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!

Wow what an incredible restaurant! Couldn’t be happier finding this place and trying it out. It’s been on my list of places to try for around a year already and so glad I finally came. The service was incredible. Christian and Fabio were amazing hosts, also had great service from Augustina. The polenta was delicious, the octopus was great as well. Highly recommend the carbonara pasta and their signature dish dolce vita. Looking forward to coming back.

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!

Food., wine, and atmosphere was great . But the staff was the most amazing. We were greeted as welcomed guests, no pressure to over order, witnessed a very drunk 1st time patron at the bar and the staff handled it perfectly. But I walked out without my pocketbook and the fabulous waiter walked the streets to find me. We were flying home the next morning and the restaurant closes on Sunday so it would have been a disaster. Thank you to my friend who also shared the secret to the amazing chicken dish. We try to make it once or twice a year to Fort Lauderdale and will 100% be back.

Coming from New York where we’re known for the best Italian cuisine, I was pleasantly surprised and felt right at home at La Dolce Vita. This restaurant came highly recommended, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. 10/10 food, service and atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back to La Dolce Vita.

I love this little spot. It’s been around forever and updates are minimal. As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted in Italian and made to feel like family. The food is excellent. Pasta is handmade in house and melts in your mouth. Great prices on wine and food alike. Highly recommend for quality, Italian food.
