La Dolce Vita - Carmel-by-the-Sea

Just eh. Not nearly as great as the reviewer raved about.

Intending to go to Little Napoli, which we'd read about online, we instead saw the great patio at La Dolce Vita and opted to try it out. The patio was cozy and warm for lunch, the service was great and not at all intrusive, and the food was fresh and consistently good. We had the pizza and gnocchi, which they served with freshly baked bread and a tomato and olive oil sauce to dip it in. Very reasonable too $32 plus tip for the two of us. In a place with wonderful food everywhere, this one was a winner.
