Dolce Riviera

I almost passed this place up because the 3.5 stars, but my gut led me to the right place. This is the perfect place for brunch, especially with a big crowd! I originally booked this restaurant for 10 people, and of course, we had a last minute addition of 3 people, and this restaurant was extremely accommodating, we were blown away by their service.The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and spacious.We did the mimosa bottle service for $40, totally worth it. I ordered the brunch carbonara....SO SO GOOD. Please get this. Family and friends at the table got the lemon ricotta pancakes, cannoli French toast, and the classic breakfast, we all loved our food. I definitely want to come back to this place for dinner!

This restaurant does not have a parking lot but has complimentary vallet. I went during Sunday brunch and they seemed short staff with only one attendant and I had to wait about 15mins.The entrance of Dolce Riviera is picturesque and looks like a hidden Italian restaurant in the middle of Dallas. My party was already seated and since we had reservations so there was not a wait. There was a special Valentines brunch our waiter assumed we wanted and told us he already placed the order. Although the brunch menu looked appealing we were not hungry enough for a 3 course meal.Of all the menu items our table ordered including the French toast, donuts, avocado toast, and frittata, the pasta was the best dish.Our service was below mediocre, however I would come during warmer temperatures and try the Carbonara which I hear is delicious.

FOOD IG: @northtx.gemz**** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: upscale Italian food. Known for their interior and covered patio seating. THE VIBE: literally feels like you transported to Italy. Full of "lemon" trees. The patio is actually a covered patio so you can sit "outside". Literally such a gorgeous restaurant. Top 3 prettiest restaurants I've been to. PRICE: ~$25 + $5 tip WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! ****Overall Rating: 10/10- If you have been here back when it was going viral, you probably will think this place is overhyped. Having tried it recently, I can say they either improved the menu or have just perfected their craft. - Server was super polite and sweet. Service was quick and efficient. If you have a reservation, make sure everyone is there before you check in!- THE FOOD. I had the brunch carbonara and it was absolutely phenomenal. It was rich and hearty and had so much flavor! I was obsessed with the egg yolk too it added an extra level of creamy. - My friends, @cassidyyjones @diamond.lowman @nix_mor loved their food too but they probably will drop their opinion down in the comments! - They have an affordable mimosa service and some drinks to choose from!- An absolutely divine restaurant. I can't wait to go back. It's a great place to take someone to if they don't come to Dallas often!

We went here on a date night & sat in their beautiful patio. It was very nice. We had the most amazing waitress Olivia that went above & beyond during service. She brought us out this fabulous dessert that looked like a lemon & tasted like heaven!!!! She did this on her own doing & we have been craving it ever since. Insane!!!! The food was delicious & their basket of olives & focaccia bread was nuts before the meal. We had great cocktails, but the service was top notch. We will be back!!!

Super cute spot! We came for brunch and sat inside next to the giant lemon tree which was so cute! Loved the decor! I had the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes which was really good! Light and fluffy. Pretty big so it's probably shareable. My friend got the Cannoli French Toast and liked it as well but again just really big so it was a lot for both of us. Glad we didn't get an appetizer even though they sounded great! Service was also great!

All the stars are for the ambiance of the restaurant and the food presentation. Very cute, lovely, and felt like a warm place - picturesque and IG worthy, same with the plating of the food. I can appreciate the fresh made pasta but something about the flavors was the issue, there wasn't any. Most of our dishes were bland and nothing stood out except for maybe the carpaccio. Service was just ok. *All the dishes we got aren't pictured

The atmosphere is great here and one of the reasons I love this place. The valet gets backed up so getting in can be a challenge. The food is delicious and service is usually great although getting refills can take time and food may come out at different times. Overall a good/trendy place to go.

I cannot stress enough how amazing this place is. The ambiance was so beautiful and cozy ( i went at night ). I had the redfish and it was diviiiiineee ! Melt in your mouth good ! My server was very nice and made sure our water was full. I also had a white wine to go with it and i could've closed my eyes and been in Italy. Definitely recommend this place and i WILL be back !

Very aesthetic space with a lemon tree ceiling. I ordered the Frittata, this was a large portion with a lot of varying textures and vegetables. I also ordered an aperol spritz that was tasty and refreshing. The service was pretty good. There was some disorganization with the serving. Granted we were in a large group. We had a missing drink, a hair cooked into a dish that had to be taken back, and missing side items. My food, I personally enjoyed, but I did take note of those mishaps.

I recently celebrated my wife's birthday at this Italian restaurant , and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The restaurant is incredibly charming, both inside and out. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with cozy, intimate decor that makes you feel right at home.We started our meal with the calamari appetizer, which was perfectly cooked and deliciously crisp. For our main courses, I had the Fettuccine Bolognese, which was rich and flavorful, while my wife enjoyed the Lasagne Al Forno, which was also good . Both dishes were well-prepared and truly satisfying.To top off the evening, the staff surprised us with a special dessert to celebrate my wife's birthday. This thoughtful gesture added a sweet and memorable touch to our dining experience.Overall, Dolce Riviera provided us with wonderful food and a lovely atmosphere for a special occasion. We'll definitely be returning for another visit!
