    This was our third time at Dolce and it was very pleasant. The server and staff were very friendly and attentive. The bread was outstanding. The mushroom caps were very good. I had the veal and my wife had the eggplant. Both were hot and delicious. The lemon cake and cheese cake were also very good. They had a nice selection on the menu. There is a large free parking lot right there. Very happy with our visit.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently visited this wonderful restaurant in Charlotte with my boyfriend, and we absolutely loved our experience! As a visitor from Greenville, South Carolina, I was impressed by the beautiful ambiance and energetic atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the steak frites, and it was fantastic—definitely recommend it! I also enjoyed a refreshing sangria on the side. My boyfriend had the lobster mac & cheese, which was equally delightful. Our server was incredibly sweet and attentive, contributing to the overall positive vibe. It was evident that everyone there was happy, and the entire place ran smoothly. The bathrooms were clean, which is always a plus! I highly recommend making a reservation, as it tends to get busy (which is a great sign!). Our food arrived quickly, and the staff was genuinely kind throughout our visit. Overall, this place is a must-try! Our bill was around 75$ and we left our server a 23$ tip just because we love making People happy ❤️😌

    Had such a wonderful dinner here due to wonderful people & delicious food! When I made the reservation on OpenTable, I mentioned that we were coming for a special occasion: to celebrate getting our marriage license. Well someone from the restaurant reached out to confirm the details and when we arrived we were handed a beautiful Mr. & Mrs. wooden box with wine glasses inside. We definitely didn't expect such a thoughtful gift and that completely wowed us! We ordered the polpette & beef tartare cannolis for starters and they were amazing. The beef tartare cannolis were so unique and definitely my favorite item of the meal. I could have eaten a dozen of those. We got pasta for our mains: him the black pepper tagliatelle and me the cacio & pepe, both were delicious but man the tagliatelle was incredible. I had the lemon torta for dessert and it was delicious - so bright and fresh with a little bit of creaminess to it. We loved our food but were blown away by the kindness of the people and cannot wait to come back. Everything that passed by our table looked delicious and I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu!
