"I am well overdue writing this review which has been hanging over me as Dolce Vita went the extra, extra mile for us and hosted the best hen party for my friend! I 'm sure as many people planning hens have come across it is hard booking a private venue/area to have dinner for a price per head and this can get tricky if people understandably need to pull out etc and the price goes up for everyone (and so on and so on. Also, a base cost to hire is often very expensive!! Anyway, I called Dolce Vita to enquire that if we were to arrive late enough on a Saturday, we might be able to hire an area of the restaurant, and also asked if we could bring a drag queen to host! I thought this was a massive long shot, but nothing ventured, nothing gained! To my surprise, the lady I spoke with was very open to the idea and also seemed excited by the prospect! She agreed to a set menu price per head which included a starter and main each and shot of lemoncello and this was very reasonable. She understood that our numbers may change slightly and within reason in the run up, and we locked it all in the week before. The food and drinks were DELICIOUS! Great portions and very reasonably priced, also lots of options for our vegan and gluten free guests. Our drag host then arrived (who was AMAZING and we did a lot of terrible dancing and even worse singing. The staff not only tolerated us but also sang and danced along for some of it which was really fun! They were also very understanding when our 'one more song ' turned into 3.... "

Really nice restaurant food was incredible, the pasta fresh, and the gelato really luxurious. The staff tonight is very nice. If it can't fail, it will definitely be back soon.
Sabrina
large restaurant on the wellfield road, all freshly prepared so that dishes can be made vegan or gluten-free on request. I had the vegano linguine and mango sorbet, both were delicious
Vanesa
A real gem great food, lovely, friendly service, and in a fun and convenient location. The open restaurant front was a boon on a hot day, and felt appropriately continental. Highly recommended.
Andy
Lovely atmosphere and great and friendly service from our waitress who made extra effort to show us the possible vegan options that could be made, and made our night lovely! Will definitely be back
Laura
I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant. The food was amazing, with fresh pasta and luxurious gelato. The staff were also very friendly. I couldn't find any faults and will definitely be returning soon.
Victoria
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is not chic, but the better. So, it's really good, freshly cooked Italian farewell. The prices are also reasonable, and it was a beautiful atmosphere in the small lively room. We'll be safe in the future. Very recommended.
