Excellent Restaurant

Had an excellent meal with family on Friday 5th May 2023. The food, atmosphere, service was superb. Nothing was too much trouble, the waiting on staff very attentive and courteous. The new owner came out and introduced himself, a true scouser with an endearing sense of humour. We would highly recommend this restaurant and will certainly be back
Friendly Team and Amazing Food! Perfect!
Emma S
We dined here for a family members 60th birthday. We were a large booking of 12 with accessible needs for some members and they couldn’t be more accommodating and helpful. The food was AMAZING! The Calamari was so fresh and the Surf and Turf was perfect. Real Italian thin pizza’s too so the kids were happy! The waiting on and front of house staff were so friendly and interacted with everyone on the table so personably. We can’t thank the team enough for how special they made the evening!
Dolce Vita knocks other restaurants out of the park

Went here for breakfast with my brother and my son! Very warm welcome! Catered for my son (coeliac) and provided him with the most amazing full english gluten free breakfast! Absolutely stunning food and surroundings! Staff could not have been more attentive and the manager even came over to say hello! In a word, superb!
Lovely, Warm and Friendly Atmosphere!
Emilia M
Such a warm, lovely atmosphere here! The staff are extremely friendly and kind and very accommodating! I had the Sunday dinner which was by far the nicest roast I’ve had at a restaurant – everything was hot and full of flavour! The desserts were also to die for, definitely recommend if you’re in the area!
