Melt in the mouth carpaccio with parmesan and rocket was my starter, my husband had a suberb twist on bruschetta - great start to the meal. Main courses were perfect - fillet of beef with red wine and onion, and chicken with sweetcorn (and popcorn, don't laugh it really went well!), braised lettuce and figs. A tiramisu and cheese platter... More

This was my second visit to the restaurant for Lunch and my Mother's third visit. We had a wonderful, relaxing lunch and were made to feel very welcome. Amazingly the Chef remembered my Mother and as her faviorate dish had been taken off the menu as it was not so popular the Chef made the dish especially for her. We... More

Had dinner here midweek. This is a small restaurant run by a family team with genuine love of Italian food. The service was immpecable, with fantastic input from the kitchen. The menu was refreshingly short but with sufficient choice for all tastes between a variety of pasta dishes and tasty roast meats. The food is good without any fine dining... More

This was the second time we had been to La Dolce Vita when staying in Shrewsbury and it was just as good as we remembered it. As soon as we walked through the door we were given a friendly welcome. The service was excellent, describing the dishes and giving recommendations and I have to say the food was a delight.... More

This was our second visit to La Dolce Vita in Shrewsbury for lunch. The food is truly delicious and very reasonably priced. Luigi waits on table whilst Patricia and their son work in the kitchen although Patricia does serve some of the dishes and makes you feel very welcome as does Luigi. Relaxing Italian music is playing in the background... More

I booked a table for Saturday at 8.15pm, but had the audacity to arrive early, at 7.45. On arrival, the front of house manager said "O, O, you had better go and sit down" pointing us to the table, not a particularly welcoming start to an evening out! He pointed to the the table, and we sat down... When you... More

Dear Sir Many thanks for your comments which I have thought over very well before responding. Not operating sittings in our restaurant, we have never had a problem with our guests arriving early and having a drink before dinner, the table is yours for as long as you wish, we do however have a problem with guests arriving 35 minutes...

At short notice my wife and I decided to stay overnight Sunday evening in Shrewsbury. As we did not want to spend too much time looking around for a restaurant (more beer time!) visited our tried and tested Tripadvisor site for tips. Hit home again! Booking was no problem presumably as it was a Sunday at the end of the... More
