Good Italian food conveniently located in south beach. Nice but not incredible wine list friendly service. It's fun to sit outside and people watch. read more

After walking on the strip for several blocks trying to decide what to eat, we came across this Italian restaurant. I was so upset that I didn't bring my physical ID and had left it in my hotel room so I was not able to drink. However, the food was actually very delicious. We ordered the seafood linguini, chicken sandwich and salmon. The seafood pasta was packed with clams, shrimp and the pasta was al dente. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the chicken sandwich was delicious. The only small complaint I would have was the service. The waitress wasn't that polite and seemed a bit impatient with us since we took a while to decide what to order. read more

The service specifically from the bartender Albert made the experience feel unwelcoming and uncomfortable service. I will give it -0. I came in during the advertised happy hour based on the restaurants website when I asked for that happy hour menu the bartender Albert loudly annoyingly repeated happy hour menu. The tone is not acceptable in a hospitality setting Albert then loudly stated happy hour will not be honored due to special events Despite there being no notice. The attitude throughout the interaction was dismissive rather than professional. Only after I mention leaving a review, the manager changed his tone, honored the happy hour only after I ate my food and had my drink feeling uncomfortable the whole time. This is unacceptable then Albert the bartender offered a complementary drink later, which I appreciate in principle, but it was poorly made, and did not change the overall impression I took one sip of the second one. An automatic 18% service charge was also applied, which felt misaligned given the service issue . The kitchen did a good job. The food was good but front of the house professionalism matters and Albert's attitude is something I personally will not tolerate as a guest management may want to address the issue. read more

I came here for Valentine's Day for a dinner with my girlfriend. We ordered a bottle of wine, some appetizers, and each had a pasta dish. I found the calamari to be too greasy, and the Caesar salad was just okay. However, my seafood pasta was good, and the pasta was cooked to perfection; unfortunately, the Bolognese sauce was lacking in salt. Overall, I found the food to be somewhat bland. The bread, on the other hand, was good. The service was okay, but the server didn't seem to know much about wines when we asked for recommendations. The restaurant is nice I liked the outdoor setting. read more

This new Italian restaurant was outstanding. Food was really good and the service was outstanding. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing meal last night at Dolce. The food and the service was the absolutely wonderful! Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about all of the food items and was very attentive which is rare in the "post-Covid" world. The bread & olive oil is a great treat. We started with cocktails- the spicy ginger is refreshing & delicious. Next , on our waiter's recommendation, we ordered the spaghetti & meatballs ( something I would never orders because my own is pretty amazing) . It was simply "WOW"! Finished the night with tiramisu & an espresso martini! Definitely will keep this place on repeat whenever we are visiting Miami! Do not let the fact that this restaurant is attached to a hotel keep you away! read more

Took advantage of the Miami Spice menu for Dolce. It had been a while since I had been to Dolce inside the Gale hotel. Still a great quiet spot for a date or just to dine. The spice appetizer I chose were the jumbo shrimp cocktail which was not my favorite. The cocktail sauce tastes more like marinara and the shrimp were a little gummy. Although not bad not the best. The star here was the rigatoni. Wow it was pretty amazing the sauce was on point. I asked for some chili flake and made it spicy. It was delicious and the sauce kept thickening throughout which made it even more flavorful. And for dessert there was only one option the white cake with toasted merengue and raspberry sorbet. This too was so good. The cake was very moist not dry at all. I'd say well worth it for the Miami spice deal. The only thing was there was really no ambiance. The air was broken so they had a fan blower while it wasn't hot, it was the only thing we heard all night. No music at all. But it's Miami and we know these AC troubles really well. Service was on point though Christian was delightful. Good to know that Dolce is still a solid choice! read more

Overall I enjoyed the food at Dolce. The dishes were flavorful and well presented, the dishes seemed reasonably authentic and had fresh ingredients too. There is no denying this restaurant is very touristy because it is in a hotel right in the middle of a popular tourist destination, although I'm not sure if that is a reason not to go. I did think the service was a bit brisk, and properly could have been improved slightly but it could have been an off night. read more

I had an early dinner on Dolce patio (in Hotel Gale) so people watching was fun. The complimentary bread with olive oil was good but would have been better offered with Parmesan cheese & fresh cracked pepper. I had a delicious mango mojito mocktail....so refreshing! And for my entree I had the lobster ravioli which was encouraged by my server. Unfortunately, the pasta dish was underwhelming...not bad but not the best. Sadly, the asparagus tasted better than the actual ravioli which should have been the star. Overall service was nice! read more

Dolce Italian - Pappardelle Alla Bolognese - Italian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Good restaurant in south beach. Still a tourist trap but higher quality than what you will find on Collins ave. The ambience is pleasant, good vibe pleasant staff. I had the TAGLIATELLE AI FRUTTI DI MARE which was pretty good, decent price for what was likely previously frozen seafood. I give a higher rating as finding something like this on south beach is a treat. read more

The dinner at Dolce Italian was a pleasant experience with a nice outdoor decor. The staff was very welcoming even for late evening service. Their famous lobster ravioli is also available under Miami spice menu, which was very light and tasty. The risotto was ok. read more

One of the top upscale Italian restaurants on this famous beach strip in Miami Beach. Lots of tourists walking around all through the day and night so it's a busy area. The Italian restaurant is very traditional with its decor and reminds me of a steakhouse with the dining tables and chairs. We had a semi-private room all the way in the back which was perfect because our group was loud lol. I would have to say all the dishes ordered kept getting better and better as it got placed on our table. Everything from beet salad to the amazing charcuterie platter, Branzino was tender and tasty, the steak was perfect too! I think the only disappointment was my bolognese was a bit too salty for my taste. The meatballs saved the dish because it was juicy and flavorful. I'd definitely love to return here to try the other main courses. read more

Dolce Italian - Grilled Skirt Steak (10 oz.) - Italian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Very enjoyable evening at Dolce tonight thanks to our server Hester. We had the skirt steak and the braised ribs with brussels sprouts. Our plates were left cleaned, therefore, no room for dessert. The manager Mr. Zaccaria came by our table to make sure everything had been presented to our satisfaction. Getting a chance to practice a little Italian was just the cherry on top !!! Highly recommended read more

Nice restaurant but the menu is lacking. We stayed at the hotel and had a chance to grab breakfast and attempt lunch at this restaurant. They were short on wait staff in the morning and our waitress was doing all she could to get to us when she could and they somehow ran out of croissant sandwiches. For lunch we wanted appetizers and drinks but the menu is very limited and we opted for a margherita pizza and when I tell you this was the worse pizza I've ever had that's an understatement, it lacked tomato sauce and the cheese is like some dried up crumbled crust or something. Do go here for drinks, a nice chill environment and friendly staff. Didn't try the pasta so maybe that's the draw. read more

Came here for valentines day dinner & we enjoyed our time. Started off with the dolce meatballs which were delicious, served on a bed of polenta. For our entrees I had the lobster ravioli and my boyfriend tried the Garganelli Al Pesto Con Gamberi. Both plates were good & very filling. Special valentines day dessert as well was a heart-shaped chocolate mousse. The atmosphere was nice & service was quick as well. read more

Dolce Italian is the restaurant at the Gale, which is where we stayed. This place was basically ALWAYS poppin' - with both hotel and non-hotel guests alike. Because my partner is a Hilton Honors Diamond Member (yay for work perks!), we had complimentary breakfast each morning. It was a set menu of: two eggs any style choice of bacon or pork sausage choice of bagel, toast, pastry or yogurt parfait served with home fries, orange juice and drip coffee or tea. This was a SOLID breakfast. Very tasty, filling! My partner commented on the better quality as he eats QUITE a few of these hotel breakfasts. My scrambled eggs were always perfect, everything was nicely seasoned. The fruit was always sweet and ripe. Truly no complaints. Why only 4 stars then? We also came for happy hour, which is Sun - Thu from 3-5:30pm. They didn't have the only happy hour beer on the menu AND the meatballs were hella dry. FYI Wednesdays are 30% off all bottles of wine! read more

Well I hate even saying this As I don't like to leave negative comments my goal is to always start at five stars and stay there I keeping an open mind. But this morning while getting breakfast service was very disappointing. I'm not sure what's going on the food was good the coffee was good once received but there was no follow up on the 2nd cup 3rd cup etc. We're probably gonna be eating here one or more to one or two times because it's convenient to the hotel. It'll be interesting to see if they're consistently this way or is it better next time. Love the Location, love the ambience, love the food. read more

Excellent place to eat dinner. Food was very fresh and delicious. We are from Los Angeles, and we are picky eaters. Everything was top notch from the food to service. Highly recommend. read more

They tried so hard, the food was good, but the prices don't match the offering. When paying these prices I don't expect to get plates that are chipped all over, I don't want to get up from my table to steal salt pepper from another table. We sat outside near the sidewalk, then a homeless person sat in front of us with a meal that he did not eat, so he left the food on the sidewalk. Then came the crows, pigeons, and seagulls. We were hoping the restaurant would care that this was going on at the outside area of their restaurant, but they did not care. I guess that is Miami now. The ain't my problem city. 1 pizza , 1 pasta, 1 salad $85 lunch for this lovely experience. read more

Dolce Italian - Italian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

A noisy outdoor streetside seating, ok in all the right ways. Miami mufflers and the cadence of macho green light starts, like peacocks strutting feathers with a DJ background of low disco, from Billy Ocean to MJ remixes to the more obscure. And the usual details: -excellent waitstaff, and cruising manager checking in -interesting cocktails and a recc for the Diablo -bolognese, solid and cleaned to plate's bottom -rosemary chicken, perhaps a pass next time -pommodoro spaghetti a success, as well as the pasta and shrimp (ganga-something) read more

Always an amazing experience and the food is authentic Italian...I've read so many reviews about the food from an American point of view and if you know how their food is supposed to be prepared as opposed to the Italian-American way, you would know the differences.

I was there for a business dinner. The ambience of the bar that I could see briefly was modern and inviting. The private room we were at in the back upstairs was nice and complete with a private bar. We were served family style dishes with pasta, and some kind of salmon dish. Perhaps it's a fairly big party of 30 people so my pasta was overcooked. But the side dish with mushrooms was delicious. The salmon was overcooked as well. The service was OK at the private bar, but they had a hard time going in between chairs to properly for our drinks so my water glass was empty the whole night. Perhaps in a private table the experience would be better read more

I went here for a family member's birthday dinner. The food was fairly decent. I ordered the "Pappardelle Alla Bolognese" which was good and I enjoyed it. The wine selection was large and offered both by the glass and by the bottle options. The service was fantastic. They seated us on the lower patio and were able to move us to the higher outdoor area upon request (even after having been seated). Additionally, our waiter was very kind and diligent. Overall, Dolce Italian was an alright restaurant. If you really want Italian food this is not a bad option. read more
