About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
La Dolce Vita opened its' doors in Beverly Hills in 1966. The biggest celebrities in the world lived only moments away, and La Dolce Vita literally became their second home for decades to come. Regulars included the Sinatras, the Reagans, the Pecks, the Douglases, and the Bloomingdales. It hosted every sitting US President since the Kennedy administration, and was known as a haven for titans of industry and finance. Deals were made with a handshake, and everyone was certain to arrive on Thursdays for Osso Bucco. Now, La Dolce Vita moves to the future, following a seven month 'facelift,' during which the restaurant was restored to its' original pristine condition, reprieving the original menu, recipes, and decor. La Dolce Vita arrives once again as a popular dining and entertainment destination, now home to young Hollywood and those seeking the traditional cuisine of Italy.

    Old-school Hollywood glamour at its finest 🎥 A dedicated martini menu, perfectly al dente pasta, and tender steak with the most delicious lightly sweet sauce I haven’t found anywhere else. La Dolce Vita is one of those restaurants where, by the time you leave, you’re already planning your next trip back. 🍸❤️ Dim lighting, cozy booths, vintage details, tableside service, and unapologetically rich Italian food that somehow still feels comforting rather than overly fussy. A few standouts: ✨ tableside Caesar 🍋 lemon bucatini 🍖 veal parm 🥩 New York strip with that slightly sweet sauce 🍰 ricotta cheesecake 🍒 spumoni The portions are generous, the cocktails are excellent, and it’s just as good for a girls’ dinner as it is for a date night. Come hungry, order dessert, and enjoy. 💛 📍La Dolce Vita, Beverly Hills Outfit Sunnies @jimmyfairly Draped top @iroparis Belt @blowthebelt Jeans @paige Sandals @dolcevita (!!!!!!!) #beverlyhills #beverlyhillsrestaurants #bestrestaurantsla #larestaurants #bestpasta

    I was really looking forward to celebrating my birthday here, but unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing. We spent $186, and I felt that the food selection and overall experience did not meet my expectations for the price. My guest ordered the shrimp but did not enjoy it and ended up ordering something else. I was looking forward to trying the lasagna, but found out it was only available on the Sunday menu. I was also excited to try the octopus, but was disappointed to learn that it was frozen. Overall, I felt there were limited options to choose from, and the experience was not what I had hoped for on my birthday. I don’t mind paying for a great dining experience when the food and quality justify the price, but unfortunately, this visit left me disappointed. My birthday dinner was not a memorable experience.

    This was our second time having dinner here and our overall experience was great. The service, the ambiance, the drinks and wine- all excellent. There were four of us and we shared everything family style. Started with the gnoccho fritto, and the mixed green salad- very good. Then moved on to the eggplant rollatini and the lemon pasta- delish! Then we had the veal parm, which we had the first time we came, and remember it being outstanding. Unfortunately, it was not outstanding this time around. It was not bad, just average. Too thin, so certain pieces were very dry and hard to cut toward the edges. For $96 you expect it to be flawless. Everything else was great, so that said, we will be back but will probably not order the veal parm again.
