    Special Bruschetta

    Second time here. And never disappointing. Dolce Restaurant in Danbury and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The service was outstanding the staff went above and beyond to make our family's birthday celebration feel truly special. We started with their special bruschetta. They treated us with such warmth and attentiveness, making the evening memorable. As for the food, it was simply I ordered the Chicken Scarpiello, and it was hands down the best chicken I've ever had--perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice. My brother enjoyed the Lobster Ravioli, which he raved about for its rich flavor and generous lobster filling. My parents ordered the Chicken Ravioli with Marsala wine sauce and the New York Steak, both of which were cooked to perfection and delicious. Dolce Restaurant not only provided a fantastic meal but also created a wonderful atmosphere for our family celebration. I highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for great food and exceptional service! We left full and super happy. CT need more places like this. To make you feel like home. By far best Italian restaurant we ever been.

    Cheese Pizza
    Jennifer A.

    The online ordering process was quick and straightforward. Perfect take out solution for staying nearby at a local hotel and didn't want brown-bagged fast food. Went with simple; classic cheese pizza. Just what was needed. Crispy, slightly chewy crust and a good ratio of cheese and sauce. Good amount of garlic and oregano. Also had the fig bruschetta which I didn't get a photo of. That was delicious but almost a dessert with the added fruit drizzle on top which actually stole to show from the fig a little. Only recommendation would be to lose the sauce and let the cheese and fig stand on their own. Will definitely try going and eating in the actual restaurant when back in the area.

    Food was really really good! Loved the outside patio area! Staff were friendly and cocktails were extremely generous! Great ambience! I would recommend a reservation if planning on going at a peak time.

    Dolce Restaurant & Wine Bar is a solid Italian restaurant in Danbury. Here's the scoop on this place: If you're going for dinner on a Friday/Saturday night, I would highly recommend you make a reservation in advance, which you can do online through their website. I went on a fairly busy Friday night, and was given bread and water almost immediately after sitting down. The bread was very good and came with olive oil for dipping, which had some spices in it and tasted delicious. For a drink I ordered a house margarita on the rocks, which was good. For an appetizer, I got the Fried Mozzarella with marinara sauce. These were amazing!! The order came with four large mozzarella sticks, which were hot and crispy. Some of the best I've ever had! Next came the garden salad, which had a very good balsamic dressing (the entrees all come with salads). For my meal, I chose the Veal and Shrimp Francese, which came with mashed potatoes and carrots. The veal and shrimp were very good, though not the best I've ever had. The mashed potatoes were great. For dessert I got the homemade Chocolate Lava Cake, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This was so good, but super chocolate-y. Overall the service was excellent, with the waitstaff refilling water glasses and clearing the table without having to ask. The food came out quickly for how busy it was. The atmosphere was nice. I would recommend!

    The good news is this bus a local place for me. As soon as we entered the disco music got me, the rest of the dinner was equal in taste. We were greeted by " Rocco", have you ever been served by an old time professional waiter? We were it added greatly to our meal experience. We order the halibut with vegetables, the mushrooms raviolis, fried calamari and cesar salad, all fantastic. The decoration of the restaurant is nice, you feel you are in a contemporary upscale restaurant. I recommend this restaurant very highly. I am missing Rocco already and the bread!

    Tuna Tartar
    Amanda C.

    Food: 3/5 I ordered the tuna tartare as my appetizer and shrimp and scallops as my entree. Neither of my meals were satisfactory. I enjoyed the different spin on the tuna tartare. My family had ordered different items on the menu and let's just say no one took the food home. Service: 2/5 prior to leaving the house I called to ask what time the kitchen closes. I was given a quick 9:30p and quicker click to end the call before I could ask anything else. When we reached well before the kitchen closing time the waiter hesitantly found a table for us. The other waiter was pleasant and did give great service.

    Bread service
    David J.

    Not to minimize the quality of this restaurant, it's a classic, traditional Italian place, with the full menu of pasta, fish, and meat entrees. Service is efficient and friendly. The wine list is American focused and fairly priced. We splurged on the calorie count and ordered the tortufo dessert, wonderful! Overall, a great find.

    Shrimp and scallops

    Had brunch here on Sunday. The food and service were top notch, and the portions are very generous! We had the shrimp and scallops and the spicy rigatoni alla vodka with meatballs. They were both amazing! Will definitely be back!!

Ok well let us know BEFORE you hand us the beer and wine menu. UGH For Tapas YES Fried Calamari was absolutely amazing Fresh, not dry at all with a large bowl and 2 delicious dipping sauces. BUT For Paella Classic for 2 Never again. It was a huge disappointment after our tapas as a warm up. It was served in an iron skillet, nice presentation but much smaller than we thought it should be for 2. It had no moisture at all, the rice and chorizo sausage with chicken bits and shrimp. The shrimp was very disappointing just rubbery and dry. This place has a 4.7 star rating and a great looking Menu. Maybe it's a Ridgefield Connecticut thing to go there for an enjoyable atmosphere. For the food quality it was too expensive comparatively as view on their website. We picked it because of the Great Rating. The head manager/owner was great and the staff was very attentive. We had dessert and coffee the coffee was nice and strong, fantastic but dessert was a version of crème brûlée taste was good Caramelized sugar wasn't there. When the Restaurant manger asked how was everything I had to let him know, he appreciated it and took the coffee off of the bill. We still gave a 20% tip for the great service. Sad to say We won't ever go back

Seen a lot of mixed reviews as every experience can be different depending on the day or current staff. My son ordered shrimp scampi and it was presented well. My son enjoyed his meal. The 2 rib eyes we ordered came out flaming hot. We asked for medium rare and my steak was cooked perfectly, but my wife had to ask them to put it in the broiler as it was still rare. No biggie. Sides of mash, mushrooms and creamed spinach were all very good. My wife enjoyed her mango martini and some other martini cocktail that I cannot remember. One hiccup my son noticed was his glass of water he had was dirty on and had some white oily substance floating at the top. At first I thought it was ice melting but when we looked at our other glasses we could clearly see there was something off there. My old fashioned was good and i got into the Halloween spirit and ordered a pumpkin old fashioned. Will not be doing that again. Was not a fan. Service was good. Everyone was polite. Mix certainly plays the part, and the decor of the place is "Prime". Looking forward to coming back and hopefully we will enjoy the experience again. Curious to see how it will be when it's busy. Lucky to have a steakhouse right down the block !

It's well proofed, the perfect balance of chewy and tender, gently salted and seasoned to allow toppings to shine. The thin Neopolitan / Neapolitan style crust is best eaten fresh out of the oven, not by delivery or take-away. After many years of eating at Stanziato's, though, we have some additional observations: As at just about every other restaurant, service is variable. The wait staff tends to be beautiful and young, capable about 80% of the time and less so about 20% of the time. The front of the house was extremely disorganized on a recent visit and although it was not busy, we waited 10 minutes to be seated. (We noticed others waiting a long time by the door without acknowledgment, waiting to put in or pick up an order.) Our first hostess greeted us curtly, and then completely disappeared, leaving a colleague to pick up the pieces 10 minutes later. Salads are well designed, but not always well executed. On several recent visits, our salads were slightly gritty with sand or soil. (A supplier issue?) Lardons in a Harvest Salad were cut into overly large pieces, fried too far in advance, and ate like salty rubber erasers. When it's not gritty, the beet salad is still a winner. Pizzas are sometimes served unpleasantly and excessively charred -- not just spots that might be expected on a Neopolitan / Neapolitan style pizza, but whole sections of crust. When 13" diameter pizzas run north of $20, I'd hope for better quality control. There is huge variation in decor from room to room, a legacy of the real estate takeover of the Latin bar next door, perhaps. The original rooms run pubby; newer rooms run clubby. The parking lot is as tight as ever!
