Dolce Vita Ristorante

Everything was amazing about our experience! My sister and I were looking at the menu posted outside and the owner stepped out and started telling us about the dishes and then he personally wrote us down for a reservation and gave us the best seat, later that night.

We've been coming here for years and are always greeted by Francos smiling face. Dolce Vita us our go-to Italian restaurant each time we visit Boston.

Simply the best. That is all. :)

This place is excellent. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Franco is an entertaining entrepreneur who makes each guest feel special. His staff is second to none. The food is spectacular, and his down to earth style caps the evening off. 5 stars is an insult!

We were staying in the North End and wanted some pasta so we gave it a chance and it was delicious! We had carbonara and stuffed shells and it was very good. We went on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy but we didn’t have to wait for a table. We knew what we wanted so the food came out quickly. We weren’t given any bread but we ordered garlic bread and it was fantastic. The server wasn’t bad or rude but he could have been a little more friendly. The food was reasonably priced but the drinks are super expensive. I had a vodka and soda, it came in a very small glass and it was $14.

Given the choice I would not go back to this restaurant again. As soon as we walked in you could feel a change of atmosphere, if we didn't have a reservation we would have been denied service. We observed the interaction of the waiters with the other patrons and noticed a complete attitude change when approaching our table, I know it wasn't in my head, since they knew we're there to celebrate a birthday and they promised to bring a cake and sing to us at the end as they did for some of the other people . None of that happened. Do you wonder why!! Skin tone my people. The food was agreeable, nothing to rave about, the service was a 3 ⭐ the stuck up attitude a complete bulls#!+

I live in the North end... any time I have a visitor and they want a great restaurant, I take them here. from a few years ago //// I've walked by this place many times and finally went. that was a good decision! they actually have fresh pasta on the menu! many places in the north end do not... and the interior has a very European feel

Love this place. The owner is very friendly and willl make anything you ask and it is always delicious.
