In the tradition of the great European bistros, La Dolce Vita is devoted to providing a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for everything from eight course dinners to coffee and Calvino. We strive to prepare the perfect meal, or the perfect cappuccino, and let you enjoy it at your leisure.

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.

This place is really a hidden gem! Great vibe with moody decor, a unique and delicious Latin menu (not "Mexican" food), great drinks and a staff eager to please its customers. Can't wait to go back.
