Editorial Review for Dolce Enoteca e Ristorante – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Designer Dodd Mitchell (Falcon, Katana) created a sweeping, slick space using black leather accents and marble-cube columns. Oversized booths in the dimly lit room and tables on the cypress-lined patio host a mix of young actors, neighborhood locals and the occasional celebrity. First-courses include calamari, and shrimp and zucchini fried in a crisp garbanzo-flour coating. For entrees, there are Gorgonzola risotto, prime rib with roasted potatoes and grilled branzino. A popular dessert is the ricotta cheese custard.

Insider Tips
Where to SitAsk for a table near a booth or on the patio. The tables in front of the small bar get too crowded with onlookers.

When to GoA DJ spins lounge-y, ambient music starting at 10pm.
The ExtrasEvery Tuesday is panini night, where sandwich-lovers can taste pressed paninis from the special menu, with everything from seafood to potato fillings.

FYI, Dolce and their affiliated restaurants cut costs by filling top shelf liqour bottles with lower end stuff. But of course they still charge over $10 a drink.
Cons: overpriced popov vodka

Amazing food and a great ambiance! We called in the early afternoon Saturday to make reservations for that night. They had a 7:15 left and a 9:30 so we took the 9:30. We weren’t familiar with the crazy LA traffic and we were 25 minutes late. I called to let them know and they said no problem. When we arrived the restaurant was fairly busy. I loved the low lighting and candles all over the place. Dolce has wonderful food! We ordered the pesto gnocchi appetizer and the pesto sauce was out of this world! Then I ordered a raspberry martini which was delicious and I'm normally not a big fan of martinis. I had chicken piccata for dinner and it was delicious! My husband ordered veal and he loved it! The crème Brule is superb! I really can’t say one bad thing about this place. Even the service is great. All our food arrived quickly. Our waitress accidentally dropped a fork on my foot and she brought us free fruity shots to apologize. You definitely can't go wrong here and this will be a place I visit every time I am in L.A!
Pros: The pesto gnocchi is amazing!
Cons: None that I can think of!
