We've eaten dinner here a few times and loved it, but always forgot to write a review. Lunch there the other day reminded me to write one. First lunch. We had a hoagie and a sausage and peppers, both excellent. They were made on what they called bread, basically small loafs sliced widthwise and toasted perfectly. My bar for rolls is Amoroso, these are nothing like them but better if you can believe it. No way I could eat the entire thing at once. Dinners have been uniformly excellent. You get garlic knots even before drinks. Everything we've had has been very good, and they make some of the best Alfredo I've had. Very healthy portions. If you go around Christmas, they do a very nice job decorating the place. It's worth going just to see that. This place is worth going out of your way for!

I've been here twice and both times we were impressed with the quality and flavor of the food. Parking is the only downside to this place but even if you have to park further down the street it's not a very long walk. My husband and I shared the lasagna the first time, which again had so much flavor. Best I've had. This past time he got a meatball sandwich and I chose the pierogie and broccoli cheddar bite apps as my meal. You can taste that these are made from scratch. Beautiful decorations inside. The lights gave my niece the inspiration to get a fairy light curtain for her dorm. Definitely worth checking out this gem when in the area.

I had heard about this place by my brother and sister-in-law who recommended it. I am new to the area of Coaldale. My mother and nephew live here and I am staying with them for a bit. Heading back west. I was hoping to experience a decent Italian grubbery without having to drive to either Hoboken, NJ or NYC. As I'm from that area I have a definite knowledge of good Italian. Dolce is conveniently across from a Wells Fargo - so needing an ATM is not a problem. Parking could be a challenge as the parking - from what I could see is meter parking. When you walk in you see a very nice decor. It's very festive. There are plenty of seating - and I believe there is also a second floor. There are lights everywhere. It's very nice and soothing. The tables are nicely spaced. And there is outside seating for parties of two or one. I wouldn't try sitting outside if your party is larger than 3. The staff was very nice. Very attentive. We were seated immediately and given menus. The server can by within a few minutes and took our drink orders. We ordered the Fries Combination for appetizer - it wasn't anything to crow about. There was no garnish on the plate and the few things on it were very small. I wouldn't refer it again as it just didn't look right. We got some garlic bread knots which were very tasty. When my nephew asked about more - the server mentioned we were getting bread with our dinners but didn't say anything about the knots. We would've paid for the second order. We got our salads and those were decent. Each person enjoyed it. They only serve Creamy Italian and we're not offered oil and vinegar. We hadn't finished our salads and the server brought out the entrees. I HATE THAT! The other people eating made some room on the table - but I refused. I had her take the order back and keep it warm. Anyone working at any dinner restaurant should know to NEVER bring out the main course until AFTER the salads are eaten. It a trigger point for me. It makes me feel rushed and it was an early table on a Tuesday - there was no rush. Food orders was Shrimp Scampi with Linguini - pasta was cooked perfectly. The sauce was light on lemon and seasoning. The shrimp were good I ordered the eggplant Parmesan which was okay. The cheese used was sliced mozzarella - which I thought strange as they use shredded for their pizzas? I also order a side of sausage 1 which came sliced in marinara sauce. It was okay. The sausage was different. Again. Okay. vodka Penne was ordered by another person and my nephew had the Spaghetti & Meatballs. He enjoyed it. After dinner we were not asked if we wanted a coffee or espresso. No dessert was offered. The server was nice. She really was. I think it's the training. At least I'm hoping it was. If I go back I'll try some other items. I need to say this - the sauce...gravy...was very good!! Really good. The place is clean and inviting. If you're in the area make this a spot you frequent. Bring quarters for the meters. And let your server know you want the meal paced and not rushed. Enjoy!!

2/16/24 I'm an elated customer, what else can I say? Consistent 5 Star Service and Food! Decorations still up until the end of February. Alfie knows how to execute food out of the kitchen with efficiency without sacrificing quality. This is REAL Italian cooking at its finest. Top quality ingredients! You'll never leave hungry- the value is there all day long! You'll get at least two- maybe three meals out of a pasta entree. I tried the shrimp scampi- it was fantastic. Husband had Seafood Pescatore and the seafood was heaped on the plate. You won't be disappointed! Lots of Lenten Options too!
