Made to feel very welcome, relaxed atmosphere and attentive staff who made great recommendations. Great food and drinks, thanks very much, will be back.
Gorgeous food and friendly, attentive staff. We had the set menu of pear and blue cheese salad, mushroom royale, Tuscan chicken and haddock and chips. Genuinely the best food we have tasted in a long time. Well done to the chefs. Highly recommended.
6 friends enjoyed lunch of £20 for 2 courses or £25 for 3 courses.
Pate and mussels were nice, Tuscan chicken was very tasty, as was the Bakewell tart with ice cream, all washed down with a nice pint of draft Guinness. My wife said her lasagne was the best she’s ever tasted. Friendly staff.
First visit in many years and leaving very impressed. Food was stunning, high quality, beautifully presented and packed full of flavour. A great selection of quality wine and good vegetarian menu options. We look forward to returning soon.
Dolce Vita is one of, if not the best restaurant in ainsdale right now. I went with my family for a leaving do meal for myself and my partner and was very impressed. The food was exceptional. Especially the lasagna and Carne Pizza. Staff are immensely helpful, as well the owners helping out and conversing with customers. Lovely people. Will be coming again.
