Little Italy has quickly become one of my favorite areas to eat in Cleveland because of places like La Dolce Vita. The ambience here is very welcoming, exactly how you'd expect from a family owned Italian restaurant. The owner, Terry, came up to our table and made sure everything was up to par. He also made sure we got a complimentary dessert for one of our birthdays.
The appetizers we ordered, Baked Meatballs and Caprese, were DELICIOUS. Everything was obviously fresh and made on the spot. For dinner, I ordered the lentil soup while the rest of the table ordered pizzas. The soup was great, but the pizza was even better. Perfectly sized, a perfect cheese to sauce ratio, and a delicious crust made the pizza amazing. The dessert, a tiramisu with mascarpone cheese and strawberry and chocolate drizzle, was the perfect ending to our meal.
La Dolce Vita has everything you look for in a family owned Italian restaurant: friendly atmosphere, great service, and delicious food. I will definitely take another trip here when I'm in Little Italy.
