“ We were walking down Station Road and this afternoon and noticed a bar had opened up outside Dolce Vita. With it being a nice sunny day we thought it would be a good idea to try out this new bar so we bought a couple of drinks and sat at one of the outside tables. It was quite pleasant to sit there and watch the world go by. Service was quick and the staff were very attentive. Very tempted by the smell of the food coming out of the restaurant but unfortunately had already eaten. Will have to return and try out the food. ”

“ We had a table of 35 people for a 90th birthday meal. The staff where incredible they had everything under way and was very organised. They kept drinks filled and organised meal times perfectly. They where friendly and helpful and deserve a medal for serving a table so large without a hiccup. The food was perfect really tasty and one of the best spaghetti gamberonis I have had. I also had the calamari which can be touch and go but it was cooked perfectly. Really soft as it should be. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for the perfect Italian. ”
“ We found Dolce Vita by accident as we went to Ainsdale on impulse. The lunchtime set menu was very compelling. As it was a sunny day, we sat in the sun lounge and enjoying watching life go by. The food was excellent and very good value and the service was also very good. Both my wife and I can thoroughly recommend the Italian meatballs as a starter. ”
