Hi Everyone, here is the straight story on Dolce Vita. If you know Italian food, are Italian, have been to Italy or know how to read a basic Italian cook book you should probably go elsewhere. Very cheesy from the loud owner greeting you ( like you just got to the Disney Italian Restaurant ride in Orlando) to the included bread which was just as tasty as toasted Italian Bread from Shaw's. Orders were overpriced (an understatement) and under delivered as far as taste and quality. A small step above (possibly) The Olive Garden. Bring a large wallet and a small appetite. If you have several hundred dollars to spend go to a local supermarket pick up a 40$ bottle of Italian wine (maybe 2 ) then make your own Italian dinner. Not one entree ordered made the cut. The ravioli (for our children) were definitely frozen as were the gnocchi (side dish 9.95). The eggplant parm was marginal, small and non memorable. The veal chop dry and tasteless how about that for 34.95$?! \r
You are paying for the North End overhead and getting fast food Americanized Italian at its worst. The quality would rank close to the worst in Italy, inedible by a native Italian. Several chain Italian restaurants in the Northeast are far better at much less cost....\r
Not sure what to recommend except to stay away and save your money for an Italian vacation! Beware the positive reviews (look at their last name)
Pros: Location Maybe?
Cons: Everything (the food, taste, menu)
