Good food, loved the bread, and the egg drop soup was my favorite. The spaghetti was ok, but everything else including the bread was fantastic.

My girl took me here. Had a fabulous evening. Loved the quaint atmosphere. Owner was very nice, made the rounds of every table a couple times while we where there. At one point he passed out roses to all the ladies in the place. Our waiter was extremely nice and very attentive. Sorry I can't remember his name, think it started with a J. Very family friendly atmosphere. Food was excellent. I had chicken marmalade and she had the chicken parm. Would highly recommend for date night or family get together.

My husband and I celebrated our 35th anniversary at dolce, and had an incredible evening. I wanted escargot and this was one of the few places in the valley to serve it. I was not disappointed. I am accustomed to getting six to eight snails, but there had to at least 20. So good. My husband’s favorite is Cioppino and he was not disappointed. Ernesto the owner, and Nora our server were extremely attentive to ensure we had an enjoyable evening. We have already figured out our next meal selection because we will absolutely go again.

In a world of chains, this place is a legit local business. The service tops anything you've experienced...attentive, charismatic, and friendly. The owner was there working the room...taking the time to tell stories and background of the pictures adorning the wall. The food was clearly homemade. While it could use a little seasoning and refinement, I was so happy with the pasta and the cook on the salmon and chicken. Enjoyed the rustic minestrone and the housemate tiramsu. The flourless chocolate cake was a bit heavy so best shared with 2-3 people. While I wish the wine by the glass selections was more robust, the bottles were were very reasonable and looked enticing.

We had a craving for Italian and Dolce Vino is just down the road located, like many restaurants now, in a strip mall. The decor inside is very neutral. Not Buca over the top or Nonna's kitchen homey, it could be any moderate restaurant except for the large piano in the corner and bar across from the entrance. There was an elderly gentleman singing standards by the piano and we were seated directly in front of him at first. Our server/bartender quickly moved us to a quieter table near the back. For a wine bar, the wine menu was a bit light, but we selected a very drinkable Tempranillo, Viña Temprana. The food menu has the basics, nothing spectacular or unique. We always try the Calamari when it's on a menu. This one was not my favorite. I like the rings and tentacles with a flour/corstarch/baking powder batter. This was more of a tempura-like batter on steaks/fingers with not much flavor, although cooked perfectly. The soups, Minestrone and Clam Chowder, that came with our entrees also had very mild flavor, but a decent amount of vegetables. The Manicotti had a very nice, bright marinara and was generously filled with cheese, although we sort of expected a meat sauce like many Italian American restaurants have. My build your own rigatoni/sausage/pesto was another miss. It first came out with red sauce, that our sever had corrected in under 3 minutes. Unfortunately that didn't help the dish. The sausage was sliced discs with no caramelization and the pesto was dull and overly oily. The highlight of the meal was the flourless chocolate cake. It was dense, with a deep fudge and dark chocolate flavor, everything I would expect. I would come back in the future for affordable, drinkable wine and dessert, but skip the entree.
