Our first time there. the service was extraordinary! Like going into Nonna's kitchen! Everyone from the manager to the waitress... assistant was very nice and efficient. Prices are good which is a miracle in today's market. Now, to the food: Fantástica! Thebest pasta I have had in years! Just don't tell my wife. We four all tried each others' food and there were no losers there.Just pieces of a cooking paradise. If we had ten stars, Dolce Vita would get them Read more
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Ft Lauderdale! For an evening it feels like being transported to Italy. Everything is... amazing.... the ambiance, the food, the wine list, the service, the presentation. Fabio and his staff make you feel like family.So when my friend and I decided to throw a Bridal luncheon for my niece, of course this was the only choice. Everything exceededour expectations and those of our guests. Fabio was hands on choosing the menu and the wines. He offered a prosecco as guestsarrived. He worked with us on presentation and seating arrangements. It was perfect! Everyone had a fabulous time and are stilltalking about the food, wine and service. What made it even more special was having the restaurant all to ourselves for aprivate party. Thank you to everyone at La Dolce Vita for a memorable afternoon! Read more
This was our first visit to La Dolce Vita and it was the most delightful dining experience we have had in a long time!! Fabio... is an amazing host and made my husband and I feel like family with his warm hospitality and excellent service. Our grilledoctopus appetizer was perfectly cooked, charred and tender. The homemade spaghetti was simply delicious both in our seafooddish and in the Cacio e Pepe, which brought me right back to Rome! The portions are very ample, so we had no room for dessertthis visit. If you want to experience the feel of an authentic Italian restaurant, a place for delicious food and a welcomingatmosphere, this is the place to go! We will definitely be back again and again.

What can you say...these people LOVE food and their customers. How great it is when you read reviews as you cross alligator... alley and your mouth waters as you move through all the great comments on the homemade pasta, the truffle dishes, the specials, people just raving about the entire experience. This team of professionals gets it, from the moment I walked through the door Iwas back in little Italy NY. The atmosphere is great,quiet, low key, beautiful surroundings. The service impeccable, sweet, andattentive. And the food....not since my wife's grandmas homemade Italian dishes have I tasted food like this..just amazing. Wehad the gnocchi with black truffle, the ravioli with wild mushrooms and black truffle finishing with Tiramisu, wow, andpistachio crusted tartufo. My mouth is still watering! Read more
Absolutely amazing every time. The owners go above and beyond to make you feel like family. The best Italian food I?ve ever had.
My husband and I go here every chance we get! Not only is the food absolutely amazing but it always feels like home to us. The... owner is obsessed with making sure his guests are happy and comfortable. Both of the owners have a formal education on wine andfood, they are both from Italy so you will only get the authentic Italian foods. They have an amazing wine list and will alwaysrecommend a pairing with your meal. Aside from all of this, what I love most is how I feel when I leave the restaurant. Thereare many places you can eat but the experience and Service we receive in this restaurant keeps us coming back. This is a perfectspot for a romantic dinner, dinner with friends, family meal. They have plenty of vegetarian options too. Don't miss a chanceto make this your go to just like we have! You will fall in love with La Dolce Vita Read more
If you love real Italian cooking, La Dolce Vita is a must! We were welcomed with a warm greeting and had excellent service.... Thank you Christian! The dinner menu had plenty of choices and they also had some specials of the day. We enjoyed the burrataand prosciutto salad, mushroom risotto, grilled branzino, and veal chop in truffle sauce. Every portion was more than generous,so we shared the salad and risotto. The burrata was the best we?ve had. The branzino was cooked to perfection, tender, flakywith the skin grilled so crispy that you want to eat it all. It was covered with thinly sliced zucchini that not only kept itmoist during cooking but made for a beautiful presentation. And the veal chop!!!...oh my! Cooked perfectly, surrounded with awild mushroom black truffle sauce and roasted potatoes that were creamy and crispy on the outside. They have a well priced winelist with a nice variety of Italian wines. We like full bodied wines, so we enjoyed a Barolo. Do yourself a favor and enjoy ameal there. Don?t forget to save a little room for dessert...homemade tiramisu. You will not regret it! Read more
