Absolutely amazing experience at La Dolce Vita! The food was out of this world — every bite was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The service was just as impressive. Our waitress, Rachel, was incredibly attentive and friendly, and one of the owners, Susan, treated us like old friends. It’s rare to find a place that nails both food and hospitality, but they absolutely did. Highly, highly recommend!
