Loved the ambiance; great place for a laid back Saturday. We had great breakfast and big sized cappuccinos & lattes.
A huge thank you to Jackie for my daughter's birthday lunch on Saturday. The food was absolutely delicious and we all enjoyed it so much. The staff were great and the cupcakes were to die for!
A rare find in terms of reasonably priced genuine and authentic Italian fare. Owner/manager attendance makes for a personal and pleasant service experience, and general staff are well trained, friendly and efficient... Food is honest and delicious and exceptionally well priced.
You frankly will struggle to find better....
Amazing food, excellent service 👍👍👍👍👍
Great spot hidden away (I have lived in Parktown North for a couple of years and never even knew of this place LOL)! Proper Italian food made the traditional way. Zucchini fries to die for as well as all the pasta dishes! They do homemade sorbet that is not to be missed! Loved the vibe! Great spot to take family and friends!
Delicious Pizza and pasta! We have followed this owners food wherever it has moved from Illovo to Blairgowrie and now Craighall, and the irresistible flavours and authenticity have remained. Staff and management are eager, friendly and keen to assist and make you feel comfortable. The food is amazing!
My husband and I heard about Dolce, and was advised to make a reservation, we did however not listen to the advice and tried our luck at just pitching up. The restaurant was busy, but the Manager went out of his way to ensure we have a table. Wat an amazing evening! The live music (apparently its played every Friday evening) was amazing. The wine sommelier was spot on with her recommendations and the food was close to perfect. I can not fault their service either. It felt, for a short second, like I was in the heart of Chianti Italy. We will definitely be going back.
Delicious true authentic Italian restaurant.
Nice location, calm romantic setting, tasty and scrumptious food. Prices are good for the quality of food. Great variety of food on the menu.
Would definitely be back to try the other dishes on the menu.
Arrived to a warm, welcoming restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff, fantastic service and delicious food with plenty of options. Will definitely return in future
Absolutely loooooooved the ambience, definitely a hidden gem! Coming back to unwind without a doubt. All I had was dessert after a long and stressful day, took a little long but was well worth it.
I have lived in the area for a decade and watched one restaurant, yoga studio and fighting gym after the other fail in this centre. How wonderful then that this pitch perfect Italian restaurant has arrived and appeared to defy the odds.
The selling point here is the food. I’m not Italian so I can’t tell you whether it deserves the label ‘authentic’ but like Assaggi (with which it shares DNA) it all comes across as home-cooked with the best available fresh ingredients.
The wine list includes extensive by-the-glass options which are all great choices. And the vibe is simple, friendly and welcoming.
A real treat.
Definitely one of gems in Joburg. Service is good, staff are really friendly but not all over you kind, never really disappointed with the food (though pasta could be a bit warmer?), beautiful desserts too. hope they keep the standard, cause so far so good.
For years, this restaurant has held its ground in JHB, consistently delivering authentic Italian tastes. If you're hunting for hand-made pasta – a rarity in this city – then this place is a must-visit. The Rosa green pasta is particularly noteworthy, and their gnocchi, especially the creamy napolitana version, is simply delectable.
They've given their space a fresh twist with the addition of a new pizza oven and a stylish bar area. These additions undoubtedly enhance the dining atmosphere. That said, they have revamped the whole restaurant to make it look better, but still, classic family vibes. It's worth hoping for some upgrades in that regard.
On the beverage front, they offer a decent range of beers on tap and a respectable wine selection. All things considered, for those in search of genuine Italian flavours in the heart of JHB, this establishment is a strong contender.
Takeaway for my 1st time everr trying this place that I've been trying to get to go forever!
So decided I'd do a takeaway
It was perfectly perfect.
Been craving a Buffalo moz filled pasta since Italy in June and well only place iv seen that makes it. So today was the day.
Outstanding and perfect. Can't wait to get the chance to come in and try everything on the menu
outstanding from top to toe, fresh delicious homey Italian and excellent service in a beautiful place. thank you
Friendly waiter, management was a bit aloof… nice light, decent size tables, tasty food. Portions are a bit small which made it feel a tad pricey… tasty though!
Food was good despite the order being slightly wrong. Would be a 5 star experience was it not for the service being quite tardy. Perhaps we had an inexperienced waitron.
I ate the Gormet Salmon Avo, it was delicious and would certainly recommend.
Had the squid, potato and tomato salad and it was truly delicious!
Flawless. The food, staff and ambiance at Dolci was amazing. The pizza are fresh with a crispy base and a slight chew in the dough. All desserts were top class. Can highly recommend
Great service, great breakfast - every dish with a twist. Staff with a sense of pride and ownership. Definitely going back!!!
Okay so now this is the best pizza I have had in jhb probably the country.
My father loved the canaloni.
Wow I'm impressed well done will be back to check consistency because this was amazing 👏 🙌 😀 💜
