Wonderful find! We were staying at the Hotel Indigo for the night and wandered across the street for dinner. The melting butter entree was delicious and a very fun presentation. I had the chicken Marsala with risotto (both perfectly cooked & seasoned) while my date’s carbonara was also amazing. The Christmas drink menu is not to be missed either! Great food, service (Dynasty & JoAnne were fantastic!) and ambiance. 10/10!!!
I just want to say thank you so much to Dolce Vita and staff for a wonderful birthday experience yesterday. Got to meet the owner which is rare these days and she was very warm and accommodating to us. Everything was delicious the Chicken Francese alla Limone was savory. The drinks were perfect and the aesthetic was pleasing. First time going but will definitely be back soon with my family. Thanks again and I highly recommend to anyone that wants to take the guess work out of where to eat next.
Listen to me!! My name is Dr. Carrie CeCe Cox, I’m a food service analyst and 40 year caterer. This “IS” the best restaurant in Jacksonville, FL!!! The starters, the main entree’, ALL of the desserts, the service , the atmosphere, the staff were simply AMAZING!! I am an experienced foodie and their bruschetta was phenomenal, perfectly prepared. The tiramisu in the dessert presentation was matchless! Joanna, Anna and Antonio run this well planned dining experience and there is absolutely no reason the entire city should not enjoy this extraordinary dining experience. The exterior area is perfect for their weekend entertainment for any occasion. COME IN AND ENJOY THIS EPIC FAMILY OWNED DINING ENCOUNTER!!
Dolce Vita was such a great experience. From the moment you enter you are greeted by the amazing staff. The waiters are very attentive to their respective tables. We had the pleasure of being assisted by Dynasty who was very knowledgeable about the menu. The theme of the restaurant makes a cute date night or celebration spot. The live jazz music was also amazing.
Today we went to celebrate my birthday at Dolce Vita, it was our first time there. From the first minute we got in we felt very welcomed and the ambiance was awesome. Vlad, the bartender, was amazing! He made sure we get all our food/drinks in time, even though they were under staff. If you haven’t been there yet, you need to go and try their amazing food and drinks. It was a great experience!
