Will Be Back for Sure
This place was 10/10 for sure! The service was very attentive and personable. The atmosphere was very fun and comfortable. The food... literally amazing ! Portions were perfect for the price, not too much but just enough so you weren't super full.
The burrata and mango special appetizer was so yummy and different! Their pastas are all homemade! Must try their desserts! The pistachio cheesecake was ridiculously good. I'm from north Jersey, and i drove over an hour to try this place, was definitely worth it!
A Hidden Gem
This Italian restaurant is Michelin worthy but with down to earth prices. BYOB makes costs even more reasonable. The food is delicious and innovative. The atmosphere is comfortable and stylish.
Chef John comes out to greet and welcome guests and offer helpful descriptions and suggestions. There are many specials and he changes the menu regularly to keep things interesting and new. Pasta is made fresh on site and everything the four of us ordered was outstanding. This is an extraordinary place and was a real hidden gem kind of find.
A New Favorite Spot for Us
Dolce Fantasia is hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to in ages. It’s not just about the food (though trust me, the food is incredible), it’s about how the whole place makes you feel. You walk in and it doesn’t feel like a restaurant it feels like you’ve been invited over to a friend’s family dinner.
Dolce has that rare mix of amazing food, genuine hospitality, and a relaxed family atmosphere that makes you want to come back the next week. Easily a new favorite spot for us.
Absolutely Amazing
Such a gem of a spot! The decor is super cute and cozy perfect for a relaxed brunch. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The food? Absolutely amazing. The lobster tails are made to order and worth every bite...fresh, flavorful, and perfectly baked. We also had cappuccinos that were rich and delicious, a great finishing touch to an already fantastic meal.
Prices are more than reasonable for the quality, and the owner even came by to check on us, which added such a personal touch.
