A nice Italian restaurant in a not so nice neighborhood, quiet, intimate, romantic, good service, good food but not great food, chicken parmigiano was a little bland, tried lemon cake for dessert, it was tasty but a little dry, server was great, attentive but not intrusive, prices are fair at 20-35 per person for appetizers, entree, and dessert with wine, good place to visit if an independent Italian restaurant is your thing. 4 stars and recommended.

Nice hidden gem. Didn’t know I would enjoy it so much. Good food and service. Very unassuming from the outside but great atmosphere on the inside.

We just had the best time at dinner, originally went to celebrate a graduation and we were met with a like performance and amazing service. Top shelf wines and the most delicious food. If we lived here we could go to dinner at least once a week. It is truly a family and it is seen in the food, wine and music. Thank you

We drove half an hour because this restaurant was highly recommended. 6 of us had a delicious dinner, drinks and dessert, but the thing we talked about afterwards was the service and attentive owner. Both our waiter and the owner joked with us and made sure that we enjoyed our night. We will definitely return to this restaurant!

Lasagna and manicotti, side of meatballs dinner salads with blue cheese and blue cheese crumbles, really liked the radish, croutons would be cool. Food was to go an hour before closing. Piping hot plenty of sauce, fresh parmesan, not packets, fantastic texture for the pasta and the best to go tins with cardboard lids, no plastic yay! Food was easy honest 5 star. Staff was friendly, looking forward to wine tasting last Wednesday of the month.. they need someone to pay the piano they have. Anyone somebody

Came here for lunch. Lunch is from 11-3pm. Not many people but it's quiet and have some music playing. It looks nice and fancy inside. They give you complementary bread & butter. I got the chicken parmigiana. Wish there was more pasta with it. My sister got a pepperoni pizza. The pepperoni tasted abit spicy. My brother got the Italian sandwich, it comes with a side of pasta. Also you can add or soup for 2.50. He got a salad with ceaser dressing.

I had an amazing birthday celebration at Dolce Vino! Our server was incredibly sweet, and the atmosphere was so much fun with live jazz music. The food was absolutely delicious. The only downside was that our bottle of white wine wasn't kept chilled but it didn’t ruin our experience. I highly recommend this hidden gem – I can’t wait to go again!
