It was my mother's 50th birthday so we decided to go to Little Italy for lunch and ended up at La Dolce Vita. We ordered the calamari for an app and it was very tasty. We all ordered a different pasta dish and each dish was uniquely delicious. What wowed us was the owner came over chatted with us & then brought over 2 huge portions of gnocchi with pesto and then linguini with a wonderful sauce on top of it. On the hous,not even knowing it was my mother's birthday. The owner was so kind to us as was our server. We enjoyed our time there so much. We will definitely be back for some more divine pasta dishes
