   One of our favorite Italian restaurant in Sarasota. Beyond the amazing food, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and make us feel truly welcome. We will definitely be coming back

   Food is authentic and the best I’ve had in Sarasota! The owner and staff are exceptional. You don’t leave hungry! Lemon cello cake is always amazing!

   Amazing and awesome from food, service, quality and attentive staff. When they made a mistake, they were very apologetic and fixed it without hesitation. Over the top with everything! When we visit from out of town, we ALWAYS make a point to stop here to eat.

   We had the Trenne Dolce Italia with meatballs and started with the buffalo mozzarela. The restaurant is quaint, well-appointed, and very much a reminder of small restaurants in Europe. The waitstaff is professional and clearly excited about the food they are serving as they well should be. They are kind, attentive, helpful, and understand that the pace of dining for each customer is different and accommodates them accordingly. The Trenne was excellent. It looked especially appetizing and tasted even more delicious. I also very much like the gnocchi. It is our favorite restaurant in Sarasota which is why we make it a priority to eat there each year while we escape the cold north. Saving on taxes is a good reason to move to Floirda but an even better one is that you could enjoy Cafe Dolce Italia as often as you please.

    Dolci Italia never ever disappoints. People rave about other Italian restaurants in the area, but none compare to Dolci Italia. The service, the food, the value, and the atmosphere are all top notch. Most importantly, they have a high standard in both service and their food and they consistently maintain both each and every visit. Matthew and his team are outstanding . The dishes are authentic and and delicious. We have worked our way through the menu and are never disappointed.
