This is one of my favorite restaurants in Ft Lauderdale! For an evening it feels like being transported to Italy. Everything is amazing…. the ambiance, the food, the wine list, the service, the presentation. Fabio and his staff make you feel like family. So when my friend and I decided to throw a Bridal luncheon for my niece, of course this was the only choice. Everything exceeded our expectations and those of our guests. Fabio was hands on choosing the menu and the wines. He offered a prosecco as guests arrived. He worked with us on presentation and seating arrangements. It was perfect! Everyone had a fabulous time and are still talking about the food, wine and service. What made it even more special was having the restaurant all to ourselves for a private party. Thank you to everyone at La Dolce Vita for a memorable afternoon!

What can you say…these people LOVE food and their customers. How great it is when you read reviews as you cross alligator alley and your mouth waters as you move through all the great comments on the homemade pasta, the truffle dishes, the specials, people just raving about the entire experience. This team of professionals gets it, from the moment I walked through the door I was back in little Italy NY. The atmosphere is great,quiet, low key, beautiful surroundings. The service impeccable, sweet, and attentive. And the food….not since my wife’s grandmas homemade Italian dishes have I tasted food like this..just amazing. We had the gnocchi with black truffle, the ravioli with wild mushrooms and black truffle finishing with Tiramisu, wow, and pistachio crusted tartufo. My mouth is still watering!

We came across this restaurant just looking for a real good Italian restaurant! I am Italian and usually prefer just eating at my family’s for dinner, but they are in NJ and I relocated to Fort Lauderdale! Finally found the spot be! It’s a quaint Italian restaurant that is authentic and delicious! Feels like you are in Italy for a moment. We ordered the polenta appetizer and it was heaven in the mouth! Perfecto! I order the special bolognese and my husband ordered the spaghetti with a cream sauce and Italian sausage with truffle. I highly recommend this place. It is clear that all the pasta is housemade! So fresh! Its very personal and the staff is amazing! Thank you Dolce Vita! We will be back with friends! So happy I finally found my favorite Italian here in Fort Lauderdale! Prego! Xoxo coming back for the Branzino special it looked amazing and the table next to me loved it! You cant get anything wrong there! I am sorry I did not take pics because I was too involved with my eating!!!!!!

Due to a recommendation from a friend, my girlfriend and I had dinner last night at La Dolce Vita in Fort Lauderdale. The service was phenomenal and it stood out from the moment we arrived. As we approached the doorway, one of the gentleman at the restaurant opened the door for us and escorted us to our table where he then continued to untucked our chairs for us and hand us menus. The excellent service and ambiance really gives this place an upscale feel. We ordered the soup of the day which was an onion soup and the insalata adriatica for appetizers which were both awesome. Then for our main courses we ordered the Garganelli Alla Bolognese and the Chitarrina La Dolce Vita. Both of these meals were absolutely delicious and had a very fresh taste. After we finished our meals we were both stuffed and so we informed our server that we would skip dessert. About 5 minutes later he returned with a fresh slice of tiramisu and insisted that we try it on the house. Wow!

I come here once a year, every year for 6 years while on vacation. This place is always fantastic. The owners are authentic Italian and they keep the traditions from home alive. The place parking close by and costs 2 dollars to park there. The restaurant is nice and elegant inside, with dimmed lighting. They also have a patio to enjoy the warm Florida nights. The staff is all professional and mostly Italian. Very welcoming and polite. The service is quick, even during busy times. You can call in advance and make a reservation. Make sure you try the burratta cheese, arugula salad, lasagna and truffle ravioli. It is absolutely delicious. The coffee is also perfect and the lemon Cake and tirimisu is also so delicious. This place is consistently amazing every time we go.
