Reviews in Southport

Not impressed. Booked for6pm for 4 people and started off very well. Attentive staff but we were the first in the restaurant. Starters and main course ordered and came out as one would expect. I had the carbonara with additional chicken for my main course. Worst I have be ever had. Tasteless. Rest of the group were reasonably happy with their starters and mains. We then waited over 35 minuets before I had to ask could we have the desert menu. Once we had finished our deserts 2 of us wanted a latte each. Over 10 minutes before we got them. This was a Tuesday evening and the restaurant was not that busy. There were also a number of items on the menu that were unavailable. Wife agrees that we will not be going back there.

Great lunchtime meal and service. My wife and I, and our friends, always enjoy our meals at Dolce Vita. Standard remains high. Thank you.

Nice food and very pleasant service. Menu similar to previous owners but not up to same high standard of cuisine. Very over priced in relation to standard of cuisine and portion sizes.

Food excellent as always with friendly staff. The only off putting thing was the woman on next table vaping constantly. Mentioned to waiter who said he wasn’t sure what restaurant policy was. A bit off putting to say the least

Visited here for the first time last Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed all 3 courses! My fillet steak was amazing and the salted caramel panna cotta, wow! My partner had a pizza, it was supposed to be spicy but he said it was very bland, that was the only negative but that wouldn’t stop us going back! Service was great too, very friendly!

There were 4 of us having 3 courses. Ribs brilliant. Really nice main courses and the best Afogato anywhere although possibly not the same quantity of ice cream as usual... but still amazing! Super staff. Always good. Only suggestion is to update the carpet into the 21st century... it's awful

Excellent, friendly, attentive service. Lovely atmosphere and decoration. You really feel you are dining in Italy. Very clean. Food and drinks are very good value. Home cooking with seasonal ingredients. Visited many times with husband and also with a group of ladies 'who like to lunch' Never disappointed. Always impressed. Will be returning.

Fantastic meal, lovely atmosphere, staff amazing. What more can I say!!

My favourite venue! As always, food was excellent quality & well presented. The staff were friendly and efficient and there was a warm & relaxed atmosphere. I never come away disappointed. Thankyou.

Great food lovely and hot and not expensive

Visited recently to celebrate my partners birthday. Nothing has changed from what we remember. Fantastic atmosphere, delicious food and attentive staff. We both enjoyed our starters and mains. We will certainly be returning the near future. Thank you to all the staff at Dolce Vita.

I had the tomato and pepper soup and spaghetti Bolognese. Both dishes were disappointing as both were too sweet, especially the soup, a common fault with pseudo Italian restaurants in this country. Perhaps the chefs need to visit Italy to taste how the dishes are done properly. My wife enjoyed her pate and gnocchi dish. Service was good.

Lovely catch up meal with friends at Dolce Vita last night. Great quality food and service..

Excellent food as always. Great atmosphere and good service.

Super good, loved the Italian music pipped through . Great attentive staff. Highly recommend.
