Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Arlington

Very great experience, our server was delightful. Really enjoyed my Birthday dinner

Alexander was great….everyone at the front desk was also welcoming.

Fantastic experience overall. Food was exquisite, thoughtful and well composed. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better meal. Drink selection didn’t feel as up to par as the food menu. Basic options. Bathroom is up an entire flight of winding stairs which is fine, but be cautious in heels. They were out of toilet paper, so that felt overlooked. Bar with live music ramped up toward the end of our dinner but wasn’t overly loud and soundly lively as we were exiting.

Had a wonderful experience. The table was in a perfect location for a special Valentines dinner. The kitchen modified the dishes based on my wife’s food allergies, and they still tasted great. They even had almond milk for her coffee. The manager was fantastic. Although we had forgotten to use a gift card when we paid, she took care of us when we returned so that we were able to use our gift card.

Dolce Riviera was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and the staff was very professional, particularly the manager and waiter. The arancini antipasti was topped with fresh, seasoned arugula, doubling as appetizer and palate cleanser. For entree, I had the gnocchi with salmon; creamy and perfectly cooked, it was the real-deal of northern Italian dishes. Dolce is definitely the type of place you can take that special someone for a luxury experience. If you're looking for the next Italian fine-dining experience, Dolce is the place for you.
