    First time customers. Anniversary dinner for my wife and me. Really all-around a great experience. Friendly, attentive staff. Good cocktails. Very tasty appetizer (artichokes). Excellent and large salads (caprese and roasted beet). Superb dinner (salmon and the free-range chicken). Because it was our anniversary, we were served a complimentary and really good dessert (tiramisu). A great evening. We will be coming back.

    Great food in a really nice neighborhood restaurant. Live music was playing (we were there on a Friday), which was very good, but maybe a little loud. We asked for a table off to the side and it was perfect. If Dolce reads this, our server, Jeff, was excellent. He read the table really well. Right balance of attentiveness and giving us room to chat. Great job.
