If you can't go to Italy, go to Little Italy.
My love is Italian, and for his birthday celebration this year I decided to treat him to some Italian food. Now, I'm not a huge Italian diner and so he is gracious with me and rarely demands I go get Italian food with him. So upon this special occasion we entreated to La Dolce Vita.
Stepping in the front door I immediately felt transported to another world. I felt like I was on vacation in a quaint little Italian town. Posters of opera and opera singers along with a random mixture of art litter the walls.
Our server was very astute and answered all of our questions. He even overheard me wishing my man a Happy Day and upon the completion of our meal brought out a mini-tiramisu for him.
Oh the wine list, it was magnifico. Do go and get a bottle...or two...or three and sit, laugh, love and talk the night away.
The veal was the pick of my partner, and oh it melted in your mouth. I had a standard pasta dish, not thrilling in any way, but a nice dish all the same.
La Dolce Vita is great for night out. Sit, relax, and enjoy your surroundings and a little bit of Italy.
