| - La Dolce Vita can be considered as one of those classic Italian restaurants, with a bit of an upscale flair. Rustic italian in theme, they've been serving fine dishes for decades in the city.
Fresh made pasta and sauces, attentive service and more importantly, a heck of a wicked tiramisu, all of these are simply outstanding. And as for fresh, well, just like Rouge Restaurant, this place grows their own herbs and vegetables specifically for the dinners. There's farm to plate, and then there's the back yard to plate. Can't get any better unless you're actually IN the garden.
The menu is structured very much like a classic full italian dinner, though you do have the choice of just having a dish from here or there. There's the appetizer, then the pasta then the first entree, then the second and finally dessert, and if you've never been to a traditional dinner before, it's a hell of a meal. Of my favorites, the ravioli dishes and the veal... simply sublime, tender enough to cut with a fork and totally stunning to the palate. Oh, and in case if I didn't say it enough before... TIRAMISU!
Just a quick word, this is the original resto I'm the ground floor, not to be confused with their LDV Pizzaria on the second floor. That place I'll review another day, a pizza place opened by the La Dolce Vita owners based on Neopolitan pizza to appeal to a younger audience.
