    We have been coming to Cancun and dining at La Dolce Vita since 1993, before it moved from the lagoon to downtown. We have brought family & friends there, and everyone raves about it and it is the first place they ask to go. We have been there twice these past two weeks. The owner, Juan Carlos, & the waiters are always there with a warm, welcome greeting. The food & wine & service are superb.. better than where we live in S Florida, and better than we have had in Italy. Do not miss this wonderful place. You will be looking forward to returning. Also, it is right on the bus route.

    The food and ambience was fantastic! Miguel, our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The wine list is impressive. We appreciated the sommelier’s recommendation. The remodeling was done very tastefully to keep with the original feel of La Dolce Vita!

    This was our 2nd time in 2 weeks that we visited La dolce Vita. It was 32 years ago we first discovered this restaurant. We so enjoyed it the last time we were here, that we wanted to return. It was even better, if that could be. Food, service is exceptional. Everyone makes you feel so welcome. Quito, Berta, Miguel, Ramon, and the owner stopped by our table to introduce himself and personally thank us. Thanks so much for making us feel so welcome. Hopefully it won't be another 32 years.
