Welcome to La Dolce Vita Bistro - “The Sweet Life,” a restaurant and bistro created to recapture the bell-époque charm of “The Italian Drug,” opened here by Dr. Anthony Caruso in 1914. In the tradition of the great European bistros, La Dolce Vita is devoted to providing a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for everything from eight course dinners to coffee and Calvino. We strive to prepare the perfect meal, or the perfect cappuccino, and let you enjoy it at your leisure. Our pasta is cooked fresh to order, our sauces and dressing are painstakingly prepared using only the finest ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, the freshest vegetables, imported whole tomatoes, fresh basil and Italian parsley... and your table is reserved for the evening.

    One of our most favorite Italian Restaurants on the Westside. From Apps to Entrees to Desserts, EVERYTHING is delicious! We opted on this visit to share a few things because we could not decide on any one thing.....so glad we did! Hostess was very nice and seated us immediately upon arrival (for our reservation which we strongly recommend) and our Server Sarah (that we requested) was wonderful as always in making our dining experience really wonderful after a long day of activity. She is delightfully nice and wonderfully efficient pacing our dining experience perfectly. Even though the restaurant was rockin' Manager Stacie stopped by for a brief "hello" and its so nice to know with all the dining choices out there that an establishment continues to make you feel your business is important to them.
