Always love spending the evening at La Dolce Vita! I think you need one of those entryway door protectors. The cold wind outside came right inside…and it was really cold! Otherwise, a beautiful night. Can’t wait to return.

Terrific experience! The building and design are gorgeous! We saw Brandon and Pastor Phil, who were a delight ... so welcoming. The staff and food are just wonderful. After hours, visit Ryan at the bar. He will whip up a wonderful cocktail and conversation. This is absolutely my favorite new spot!

Lunch was great - all of us ordered different salads with the add-on crab cake. The salads were good and the crab cake was perfect - crispy edges, not a lot of filler, and delicious! Our waiter was attentive and inconspicuous at the same time.
