Dolce Italia - Authentic Italian Restaurant

Little treasure of a restaurant. Definitely recommend a reservation. Our entrees, the Pappardelle with Fried Shrimp special and the Fettuccine Al Pesto Crema (with sausage and pine nuts) were amazing! The service was excellent and the staff was very accommodating. Our waiter gave a recommendation for the perfect wine pairing. Plenty of delicious dessert options.

Our group of 13 had a fantastic dinner at this wonderful restaurant. The sevice was friendly and professional. The food was all served hot, which can be a challenge with a large group.

If we didn’t live 3.5 hours away, we would eat here regularly.

My wife and I had our 1st experience at Dolce after seeing many great reviews. This visit happened to be during Savor Sarasota which had great options and value.

We hosted our engagement party here and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was outstanding, and the staff went above and beyond to cater to our needs. The owner, Matthew, is very personable and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Our guests are still talking about how wonderful it was. Highly recommend for any special occasion or even a great dinner out!

My husband and I visited recently and we had the best time. We were greeted by the owner Matt personally which was a great first impression. We got a great table in the back. We had the caprese salad as an appetizer and I had the snapper fish entree. Both were fantastic. The ambience is perfect. The location is central To everything. We loved everything about our experience! 10/10!
