Patio is based upon availability. Simple, Rustic, yet Refined, anything but typical. Walk into Dolce and you're welcomed by the aromas from the open kitchen. You might notice the music, its contemporary, it's rock & roll, R&B, or soul. You'll definitely notice the wines, displayed on the wall like works of art. There are no white table cloths, no dabbing the corners of your mouth, no pomp, but lots of circumstance. And perhaps the only reason you noticed the aforementioned is because you haven't tasted our food. That's when the music fades into the background. Our house chefs are proud to be 'dismantling' the dining experience, replacing it with a sophisticated yet relaxed evening that doesn't break the bank. It's the best of both worlds, yet the food is our finest accomplishment to date. Inspired by whats great with a deep appreciation for each ingredient; grown local sustainable farms, or produced and harvested by like-minded individuals. Dolce is rarely the same place twice.

Food was excellent. Prepared/cooked as requested. Steaks here are always delicious. Eddie Merlot's chopped salad is my favorite, and it didn't disappoint last night. They've changed the shrimp cocktail sauce a bit and neither myself nor my husband were fans of the new sauce - but other than that, everything was perfect. Bread served warm. Wine was excellent - and a good value too. (A Napa bottle of cab sauv wine for $75 in a restaurant is pretty good!) Water glasses kept full. We will be back.

Service was really great. We arrived at 10 when they opened so it was really cold while we were eating and our food got cold fast because of being seated right under the vent but once the heat kicked on it was super warm with great vibes. Despite the cold food it was delicious.

The food at Capri by Gigi never disappoints! This was our first time eating at the Zitt e Zitt next door to the restaurant. The sea bass was outstanding as was the meatball appetizer! Everyone enjoyed their food. The vibe was fun and the DJ played great music. Best of all was our server. She was fantastic as were the bussers who made sure our water was full at all times. Highly recommend!
