Best Italian Restaurants in South Dallas / Fair Park

My boyfriend and I went here for Valentine’s day! This place is a 10/10 the customer service was excellent. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming upon arrival, we had drinks at the bar while we waited for our table ( 10-15 min due to holiday, which we didn’t mind) . The ambiance was amazing, the food was even better!! Travis was our server and he was great and very helpful about the menu. We went with the crowd favorite “Spicy Creste Di Gallo”. Its was sooo good, not too spicy, we demolished our plates. This is what I look for when I pick a restaurant and it was a perfect choice, we will be back!!

Amazing food & service. Ambience was super great for Valentine’s Day. Would certainly come back

We had a delightful Valentine’s experience. The staff were really great - special thanks to Amanda and Richard for helping guide our choices for food and wine! The live music was lovely, and the food was excellent. I look forward to returning soon!

The food was amazing, cocktails were both delicious and not overly strong. I loved the low-lighting ambience, definitely makes for a great date night. The manager Matt was very nice as well, overall loved it. I would definitely let friends/family know about it.

Dolce Riviera was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and the staff was very professional, particularly the manager and waiter. The arancini antipasti was topped with fresh, seasoned arugula, doubling as appetizer and palate cleanser. For entree, I had the gnocchi with salmon; creamy and perfectly cooked, it was the real-deal of northern Italian dishes. Dolce is definitely the type of place you can take that special someone for a luxury experience. If you're looking for the next Italian fine-dining experience, Dolce is the place for you.
