    Brazilian Lobster Tail

    Had Mothers Day reservations, promptly seated.Cramped (could touch the table next to us) & loud! No ambiance at all! Slow service & jacked prices(expected) Lobster tail tough & chewy. Raw oyster appy ok( small oysters). Penne alla vodka with chicken was child size portion.. Carafe of water a plus. Will not return.

    Love this place! Note it is now very popular and the environment is vibrant. The food never disappoints and their home made desserts are very very good. I had the flan which I loved. The owner is busy but always says hello. Love this restaurant wish I could go more!

    Looking for a place that has class as well as simplicity with great food?! Look no further! This place offers all of that! We were able to be accommodated immediately, we were given a choice and we went to sit outside because the weather was great. Ambiance is fun and classy at the same time. There was also a singer that entertains inside which makes the place more vibe-yyy. Food was chef's kiss, server was amazing and service was impeccable! Was looking for a place to celebrate my birthday and saw that Dolce Vita has one of the places recommended according to our search. This place is a place in a hole which everyone needs to try! On top of everything, it was also a pleasure to meet the chef he even came out and check on us when our food came which is not common everywhere. Their servings are decent sizes, well actually bigger size than other places around the area. We will definitely be back!

    2nd time here. This time for a celebratory dinner - apps, entrees and desserts plus alcohol. First the good- service was excellent and the waiter was very attentive. The arugula and beet salads were very good, as was the popcorn shrimp. Now for the bad- should I start with 3 of 6 people were in varying stages of ill (stomach) after dining, 2 had chicken and one had clams. The portions were tiny at best, none of the entrees were exceptional, average at best. The chicken Francaise was almost laughable at the portion size. 1 small piece of chicken and an ice cream scoop of dry mashed potatoes with 2 carrots and 3 broccoli rabe stalks. Chicken Saltimboca was similarly sized and chicken parm was over pasta, all with 1 small piece of chicken. The short rib was a bit tough but larger portion of beef but same sized sides. We shared a few crème brûlées and honestly not my favorite flavor (lemon?) ... now the price...$600 for 6 people including tip. I have zero issue paying those prices when the food is excellent and portions are decent. The only reason a few had leftovers was because we saved room for dessert. Each person had an entree, however apps and desserts were shared. There are plenty of restaurant choices out there and I'd recommend looking for a choice that offers the best balance of taste and value.

    Back again for a wonderful birthday dinner for my friend and a few others, including a service dog. We were given a nice table for six even though we were a party of four, plus doggo. Every appetizer was great as were the entrees. Service was friendly and attentive. Definitely will be back again soon.

The well-curated and balanced menu is focused on Spanish/Mediterranean dishes and tapas, all expertly prepared with quality ingredients. I genuinely loved everything. We ordered fried calamari misto (fantastic!), bacalao croquettes, polenta crostini, and Olar salad (simple but delicious) to start. For our mains, the paella Valenciana and mariscada salsa verde were profuse with fresh seafood - and the mussels and clams were delightfully fat and plump. The grilled skirt steak, which we requested medium rare, was perfectly cooked. Complimentary garlic herb crostini is brought to the table, and we were given fresh crusty-chewy rosemary focaccia bread brushed with olive oil as well. We were too stuffed to go for dessert but I think the offerings were a molten lava cake, vanilla panacotta, a cheesecake of some sort, and caramel flan. The owner was there and came around to greet everyone. They are currently doing a soft opening so there's no liquor license yet, and it's cash only right now, but everything seems so well run already. This is a true foodie destination, especially for Rockland. Highly recommended and a hearty 5 stars!

While I do love the duck breast and lamb chops included with the Classic package, we all felt Essentials was enough for this visit. Celia was our waitress. While things were a little slow getting started, once our first order went in, the food started flying out. Everything we ordered throughout the evening arrived much faster than it did on my previous visit. The menu makes it sound like they'll throttle you to only a couple of items at a time, but that really wasn't our experience. We were consistently able to order several items per person, so there was always something on the grill, more food on the way, and plenty to keep us chomping away. Our favorites this time? The top blade, brisket, hanger steak, pork belly, and even the salmon ceviche, which was surprisingly refreshing between rounds of grilled meat. We did have a couple of hiccups, but Celia was eager to make things right. After we received the wrong shrimp twice, she took it upon herself to get the manager involved. They tracked down the correct shrimp and brought it out. Thanks! Speaking of the manager, Andy was terrific. After another unpleasantry at our table, he came over and sincerely apologized several times. It was obvious he genuinely wanted to make things right. After we took a quick selfie together, he got us with a few complimentary cocktails. I have to say, anything here with cucumber in it is delicious here. Super refreshing. By the end of the meal, my son was a fluent griller and even said he liked Gyuzo more than the other all-you-can-eat BBQ places we've visited. That's about as good an endorsement as I can give. We'll certainly be back.
