    We went for Valentine’s Day and chose the preset menu. The food was amazing and the drinks were made very well. Our server Grace was truly a highlight. She had a great personality and guided us through the menu with ease. She made really great suggestions. We can’t wait to try their brunch.

    We were served by Perry at 5pm when the restaurant opened. He was very attentive, didn’t rush our orders and quickly picked up that we were from the UK. He was good with recommendations, humour and helping us have an overall good experience! Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Shout out Perry!

    We arrived a little early to have a cocktail at the bar. Service was classy! We seated on time and enjoyed appertizers to share. We were not rushed. We did order main meals and a couple sides (beets and Brussels). The main meals were fantastic, however the sides never came. The waitress was lovely and kept our drinks full. Food and atmosphere was great. We’ll be back again.

    We absolutely LOVE Dolce..... just like home cooking and also our frequent visits to Italy. Their value is excellent in terms of quality AND price... and honestly, you feel like you are in your Italian family's home enjoying a fabulous meal...... The selection of Italian wines is superb. To a person, staff and management are first-class...... we could eat there every night! If you have not had the opportunity to enjoy Dolce...... absolutely encourage you to go have a special evening, a fun date night or just for any reason.

    I have never had a bad experience. The tacos are awesome, and the margaritas are mixed to perfection. If I sound like a fan, it's because I am.
