- JJanetTampa / Central Florida West •9 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 30, 2025The food was exceptional. We shared the sautéed squid with garlic & anchovy breadcrumbs - nice change from the standard fried calamari. The bread was wonderful. Next up was linguine vongole- homemade pasta was delicious & sauce exceptional. Next was the misto seafood - great selection of giant shrimp with heads, mussels, octopus & squid. All cooked perfectly & the olive oil sauce was great - of course more bread for sopping up the sauce. We ended up bringing some of the seafood home.More infoLa Dolce Vita Authentic Italian CuisinePrice: Expensive• Italian• Sarasota•4.9
