From The Franklin to Bread and Salt, the Heights is undergoing a surge of new restaurant openings this summer. You can now add La Dolce Vita to the growing list of food options.
The BYOB restaurant just opened at 398 Central Avenue and specializes in Italian cuisine. La Dolce Vita is a fairly spacious restaurant with table seating and a large counter area where you can grab a solo bite or a quick lunch. There’s also an amazing mural by French artist, Jaek El Diablo.
The restaurant serves a mix of pastas, burgers, and sandwiches. Sandwiches range from $7.50 to $22 and include everything from meatball subs to a NY Strip Steak sandwich. They come in sizes small through large. (Most diners will be more than satisfied with a “medium” size sandwich).
Pastas at La Dolce Vita ($9.50 to $18.95) include gnocchi bolognese, orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe, and mushroom-stuffed ravioli. There’s also a nice mix of heartier entrees like a surf and turf special ($39.95) as well as a New York Strip Steak ($29.59). La Dolce Vita also has catering options and dinner specials for families of four.
The restaurant is still in soft open mode, but they’re open seven days a week. You can follow La Dolce Vita via their Instagram for updates and a sneak peek at some of their dishes.
