Dolce Vita

Had a great dinner. I loved the homemade sausage and rigatoni. That was a really nice touch. I'm not sure about the limoncello, though. That was nothing like I expected. Could just be me? I'll definitely go back there next time I'm in Bluffton.

My husband and I took his brother here for dinner....sadly, just getting around to doing this review. First, this restaurant came *HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*...from an area restaurant owner!! They did not disappoint, hands down...the *best* Italian in Bluffton...and I don't say that lightly because there is another gem here that we absolutely love. Wonderful stuff, food was nothing less than amazing...wine selection superb...and the canolis...let me just say I was *STUFFED*...but made room for these scrumptious delectables!! Will definitely return, and our guest from out of town was blown away!!!! ??????

Had dinner last night with my parents. From start to finish we were made to feel welcome by the owners. Chad our server was amazing. Food and wine delicious and OMG the Limoncello Cake?we will be back!

Got a reservation for two during the week, but they were not very busy. Great selection of mid level wines that were priced very well. I had a Pio Cesare Dolcetto at a very good price. Had two appetizers; the calamari was good, but not special. We also had fried stuffed zucchini flowers which were great. For the main entrees, we both had a pasta with seafood with dirrecent sauces. Both were excellent. Service was great and pricing was a good value. Tiramisu for dessert was excellent.

Rudest owners we?ve ever experienced! Had the food been halfway decent, it might be excusable but they have nothing to back up their nasty, arrogant attitude. Mediocre food, horribly presented, way overpriced (we don?t mind paying top dollar for great food), and not worth it. There is no love or passion for food in this place. If you dare to complain, the owner will cuss you out or want to fight you! Seriously! Save your money and go to a real restaurant where they care about their customers and what they serve. This place is not worth a visit. Wait staff was nice but I?m sure they receive similar treatment as the paying customers. Stay away!!!!

OH. MY. GOD. I am going to say right now that if you have any issues with Arlene or Joe see me. They are INCREDIBLE human beings. I call Arlene my ?mom? and Joe is ?dad?. My grandmother was born in Sicily my grandfather was from Calabria. That being said when I tried the soup I had tears in my eyes. I have not had Italian food like this since I was a little girl and the service is INCREDIBLE. All of the weird reviews on here are bogus and I am telling you as an Italian woman living in the Hilton head area I will never go to any other Italian restaurant now that I have been here. Arlene is so incredible and so is Joe. 10000000000000% recommend.

Thank you for making our anniversary complete with an exceptional meal! Your dishes never disappoint. We love coming to your restaurant where we are always treated like family and can enjoy a cozy and intimate setting. We will see you soon!
