    Always love spending the evening at La Dolce Vita! I think you need one of those entryway door protectors. The cold wind outside came right inside…and it was really cold! Otherwise, a beautiful night. Can’t wait to return.

    We had THE BEST experience at Ken Stewart’s Tre Belle tonight. Chef Brian went above and beyond to make our occasion even more special. The table side pasta was exquisite, and everything was perfect, from our wine and appetizers, through our entree, down to the chocolate mousse dessert. Our server, Jack, was also perfectly attentive and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience.

    All four of us went to dinner before seeing a show at Playhouse Square. The service was top shelf and the food was excellent. We were eating off each other’s plate because it ALL looked so good. 😊 our waitress was beyond impressive; in fact the whole staff was in excellent form. This is our 8th or 10th visit this year and they never disappoint. Bravo 👏!
