This is a busy restaurant and the food was good. The staff running all over the place but was able to get food to us at a decent time.

Best piece of salmon ever. These guys know how to cook fish! Went during peak hours so it was a little crowded and noisy, but the food more than made up for it! Very great meal!

It. Was. Loud. The food was good for a decent price and the service was very good. One waiter, however, had a very loud voice and shouted to other customers over our heads several times.

Ordered appetizers that didn’t come and had to reorder them while eating. Server brought dessert to make up for missing appetizers, but we were celebrating my birthday and dessert was a glorified funnel cake; but I’m gluten intolerant so kinda ruined the experience for me as I watched my friends eat.Cost a bit overpriced. Felt very similar to Olive GardenDietary restrictions: Menu indicates gluten free options. Very good variety, just be warned the gf noodles are rice noodles. My Alfredo sauce was a soup my glob of rice noodles sat in.

Love this place! All of their food is amazing, my husband says it's the best lasagna in town. They have a killer espresso martini and tiramisu martini, I only wish their bread was better. Service is always wonderful, we get the tall guy from jersey with the shaved head pretty often, he's great!

Absolutely delicious. We were visiting Lake Havasu and I was looking for dinner for my pizza loving family. I'm gluten free so I am always looking for places with gluten free options too. Their Meat Lovers and Spinach Artichoke Chicken and Alfredo pizzas were excellent, according to my family. I got the GF pasta with meat sauce and mushrooms which was extremely good, despite the pad thai noodles they used. The noodles turned into a glove but the sauce was extraordinary. We also got the chicken finger bites which my family also enjoyed. By the way, they also have GF pizza crust. If you are in Lake Havasu and hungry for Italian definitely give this place try.

I'm simply sad that I did not take a photo. All you would have seen was an empty plate. I'm not talking generally clean, I'm talking bread swapped empty. I had the Clams linguini. Laura was our waitress. Suggested this entree. Simply stellar. The timing of service was perfect. The presentation was perfect. Everything. Spot on. Really had to share this experience. It was just that good.

This has been a while now but still needed to post!Christmas Eve at 6:30 pm I picked up lasagna for two with salad after I got off work. It took me months to convince my Italian man to try someone else’s lasagna…… it was the worst! Pure mush! It might have been 1/4 thick and pure mush . So needless to say our dinner was horrible I believe I spent around $75 all in all. A couple of days later I called and spoke with the gentleman/owner. Talking to him was awful! Just defensive really just couldn’t shut up enough to listen however just kept throwing his daughter under the bus. Saying she handles the take out that’s on her. Just rude and unreal for a restaurant of this caliber in town. Never again! Sorry not sorry

Drove to Lake Havasu for a change of pace from Bullhead City went to dinner at La Vita Dolce. We were greeted and seated quickly. Before we knew it waters were delivered with fresh bread and butter. Michael was our server. We ordered calamari that was ok the crust wasn't my favorite. I ordered the grilled salmon risotto with vegetables. It had great flavor but the veggies were amazing I could have passed on the salmon and just ate the veggies We also ordered the spicy sausage and peppers. It was good my only problem were the green peppers. I personally think green bell peppers are overpowering in a dish of any sorts. That is my personal opinion. The service was impeccable our ice teas were never empty and Michael checked on us often. It was an amazing experience to have good food and service. Which is rare these days. We will be back next time we go to Lake Havasu.
