We have been coming to this restaurant over 15 years and it is consistently wonderful! The food is authentic and made with only the freshest ingredients. It is a very small and intimate restaurant. The owner is typically there and very warm and welcoming. All the servers are professional and knowledgeable. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $100+

Thank you, Nanette! Fifteen years of visits, that’s practically a family tradition, and we love it. We’re so glad Dolce Italia continues to deliver authentic Italian flavors, fresh ingredients, and that warm, welcoming vibe. It’s guests like you who make our little spot in Sarasota feel like home, and we can’t wait to share many more memorable meals (and maybe a few laughs) with you in the years to come!

First time at the establishment & it won’t be our last. Service: 5* all the way. Patrick & Mathew really make you feel at home. Food: Just what I expected, excellent. Tried the house spaghetti, with sausage and it exceeded expectation. Don’t let the size of the restaurant fool you the place was clean & well organized. What are you waiting for, go get yourself an excellent Italian dinner. Patrick, thanks for great service. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $40–50 Parking space: Plenty of parking Parking options: Free of charge parking lot

Thank you so much, Ron! We’re so glad your first visit to Dolce Italia hit all the right notes, from Patrick and Matthew making you feel at home to that house spaghetti with sausage stealing the show. Cozy doesn’t mean compromising on flavor or service, and it sounds like you felt that firsthand. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon for another round of delicious Italian goodness in Sarasota!
