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!

Editor's Review

Sleek Italian restaurant briefly reigned as the quintessential celeb hot spot, but is now accessible to all.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

Ask for a table near a booth or on the patio. The tables in front of the small bar get too crowded with onlookers.
