I love this place! Our waiter was so fun and funny and the staff are all so nice. Maria is a great worker and should be promoted to manager asap. She makes the restaurant what it is. Pedro is also spectacular and helped us with any tasks we needed and answered questions. The food was very good and Maria, one of the staff members was the absolute best. Ask for her when you go to la dolce vita! Just remember the bathroom needs a key. Our waiter whose name we cannot recall was great and had a big personality and was very entertaining. I am food critic and the food was wonderful.

Nice family experience on Christmas Day. Very tasty and wide variety of holiday foods, salad bar, fruit and cereal bar for kids, soups, and extensive dessert bar.
