Caffe Dolce Vita Restaurant Review

: There are many restaurants that promise a taste of the good life epitomized by European café society: Caffe Dolce Vita actually delivers. Located on Federal Hill’s DePasquale Plaza, this is a transcendent place to linger over an alfresco meal on a hot summer evening, but even in the dead of December we feel transported, Vespa-like, to the streets of Italy. The faux-Modernist décor is appealing without being pretentious --- it’s a good setting for a glass of Chianti, a shared salad and house-made garlic bread, and main courses of homemade ravioli and linguine Bolognese. What’s especially sweet about Caffe Dolce Vita is that it offers three meals a day: try the waffles Foster for breakfast and the three-course, $14.95 fixed-price lunch, then dare yourself to make it back for dinner. If not, just opt for dessert instead --- some imported gelato, perhaps, or the "secret-recipe" tiramisu or cannoli. The food-sated can retire comfortably upstairs to the boutique Hotel Dolce Villa or walk it off on always-entertaining Atwells Avenue, the heart of Italian Providence.
