Dolce Vita Italian

Came here with my family. Calamari was decent. Bread, too. Three of us got marsala and none of us were impressed...or even thought it actually presented as true marsala. Gluten-free pasta was $5 extra which is absurd. Our server was good, but there was a disconnect between him and the bar staff, so the whiskey I ordered (which they absolutely had) was seemingly unavailable that night. I'd like to say I won't be back, but they're practically the only Italian game in town.

The food, service and atmosphere is incredible. I love this place. Brono (the owner) visits our table everytime we go in to welcome us and to make sure everything is perfect.Food: 5/5

I enjoyed the eggplant parmesan and my brother had the shrimp scampi. I have never had such good Italian food! The restaurant is beautiful and the owners and staff are wonderful!Vegetarian options: I had the eggplant parmesan but there are plenty of other selections for vegetarians.Parking: There is plenty of parking space.

Hidden GemOur first visit will not be our last. If you are looking for a great experience in service, atmosphere, and food, this is a great place to try. After stumbling across some posts on Facebook, we decided to see for ourselves. They have a full bar and variety of wines available to pair with your meal. We’re not drinkers but I can appreciate that the option was available. The pricing seemed reasonable as well.The toasted ravioli appetizer was generous and the marinara was freshly made. The garlic knots were big and fluffy. The server did a fantastic job checking in on us while being respectful of not hovering. She was very friendly and outgoing. The owner, Bruno, came by to introduce himself and was welcoming that we had come. The ambiance of the facility was properly decorated, inviting, and clean. Rhianna mentioned to us that they had recently expanded with a third dining room. Impressive to hear of a local shop’s sales growth in the current economy.My wife and I both decided to order the Baked Sampler which had lasagna, manicotti, and fettucine alfredo along with either a salad or soup. The portions were again generous and flavorful. Unlike many places where the term “sampler” is a proper description, we were both very filled with the big plates of food. The ranch dressing must be made inhouse because it was one of the best I have tasted in a long time.Having dessert is not normal for us but we left room for it this round. She had NY Cheesecake while I enjoyed Tiramisu. Not being much of a sweet’s person, I was satisfied with the light and airy dessert. Sometimes you just must step outside the normal and try a new place. Absolutely no complaints coming from us and looking forward to a return visit.

I highly recommend this restaurant. My husband and I were celebrating a birthday and went in early yesterday afternoon. The food and service was excellent. The Shrimp and Chicken Mona Lisa was so very yummy!!! Can’t wait to have leftovers later today!
