Villa Dolce

It is no secret why this local restaurant has been around for as long as it has. Atmosphere, service, and food and drink creativity and quality all contribute to its well-earned reputation. Best for groups of 4 or less, ideal for couples on a first date or 101st date, the dining area offers a cozy and intimate setting with low noise level. One of our favorite places.

Writing this mainly to let you know: If you're trying to decide between the mushroom ravioli and anything else, get the mushroom ravioli! Best I have EVER EVER had, every bite was amazing! The filling wasn't just mushy cheesy bits of mushroom it was REAL mushrooms and the cream sauce was liquid gold - delicate and flavorful, not too heavy. You can't really go wrong here - everything is SO good - but I also recommend the burrata caprese appetizer - simply incredible. The crab/lemon bruschetta appetizer was good but for five of us, more than 1 was too much and definitely get the burrata. The beet/goat cheese salad I would prefer with not so much arugula - would be lighter and less overpowering to use endive. Another winner here is the shrimp/pasta combos; the shrimp is large and sweet and perfectly grilled here. We weren't super into the lemon mascarpone berry cake for dessert - would choose something else (very heavy and sweet) - the grapefruit and blood orange sorbets were AMAZIN

With that said.  The food can be marginal,  but the service has to be impeccable.  It wasn't even close.  Over all, this place is extremely over rated as an Italian Restaurant, period.  It doesn't even have a p
