La Dolce Vita is kind of a small place on the inside, with nice murals of Italy decorating the walls, and a small patio outside tucked away amongst some small touristy shops. I was dining with my friend K, and we chose to sit outside on the patio, next to the fountain, and the large heater. We got a complementary basket of bread, along with a bowl of dipping sauce. I believe the sauce was olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes and garlic, and it was very tasty!
I started with a Caprese salad, the usual tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil drizzled with olive oil, with an added bonus of roasted peppers. It was great. K had the tomato, basil and cream soup and she loved it.
Next course I was on to Chicken Marsala, served with veggies and pasta. All delicious. K had Butternut Squash Ravioli and she said it was quite good, and had enough to take home for another meal. The service was excellent and we loved our friendly waiter that spoke with an Italian accent. We also thought it was great when another server brought our dinner and left us with an "Enjoy huh" in classic Italian style.
And finally, dessert. I chose the warm Brownie ala mode, and K had the Cannoli Siciliani...perfection!
Nothing but good things to say about this restaurant, and I very highly recommend it to all!
Buon Appetito!
