Dolce Italian Café — Restaurant in New Canaan

From the moment we stepped into this quaint Italian bistro, we knew we were in for a treat. The warm and inviting ambiance set the stage for what was to be an unforgettable dining experience.

I opted for the homemade rigatoni with Pomodoro sauce, adding meatballs to my dish. The rigatoni was perfectly al dente and the Pomodoro sauce bursting with the fresh flavors of sun-ripened tomatoes, basil, and a hint of garlic.

My wife's choice was equally impressive - homemade fettuccine with truffle. The fettuccine was expertly crafted, tender yet firm, and the truffle added an exquisite depth of flavor that elevated the dish to new heights. It was clear that the ingredients were of the highest quality and the dishes were prepared with a lot of care and passion.

But what truly set our experience apart was the outstanding service. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their offerings. They made us feel welcomed and valued, enhancing our dining experience.

We ended the evening with what might have been the best tiramisu we’ve...

So, occasionally you find a diamond in the rough. This place is it! The food was absolutely superb. Distinct flavors, each resonating independently to the next sensation of taste, with a subtly that is rarely duplicated. As a chef myself, I have to say I was not only pleasantly surprised but delighted. The staff was great, the food was, quite literally, unique and prepared with skill. Pure pleasure eating it. Unmistakable unique. I would recommend this place to those with a discerning palate. I merely asked them to bring their best dishes and they didn’t disappoint - a tasty salad, carpaccio with cheese and arugula to die for, delicate fish with capers, and pasta with truffles…all of which boasted a robust, multifarious blend of different ingredients that came together to make all the dishes blend together with exploding aroma, texture and taste. Oh my God, I cannot say enough good things about this place - you need to go there right now! They are doing something right and incredible. Forget Cava and the rest. Go...

My 2nd time here but the 1st time, I didn't like the coffee & because they don't have so much options, so this time, I went somewhere else to buy it. Anyway, after almost an hour roaming around undecided where to eat (because I'm not from the area), I finally decided to grab some Tuna Panini. I'm glad I did cuz it's the best Tuna Sandwich I've ever had -- the multigrain bread was crunchy & the proportion of tuna to the bread & salad was spot on, not too much mayo which I really love...unlike other Tuna Sandwiches I had in the past where the filling is dripping while you take a bite on it. The only thing though is that they haven't updated their pricing either online or the menu. It is stated that it's $13.95 online while $14.95 on their menu, that's why I was quite surprised when I had to pay $17 (with tax but excluding the tip). Other than that,...
