Welcome to La Dolce Vita Bistro - “The Sweet Life,” a restaurant and bistro created to recapture the bell-époque charm of “The Italian Drug,” opened here by Dr. Anthony Caruso in 1914. 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. Our pasta is cooked fresh to order, our sauces and dressing are painstakingly prepared using only the finest ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, the freshest vegetables, imported whole tomatoes, fresh basil and Italian parsley... and your table is reserved for the evening.

    Our meals were unbelievably good. We both opted for Chef Dante's Tasting menu and each of the five courses served were delicious. Service was outstanding. Our server along with the other team members made us feel welcome and truly created a memorable evening for us. Highly recommend Dante especially for special occasions.

    The food, ambiance, and service was exceptional. There was only one item that was sub par and needs to be addressed to have a remarkable experience. By arriving to a virtually nonexistent valet, the evening started off on the wrong foot. Fortunately, the rest of the evening made up for this. Because of the parking situation, I'd be hesitant to return on a busy night.
