    Generally we all love Dolce but our experience last night left us unsettled. Only 1 of the 3 of us got exactly what we ordered.

    great neighborhood restaurant with excellent food, service and a nice ambience, just a really good vibe. the only thing i would change is the playlist--too much old school rock and reggae--a more eclectic mix that has more modern, cool, interesting music would better suit the clientele and ambience.

    I’ve been to Dolce probably 10 times over recent o years—all for lunch—and I have to say it has been improving, both in terms of food and service. Being in a strip mall, the ambience is what it is but the interior setup and decor are very pleasant. The flatbreads are very good, as is the burger. I just had the lasagna and it was a little different but quite good as well.

    First time customers. Anniversary dinner for my wife and me. Really all-around a great experience. Friendly, attentive staff. Good cocktails. Very tasty appetizer (artichokes). Excellent and large salads (caprese and roasted beet). Superb dinner (salmon and the free-range chicken). Because it was our anniversary, we were served a complimentary and really good dessert (tiramisu). A great evening. We will be coming back.
