   Girls weekend and birthday celebration brought us in last night. The portions were plentiful , decent wine selection for easy pairing. The menu was everything we desired from Little Italy sending our taste buds through the roof! Looking forward to visiting again soon. 👏🏻

   We love this popular Italian restaurant in Little Italy. The chicken Parmesan and Marcella were outstanding as usual! Great interaction with the staff who were very helpful with wine selection. Also, brought the best desserts for us to try as we celebrated a special birthday! Open Table allowed ups to secure a reservation on a very busy night!

    Our family again and again remarked on the tremendous service and cozy feel of our personal favorite spot in Little Italy. It was their first experience at La Dolce Vita and I think they were blown away. We received complimentary dessert and fruit for my parent's anniversary and for five of us our budget wasn't blown out of the water to fill our stomachs and hearts with delicious food and warm fuzzy feeling. Thanks L D V!

    We were very happy overall with the food, service, ambiance. We had a large group and everyone loved their food. Only one disappointment was that our entrees were brought to us while we were still enjoying our appetizers. We didn’t have room for dessert, but the fruit plate was a deliciously perfect wrap up of our dinner! Cappuccino was good too. La Dolce Vita is our favorite restaurant in Little Italy. We will definitely be back!

    Not like it used to be. My eggplant parm was as thin as leather and inedible. Sauce and pasta were OK. Black and white movies were replaced with tons of random houseplants. Music was loud trendy pop. Owner was walking around with a big bowl of their special and putting it on every plate in the house. Very disappointed to spend my birthday here.

    Food was great. Service mediocre. Tables were too close together and they were small . Felt crowded and uncomfortable. Noise was so loud couldn’t carry on a conversation at that table.

    Our fave in Little Italy, which for sure has several worthwhile dining rooms. Food is always well prepared, and lack of pretense, which are not always the case in the neighborhood. The funky decor and lack of pretense disguise real pride in what is served. Menu has old favorites done well but also interesting departures. Very nice staff.

    We felt like a dinner in Little Italy and had not been to La Dolce in a while. We decided to do the a full course dinner. We did appetizers, salad, entree and desert. Let’s just say we were both stuffed. Food was great, but what made the dinner was our server, Bella. She was extremely pleasant and very attentive in a very busy restaurant. She did an excellent job of pacing each course and we never felt rushed. I entertain customers a decent amount for my job and would put her service up with any high end restaurant. We will certainly request her on our next trip to La Dolce.

    Food was great and for a great price and atmosphere was amazing. The owner walked around and greeted tables and served free pasta appetizers to multiple tables in the restaurant. The drinks were also amazing and the servers were friendly. They also gave everyone a complimentary fruit dessert at the end of our meal. Servers were also attentive and noticed we didn’t receive bread at the beginning of our meal and came back to give it to us at the end.

    This was a pre-concert dinner, served quickly and with gusto. We had a special, risotto with scallops, and cacio di pepe, a house dish. Dessert was two orders of limoncello tirimasu, which made us ask whether this is a great country or what? We'll be back.

    The food was great. But let's be honest, how hard is it to find good Italian food in Little Italy. We definitely overpaid for our experience. The server was curt and unhelpful with questions about the menu. The restaurant was dirty - we got there early, before the dinner crowd, and the floor had clearly not been cleaned from the night before. The ceiling looks to be caving-in in one of the rooms, and the paint on the walls and ceiling are painting. Given all the options in the neighborhood, we are not inclined to go back.

    It was fantastic, as always. It was a big family Sunday afternoon dinner after the Disney Immersive Experience. Our meal was terrific, and everyone was happy, from our Italian Wedding Soup to our Chicken Parm to the super yummy desserts.

    Had a reservation and table was not ready. after waiting 10-15 they squeezed us at the table directly by the door which was for 4 people and they put a 5th chair on the end which really didn't have enough room. every time the door opening we had gusts of cold air hit us. It took well over 10 minutes before anyone greeted us - when server did come over he was wonderful - got all of our orders in immediately but never really checked on us again until he dropped checks. we were celebrating a huge birthday for a family member and she never got to take off her coat bc of the drafty table. pretty disappointed.
