    Very careless service. Food wad its usual great. But in our group the main courses came 30 minutes apart, first served to last served. Staff all standing by kitchen looking at their phones. We're almost done with the place, while the food is still good, no food is so good to make up with blatantly callous service.

    I’ve been dining at La Dolce Vita for about 30 years now. The current owners have really elevated the experience. The interior has been refreshed and the menu is more elegant than before.

    The service was very slow. It took a long time for the server to take our order, and then we had to wait a long time for the bill. Also, the chef is way too crazy about bell peppers. The potatoes that accompanied my omelet were overwhelmed by the amount of bell pepper, and there was a 2-inch piece of red bell pepper in my omelet that he hadn't bothered to cut up.
