Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

I was pretty shocked by the experience I just had. I called on a Friday evening to order pizza for pick up. We felt like gourmet pizza, and we thought we would give this place a try. So when I called, I was told that they weren't taking orders for pizza because they were too busy.... but that I was welcome to call back later. Seriously? Tell that to the 7 year old at home. I am sorry, but this tells me all I need to know about how they treat their customers. There are no fewer than 10 pizza places within 2 miles of this place. I will spend my money at places that appreciate the business.

The ambience is more urban than anything else in Westmont and the dining room is small, lending to a more intimate environment. Staff is friendly, food is rich and delish! I love the antipasti & cheese menu, and the pizza has the perfect crispy crust. They did not rush us at all, even though the tables were packed the whole time we were there. It was relaxing, even if the kitchen was a bit noisy. I'm glad I called for reservations, and the hostess is HOT!

I didn't spend much time here yesterday with my cousin, but for the time I was there I was left with a good feeling about Dolce. It is decorated nicely, with a European feel and makes for a great atmosphere and good for conversation. We both felt very comfortable in the place. We shared an Italian sausage pizza topped with Arugula. It was very light and just tasted great. We each a Pinot Grigio, although didn't spend much time on wine but will do that the next time around. I will definitely go back to Dolce for another try. I think you should too.

Love this place. Non pretentious, casual but fantastic upscale italian food. We ordered wine, pizza, pasta and everything was delish and the atmosphere was spot-on for what I was in the mood for-- something laid-back, good food, but not super rich food. Great date night place, as I personally found it kind of romantic as it doesnt have that many tables and the front window will frost over in the winter time...just sets a cozy mood IMO.
(5)Cj L.
Not the best, the goat cheese was good but let's leave it at that
(2)Jon B.
Very bad. The pizza was ridiculous, there was little to no sauce and it was drenched in oil. Couldn't even finish half of it.
(1)Catherine D.
Love Dolce! I've been going there since it opened. It has huge potential I suggested that they need to do more seasonal cooking......They have a small area to cook in and should continue with better salads, and antipasto's, different pasta, specials and perhaps 1 fish & chicken dish. They need a creative chef with passion to pull it off.
(4)John B.
Delicious and fantastic, friendly service. The Chicken Parmesan was terrific and enough to feed a small nation. We hand the meatball and polenta appetizer along with soup and a salad. The Greek salad was very fresh and generous and the chicken vegetable soup was perfect. Very meaty. The pistachio gelato hit the spot after this very enjoyable Mother's Day dinner. Highly recommended for a meal or snack.
(5)Denise V.
This restaurant has such a warm, intimate dining room. The menu had a solid selection of choices, and the waiter was fantastic at juggling his tables and making time for everyone. The portions were good-sized, to the point where I wished I'd had room for something off the dessert menu. This is one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to in a very long time. It is very much worth the effort to visit this tucked-away little place.
(4)Natalie F.
I wanted to try this place for the past year but just never made it in. Well tonight I wanted Italian and I wanted it to be close to home. This is a very cute/small place right off of Cass Avenue across from the train station. It has a very nice ambiance and the food was just GOOD. Small inside though so go early or don't mind being a little smashed in. Now the only down side I can come up with is SMALL portions BUT if you order a side salad(which was great) and enjoy the fresh bread with E.V.O.O and parm cheese it turns out being perfect. I guess if you think about Americans are a little too used to eating HUGE portions. I enjoyed the Gnocchi - with roasted chicken, pesto cream, pine nuts. Wow what great flavors! My bf enjoyed the Tortelloni - Beef & veal tortelloni, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, veal demi cream sauce. He said it had a smooth rich mushroom sauce. Nice woodsy taste to the sauce. Friendly staff and pretty good service. Interesting that the entire staff was male. That is rare. I would like to go back sometime and order a meat and cheese tray or some bruschetta and have a few glasses of wine. :) Give them a try. Cheers!

Ate here with a friend a few weeks ago. Dolce is my mom's maiden name, so I had been trying to get here ever since hearing of the place. Service was very good. Our waiter was attentive, cheerful and even funny (in a non-annoying way). The interior was warm, intimate, and clean. Onto the food. The bread was just OK - my guess is it was purchased elsewhere. The Caprese salad was average. The cheese was a little too chilled, and the tomatoes seemed to be hot house (I'll give them a break here, since it WAS February). For mains, we ordered pasta dishes, and they were, again, average. Nothing spectacular. Then we got to dessert, which is where the meal took a decided turn to below average. I am a HUGE tiramisu fan, and asked if the tiramisu was fresh, and was told it was. Wrong answer. Clearly not only was this frozen and prepared previously (probably somewhere else), but when it was served, it was STILL partially frozen. Now, I understand that a restaurant of this size probably can't make their own desserts - however, you could find a local bakery to provide them for you, or at very least, if you're gonna offer pre-made frozen confections, at least THAW them out before serving them. To their credit, once I mentioned the frozen tiramisu, they took it off my bill, but by then, they had lost me. Unfortunately, despite wanting to really like this place, especially considering the connection with my mom's maiden name, it didn't live up to my expectations, and I can't imagine I'll be back.

Wonderful service. Visited from St. Louis and it was great. We got a salad a pizza and a panini to share.

LOVED this experience! Quaint dining room, friendly staff & small downtown ambiance. Pesto bruschetta, margarita pizza & tiramisu all were amazing. Younger guys were the wait staff, made us first timers feel like we belonged there just like all the regulars that came through. These guys sure run a restaurant well. Shaking hands with regulars, chatting with their kids, a "safe travels Mr. Soandso" exchange of words, they will make you feel at home too!
(5)Glenda C.
Really great experience! We went to dinner there on a Friday night at 5:30pm. (we have a 15 month old--- hence the early dinner time). At first, we were put off because when I called, they said they did not have a kid's menu. To me when there is no children's menu, it typically means that it is not "child friendly." (This ended up being the complete opposite). When they said that they had high chairs though, so we took a chance. We ordered a pizzza and the white fish on couscous with spinach and mushrooms. Both were delicious! Our 1 year old loved it as well! The atmosphere was fun, family friendly, and intimate. (My husband and I moved from the city over a year ago, and I would say that Dolce's has an intimate city feel to it.) Parking is decent--after 6pm M-F, the restrictions are lifted based on lower usage of the metra at that time. The waitress was very attentive and friendly and even brought our 1 year old some dough from the kitchen to keep him occupied after he ate dinner. We will definitely come back to this place to try more dishes!

Dolce's Pizzeria and Wine bar is a welcome addition to historic, downtown Westmont. Located just south of the train tracks- Dolce's awning beckons visitors to sit and linger at their outdoor tables, or sit inside where the smell of the food makes you wonder what each dish is as it comes up. While this space used to be a coffee shop for weary commuters, it is now a comfortable trattoria with wooden tables scattered about, exposed red brick on one wall and large abstract paintings hung about. There is even a small bar area toward the front with about 6 seats. Their specialty dish is northern Italian pizza served in a wine bar atmosphere. While I've never had their pizza- it looks good as several tables around us were eating it. Thin, crispy crust with lots of cheese. I met a friend for a couple glasses of wine (they have my favorite, Mt .Vedeer Cab for only $8 a glass or a half bottle for $28 or bottle for $56). The downside? They serve the wine in a casual way- not in wine glasses (my fav) but in small water glasses. I guess they are going for the casual trattoria feel but it never really works for me. I also like their meat and cheese plates. Pick any two cheeses and any two meats (only $10) and you will find yourself with a large plate with pears, crackers, fruit relish, and all those wonderful sliced meats and cheeses. Pair it with a salad and you have a meal fit for a queen. We did try a couple of their pastas- the penne with alfredo sauce and chicken (delicious, or so I am told as my friend gobbled it up) and the orrecchiette with house sausage, mushroom and vodka sauce. While the menu calls for wild mushrooms- these tasted a little more like the canned variety but it was good nonetheless. Prices are reasonable with pasta going for around $10 a dish and no entree over $18. Parking is easy with free spaces out in front of the restaurant or you can park over by the train station. And know that they have a beer and wine license so you can taste one of their many wines if you go. Service was okay- a little slow to get the drinks but quick with everything else and certainly friendly enough. Given the limited opportunity for wine bars out this way- Dolce's was a welcome surprise on the night I was there. And hopefully given the lack of empty tables- there's hope that Dolce's will survive longer than the fate of those that have gone before them in the same space.

The food is great, service is great! Get the smokes prosciutto pizza it's amazing!
(5)Caitlin G.
I LOVE THIS PLACE. This is a favorite date night spot for my bf and I. Absolutely love the ambiance and it's size. The food is amazing as well. The prosciutto pizza and pasta with vodka sauce are must haves. Also their bruschetta should not be missed esp. the mushroom one. Also try the ducksciutto. I've never seen it anywhere and it is amazing Their wine is great as well or if your a beer drinker grab a Peroni and enjoy a night out. .
(5)Dawn C.
Tonight for the first time we had carry out. We ordered a Caesar, Beet & Mediterranean Salads. All were a disappointment. The lettuce, romaine and greens were all old and had seen better days. The portion sizes for what the restaurant charged was a joke. I ordered a Cheese and Sausage Pizza and the waitress placed the order as a Cheese Pizza and Sausage Pizza. These also were not up to their standard quality. The pizzas are their normal one person pizzas. The price of this meal was over $49.00. For the quality and quantity this was expensive. Eating at this restaurant has always been a great experience, but after tonight We will not be going back.

Cute little Italian restaurant. It's tiny and I went on a Sunday evening and the place was only serving two other tables. There's outside seating and lots of parking in front. The staff was nice and professional. The menu had mostly wine by glass or bottle and appetizers/salads/pizza/entrees. Only downside was we could see cobwebs on chandeliers above the tables so that kind of ruined our appetite. Made me wonder where else they were in the restaurant... We had: meatballs, mozzerella/ tomato salad, bruschetta, veggie lasagna, and three different types of pizza. The bruschetta is good but not worth the $3. It's a small piece of bread and you only get one. It's like a regular bruschetta but has capers. The veggie lasagna was okay but I've had better- and the noodles were el dente. Everything else was delicious- we loved the balsamic reduction on the salad. All in all, nice little place to come for date night.
(4)Chirag P.
Found another nice Italian spot near us. Great food at great prices, a nice atmosphere, it could be romantic, but it's also family friendly. Try the pizzas or the fire chicken z. Get a good ole Peroni 16oz for only $5... truly a deal at any restaurant. Service is outstanding and very friendly... and it's right off of my Westmont train stop, love it
(5)Suzanne W.
This is one of favorite go-to restaurants. Reasonably priced and good quality tasty food. Ask for Natasha- great server!

Dolce is a great neighborhood restaurant. You can count on great service and quality food. Boy an at the bar is awesome !!
(5)Aneta L.
Wow ,what a gem ! Went there last night for dinner, first time and can not wait to go back again... From the interior, to food to service, just gets better and better. Our servers Maria and Monica did excellent job, recommended a pair of pizza and a great red wine with it... im def going back with my girlfriends this weekend

My wife and I moved to the suburbs from the city about a year ago, and found Dolce's because it's close to our house. We have tried a number of Italian restaurants in the area, and we keep coming back to Dolce's! It is at a good price point. the waitstaff is attentive, the portions are reasonably sized for the money, and the food is delicious. I like the decor and layout of the restaurant and the outdoor seating area is an added bonus. They have a wine list consisting of both US and Italian wines, which provides enough variety without being overwhelming. For whatever reason, it seems as though it's hard to find good Italian restaurants in the LaGrange, Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, Westmont area. Dolce's has consistently produced a high quality product and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for some good Italian food in the area. The menu is somewhat limited, but specials are available on most days we've been there (though not all). In summary, Dolce's executes its concept of providing a more upscale dining experience while maintaining reasonable price points and decent variety. It has always been relatively busy even on weeknights which can tend to stretch the waitstaff a little thin (btw, i have seen just about the same waitstaff since we started going, which I really like), yet they remain friendly and attentive. If you're looking for Maggiano's size portions, this isn't the place for you. But, if you're looking for solid Italian food in a casual environment, with a slightly upscale bistro feel then you should check Dolce's out.

My wife and I stopped in Friday night after work for dinner. A lovely spot with very friendly staff. I enjoyed the open atmosphere there. Our server (name escapes me, drat!) was extremely helpful in choosing appetizers (oh, you should do this one if you're doing that one) so we tried prosciutto, soppressata, aged asiago, and drunken goat chese. She also complimented us on your entree selections. I had the Orrechiette (sp?). It came in a perfectly sized bowl; the portion was not too big, not too small. We also had the TK Pizza. Just a perfect combination. The place was pretty full when we left. No room for dessert this time but looking forward to more adventures there soon.
(4)Brian M.
Very good brick oven pizzas! Also, very good warm bread that you get to dip in olive oil/parm cheese. The wine selection is decent and they even have a few beers on tap. 1 app, 1 pizza and a few drinks and the mamacita and I walked out for under $50.00. All in all a good place. I will be back to try some of the other pizzas!
(4)Lana J.
We have eaten at Dolce many times. Great atmosphere, you feel like you're eating a neighborhood restaurant somewhere downtown. The pizza is DELISH. The entrees are very tasty and appropriately sized. We bring our kids here all of the time - while they don't have a kids menu, they will whip something up for the little ones. Good wine list,atmosphere, service, and yummy food.
(4)Bill P.
Good service, good pizza....not bad..not real expensive but menu can be limited. Give it a try, very quiet and could be a main stay in Westmont for years to come!!

My husband and I are trying to explore some of the local restaurants in the area and decided to stop at Dolce's. The promise of Naples style pizza and antipasta platters was very appealing, as was the thought of it being a wine bar. First the positives: The restaurant is decorated very nicely and had a great atmosphere. Also, I enjoyed my pizza. The pizzas are individually sized and have gourmet toppings available. I saw a really cool oven in the back where they cook all of their pizzas. Their bread that was served with the antipasta platter tastes fresh and is great as well. The bad? Well, I wouldn't consider this place a wine bar. To me the #1 qualifier of a wine bar is that they have an extensive wine list, and serve flights to try out the different wines. I couldn't believe there were no flights on the menu. It seemed to me that there was no thought behind the wines purchased, and they just ordered wine and called themselves a wine bar. Also a negative was that the antipasta platters were overpriced in my opinion. It was around $3.50-$5 per item for the platter. We picked 2 meats, 2 cheeses and a dip. For $22 I expected more food than a few slices of meat and a few pieces of cheeses, or at least for the meats and cheeses to be artisan to justify getting such a small amount for a high price. I could go down the street to the Italian deli to purchase most of these items myself, and wouldn't make a trip to a restaurant for something that I could do easily at home. Carol reviewed that 2 meats and 2 cheeses were $10 but that pricing was not available during my visit. Overall, I would go back for the pizza, and would even try some of the entrees on the menu, but skip the antipasta (unless the $10 deal is available) and don't go for the wine experience. At the time of this review, Dolces is rated 3.5 stars, and I would call that a pretty accurate rating.

Dolce's recently re-opened last year as a Pizza & Wine Bar complete with a newly installed wood burning pizza oven. My wife and I went here again recently and were very satisfied with our dining experience. We started off with the recommended Meat & Cheese tray and really enjoyed the asiago cheese with soppresata (among other treats). For dinner, we shared a Mediterranean style pizza and an orchiette pasta dash. Top it off with a nice bottle of wine and our evening was complete. We always are looking for good places to eat near our home and Dolce's will definitely be on that list.
(4)Vanessa S.
I am a big fan of this place. The Westmont/ Willowbrook/Clarendon Hills/ Hinsdale area lacks more places like this. I would consider it a nicer version of a European cafe. It has a lovely ambiance, and the food is excellent. Very nice atmosphere, makes you want to stay for hours and relax with friends (which I have done on more than one occasion!). Excellent wood-fired pizza, and you can tell that the staff truly cares about quality by the decor , menu items, and the pride that is taken in the preparation of each dish. I highly recommend this hidden gem! Great date place, especially for dessert/ drinks!
(5)Francois B.
Based on one visit for lunch: Service was relaxed but ok. Trattoria-like menu with a selection of pasta, pizza, etc. Has an ok selection of cured meats and cheeses plates, which makes it a viable place to hang out for above-average snacks. Plenty of comfortable seating, and the place is very clean. I ordered a veal pasta. Of note was the fact that the kitchen seems to be entirely behind the bar, and I was seating at the bar: they cook on induction, I'm pretty sure CookTek, which gave me burner envy. Joke aside, the chef actually tasted his dish, and discarded the tasting spoon, two facts that will surely make me return, even if the dish itself was about average. The asparagus were cooked properly but weren't the best; the veal was tender but not quite as much as I'd have liked for a ragu; the pasta (I think it was linguini -can't remember just now) was again cooked well but didn't taste homemade. I tried the pana cotta for dessert, and that was definitely sub-par. Had an espresso, which was Lavazza, with all its pros and cons, but it was actually nicely done. All in all, a very decent experience for downtown Westmont and a chef that actually tastes his food. Will definitely return.

As of this writing, Dolce's is 2 weeks old. I hope that it stays forever. Dolce's is next to the Westmont Newsstand across from the metra station. It's primarily a coffee stop for commuters. I had time to kill before a train, so I stopped in. The decor is tres modern, and they even bill themselves as something like a little taste of europe in Westmont. They are very reminiscent of cafes in Paris or Italy. Before I talk about the food, I have to tell you about two very impressive features. As you walk in, where the cream and sugars are, they have a plasma screen running the train schedule. On the opposite wall, they have a huge display showing a live cam shot of the inbound trains. It's awesome. You can sit comfortably and watch for your train. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I opted for a raspberry juice blend (excellent) and a cinnamon roll. The total was $6.47. They have soups, sandwiches, and salads, plus an ambitious wine and beer list. I was sad to see the Brat stop go in Westmont, so maybe this will become my new spot for a drink. Check them out!

My fiance and I came here for our anniversary after looking for a new place to try out. It was smaller than I expected, but it wasn't super busy so it wasn't a problem. Actually, it was kinda nice because it felt more intimate and cozy on a cold night. We started off with an appetizer of bruchetta. We were confused at first because it gave the price for one bruchetta. Wtf does that mean? One helping? One plate with a few? Nope. It means one piece. Silly American big portions mind. However, the one piece was a good size, because it had a big heaping of tomato, basil balls, and cheese. It was really good. Then we had some wine. They were out of a few, but they still had a lot of good options. They pour the wine in a mini water glass and then leave the pouring glass there with you. We ordered a sausage pizza. The italian sausage is homemade and it had a nice spice to it. The pizza was very thin and light, so you and your dining partner can surely eat it in one sitting. The cheese was just right and the crust had that nice firewood burned crispiness. We still had room in our bellies since the portions were light, so we had dessert. I had a chocolate souflee with gelato and my fiance had creme brulee. Both were incredible. I'd come back for that alone. Our waitress was really nice and helpful and checked on us frequently. I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant and I will gladly come back.

I struggle between giving this place 3 or 4 stars. We went there last night for Valentine's Day. I picked it out because it's local and it seemed to have a nice atmosphere from the yelp photos. We made dinner reservations at 7 pm and they were able to seat up promptly. I do recommend making reservations. It was busy and I'm not sure without them you'd be able to find seating. There were 2 servers for the whole place. Although it is small, it seems as though one more server would have been a good idea. We ordered our wine and then an appetizer and he didn't take our order for our food until we received our appetizer. I prefer ordering everything at once and having them figure out when it's appropriate to put things in the oven. Oh well. He seemed busy, our waiter did. Nice and polite, but busy. He didn't explain any of the menu choices as he did to the table next to us. He just handed us the "Valentine's Day special menu" and left. We ended up ordering from the normal menu, but no explanations were given. I might have liked to order the butternut squash ravioli that he explained to the table next to us. The appetizer we ordered was baked goat cheese. They give you about 6 tiny slices of bread and expect you to finish off this giant cup of goat cheese. Um, no. And it was $9. I wish I would've gone for the bacon wrapped dates. My fiancé ordered a pizza. And finished it. They're small enough that if you're hungry enough it's good for one, but if you eat other things, it would be good for two. I ordered the gnocchi with creamy pesto sauce, chicken, and pine nuts. It was amazing. Some of the gnocchi were a bit doughy and not all the way cooked but 70% of them were perfect. The chicken was dry. Very dry. Still tasty, albeit very dry. We ordered the salted caramel chocolate soufflé for dessert. It was good, though it lacked any caramel, save for the caramel drizzled on the plate. There was no actual caramel in the dessert. Nor was it salted. It seems like a really nice restaurant and maybe we just had a bad experience. I'm not saying it was horrible, but I just think the food could've been better. Had the food been slightly better, we may have returned. However for the cost of the dinner and the quality of the food, we'll probably stick to our favorites instead.

Let me start out by saying this place use to be excellent, my wife and I have been here before about twice a year always fantastic tasting food. I always get the fire chicken Z and my wife gets the lasagna, these two entries are our faces till today...the lasagna this time had a price marked (market) wtf!!! And the z chicken was $4 more than last time and the place was empty! This should have been the red flag but we went ahead and ordwred , the lasagna was mostly noodle and sauce with little of the market price veggies, the chicken Z looks the same but was over cooked and tough and swimming in the lite butter sauce haha!!! I think the chef used a whole stick this time and forgot how to cook food which is hard to believe since he was the mgr and head chef (Mexican fellow). I said really this guy who spends his whole life cooking for other people can't reheat lasagna and cook chicken breast in a regular am out of time to please the only two people there! Wtf!!! We asked to speak to the manager but he was to busy to talk to us, un freaking believable. Then he left the building to go to the shop what ever that means. Long and short we walked out and only pages for the beer I had drank. I guess its always a bad sign when a place raises there prices and makes the manager the head cook?? Good luck to you jerks at Dolce I'll never ever go here again or rave about how good the food use to be!!! Thank god for taco express that was next door cuz I was starving and those Mexican know how to cook food and make people happy with a full stomach!!!

It was great to see my old friend and share a few pizzas, appetizer platters, beers and great conversation. The room is very warm and relaxing the service was top notch. My son had just commission'd in the Army and would graduate in the morning so we wanted a nice low key evening before the following days festivities. We had sausage and pepperoni pizzas, an assortment of Italian cold cuts, cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes and olives. The food was delicious and for desert we had Tirmasu and Chocolate cake...heavenly. If your ever in the SW suburbs of Chicago...Westmont Dolce is a must!
(4)Ann V.
My husband and I first came to Dolce's 3 years ago ... I had the LaSagne, and my husband had the Fire Chicken Z (?) ... they were both outstanding. We dined here about twice a year and we always ordered the same menu items. Tonight we came again and ordered the same ... they changed the LaSagne recipe - it was terrible, unless you don't mind paying $17.00 for a bunch of lasagne noodles with tomatoe sauce and a couple vegetables. The chicken was undercooked (tough) and was swimming in butter. We sent back the food and asked to speak to the manager. He never came over to our table. The waitress was kind and the bus boy was very nice, as well. However, we will not be going back to Dolce's.

Great neighborhood spot. Love the ambiance (great Girl's Night Out or romantic dinner). Great specials...risotto of the day!
