    Everything was delicious! We both had the grouper special over home made ravioli and it was one of the best fish dishes ever! The owner Benny could not have been nicer! We had not been there since Benny bought the place a few years ago, but we definitely will be back! One of the best restaurants in the area!

    Wonderful Dinner as always. We shared eggplant rollatini to start. Had the Salmon in scampi sauce served with spinach and mashed potato’s - perfectly cooked, very good sized portion ( took half home for tonight). We splurged with dessert and shared lemon cello cake- delicious! This is one of our favorite restaurants! We were warmly greeted , the room has a very welcoming ambiance, BYOB. We highly recommend !

    We always seem to have a delicious dining experience at Dolce Bene. Their daily specials of fish are fresh and excellent and we both enjoyed our selections. A relaxing atmosphere and friendly service make it enjoyable. BYOB is a plus. Definitely recommend - it has become our favorite restaurant.

    Felt like we were rushed the whole time. The food itself wasn’t that great and the portions were TINY. I ordered the chicken parm which came with penne noodles and there were like 18 noodles on my plate. Then on top of that everything was overpriced. Waiter was nice and he had the specials memorized well but that’s about the only thing good about this place.

    I had the eggplant rollatini and green bean salad and both were excellent. I especially liked that the waiter provided a basket of good Italian bread at the start of the meal, something so many restaurants omit these days.
