I miss the old Dolce! The ambience was so cozy and now its a lot less intimate. The staff seemed a little less attentive than they once were and the food was not as I remember it. I will be back because Im hoping it was just an off night since I haven't been there in a couple years.
This is a great neighborhood gem for family or special day.
Love Dolce. Always a great meal and service.
Friendly and responsive wait staff, delicious food .. we really enjoyed our experience!
Wasn’t told about the specials. Guess it was assumed I only wanted happy hour. It’s Valentine’s Day and only knew about the specials from another guest at the restaurant. Amy you need to step it up!
Dolce Restaurant was a great find. Great Food every time we go. Awesome Service.
We took our friends and they have gone back 3 time since.
Always perfect. Our favorite place!!!!
We stand and support businesses like this special restaurant during these times! Great spot, so thankful it is open!
Went there for Christmas Eve. Sat outside with the heaters which was fine. Service was good, but the food was okay. Ordered the butcher's cut, which was a ribeye, and the quality of meat was not work the price paid.
We may go back post-Covid and see if it is any better.
Always perfect in every way.
The food was sooo good!! The salmon and the brick chicken were so tasty! The service was fantastic and seeing people all enjoying this place was a bit bitter sweet since as of today they have to shut down because of COVID.
My number one "go to" restaurant for all the right reasons: delicious, healthy food, professional, friendly wait staff and ownership, and an always reliable good experience.
Delicious food as always. Outdoor dining during Covid is much appreciated and cozy. Great service and a neighborhood favorite!
Great food, wine, and service! We had not been to Dolce in awhile and soon remembered why it is one of our favorite places
It was all Very good, and Miles, our wait person was outstanding.
Love Dolce!! Great food, fun atmosphere!
We love Dolce! Always comfortable and friendly. The food is excellent and we enjoyed dinner and wine with friends. I often order the Bibb lettuce salad and paired it with the delicious lamb chops and polenta. Perfect!
Wonderful place. Our servers are consistently lovely and the food is delightful.
We were seated and no one came to give us water, take our order or check on us. We left after 20 minutes of no service after watching another couple come in and get immediately served.
Always perfect! Courtney and Nicole welcome us always as if we’re visiting their home. Everyone enjoyed their food and the ambiance. They definitely follow all covid guidelines and I felt very comfortable.
We chose to sit outside since it was nice night out but later found out we were near the dumpster which smelled bad. We enjoyed the food and all though.
Cassie is always amazing and we love Dolce!
As always, everything was delicious and the service was great.
Food was wonderful but thanks to ca rules not allowing patrons to dine indoors we were seated on the sidewalk. Thank goodness we were there to celebrate so it was not bothersome since I was so distracted by the good conversation.
Excellent bar and restaurant. The flat bread is amazing and the staff provide VIP service. We always stop by when staying at Rancho Valencia or Fairmont Grand.
Dolce is a neighborhood favorite and always has great food. We enjoyed our outdoor dining experience very much. Great food, service and ambiance.
Always just about perfect - one of my go to places
The food was delicious and outdoor seating perfect. It is a gem of a restaurant
Local favorite. Enjoyed a bib salad with gorgonzola, the small plates (Wagyu beef sliders; 3 small New Zealand lamb garlic and herb marinated chops, bell pepper polenta, arugula pesto, $21), pastas and flat breads for sharing. Reasonably priced food and wine (most wines by the glass $15 to $18). Excellent service. With COVID restrictions, they have outdoor dining. Good out front, but we were in a small back patio with road noise; no ambience. Request the front area.
Gwyn always so lovely and the white pizza too good to pass up even with the carbs 🙄😊
We had such a great time and fun experience at Dolce. Thank you!
Corey was attentive and “on it” as always. Love what they’ve done with the space, too!
Service with a smile
Our server was quick and very friendly.
The selection of wines were good
We did have an issue with our meal. The steak was severely overcooked and they were unapologetic, so that was unfortunate. We had to wait for it be recooked as ordered. They also gave our reserved table away to a walk in customer in front of us who who asked for it, which the other person working the host stand inadvertently revealed to us. The alternative table they gave us was not ideal. Too bad as it could have been a good experience minus at least 1 of these issues.
Dolce has done well to make outdoor dining work. The atmosphere is nice, given your in the parking lot. Save for the occasional loud car or motorcycle (thank you Harley rider), it was really quite pleasant. The service was good (they were busy, so it took a little longer than usual, but nothing problematic) and the food excellent. All in all, it was nice to be back at Dolce and worth a visit for those who want a nice night out.
Nice birthday dinner on the patio. Food was delicious.
Great table but service a little on the slow side. Enjoyed my pear salad & pizza. Was a little noisy, but I guess have to accept that when eating outside.
Always a lovely meal and COVID experience top-notch
Great evening , great food great to be out at one of our favorite restaurants
We always love to come here. I had the beet salad with salmon and we also had beef sliders all of which were delicious.
