What a Great Find! 5 Star Rating - World class

Just ate there with six people after walking by and thinking it looked interesting. What a find! We tried lots of dishes -- menu was very creative ("nuovo Italian" or Pacific NW Italian) with fresh ingredients, great preparation, superp service and a good, high value wine lis to boot. Sometimes in life, luck is with you and you find a great restaurant by accident. Tonight was our night -- we lived in San Francisco for 8 years, and this place would do very well there.

Best Head Chef, great service, delicious food 5 Star Rating - World class

We had heard that Twain was becoming head chef and we had to try it! We were Twain fan's at the former restaurant he was employed at. He was his usual creative self as he prepared a fantastic white wild King Salmon special, not what you would expect at an Italian restaurant, It was delicious. The food, ambiance, and personal attention was outstanding.
We will definately be back again soon!

Pros: Food, Ambience, personal attention
Cons: parking

Italian Food Done Right 5 Star Rating - World class

Once I'm home from work, I don't much like getting out in the freezing rain to drive around downtown looking for a new restaurant. My wife does though, so off we went to find La Dolce Vita.

Well... I'm happy to say that it was well worth the drive. These guys do Italian right!! From the warm ambience to the friendly service, to the amazing food, this joint gets high marks from me all the way around.

I orderd a lemon chicken dish which was the best I've ever had. The presention was fun and fresh without being over the top and the prices were quite resonable. The appetizers came quickly and were fantastic. Even the sorbet/white chocolate dessert was unique and delicious.

Minutes from Key Arena this place is a fantastic find. Great job guys!

Pros: Fantastic all the way around
Cons: Sure to get way too busy once people get wind of this place

What a Great Italian Restaurant! 5 Star Rating - World class

I love this place! It's hard to find phenomenal Italian food in Seattle, because...well...we're a long way from Italy! We stumbled upon La Dolce Vita for the first time, and I couldn't be happier with it. They have obviously payed a lot of attention to the details, from the decor to the dessert. I had a fantastic halibut dish, with some homemade pasta with the best marinara sauce I've ever had. The dinner was finished with a sorbet dessert that was out of this world. I highly recommend this place; Seattle is lucky to have them.

Pros: Authentic food perfectly seasoned, Service is amazing, Quality
