La Dolce Vita,

"Great food in an amazing location! My wife had the lasagna and I had blackened salmon. Both were delicious! The outdoor patio is a beautiful area overlooking the square. Marie E provided excellent service even though it was a busy evening with a concert in the square. Even though we couldn't see the stage from the patio, it was a perfect place to listen to the concert."

"Inside one the restored Victorian homes in Heritage Square Downtown Oxnard. Italian dishes perfectly crafted, the dishes stand out for their home made sauces. The portions are good size not huge. They need have the daily specials printed or updated online. The menu prices need to be updated. Craft cocktails in the downstairs bar "1901"."

"Oh what a sweet life...experience. Stopped in for an impromptu evening dinner. We were greeted promptly and seated outside on a warm summer evening. What a beautiful place. This old Victorian home was built in 1900. The entire Heritage Square is so beautiful. Our server was so friendly. She was prompt and nice. This made our meal even more enjoyable. Warm bread and bruschetta is served when you order your meal. We started with calamari. Very large portion served with a spicy aioli sauce and lemon. We had pasta. Alfredo linguini with shrimp. And seafood linguini in a red sauce. Topped it off with tiramisu! Oh my!!!!! It was Friday night summer concert in the square. Fun to sit on the patio and listen to the music. Great classic rock & roll! We will return. It's nice to add a sweet dinner out to our lives! Yes, La Dolce Vita."

"We recently went to La Dolce Vita for dinner and then found out about their cooking classes and took one in February. Loved the whole experience! Michelle (the owner) is wonderful and really cares about this place, she also teaches the cooking classes. The food is great, the staff really friendly, and the historic house is just gorgeous! I highly recommend this place. Extra shout out to Jared (in the 1901 bar downstairs) for telling us about the history of the place and for making me an absolutely delicious non-alcoholic drink (I'm pregnant) :) Their wine list is quite fab too (they have Gainey Merlot!)."
