Dolce is a family run authentically Italian restaurant of the sort you typically find in an Italian neighborhood in a big city. Since Charlotte has no Italian neighborhoods, they are located in a shopping center in Dilworth. This restaurant is within walking distance of our home and we go there at every opportunity to enjoy the amazing fresh pasta, gnocchi,... more

Cozy, intimate, food is superb and staff well trained. On busy nights service can be a little bit spotty but is not so outrageous you would really notice. The food is incredible - those who call it a Charlotte gem really do know what they are talking about! more

This is probably my favorite Italian Restaurant in Charlotte. The homemade gnocci, available only on Tuesday nights, is worth a special visit. It's a small place with a good wine list. Dolce serves wonderful food which brings a little bit of Italy to Charlotte. This is not Italian-American Spaghetti and Meatballs fare. The Eggplant rolotini stuffed with cheese is amazing... more
