For those of you who are not current or former gauchos who roam the prairies of Brazil, you might need an explanation of our style of service. At the end on a long day of work tending to cattle and stock, Brazilian cowboys (Gauchos) and their families would prepare great feasts. They would skewer various meats, roast them over a fire pit and bring them to the table for carving. There would be a bounty of seasonal vegetables, stews and salads using fresh ingredients from the fruits of their labor.

    A Culinary Delight at Villa Dolce! From the moment we walked into Villa Dolce it was clear that this would be a dining experience to remember. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with soft lighting and a cozy, yet modern ambiance that set the perfect tone for an evening out. The service was impeccable. Our server, Bella, was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. She made fantastic recommendations from the menu, each one more tempting than the last. Now, the food—wow! Every dish we tried was a masterpiece. The shrimp scampi was a standout, bursting with flavors that danced on the palate. The Farfalle was equally impressive, with a perfect balance of textures and tastes that left us wanting more. It’s clear that the chefs here put a lot of thought and care into every ingredient and presentation. To top it all off, the dessert—Black Cherry Tiramisu—was the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. Light, sweet, and just the right amount of indulgence. If you're looking for a top-notch dining experience that combines exceptional food with outstanding service, look no further than Villa Dolce. We will definitely be returning soon!
