Excellent homemade pastas and a very extensive menu and wine list. The wait staff is small, but very attentive. We always had everything we needed without having to ask. The atmosphere is very intimate, but not fussy. Families with small children and couples off to the symphony were all dining together. The restaurant is located on a second floor level... more

Listen people, La Dolce Vita in Carmel is delicious, we have a second home in Carmel and one of the deciding factors was this restaurant HOMEMADE pasta, just the best sauces and a truly intimate, romantic atmosphere. Yes they have a small staff, but they are adorable and very present when they wait on you. If you love good food... more

ZERO STARS for me too. In fact, if I could, I would give this place negative stars. So we arrived, party of 4. We waited, not as long as the previous review, but the service was S L O W. Never mind I thought, it is Sunday and we have time. We ordered 2 appetizers, 3 main dishes and 1... more

We love La Dolce Vita. We have been going there for years and just went back last Saturday. The three of us had a table outside; it was a wonderful night. We had the gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce, the chicken piccata and the veal parmesan. We shared the Tiramisu for dessert. Everything was delicious. The service is good, the waiters... more

not great!

We stumbled across this place when looking for somewhere to eat in Carmel. Pasta Carbonara was not very tasty - should have been better for an italian restaurant. The whole place was understaffed - we spent the evening listening to people calling the place on the answerphone! They have the answerphone in the restaurant on a speaker phone!!! As they... more

Our experience in this restaruant was well below average. I visited the restrooms before eating, and they were filthy. It was early evening and we were probably the first customers in that night. I peeped into one cubicle and the toilet appeared to be blocked so I hastily withdrew and went into the second cubicle. Although the toilet and basin... more

My family of six were recently vacationing in Carmel on our way to San Francisco. We asked someone where we could find some great italian food and we were directed to La Dolce Vita Restorante. What a great find for us, delicious appetizers and entrees, and the atmosphere and service was superb! We were so full after dinner that we... more
