    The food and service are always incredible. If you are looking for amazing and authentic Italian food head to Dolce for a great meal and wonderful experience. We visit MIA from Los Angeles about 3 times a year and visit Dolce every time we are in town. Don’t miss out on a great meal! Cheers!

    Dolce Italian was wonderful. Very convenient to our hotel, very attentive wait staff, and fabulous food! I think it was the best pasta I have ever had - I had the spinach ravioli entree. The pannacotta with fruit for dessert was great too! When we are in Miami again [this time was for a meeting], we will have dinner here again!

    It was my boyfriend’s and I one year anniversary, we sat upstairs and it was amazing! The food all came out perfect! I got the grilled octopus and he got the heart of Roman, we both cleared our plates :)!! The entrees came quick and didn’t disappoint! The server was nice and greeted us within a minute of being seated, he knew what he was talking about when discussing the menu. And the drinks were delicious! All in all I would rate it a 10/10 !! If you are looking for a date night this is the place to go :)!

    We dined at Dolce Italian for my husbands birthday and unfortunately the food is just mediocre. We ordered a Cesar salad and calamari for appetizer’s and the portions were super small for the price. Our entrées are horrible, I ordered spaghetti and meatballs and spaghetti wasn’t fully cooked and the meatballs were raw inside. My husband ordered the seafood dish and wasn’t hot and extremely small with one shrimp in the entire meal. To add insult to injury our waiter kept coming to the table every three minutes asking is everything good? We decided to order some cocktails in the red sangria taste like red water. Very disappointing! At the end of our meal, even though the waiter knew it was my husbands birthday nothing was proposed to me to honor his birthday. This was a meal well over $200.00 and nothing even done to the bread was mentionable. Our waiter even had the nerve to ask us if we wanted our meals to go as our plates were full of food. What he should’ve been asking us is, was your meal to your liking. We could’ve gotten a better meal at a smaller intimate Italian restaurant. I forgot to add when we arrived at the restaurant they couldn’t even find a reservation which was made through Open Table. I literally had to show her my phone with a confirmation. Awful

    Went for dinner and had to sit outside because my son was wearing shorts. I didn't see a dress code anywhere, not ok. Ordered ceasar salad and spaghetti with meatballs. The salad had too much dressing on it. The sauce was a very salty and the meatballs were a bland mix of meat. The food is very overpriced for the quality. I can say my server was very attentive though. The best thing on my table was the bread basket and the water. I could have gotten that anywhere. You live and learn. I won’t be returning.

    Excellent food! Everything was delicious. Our server was either drunk or high. They messed up the order multiple times and “forgot to fire” the entree so it took an extra 30 minutes. It’s the first time I didn’t add extra tip to the automatic surcharge. Would return but not have them as a server!

    Excellent Italian food! We took a chance booking based on some great reviews, and let me tell you, this restaurant is tops! Our server Raphaella was engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. Her recommendations were perfect! The GM Vito stopped by several times to check in. We were extremely impressed, loved our meals and look forward to dining again many times in the future.

    Outside of the waiter be a bit pushy on ordering alcohol everything was great. I realize they make money on alcohol but my wife doesn’t drink and he practically shoved the drink menu in front of her. Then when I ordered an espresso after dinner he chimes in asking in I wanted an espresso martini. I mean really….
