Shreveport Bossier Reviews
The fettuccine was quite good. The Alfredo sauce has a thicker consistency with excellent flavor. The lasagna was just ok, lacking something I can’t put my finger on. The bread and butter are similar to La’taliano. We had a Caesar salad which was decent. It’s a new place and the servers are absolutely hustling and serving double/triple duty. I can’t imagine starting a restaurant and trying get all the pieces of the puzzle together. It’s missing some ambiance, which I’m not qualified to fix. All-in-all a good experience. I hope they succeed. We’ll be back for sure.

This little restaurant has only been open a couple of months but it packs a power punch with its menu. Our calamari was perfect; not burned or chewy-just perfect. Our meals were served hot & with plenty of flavor. We will be back. Go early or get a reservation, you won’t regret it.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. The lasagna was well cooked and a hefty serving size. The redfish was delicious with crab and shrimp. We will be informing our family members of the fine atmosphere and cuisine!

The food is wonderful and very reminiscent of our travels to Italy. We have tried several dishes (Alfredo, Chicken Marsala, Clams) and they were all excellent. The tiramisu is melt in your mouth wonderful! We love the chief and wait staff that are always trying to give us the best experience possible. The portions are large so you will have some left for later.

First, I want to say the young lady serving us was very good. She was polite and attentive. Now for the negative. I’m going to try not to be mean here, but I do think it’s important to be honest. if you’re going to write your menu in Italian, at least spell the words correctly. Sure, 99% of the people would never know, but attention to detail is important in the restaurant business. Next, you can’t pull off fancy restaurant when you have a fairy lights. It doesn’t work and the bubble gum machine in the corner doesn’t scream fancy either. On to the food. I lived in Europe for nine years so I understand that Italian food and Italian American food are markedly different. The food here is an insult to both. Either way, the food was terrible. The lasagna was room temperature. It wasn’t hot or cold. It’s almost as if the ingredients were thrown together and it was never actually placed in the oven. The sauce was bland. There weren’t any noticeable flavors. I’m not sure how you can have tomato sauce that doesn’t even taste like tomatoes. The shrimp were advertised as “imported” so a thumbs up for honesty. The bread was dry and tasted stale. Another basic rule of cooking is don’t mix breaded dishes such as fried calamari into a sauce. The breading turns to doughy mush. Additionally, the pasta was overcooked. That is a sure sign of someone who doesn’t know how to cook in a restaurant, as cooking pasta is a very basic cooking skill. My recommendation would be to hire someone who can actually cook. I’m not being mean. That’s a legit suggestion. Compare this place to L’Italianos or Romas and you’ll see what I mean. I’d seriously rather have jarred sauce. It’s disingenuous to use frozen and prepackaged ingredients and charge $20-$30 a plate. Sorry, but I cannot recommend this restaurant at its current state. Perhaps I just came on an off night.

Best Caesar salad I ever had!! Also shared an order of Chicken Parmigiana-portion was huge and we couldn’t eat it all! Service was great as well as atmosphere. If I had to give a negative the bread was too hard but the server apologized up front and said their oven was wonky at the time! I am wishing for a lunch menu but La Dolce Vita didn’t disappoint! I’m going back for certain!!

My husband and I were craving Mexican and thought we were walking into Pepe’s on Airline Drive after church on Sunday. We walked into a completely different atmosphere where we were greeted finely and told that this was a new Italian restaurant. We decided to stay and dine, and we’re so glad we did. Our service was great, and our lunch was amazing. They bring out bread and butter, which I’m always a fan of! We started off with marinated crab claws (my fav). I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and mushrooms, and my husband ordered the spaghetti and meatballs (not sure what the exact name for it was on the menu). The dessert menu looked amazing, but we were already so full. We will certainly be back soon! We’re excited to give this whole menu a try because it all sounds great! We’ve found our new Sunday spot. They are only closed on Mondays, we were told.

I went into this restaurant to celebrate my aunt’s 70th birthday. To start we had to ask about our appetizer because it never came. I also ordered spaghetti with meat sauce for my two children… it never came. I ordered the red fish…. It NEVER came. Everyone was packing to go boxes and I still had no food. They told me they would cover my meal. Ok, just box it up and I’ll eat it tomorrow..disappointed but not a big deal. We receive our check and my meal is on the ticket, so I ask. Since I did not want to pay for the meal… they picked up my boxed meal off the table… unbelievable. The chef/owner has not ever surfaced to apologize for the situation. As I’m leaving I try to talk to him about this horrible situation and he was beyond rude and disrespectful actually waving goodbye to me. In my 44 years of dining out in all types of restaurants, I truly do not believe that I have ever been treated with that much disrespect. Save yourself time and money and find a local restaurant that appreciates your business.

This is the BEST place for Italian in the twin cities. Food was worth way more than I paid for it. High quality, nice staff and everything.
