I just left this place and the service was really good. The vibe of the restaurant is nice and the staff is really good. I ordered the short rib and wasn't a big fan my entree and the waiter noticed and took it off our bill. Really good experience and I would recommend it for a date night. read more

Popped in this lovely Italian style restaurant for a lunch bite. It was a great choice. I have the fried barata and the truffle fries. Let me go back for a second and talk about the bread basket, it was just delicious,tasty and freshly made. For my main dish I had the linguine shrimp scampi. The service was great and fast. read more

We have come here for several years. Food, service and atmosphere all very good. Staff is very accomodating.

Food was good. but service was slow. And we had reservations for 7 but weren't seated until after 7:30 - over 1/2 hour late.

Service was excellent. Decor is warm and inviting. Intimate surroundings. Tonight was keyboard player singing. Chicken parmigiana was ok as were crab cakes. read more

The food, service, and ambiance were all top notch. We went for Valentine's Day, and it was the perfect setting.

What a great little find in Nyack...beautifully decorated for Christmas with a very appealing menu and may choices....the service was exemplary, the food was simply delicious, and the ambiance was too die for.....4 of us went for a delightful lade lunch and enjoyed every minute read more

My husband, myself, and two friends went to this place for the first time on Valentine's Day and we were very disappointed. We had reservations for 1:30 pm. There was only one other table. The following is what was wrong: my friend asked for lemon for her water, my other friend asked for a second carafe of water to be refilled, we asked for two separate checks, my husband asked for coffee with milk and sugar, and received two spoons instead of the requested two forks for the creme brulee and the stuffed calamari was not very good and cold. The stuffed calamari was not worth the $22. My friend never got the lemon, instead of bringing another carafe of water, they removed one of the waters, they gave one check, they gave my husband half and half and no sugar for his coffee. The only items that were good were the creme brulee and our two friend's dessert of Tiramisu. We would not recommend this restaurant. It was not worth over $200 for lunch for the four of us. read more

A wonderful spot in downtown Nyack. A wide selection of things to eat. Last night I had the spicy crab bisque and blackened red snapper. Both had a perfect balance of spices. My wife had lobster ravioli, also delicious. We also had a romantic table in the back away from the din at the bar. A little on the expensive side,($286 with tax and tip), but on a special evening, well worth it. read more

Very hospital, only came in for a quick drink but employees and presumably the owner was kind. Almost like a hidden gem, did not know of this place until now and after seeing it I will definitely be back to have some food. Atmosphere was great. read more

Food is delicious. Every dish I have ordered was great. Impeccable service as busy as it is! Friendly, professional staff.

The food is excellent. The drinks are so tasty. People are truly friendly in this place.

Yelp built up my expectations and we were very disappointed in the food! We would give 5 stars for their attention and response to our complaints. read more

Gets better and better. Have been here a few times. The dishes are extremely tasty and beautifully presented. When they run out of a dish you know they are fresh. Dana makes the best cocktails around. The servers are attentive You can even dine outdoors and see the river. I read more

Went here on Valentines Day and ended up with plastic in my food. Wrote this off as a freak occurrence and gave it a second try a few weeks later. And found plastic in my food yet again. The cocktails barely resemble what is described on the menu, and homeless people enter the restaurant and shake down guests for cash. Though that last bugbear is not the fault of management, its another reason to skip this place. A shame because the owner is rather friendly, but he needs to hold his kitchen to higher standards. read more

This was the first time trying the place out for Thanksgiving. We live in town so we thought why not try and see if we can add that to our list of local restaurants. The ingredients while fresh, however the breading on dishes like the fried calamari and chicken parmigiana we ordered was way too heavy and greasy. We also ordered the herb crusted Chilean sea bass. First of all, the menu said fingerling potatoes, it came with mashed potatoes which didn't pair well and chunky tomato sauce didn't jive well with me and just doesn't go with a fish dish and it was a strange pairing. A beautiful piece of sea bass in my opinion didn't need to be crusted. The other thing is, the decorations on the wall with the fish and water feature with plants, while it's okay, there was a nagging food fly or nat that kept coming around our plates. However, after our meal, we decided to take a walk because we both felt the food was settling in our stomach and we didn't feel great because the food felt heavy. Throughout the day we just felt bloated, the breading kept repeating on us and we had massive fatigue from the meal because of its preparation. It is safe to say we will not be back. read more

Delicious food as always ! Had the mushroom ravioli and thought it was amazing. Pairing it with a nice hunk of short rib was genius! Service was great! read more

The food was great. The service was very attentive and pleasant. The interior was beautiful with nice ambiance read more

The 1 star is tied to the owner. Found a piece of metal (looked like Brillo pad) in one of our dinners and he brushed it off as "it happens". Minimal apology and we had to wait 15 minutes for another dinner to be sent out. I worked in restaurants for many years...the owner could have comped the entree or sent dessert. Something to show half decent customer service. Nice ambiance and our waitress was friendly. I probably won't head back because the owner just didn't care about a pretty serious mistake. read more

Five stars for presentation, including ambiance, and service. Three stars for food quality as it relates to price. The beet salad was nicely composed, but would have been improved with more greens - the proportions were just a bit off. The bolognese sauce was inferior, although the pasta was good. The flan was gorgeous, but the delicate flavor and texture points were missed. Other menu items were similarly a bit disappointing. It's a restaurant that should be supported for all that is right - they just need to adjust either quality or prices so the expectations match the experience. read more

Wanted to give the new place in town a try. It was a Saturday night around 7pm and we were seated right away. I was very disappointed when I looked at the menu because 60% of it was seafood and I don't eat seafood. The non seafood options only looked ok. I ordered the ragú and it was only ok. The sauce was nothing special. My husband had the lamb and he asked for it medium rare and it came back well done. Service was fine. I probably won't be back because of the seafood heavy menu. Maybe they should have some sort of indication in the name of the restaurant that it's mostly seafood. read more

What a great place we found intown. Nice bar and the food was delicious. They had a bar menu and regular menu to choose from. We started with mozzarella sticks and steam clams both were great. We then shared the crab cake sandwich. The wife approved of it and she's picky with her crab cakes. Restaurant is open late to 12am so was able to enjoy the football game before heading back to hotel. Owner came over and was very nice. Must try when in nyack. read more

My friend and I went to Dolce Vita for lunch. The food was excellent. The lamb chops were spectacular. The Tiramisu' was the best I ever had. Great service. Most of the chairs are hard wood and not comfortable. To me, seating is extremely important. I will definitely go back to Dolce Vita. read more

We returned for a glass of wine and a bar bite over the Memorial Day weekend. Again the food was great - the people who own the restaurant are so nice - they really care - it is just a joy eating here. read more

A nice restaurant but unfortunately the owner does not consider customer service and courtesy to be a major priority. On a recent dining visit there was an issue with one of the dinners served and when we brought it to his attention he simply minimized the issue and then berated our server even though it was not her fault. After he departed I asked the server about what had happened and her response was that many of the staff had resigned due to his abrasive and abusive manner. Considering his response to my complaint and the unfair treatment of the serving staff I will be taking my business elsewhere in the future. read more

FANTASTIC Restaurant! Warm and cozy interior, staff and server amazingly friendly and attentive, food perfection. Bonus, they have a parking lot!!!! Apps: Char grilledd octopus was outstanding. Perfectly seasoned and charred. Pan seared blackened ahi tuna was super fresh and delicous. Ratatouille was baked and served bubbling in a casserole dish. WOW. A great mix of vegetables with amazing blended flavors. Super good. Entrees: Grilled whole branzino. I best I have ever had. So fresh and perfectly cooked. Tender, buttery texture that is delicate and flakey. It's a wow. Rigatoni Bolognese. Not your typical bolognese but equally as delicous. Great recipe with the italian sausage and mushrooms. Pasta was served al dente and the sauce was so flavorful and craveable. Mouthwatering! Dessert: Tiramisu...light, delicate and creamy and delicous. Overall a great experience from start to finish. Can't wait to go back. Don't miss this special spot. read more

We absolutely loved Dolce Vita. We went for Mother's Day which is really not a great day to go out but what a fabulous surprise‼ our son used to live in Nyack & this was a bar before. As soon as we stepped hostess was lovely we waited maybe 5 minutes (we did have reservations). Our waitress Ally so sweet & informative from fried burrata appetizer to our main dishes to our delicious affogato. We will be back Ally read more

My husband I I went on Saturday night. It was busy but we still got a spot. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. Presentation was great as well. Under the new ownership the energy of the restaurant changed for the better, the owner goes around mingling with guests and making sure everything works perfectly. Bartenders are friendly and skillful. What a great addition to the Nyack restaurant scene! Will definitely be back! read more
