We had the pleasure of dining at La Dolce Vita on a Monday evening at the dinner did not disappoint. The owner Terry is very passionate about food, service, culture and wine.
We started off the meal with an off menu dish of Farro which is a food composed of grains and wheat species. In Italian cuisine, Farro is sometimes, but not always distinguished as faro grande, farro medio and faro piccolo. The dish had a beautiful bouquet of garlic that came from the ramps. This is a North American species of wild onions. Just fantastic!
The seafood with risotto and the veal dishes were just delicious and spot on. We enjoyed a beautiful bottle of Cesari 2010 Amarone della Valpolicella. My suggestion was to decant it because it is just a fantastic and complex wine.
The meal and the and owner taking pride in his food and service made the evening memorable. I look forward to my next visit to La Dolce Vita! Carry on!
