Our bread delivered quickly to the table was dense and cold absolutely no crumb. Weird. It was very strange. With a nice Herb butter though. I should've sent it back. I was surprised that the escargot didn't come with grilled or toasted bread of some sort. Was pretty tasty. Mussels had quite a few sand in them. And I was also surprised the fries didn't come with some kind of aïoli. But I did really enjoy the broth that had a definite kick to it. The beef was good, nice and hot. and the crème brûlée was great. It really is such a cute place. I would love to see the food upscale a bit more. Might come back in the future. Maybe in the summer

Our first dinner at this French bistro in the heart of Vienna was really good, but our second, one…read morenight ago, was not. The service was rather half-assed and slow (which is authentically French, to be fair); my trout was kinda warm, and bland; the pea purée was cold; and the dressing "on the side" of my green salad was placed in a container in the middle of the salad, which spilled and coated more than half the salad by the time it reached me.

It was much appreciated. As for the food it was hit and miss. Our husbands had the short rib raviolis and-although it was flavorful, there was not enough meat inside the raviolis nor were there enough raviolis to justify the price tag. Since the sauce was extremely flavorful I forced my husband to share some of the skimpy sauce to dip my pizza crust on it. Luckily the guys had enough of the wonderful fried mozzarella and bread to not be grumpy. One tip that our whole party agreed on was that the sauce was better suited if it was paired with chunks of lobsters instead of of the stuffed short rib raviolis. I was happy with size of my thin crust pizza and it was way more than I could eat. However, I am not sure if I was actually ok with how the ingredients were divided jn the quarter a fourth of the pizza contained olives ,another fourth was the mushrooms, ,another fourth was the prosciutto and for the life of me I could not remember the fourth ingredient. I'm still ponedering whether I am a fan of this. My friend had the Marguerite pizza and she was extremely satisfied with it. As to the place itself, it's nothing fancy, it's just your typical pizza place in a strip mall. It's just ok. One thing I noticed about it is the dim lighting, but to be fair it's a normal complaint for most eating establishments. We all had to break out our IPhone flashlights to read the menu. I wish most eateries would have a dimmer switch by your table so that when you are ordering, there is sufficient lighting as you read the menu and when done can be adjusted to mood lighting. I noticed most of the upper forties and up patrons did the same thing as us when ordering.

I cannot praise enough the high tea at the Ritz Carlton. We gave my daughter a bridal tea shower,…read moreand it was so amazing all because of the staff ! I will say the restaurant is elegant and beautiful, and the food was savory and sweet just amazing, but it is the staff who went above and beyond to make the high tea memorable. This is my third bridal shower. I have given at the Ritz Carlton in Tyson's corner, and I would go no other place. Let me start out by mentioning a few exceptional people. I started planning this in the beginning of the year and Sriram Hariharan is one of the most giving, caring and supportive person I know. He put me in touch with all the right resources. He would follow up to see how things are going. I would say his detail to customer service and experience is exceptional. Next is Rohit Ray who assisted every step of the way helping me with my attendee numbers , the set up design and more. He was there throughout the whole party. Rohit's kindness and grace that is unwavering. Finally, our server Astrid. She oversaw my last shower in January and I know we were in good hands when I saw her last Saturday. she is truly A+. She made sure the event went smoothly. Was proactive in helping us get things organized, and when one of the guests reported she was a vegetarian she made changes so her tea party food was vegetarian. The entire celebration was impeccable. I had 26 people attend and one person shared they've experienced three high teas in London and the experience at this party was the best one yet. After the party ended, I received so many calls telling me how elegant the party was, how exceptional the service was. And how wonderful all the food was. I will give honorable mention to Smail and the director of valet who helped us bring up the party favors and flowers and more. my heart is full. It was a magical experience we will continue to talk about.

I was upgraded to a refurbished room with a refreshed bathroom. It was nice with beautiful tiles…read more The room was spacious and clean. I went to entyce for dinner and breakfast. During dinner, there was live music which created a nice ambiance. I ordered the half roast chicken and chicken Bryani. The half roast chicken was disappointing. The breast was dry and flavorless. The bed of corn and beans reminds me of something you pull from the freezer. The chicken bryani could use more seasoning and spices. Dinner menu seems to be the same as the dinner menu from last year. Breakfast we ordered the chicken and waffles and also the lobster eggs Benedict. The chicken and waffle was cooked fresh. Chicken crispy and juicy. Waffle fluffy. The lobster Benedict was a let down. Eggs were cooked nicely but the lobster bits were mushy. Overall the room was nice and the food was hit or miss.

3.7 stars! Tried this after a friend recommended it. This place has such an old school vibe but…read morestill felt like fine dining. The owner greeted us and even checked up on us a few times. He seemed to know a lot of the customers which makes it feel homey. They gave complimentary bread which came with butter, olive oil, balsamic, and other fixings. The bread was super soft on the inside and had a nice crunch from the exterior. My boyfriend and I ordered the calamari, scaloppini mare terra, fettuccini con funghi, and fettuccini al frutti di mare. In simple terms: calamari, a seafood vodka pasta, fettuccini alfredo w mushroom, and veal with lobster bits served with green beans and scalloped potatoes. Surprisingly, I didn't love the calamari. It had a good size but lacked flavor. It also could have been cooked a tad bit more for better color and texture. The fettuccini alfredo was super creamy and had such a strong mushroom taste! The veal was nice but a bit chewy for my liking. The scalloped potatoes were good but nothing special. However the star of the show was the seafood vodka pasta! It had such an amazing vodka flavor with loads of seafood! I have to admit, they put way too many calamari pieces and not enough of the other items mentioned in the dish. Another thing was that I found a strand of hair on my plate. When I notified the server, he said it was just from the green beans but would exchange it for me. Later, he explained that the "hair" was green bean skin.. which was odd to me considering the hair was turning black to white. I didn't appreciate him trying to make an excuse. I decided to look past it even though the server didn't apologize. Good first experience (other than the piece of hair). The seafood vodka pasta is def a must-have. The vibes are great and the owner makes you feel like family.

The food was good. We had meatballs, grilled shrimp, asparagus and steak. The shrimp was a little…read moresalty but tasted good. I think the chef got a little overzealous when seasoning that batch. Haha. The asparagus came out and it looked really good. The taste was a match! It was our first time and we weren't sure how things worked so let me help you out if you are reading this. A small plate is indeed a small plate of whatever you order. You can share to you cannot. But if you go the small plate route , you'll want to order between 3 and 4 items per person. The large plates are meals. The atmosphere was as expected. This would make a good date night. You could dress up or you could dress down. Either way, you'll be right at home. Our waitress Gabby did a great job and she was super helpful. My wife is allergic to rice so Gabby made sure to check with the chef about cross contamination and what was good for her on the menu and what not. Super appreciative of that. My wife tried two different sans spirits drinks. The espresso tonic. I tried it also. Big no! It has tonic espresso and grapefruit juice. Those did not vibe. We sent it back. She then tried the Purple Rain and loved it. All in all, it's a good spot and I'm glad we tried it. I think next time we will go exclusively with the large plates. The small plate route was kind of expensive for what we got and we didn't get a lot of food. We both actually left hungry. We are not drinkers but we accompanied two of our friends who are and they enjoyed the wine selection.

The grilled octopus with artichoke and garlic potatoes top with chopped basil is absolutely delicious. The flavor really comes together very nicely and the octopus is grilled perfectly. It is The Best grilled octopus in Nova. Highly recommend getting it . Another favorite appetizer is the fried calamari, fried mozzarella, and the mussels. The osso buco is to die for! It is tender veal shank braised with Chianti and vegetables on top of saffron risotto. Cioppino is delicious served on pasta. The lasagna was delicious and the seafood pasta was also very tasty. They're rotating menu or chef special menu as always very good. You can also have variety of pasta made your way with different style options and protein options. We like the chicken piccata which is packed with flavor. The sauce with the capers is really delicious. We tried the chicken marsala which is light in flavor. We would have liked the flavor to be a little more flavorful. They also have great cocktails. The margaritas, espresso martini, pama smash, and the limoncello martini are great cocktails. They have rotating cocktail menu and happy hour specials. The dessert, mixed berry crisp is delicious with a scoop of ice cream on top! We've been back since and had their pizza which is also delicious! Their rotating specials menu featured a lobster pasta with spicy tomato sauce which was delicious and loaded with large pieces of lobster which is probably equivalent to an entire lobster! The tomato sauce was slightly spicy with just the right amount of acidity. There was a robust amount of lobster in the pasta. They do not skimp here! Absolutely delicious! If you like spicy pasta you will like the penne arrabbiata with sausage added. The flavor is really good with capers and olives in a spicy tomato sauce. The New York strip is really flavorful. We were pleasantly surprised at how good the flavor was with the broccoli and roasted potatoes. The braised lamb shank is delicious, it is fall of the bone tender and delicious. They have a beer battered large soft shell crab appetizer on top of spicy tomato sauce. This is very flavorful and delicious.

Great food and drink is wonderful but it is the people who go above and beyond service that really set a business for long term success (it's no wonder Dolce Vita has been around for over 25 years). Best dishes of the night included the arancini, fileto al pepe and the pesto grilled salmon. And the cannolis .... well I am still dreaming about them!
