Dolce Riviera

"I would give it zero star if I could. Super disappointed at the food quality and service. Waited over 50 mins for our food, I took a photo of the fried calamari (too bad it’s blurry), I was shocked at how bad the quality of the ingredients were, the pieces were super thin, dry and over fried. I had to ask 3 times for the coffee to be refilled and that took 20 mins as well. Service was non-existent. I get that they’re busy but it’s clearly poorly managed. We had high expectations but regret coming here to celebrate my birthday."

"I was extremely impressed by this restaurant! I was planning a dinner for a bachelorette weekend, and this came up on Dallas101 site, it matched our “Blue” theme and gave a very elegant look. The food was so delicious and they had so many options. All the staff was very kind, and congratulated the bride all night. I will definitely be back to this beautiful place!"

"The decor was very well done and there were several sections you could be seated in all with a slightly different vibe. We went for brunch and I was slightly let down that I had made a reservation with a note telling them we were going for a birthday and if they could contact me and no one did. When I tried to call I wasn’t able to get in contact with a person. The food was good. I specifically went for the blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes and they were mid. I also had the benedict and I was more pleased with it. My husband had the Classico and French toast which was tasty and rich."

"I am absolutely blown away by Dolce Riviera. My friend and I went on a Saturday night. The decor is beautiful and elegant with dim lighting. It was amazing for a girls night but also would be a great date night spot. I made a reservation with open door requesting a booth so my four year old was more comfortable. When we arrived at the host stand not only were the two young ladies incredibly kind but also had already read my request and sat us at a booth. A kind young woman named Angelica came and filled out water glasses. When our waitress, Jessica, came to the table she had also read my request and that we wanted girls night but the sitter can canceled. Jessica’s first approach to our table was to bring us champagne! I was blown away with the kind gesture. Don’t get me wrong, the food here is to die for…but the service at this restaurant is really what makes it so special. There is no kids menu but Jessica said she would ask the chef just to make a little spaghetti and the chef made accommodations for us (and it was delicious)! Also, Jessica hunted down some paper and pens for my daughter to draw on. Several staff members came by our table consistently to make sure we were enjoying our experience. We got the off menu truffle pasta served table side from a cheese wheel….oh. My. Gosh. Amazing. We also ordered a cheesecake for dessert and the staff included an extra dessert with a sparkler! My friend and I had the best of time catching up and my daughter was entertained and comfortable the entire time. I cannot recommend this place enough (and if you go, ask for Jessica! She will certainly make your experience magical). We will, without a doubt, be dining here again."

"I was very impressed with the pictures when my family picked this restaurant. Showing up and using valet made parking easy; but I suggest using a ride share service. The shade of the frost tower made sitting outside very pleasant. Inside with air conditioning was even better. Watching the food coming out of the kitchen and being bussed to the tables, you get a preview of how well your food will be presented. Brunch was very good but I was more interested in the dinner options. I'll try that next time."
