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.

We went to this restaurant for the first time on Sat for my husbands birthday. There were 6 of us and even with social distancing the atmosphere and service was excellent. The food was amazing and great value for money. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Had another outstanding meal to celebrate my birthday. Our Daughter and Granddaughter were amazed at the quality of food . Thank you making the evening so special. Despite the new distancing measure we felt safe all the extra measures that had been put in place. This restaurant is Southports little gem.

We love Dolce Vita and visit at least once a month if not more often. Whether you just fancy a simple pizza or pasta or you push the boat out for one of their melt-in-the-mouth steaks or fresh, succulent fish dishes the food never disappoints. All the staff are friendly and welcoming, the restaurant is spotlessly clean and well run. If I have one criticism it's that the portions can be a bit too generous and I never have room left for one of their gorgeous desserts! (I did once get a chocolate fondant pudding to take away and it was just delicious.)

Went for a birthday celebration, we were a party of 9 . Everything was fantastic. Best cheesy garlic bread ever. All meals came together and were hot. Will certainly return.
