1st April, updated review. Another trip to Cardiff, and still just as lovely here as I remember. The team are just great, super friendly and accommodating. I'm adding the arancini to my favourite dishes, oh my goodness, just lush!
Coming back to La Dolce Vita was like visiting an old friend. I moved away from Cardiff 6 years ago, La Vita, as it was then, had just been opened by Marco a couple of years earlier, & I remember thinking then it was a bit special, and it still is. It's a snug place with lively atmosphere, & I could believe again like I'm abroad in an authentic Italian. The portion sizes are really generous, Andy's calzone was huge as you can see, he had calamari to start with garlic aioli, which was soft and yummy. I had a single portion of the Zuppa di pesce to start, with a side of chips (fries) like Mum makes, which were lovely. The single portion Zuppa was full of seafood in a rich tomato sauce & big, I could have shared it. My Etna pizza was fab, lovely thin base, so moreish, despite the big starter, I couldn't stop eating it. Several glasses of wine & choc dessert later we left happily sated. The service was great, our waiter Tim was fab, as were the other two people serving, really responsive to requests for extras like vinegar. All reasonably priced, it was just lovely to go back. While I live in Swansea, I will definitely be taking my wife here when next in Cardiff, as it's better than any Italian in Swansea I've eaten in.

Wow!! What a little gem. Staff fabulous & service excellent along with the food. Window seat for 6 was the icing on the cake after a 2 hour request for a possible table reservation … thank you

My little girl and I attended La Dolce Vita this afternoon and loved it, staff were brilliant and the food was lovely, they were very friendly and made myself and my 3 year old feel very welcome and looked after.
I had a Pizza and my little one had the Children's deal, juice, pasta and ice cream brilliant value for £7.50.
Will be back, thanks guys

Loved everything about this evening, I flew back from Spain today and went out for food with a friend and this was the perfect place. We shared bruschetta, got the two different prawn pasta dishes and then had an ice cream for the walk home. Everything tasted so good we had to get a cheesecake to take back to our roommate. You pay for what you get here with both portion and taste. Definitely going back for a pizza night!
