Really enjoyed our lunch at Dolce Italian! We had the tartufata pizza, beef carpaccio, and Caesar salad -- all were very tasty. Service was great too. read more

Place is located inside of the Gale Hotel. Since we were staying at this hotel it was easy access for us. The interior of the place is elegant and beautiful. Very high class. The waiter Sanders was amazing, funny, and helpful. We all ordered some wine and drinks to start. Then I had the lobster ravioli and it was absolutely delicious. Super flavor. Will definitely recommend having a nice dinner here. read more

Delicious dinner with fantastic service. However I would highly recommend sitting indoors. Outdoors is so loud with the traffic and crowds - it totally Ruins the ambience. Drinks are great. The gnocchi is hand made in house with a pesto cream to die for. 10/10 recommend read more

My husband brought me here for my birthday dinner and I was beyond satisfied with Dolce Italia. The food was reminiscent of the amazing quality of food we ate on our trip to Italy. It was flavorful, light, and fresh. Every dish was delicious and I will come here again when I visit (which is really saying something given the amount of restaurant choices in Miami.) I don't eat Italian food often because I think American Italian food is too heavy but you can tell Dolce Italia is authentic. I wish I lived closer so I can come here often. Also: there's a lounge downstairs that's intimate and the drinks are delicious! read more

This place is the worst restaurant in the entire Miami area. Do not go here ever. If you have had one drink, and you go here, they will not serve you. On the off chance you're feeling like you want to go here, and go here, do not. If you feel like you want good food and you want to go here, don't. The ambience is great. The people are not. The service is less than stellar. One out of five stars. You have been warned. Proceed as you wish. read more

I have to say this food was delectable, the lobster ravioli was one of the best meals I've had. The octopus lives up to the hype, crispy on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside. The espresso martini knocked it put of the park, goes down smooth, with a nice blend of kahlúa, grey goose, and espresso. The cheesecake was good for ricotta cheesecake (New Yorker, so cheesecake is a hit or miss unless it's New York style cheesecake). Overall wonderful! The restaurant had intimate lighting, comfortable seating, was quiet, and had wonderful service. Lastly I highly recommend the waiter Ernesto if you go, he is very kind and responsive to needs, he checked in me multiple times throughout my meal. read more

I recently attended a YELP Elite event at Dolce Italian. After the event, the BF and I decided to stick around for dinner. We had positive expectations, but were surprised by the quality of the service and food. I wish i remembered our server's name, he was awesome! He must have been italian or french, total gentleman, friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable. He needs to run a training course for waiters all around miami. Seriously, he needs to look into it. Our dinner was basic since we had some apps at the yelp event, we tried the Capricciosa pizza and loved it. I would definitely try it again. Prices were fair for south beach. read more

Met a client here for a business lunch. Dolce is actually a great place for a business meeting or a date. This restaurant had both indoor and outdoor seating and seems like a refuge on the busy and touristy Collins Avenue. My client who comes to this restaurant often recommended I order one of the salads. She ordered an arugula salad with chicken and I ordered the gem salad with shrimp. We shared a bottle of sparkling water. Be advised the protein does not come with the salad. In fact it costs almost as much as the salad itself. The salads were about $20 each. Adding chicken was an additional $12 while adding shrimp was an additional $18. An 18% gratuity was also added to the bill. With this said, the gem salad was one of the best salads I've had in awhile. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. My only complaint was that one of my shrimp weren't deveined. For what they charge, I was surprised to see this. Also the service was slow. There were a few times I looked around for wait staff and none were to be found. read more

Just a few steps from the beach, Dolce is inside the Gale hotel (Hilton) right on Collins Ave. We made a reservation, but for our day and time it didn't seem to be necessary. Better safe than sorry, however! We sat outside as it was a nice evening, and being on Collins, the people watching was fun entertainment. We started out with a couple of drinks, my jalapeño raspberry cordial was really good (I'm a sucker for spicy cocktails, what can I say) -once it finally came. The bar was super super slow this evening. Though neither of us should be having it, the bread was actually really good. Nice to munch on, because in addition to the bar, the kitchen was also way slow. The caesar salad was huge, it really could've been a meal in itself, so I am glad we shared. It was also good enough to be a meal, caesar's can be a bit lackluster, but this had a really good dressing and super crunchy romaine. I ordered the spinach and ricotta ravioli with a sage-brown butter sauce. I make this a lot at home, so I knew I would enjoy it. Plus, as far as pasta goes, it seemed like the least "heavy" item on that menu. He ordered the spaghetti pomodoro, with meatballs. I thought it was a tad too salty, he thought it was tomato-y (but really, what do you expect). Aside from the salt, this pomodoro sauce was well developed, it had very dinstinct flavors which I can appreciate. Tiramisu is usually something I can take or leave.. this one for me fell in the latter category. I know for a fact I am spoiled when it comes to Italian food, and maybe if the evening progessed at a level above lackluster I would have given the experience four stars. But for now, I'll be "one of those people" rating it 3.5, even if that'a not even an option. read more

Amazing carrot ginger soup with roasted sesame seeds. This establishment has the best food in South Beach, by far.

Visited Dolce Italian for a Yelp Event. I had an amazing time! The new patio is perfect to dine and people watch! Having fans outside is a great touch too stay cool from the Miami heat. We were served several small bites. * Caprese: cherry tomatoes, mozzarella & basil * Tuna Tartare: avocado & smoked paprika potato chips * Beef Carpaccio Crostino * Dolce Meatballs: marinara sauce * Warm Filo Cups: spinach, feta & dill * Shrimp Skewers: zucchini and herbs I tried everything except the beef carpaccio and the meatballs because I'm pescatarian. I really enjoyed the tuna tartare, shrimp skewers and warm filo cups. The wait staff did an amazing job! They were very pleasant. I was able to take a peek at the full menu and I must say I WILL BE BACK! There are plenty of things I'd love to try. read more

Yum! We ordered salad and pizza from here. The wait was LONG. The ordering process was confusing and unclear, but once we got through the confusion it was delish. The salad had for sure been sitting out for hours and was mediocre at best. I wanted to love it. The pizza was delish and made fresh. Well worth it. It's worth a stop in. But maybe skip the salad. read more

Needed to get a quick bite before heading off to do some work. I enjoy when the wait know and are passionate about their menu. Took a seat on the patio outside to enjoy the night life. Was going to have the Branzino Filet but the waiter insisted if i wanted their best seafood dish that i should get the Tagliatelle Ai Frutti Di Mare with shrimp, calamari, baby scallops, and clams in a light tomato sauce that accentuates the freshness and sweetness of the seafood. It was well seasoned but not overly spiced to hide the natural flavors of the seafood. The tiramisu was one of the creamiest i have ever had. read more

I had the lobster ravioli. It was the ravioli I've ever had. The price was a bit steep at $33 but if it's the best ever I'll take it. My friend had frutti di mare. Excellent. The server ~ Noel~ was super! The atmosphere was upscale. read more

Been there once and I promised my self I would have gone again to try more food after the first beautiful experience I had.

Dolce Italian - The restaurant - Italian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Nothing bad to say here....at all. Walked up on this spot during our nightly stroll. First night in Miami. Hostess was incredibly kind and personable as they tend to be. She did inquire on reservation. So recommended, but not required. We were seated promptly and outside during this beautiful weather. Our waiter assisted us quickly once seated. Very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful with the menu. And with that, our drinks came out at a decent time....beautiful presentation and tasted delicious. Appetizers not to long after.....same thing. Hot, beautiful, tasted amazing. Our meals came out not to long after that. Same thing. However....plenty of food, but lot heavy. So much flavor in these meals. Yet, not putting me to sleep. As far as price....not cheap. But definitely getting the value in your food. You will not go hungry here at all. . Would we eat here again? Absolutely! And you should to. Excellent service, good value for your money, amazing food, amazing presentation, outside seating, and you feel safe here. Why not? read more

Stayed at the hotel for a few nights and ate breakfast, dinner and happy hour here. The ambiance is very nice. They have outdoor patio seating that offers a terrific view of Collins St for those who enjoy people-watching. We actually ate indoors on all our food excursions. I'll start with breakfast. As a diamond member, breakfast is included. It's a basic eggs (cooked your way), Choice of breakfast meat such as bacon or sausage, choice of bread including toast, bagel, etc. with breakfast potatoes, and juice or coffee. Nothing really extravagant here, it's really your typical breakfast. The con was I found a hair in my ex which definitely ruined my appetite. They were very gracious though and offered to make another plate for me. However, by the time I received it, I kind of lost my desire to eat it. We attended their happy hour the first night we arrived as well as the next day. The calamari was delicious as well as their cucumber Mule. Very nice, crisp, and refreshing. The calamari was fresh, hot, and crispy. Just the way I like it. The service left much to be desired. There was only myself and my husband the first evening we were there and the second evening we attended, there was perhaps one more person there, but the service wasn't typical of bartenders that tend to be very friendly and talkative. So to summarize, the food was great the drink was fabulous the service was subpar. Now for dinner. We ate dinner at the restaurant twice. Our first night we had a server name Francesco and he was fabulous! When you go to this restaurant make sure you ask for Francesco. He is from Naples, Italy! He will make your dinner and experience worthwhile. He gave us fun facts about Italy! He provided excellent recommendations it was very attentive and offered fabulous service. I ordered lobster ravioli and my husband ate the risotto with phrase beef short ribs. Both were excellent and the wine selections that he recommended also complimented the meal very well. My ravioli was decadent with the right amount of lobster and asparagus and mushrooms.We ended with nice dessert of tiramisu. You must order the tiramisu! It was out of this world and you can really know that it was made fresh in house. The second night we ate there we celebrated our wedding anniversary! They gave us a free glass of Prosecco and free dessert! It was a very nice gesture! We tried to get our same server however it was extremely busy and we were unable to do so. The second server tried and did his best, but he was not Francesco! The second night I ordered pasta with shrimp and my husband ordered the pappardelle bolognese. He enjoyed his meal immensely. Mine was ok. They start you off with bread and fresh olive oil. Overall, our best meal was the dinner that we had the first night with our server Francesco. Again make sure you ask for him; he is the best! And the food really is delicious and we will definitely return! If you are celebrating any special occasion, they really do try to make you feel special! BelliIsimo! read more

Dolce Italian - Spaghetti Al Pomodoro Lobster Ravioli - Italian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Exceptional food in one of the most beautiful atmospheres I've ever experienced. The food had a very fancy feel to it as if we were eating something prepared by Gordon Ramsay himself. The wait staff ensured our waters were filled and we were taken care of. If I could suggest an improvement, I would ask to allow for more substitutions in the menu and bigger portions. I would expect a little more flexibility and size for the amount you pay. With that in mind, it is still a wonderful place that is worth checking out if you want to experience a touch of class during your stay. read more

The food was pretty good. I had gnocci which was excellent. Friends had Pasta Bolognese which they enjoyed. Beer selection is limited but plenty of wine options. We sat outside. My friends couldn't have been clearer when ordering but the waiter somehow brought a shrimp pasta for one of them. When the mistake was noted he took it back to the kitchen and then returned with it saying the chef made an error, here's a free shrimp pasta, I'll be back with your pasta but it will take a while. A while later he brought the right dish and all was well from there. I think they should have comped him a drink or dessert or something. He basically had to eat alone by the time it came out. But everything else was fine and that mistake is unlikely to happen to you, so if in the area I would still recommend Dolce. Nice setting and very good food. One thing to note is that they add an 18% tip to the check regardless of the size of the party and they don't tell you that. My friends told me, otherwise I would have tipped the guy 40% in total. I was pretty good to him on top of the 18% but 40% for screwing up the order wouldn't have been right! read more

Dolce Italian - a cup of coffee on a saucer - Italian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I went to Dolce for lunch today and ordered the Risotto Seafood. The food was great and the portion was good. The risotto included a solid variety of seafood from scallops to shrimp to clams. The consistency was also good, as it was creamy, but not too creamy. Even though the price was a bit high, I think it was worth it. For dessert, I got the Panna Cotta, which was very tasty and made with fresh fruits. Our waiter was very friendly and the service speed was good. After getting my risotto, the waiter offered to add Parmesan cheese, pepper, or sea salt. There is a nice outdoor area to sit in addition to the nicely-decorated interior. Since it is the Christmas time, there were some Christmas lights on the palm trees. A few hours after leaving the restaurant, I actually went back to the restaurant to use the restroom and the employees were fine with that (the bathroom is pretty nice). Overall, I had an exceptional experience at Dolce, from the tasty food to the great service. If you're willing to pay for quality food, then I would highly recommend that you dine at Dolce. read more
