Get some!

My partner ordered a grilled cheese sandwich served with a tomato soup and she gleefully ate all in front of her. It's not often that I witness Cubanos on the menu and so that was my order served with French fries, extra crispy, please. My Cubano was near perfect let down only by sweet versus dill pickles. That's simply my personal preference and did not get in the way of my sucking down the whole sandwich and most of the fries. We will definitely return and I heartedly recommend to those who have not yet been. Cheers!

The bread had a crispy cheesy exterior and it was perfectly toasted and had great flavor. I'm taking half home. We'll see how it holds up.

Their menu goes well beyond the classic, offering a variety of creative options like the rich four cheese, savory turkey, and more indulgent choices like pulled pork and burnt ends. Whether you're in the mood for something simple or something stacked and hearty, there's a sandwich for you. It's not just about the grilled cheese, either. Melty rounds things out with soups, fresh salads, and a solid selection of fries and tots--perfect sides to complement your meal. And if you've got a sweet tooth, don't skip the milkshakes. They're the ideal way to finish things off. To top it all off, the friendly staff makes the experience even better, adding a welcoming vibe that keeps you coming back.

We have eaten here 3 times and each time we usually order the Meatball, Pastrami, and the Italian sandwiches. All of the sandwiches are made standard per the order, but the freshly made bread and portion sizes just make for an amazing meal!!! For me the meatball sandwich is the mvp, this is the only place I would even consider ordering one from! You could probably order a small sandwich and will be full, but the medium is the way to go, you will have some leftovers. Service is great, and the location is nice and clean in case you want to eat there. This is our go to place whenever we are in the area and I think you will enjoy!

I went to place my order online, saw that if I signed up for rewards, I'd get $2 off my order, thought great and signed up! Only to wait almost 10 minutes before submitting my order to see if the coupon code would come through, it took a while and I just placed my order without it. Not two minutes after I made my order I get a message stating the order is cancelled because they couldn't fulfill it. No other context. Maybe it was the timing? Maybe they were out of ingredients? Who knows, but not me! So I just moved on and got a sandwich elsewhere. I gave 2 stars as the menu does look good and there's a handful of 5 star reviews that lead me to believe they could be good, but only time will tell if I dare to try again.

From the moment we walked in, the cook herself greeted us with the kind of warm, genuine smile that makes you forget you're in a public space. By the end of the evening she had invited us to her actual home for cooking lessons--like we'd known her for years instead of minutes. That kind of unscripted hospitality is rarer than a perfect risotto. And the food? Pure deliciousness that matches the heart. Every bite sang with bright, honest Italian flavors--nothing fussy, nothing fake, just layers of garlic, herbs, tomatoes, and cheese that taste like they came straight from someone's nonna's Sunday table. The dishes were so full of soul you could almost hear the wooden spoon scraping the bottom of the pot. It's a small, unassuming spot that somehow manages to feel both intimate and alive. You leave not just full, but genuinely happy, already daydreaming about that next visit (and those promised cooking lessons). If you want Italian food that tastes like love served on a plate, stop searching. You've found it. Five radiant stars. Go. Bring friends. Learn to cook. Repeat.

We each selected the $44 set meal that included a Caprese salad and bread, fried calamari, hot bruschetta ragu, Sicilian-style lasagna and, ta da, gelato for desert. The fresh mozzarella was so gorgeous we ordered 2 balls to takeaway. Hot bruschetta ragu was simply lovely bread topped with a meat ragu and melted mozzarella. Honestly, we've had better calamari and would prefer a marinara sauce versus what tasted like French fry sauce. The lasagna was delicious and the serving of such a size we happily brought some home. My partner ordered South Africa Dark chocolate and Reese's gelato whilst I ordered Madagascar vanilla and key lime gelato. Whilst Dolce Vita is a restaurant it felt and tasted as if we were eating at someone's home. The young staff were super attentive and very knowledgeable about all on offer. I highly recommend you give Dolce Vita a go!
