About Dolce Vita

Dolce Vita has been a mainstay of the Ainsdale dining scene for more than 30 years with the second generation of the family now closely involved with the business. The restaurant has its own distinct and vibrant atmosphere and serves a wide selection of Italian and Mediterranean dishes at competitive prices. Everything is freshly prepared under the supervision of Head Chef Tom Wareing (who trained under Gordon Ramsay and Marcus Wareing) and Damiano Cardillo-Stagno (second generation family member who learned his trade from his father and Dolce Vita founder Mario). Front-of-house is handled by Damiano's brother Stefano. The menu covers all of the Italian classics as well as gluten-free and vegetarian options. Dolce Vita is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday to Sunday and groups and parties are welcome. Ainsdale's Bar Mio is a sister venue.

i ate at the restaurant Dolce Vita on tuesday the 3/5 at 19.30 hrs. on arrival i was greeted by Stefano the manager and informed him it was my first time eating in Dolce Vita and i also had 2 overseas guests with me .. from the moment we arrived it was a very warm welcome from Stefano and his staff .. the service was really exceptional and the food was absolutely lovely !! a guest from overseas was actully from Italy originally and he was very very complimentary about the level of service, the food , and indeed the wine .. the menu was extensive and out of about 6 or 7 different starters and mains the verdict was unanimous ... a very pleasant eating experience , with everything as it should be and beyond !!! i would not hesitate to reccomend the Dolce Vit restauarant to friends / family and business associates .. it was awesome !!! the pricing is not overly expensive for the quality of food either ... i will certainly be returning to the Dolce Vita with my family soon !! kindest regards eddie buist " Company Director"

A lovely venue to enjoy a meal. I have dined here several times and I have never been disappointed. The staff are attentive without being intrusive, the food is excellent, and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. I can't fault this restaurant, and can't wait for the opportunity to dine there again.
