Ok so the food was actually delicious here! Was completely blown away by that as I didn’t know what to expect, but it was actually Michelin level nostalgic flavours. The service was very kind and attentive, and the decor has that cute old school Hollywood glam charm too. That said, some of the tables are quite cramped and you feel like you’re sitting with strangers. It is an old awkward building, but if they could make just a few tweaks to the setup and think about the customer experience at each table I think they it would really just take them to the next level of 5 star dining.

I’ve been a patron of La Dolce Vita for a decade and I am loving what the new owners have done with it! They’ve brought a refreshed and vibrant glamour to a historic place that serves classic dishes.  I recommend you order a few apps to share and I am a fan of their fish—you can’t go wrong with a Branzino!

  I had high hopes for La Dolce Vita in Beverly Hills, planning to treat my best friend to a special evening, but unfortunately, our experience fell short of expectations. The ambiance was elegant, and the drinks and wine were enjoyable, but the issues with the food overshadowed the evening.  We ordered the Chicken Marsala, and when it arrived, we noticed what looked like a clump of hair or fragments of a rag in the dish. While the waiter was very apologetic and replaced the dish promptly, the replacement came without the original side of potato croquettes, which we were informed had run out. Instead, they served a lemon-flavored spaghetti with cheese, but the lemon was overpowering and threw off the balance of the entire dish.  For a $234 dinner, I expected much higher standards, especially for a place with such a reputation. Although I quickly paid the bill to try to salvage our girls' night out, the experience was disappointing overall. The server was kind and professional, but the issues with the food left a sour note. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be returning – this was a first and last for me at La Dolce Vita.

Absolutely amazing, show stopping, incredible. The name is perfectly fitting with all the leopard print and velvet decor. This is surely my new favorite restaurant in Beverly Hills. The wait staff seem like they majored in the service industry. If you want to impress out of towners, your parents, a date, or just want to be surrounded by people straight out of magazines this is the place. The food not to mention is divine and worth every penny. Especially the tuna tartare, the pastas, and the spumoni. The cocktails were perfect too.

Happy to return to this institution especially now with the new management. Food is beyond amazing and the service is excellent. It felt amazing to see this place alive and well. Food was tasty and I highly recommend the table side Cesar salad and the meatball spaghetti! Will absolutely return!Food: 5/5

The EDDC kicked off 2024 at La Dolce Vita in Beverly Hills.  Not a very large space but the three of us fit comfortably at a small table/booth.  Ambiance was a little dark for our late night repast but well attended by a diverse and talented crowd.  We started things off with a negroni, chocolate martini, and a 50-50 martini along with the mozzarella di buffala and the shrimp fra diabola.  The blue prawns were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of heat from the calabrian chili.  Drinks were sturdy and the 50-50 side car was a nice touch.  A caesar salad prepared table side was next followed by main dishes including spaghetti and meatballs along with the bone-in veal parmesana.  The veal was delectable and overshadowed the spaghetti despite the later being impressive in it's own right.  We ended the night with a neopolitan style dessert balanced between pistachio, chocolate and cherry gelato.  Overall, a solid start to 2024 and an enjoyable night out at an aspirant for top Italian restaurant of the year.

I have known about La Dolce Vita for quite some time given that it was a former frequent stop for Frank Sinatra and many other Golden Age of Hollywood celebrities. I work very close to the unassuming building so I have been driving by it for many months but finally got the opportunity on Saturday to stop in for dinner. As mentioned the restaurant is very unassuming from the outside, I didn’t even know it was a restaurant until I paid attention to the small sign out front. Inside is a different story though, it has old world charm and is filled with dark red booths, low lighting, and is complete with a classic East Coast style bar in the front corner. Our server and the rest of the staff we encountered were very polite and all of our items arrived quickly from the kitchen. They don’t have a dedicated parking lot, however street parking is easy to find in this part of Beverly Hills or at worst there are a few expensive parking garages close by as well.  All of our dishes were fantastic. We started off with the Shrimp Fra Diavolo, which is prawns cooked in a delicious marinara, and the Clams Oreganata, which are Littleneck clams baked with bread crumbs on top. The clams were warm and tasty and although not many in number, the flavors were truly great.  For our entrees we chose the Branzino Piccata, this was my favorite dish of the night mainly because of the piccata sauce and how well the fish was cooked, and the Lemon Bucatini, which was light and packed with lemon flavor. It was a great summer dish.  Overall a wonderful classic Italian dinner in a beautiful part of town. We both had a great experience and would recommend to anyone for any occasion although it would be especially a great call for a date or business dinner location.  Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs or incline

The first thing you notice when you walk in is the bad smell. The decor hasn’t changed with the new owners and I think maybe they need to change the carpet?? I wanted to walk out but I was meeting friends. The food is just ok. The Branzino was decent and the bucatini al limoni was pretty good. The Cesar salad - which they do table side - was super below average, soggy lettuce! The wine list is decent but expensive for what they are offering. I won’t be going back until they change the carpet!

It's a shame the food is so lousy because the red booth, Dolce & Gabbana-esque ambience is something that LA is missing.  Come here if you want to spend $90 on veal parmigiana that tastes like Dominos pizza and is later stuffed in a plastic tub to take home. Don't forget about waiting 45+ minutes even with a reservation.  I hope they don't hide this review like the one I posted last year ;

We were warmly greeted by Nicole and an old friend Ashley when my wife and I first walked in acknowledging that it was my sweetheart’s birthday. This was  our very FIRST visit to this restaurant.  It was however all down hill from there. Bread was brought to the table and unfortunately the busboy knocked over the table lamp which crashed and broke my water glass saturating the entire table in front of me. Accidents do happen but instead of changing the table cloth they put two napkins over the saturated area which remained soaked throughout dinner. The table side Caesar salad was delicious. When my wife’s pasta dish came to the table I had to wait 10 minutes for my entree a $96 bone in veal chop parmigiana to come. The server we had was very nice and had warned me of how big the veal dish was. He said I would have another dinner tomorrow. He was right.  The veal was excellent and I ate only half. We asked to take home the leftover pasta and veal. A doggy bag was brought to our table before dessert. When the dessert was delivered I truly thought at least a candle would accompany the chocolate tart to celebrate my wife’s birthdayacknowledging the event when we checked inbut sadly it was not the case. We paid the bill and left somewhat disappointed. What then made the entire situation even worse is when walking to the car I realized that the half of my veal dish was missing from the bag. I quickly went back and after searching was told it was probably given to someone else. Nice surprise The manager offered to “fire up” another one while I wait but I declined to wait around. He then said he would make a note in the system so that on the next visit I would get the replacement. Based on the evening’s experience I am truly not sure there will be a next time.
