town near by Enna.
He began to learn everything about the southern cuisine by his experience in Naples since he was a child, from “Polipetti alla Luciana” to “Paccheri ai frutti di mare”. Furthermore he moved in Milan and he had the chance to learn the northern cuisine, from “Risotto ai funghi porcini” to “Polenta grigliata”, one of his favourite specialties!
From an ancient sicilian tradition, Tina learnt everything about the desserts by her grandmother and her mother, from “Millefoglie” to “Cannoli cake”.

We hope you enjoyed reading about us. but it would be great if you would have the chance to taste our fantastic dishes! It will be an amazing experience with no

We had Christmas Eve dinner here. What a wonderful Feast of Seven Fishes! The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. The kicker was the singer, who really made the night for us with her combination of Christmas songs and old classics!

As always, La Dolce Vita serves fresh, authentic and delicious Italian food. From the moment you walk through the door until the time you leave you will not be disappointed. Tina‘s limoncello is the best we have ever had.

Dinner before ‘Candlelight’ performance at nearby Boniface Episcopal Church. Located in small plaza, we were welcomed with family warmth. Excellent meal perfectly prepared! Fresh calamari, sea bass and homemade pasta. Delicious!!! Will definitely return!

We have long enjoyed the food & service! However, there was confusion re our appetizer order & dessert order, both times a language barrier perhaps! Our waitress seemed rushed & the noise also confused our order. I mentioned bruschetta but did not order in the end! When she served it I said I had not ordered it. She was not pleasant! Then my husband ordered panna cotta & was served what appeared to be cheesecake & ice cream! Again, when he wanted to return it he was met with/it being his fault! She said “You said ricotta”! Certainly will always return & be much more clear confirming our orders!

Delightful and authentic Italian restaurant with outstanding food and once you walk through the front door you would think you were in Italy intimate dining area. You are greeted with friendly smiles and superb service. All four meals, appetizers and dessert was top notch.
