Dolce Ristorante - Charlotte

Giving this place a 4 out of 5 only because of price to be honest and I typically don?t base ratings on price at all. But, a basic pasta dish $25? And veal with no side pasta for $30? And if you want to add a side pasta it?s $8? Pasta cost me 25 centsand I cannot imagine what a restaurant pays. Really good food, but, not sure I can be any kind of a regular for those prices.The place is not high end at all as well. Everyone was very nice and spoke to the owner who was also nice! But again, this ispurely price for what you get. $50 bucks a head with tip and no alcohol? Not even a beer? Is very high. Wanted to leave 5 out of5, but, wanted to make sure before anyone goes, that they look at the menu before they get a surprise

The food was delicious. I wasn?t planning on finishing the whole dish, but I did because the food was really good and well-seasoned (unlike other Italian restaurants where I found their pasta dishes to be way too salty). The atmosphere was veryhomey ? the kind of atmosphere that you get when you dine in a local restaurant in Italy where the food is cooked with theowner?s grandma?s recipe. Our server was welcoming and hilarious. He made our time there really fun ??

We went here for my father in laws birthday. This is one of our favorite Italian restaurants in town. The bread is always so light and fluffy. The tuscan white bean dip they serve with the bread is very good. We ordered the lasagna, sorrento andbolognese, all with homemade pasta. You can taste the love that goes into each bite. It had the perfect amount of sauce andseasoning. Everything tastes great and is the perfect amount. Since it was his birthday, we all got a glass of prosecco and hegot a slice or tiramisu. I would absolutely go back again.

Rita outdid herself yet again! Portions were a good size. Extremely fresh ingredients, especially the calamari, everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Not dry at all, chicken and veal dishes were tender and juicy. Desserts amazing -it was hard to pick a favorite! The stuffed mushrooms and the meatballs are excellent. Dolce is a must try for sure!

We have been to this restaurant time and again and have never been disappointed. We were there as a group of 8. We had timely service. We had David waiting on us. He did a great job describing the specials, suggesting the wines, and attending to ourevery request. Our stuffed mushroom appetizer was good. The freshly made in house pasta took each dish to a new level ofexcellence. I had the special of the day: fresh pasta with shrimp, crab and lobster in a creamy sauce with sun dried tomatoesand spinach. It was perfection. I?ve never had a better pasta dish. Compliments to the chef. My husband ordered the chickenParmesan which he loved, though it could have used a little more sauce. Everyone in our group was very happy with their choices.Dolce Osteria will continue to be our favorite Italian restaurant in the Dilworth area.
