Recently my husband and I enjoyed another fantastic meal at La Dolce Vita. As customers of this restaurant for many years it had been sometime since we had last visited and were warmly greeted by Luigi as usual. Unfortunately that evening there was a problem with the lighting although this did not cause us a problem. However, I am aware... More

Having visited this restaurant for several of their 'specials nights' (but having only just joined trip advisor to rate another hotel that I recently stayed in) I feel that I must add a review for La Dolce Vita. The food is simply exquisite! The chef certainly deserves the many awards that he has won. The food is always traditional Italian... More

Having ventured into Shrewsbury for drinks and food we sat in Pub number two and consulted Tripadvisor as to where we would go for Evening Diner. La Dolce Vita came out on top so we decided to give it a go. What a sound decision that was. The food and service were magnificent. I cannot commend this restaurant enough. We... More

This is a small, family-run restaurant that stands out because of the very high quality of the food and the friendliness of the service. The chef is an award winner and the family ambience and always personal service completes the experience. I've visited several times and I've always been impressed and delighted. This is a restaurant not to be missed.... More

Just eaten again here after first visiting 3 years ago. Our only slight issue last time was that the decor needed a bit of freshening up. Well now is has been but on top of that, the food is now even better and it was amazing last time. We started with the green pea, bean penne with lemon and the... More

La Dolce Vita is one of our favourite restaurants and we were very much looking forward to starting our 25th wedding anniversary celebrations there. Dispite it being a busy evening the service, food and atmosphere were excellent. During the evening a table of diners complained that the lighting was too bright. ( I believe they have posted a review). The... More

My wife and i had not been here for a while as previously it had lacked a little atmosphere, but took some friends as we kept seeing good reviews and I do love Italian. The restaurant is small but quite smart. The food was very good with a very good menu and wine list (not large). The service was attentive... More
