Dolce Vita

Dolce Vita

pizzeria enoteca

-------------------------------------------

Dolce Vita, an italian restaurant located in the heart of Montrose offers a variety of pizzas and pastas for lunch, dinner and brunch. The last time we came here, it was last year. The image we had about its service and food were totally different to what we have to say this time. Sadly to say it, but Dolce Vita is not the same Dolce Vita we used to go. 

The ambience was perfect during the lunch time. It was quiet, and It was not busy when we got there, but later, a few parties showed up. However, we cannot say the same about the customer service or the food. 

The first fail was when we walked in. We never got greeted by the hostess or asked where we would prefer to be seated. We just made eye contact, she asked us how many would be and then she started walking upstairs, so figured out we had to follow her. Once we got to the second floor, she started having a conversation with one of the waitress while we were waiting behind her. After a minute, she turned around, and told us to pick any table. She never walked us to the table or bring the menus to us. 

Once seated, we got a waitress who looked bored with her job. She knew the menu very well, but all the time we asked for recommendations she would make faces or make the moment uncomfortable. Even though she had the wrong attitude with us,  the only good thing about the waitress was her several visits to the table to make sure everything was fine.

Probably because of the ambience, we did not have a terrible experience, but heartbrokenly, Dolce Vita would not be our first option to dine in even though they have amazing pizzas. Although, if you have not been to Dolce Vita, we recommend you to stop by and try their pizzas, but cocoeaters be aware of the customer services at Dolce Vita.

Verdura

mushrooms with mint and ricotta rosa

-------------------------------------------

When we read mushrooms and ricotta we knew we had to have it. Unfortunately, we had higher expectations of this verdura. 

This appetizer does not come with bread, so we ate it as it came; just the ricotta with the mushrooms, but it was missing something; the bread! 

We asked for some bread (which had an extra charge) and it was exactly what this appetizer needed to be tasteful.

Crochette Suppli

risotto and mozzarella

-------------------------------------------

This starter was a suggestion from the waitress, and it was not nothing special at all. We did not get any special taste or flavor from this appetizer. 

Adding a sauce for this starter may help to make it a little bit fun and delectable.

Dish: 2.5/5

Pasta 

maccheroni, prosciutto, peas and scallions

-------------------------------------------

Dolce vita is a place for pizza. Even when we used to visit this place last year, we never had good experiences with the pastas at Dolce Vita. 

We ordered this pasta because it comes with prosciutto, but we did not notice the prosciutto on it. It had a strong taste of peas which was not enjoyable at all. 

We could not finish this dish.

Pizza Prosciutto e Rucola

tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula

-------------------------------------------

Dolce Vita equals pizza. The pizza prosciutto e rucola had an excellent savory of the tomato sauce, toasted thin crust and fresh ingredients.

We highly recommend this pizza at Dolce Vita.
