    Good but not for the price. Standard Italian food.. nothing special. With so many Italian restaurants in the Detroit area, they need to up their game.

    Took about 25 minutes to be waited on but once we were the service and food was great! Couldnt recommend the Calamari and Tenderloin Tips enough. The drinks were great as well, you wont need more than 2.

    This was my first time at La Dolce Vita. Valentines Day is also my birthday. My biggest disappointment was feeling rushed through the courses. I was half way through my salad when our entrees came. I wanted to take my time since it was a special occasion. I also didn’t realize the menu was going to be limited on Valentines Day. Other than that the food was great, ambiance was excellent. I’ll definitely be back, it just felt like our server was ready to leave for the night.

    Limited menu on Valentine’s Day and the chefs weren’t very accommodating. It felt like they were rushing to turn tables over. Will not be back on a holiday.

    I hadn’t been here in a while because last time the service was so slow and we never saw our waitress. This time we had a fabulous, attentive waiter and the food was wonderful.
