Dolce Riviera - Dallas (TX)

5 /5 Brittany Tran: I had dinner here for a friend’s birthday and the vibes, food, and staff were amazing! The portions were filling and the staff were very friendly. We had complimentary focaccia bread and got fritto misto to start and then fettuccine bolognese, gnocchi al tartufo, lasagna al forno, rigatoni ala vodka, and pollo a la griglia as our entrees. I definitely recommend their fettuccine bolognese as it was so satisfying and hearty. My friends really liked the gnocchi as well. Food was so good I say get an entree for just yourself, but it is very easy to eat family style here with their portions. The bella rosa mocktail was refreshing and we loved tiramisu we had for dessert. Our server, Eduardo, was so essential to the good experience and was very attentive to our table making sure we were comfortable and taken cared of. Our birthday girl was treated especially well and every interaction with him was so positive and fun. The energy here was great and the birthday girl really loved the presentation of the food and desserts with special golden candles. Eduardo really made us feel like welcomed guests and good friends and we would definitely go again for him! Definitely check this place out if you’re looking for an Italian spot with good portions and nice ambiance.

5 /5 Erica Faust: Nice to be able to sit on the patio in winter and still enjoy the atmosphere! Karma was our server and she was such a joy. She had a wonderful personality and great recommendations for us. All the food we tried was amazing! You can tell they really pay attention to quality. Oh and dont skip dessert you will not be disappointed!

4 /5 Patsy Rubio: Celebrated a birthday on a Saturday brunch hours (11a-2p). There was no wait. Only 2 large parties. After 1p the place started to get much more busier We had a large group of 13 guests. Had many entrees, some of which were recommended by our waitress. Pancakes are on spot - balanced with the perfect amount of sweetness. Prosciutto eggs Benedict and fig sandwich was okay. Ricotta fritter was a good starter. Brunch carbonara was a table favorite. Cut place for a date or large private events. Bathrooms were clean. Staff was wonderful.

5 /5 A M: Amazing Italian place. If the weather is warm, reserve the patio. They have complementary valet around the corner but due to one ways, you have to go around the block. Highly recommend their salads - quite generous size and flavorful. Decent cocktail and wine list. We had the arancini in appetizers, gnocchi in black truffle cream sauce and the pasta ala vodka.

5 /5 Rose Grisel: We went for Sunday brunch and it was good! I came here specifically because I saw they had lemon ricotta pancakes, so for anyone else who is drawn to that I would say thats not the strong point for this place. They arent super lemony, and if you enjoy homemade ricotta I would just advise to not expect it to hit the spot for that. They were perfectly good pancakes though. The drinks are delicious, with great alcohol-free options. Our waiter was very kind, helpful, and professional. If youre sensitive to noise I would visit during less busy hours.
