    Food and service is outstanding. We always have an excellent dining experience at Dolce Bene - besides their regular menu, they always have exciting daily specials, and have gluten free for my wife. Dolce has a relaxing atmosphere, white tablecloths, and nice background music - and is BYOB.

    Consistently excellent entrees every time we dine here. Great food served on white table cloths with friendly service gives Dolce Bene an excellent fine dining, relaxing atmosphere. We each had a different veal entree from the menu and both were excellent. Would highly recommend.

    Another great dinner experience. They made something not even on the menu for one person and it was great. Had the Branzino special and the 2 ordered off menu - penne pasta and ravioli. Excellent! Service is always warm and friendly and value for quality received is terrific. Had desert of lemoncello- highly recommended. Cheesecake good too.

    Excellent dining - Each of the four of us had a different entree selection from their daily specials - all four were excellent - the Osso Buco, the Cod, the Bronzino, and the Mahi-Mahi specials were all delicious. Friendly service, a convenient rear parking lot, and BYOB are all a plus. Would highly recommend.
