It was a lovely evening. High number of large tables with one “old lads” table particularly Loyd. Allowed smoking in an enclosed area close to street and smell of smoke intruded on our space.

First visit, food excellent, staff welcoming and accommodating. Staff accommodated our not on the menu food request. Really good to have flexibility. Wine was really good. Price was fair, if you want a quick bite or long evening Dolce Vita accommodates. Thankyou, we will be back!

Lovely welcome from staff. Really nice atmosphere. Menu not extensive and not clear they did full size pizzas, but they were great and basically said they’d do what we wanted. E.g. did mussels as a starter even though it wasn’t on menu as a starter. Gave us plenty of time to select from menu, we dithered and they were very patient. Food and drink reasonably priced. More than happy to recommend to friends and will be visiting again. Pay and display car park just down the road. Thank you Dolce Vita, great job!

Food was fabulous and the staff very professional and helpful. It was a quiet evening and so quiet in the restaurant, but we were told the restaurant would be closing at 9.30pm, even though we were still part way through our bottle of wine. So it was a disappointing end. I would go again as the food was so good, but would feel the need to book very early in the evening to not feel rushed at the end.

The food and service were wonderful. Being able to go to the bar next door for music and drinks after our meal, was a great addition to a fun evening. Looking forward to visiting again.
