I should start by saying it is August and this place is air conditioned! But that is an aside. We were greeted by smiling wait staff and it seemed they were near us at any point needed. We start w calamari but not the large fried rings you find at most places in the states. These are small but with capers and a Devine wine/ butter? Sauce . Different take and may not be everybody’s cup of tea but I loved it w the bread. We debated over several dishes as we noted our neighbors huge servings . Ended up splitting the beef ravioli but that’s not a complete description. The sauce was cream/ Parmesan / garlic/ ? That made it rich and delicious . Cold beer and good wines were also much appreciated . Several groups who appeared to be locals, including families told me this was not just a tourist spot. Service is very important to us and ambiance. This place gets high marks for us

Very pleasant, simple atmosphere, fast service, excellent attention but above all, GREAT ITALIAN FLAVOR. In my experience I ordered a fettuccini in pomodoro sauce which is a delight, the cooking of the tomato sauce was perfect and the fresh basil in the right amount gives it a delicious flavor and touch. I also ordered a 50/50 Diavola pizza and the chef's daughter's creation (if I remember correctly, that's how it is on the menu), both of which were delicious to my taste. Highly recommended.

We have dined at La Dolce at least 10 times over the past decade. The food is always fresh, service is wonderful and yes, you can get great Italian food in Mexico.
Fresh, homemade pastas and brick oven pizza are the go-to’s. There is nice outdoor patio and the restaurant takes reservations. Highly recommend La Dolce.

The ravioli which said stuffed with beef and ricotta, Had no ricotta. The sauce tasted raw.
The beef carpaccio was good. My husbands calzone was OK. The dough had too much flour on it The service was Good
Don’t sit near the pizza kitchen outside( to many flies.( Regrettably I will not be back

We didn't even eat because of the terrible service.
The table next to us, AMERICANS, of course, had up to 3 waiters around them and it took us 10 minutes.
We decided to leave.
Terrible experience, from the entrance they discriminated against us, “Do you have a reservation? No, right?” lousy option.
If you are local, don't even think about it, they treat you badly.

Food was fine, however the restarant apparantly uses an outrageously inflated exchange rate which is not posted anywhere on the bill. We were completely ripped off by the waiter when we paid in US dollars and were brought back virtually nothing in pesos. Not cool.
We wont be returning.

Hello Lynda, on behalf of all La Dolce staff I apologize for this inconvenient, because of law regulations, we are unable to give change in other than Mexican Pesos, even if you pay with U.S. Dollars or any other currency, we can assure you that the exchange rate we use is the standard in all the restaurant industry, which is usually lower than the bank directly. Please consider this on your next visit, we also are open to different paying options, like credit or debit cards too.
Thank you for your review, we will sure this under consideration to be more clear about it in the future.

La Dolce is an amazing restaurant right next to the main square in San Jose. The best way to describe it is a laid back, very reasonably priced, upscale restaurant. I have been there 7 or 8 times, and have never had a dish i didn't thoroughly enjoy. While i would recommend everything on the menu, i would especially recommend the fish carpaccio as an appetizer. They have indoor and outdoor seating, but i particularly recommend sitting outside.
San Jose has a pretty hip art scene. In the streets in the downtown area (which, by the way, are very safe to walk), there are may art galleries. So i would recommend making an afternoon / evening of it: go early, walk around the downtown area looking at / buying art, and then have a fantastic meal at La Dolce.
I will definitely be going back there on my future trips to Los Cabos.

We made a reservation online, but when we arrived they had no record of it. I noticed that in the other reviews so I suggest calling instead of doing it online. Luckily, with a party of 2 they were able to seat us right away. The lasagna was one of the best I’ve had and the sausage pizza was awesome! We split a bottle of wine and had flan for dessert. Everything from the service to the food was incredible. They also had a fun birthday/celebration tradition with fun music for guests here for special occasions. The prices are totally reasonable and I would 100% recommend to anyone who wants a nice Italian meal while in Cabo.

We attended San Jose Del Cabo, like so many others, on a Thursday night for the art walk and it's always fantastic. We have eaten here numerous times before never with a bad experience. However, on this night, the restaurant was busy so we put our name on a wait list and was told it would be an approximately 30 minute wait, to which we had no issue with. As the half hour was approaching, we sat in the small waiting area at the front of the restaurant waiting to be called. Then, a group of 5 or 6 that was behind us on the list, was seated ahead of us. We questioned why and how this happened, and maybe the language barrier played a part, but the hostess just smiled and offered no explanation to why she sat a group behind us on the list, ahead of us. We were so furious after waiting over 30 minutes for a table, that we left the restaurant and will never dine there again. Too bad really as like I said before, we've never had a problem. But this experience has, pardon the pun, left such a bad taste in our mouth, we won't be back. The hostess had such a poor attitude to us being upset at being passed over, smiling all the time, she almost seemed to take pleasure in what had just occurred.

Mr. David,
On behalf of La Dolce, we apologize for this matter. There must have been a communication problema. The reason the other party of 5 had the thable before you is because they went a head and tokk that table on their oun with out asking, the Hostess explain to them that that table was reserved and they did not cared and stayed there, so the reservation for that table arrived and we had to accomodate them on the table that was supposed to be for you aand by the time we had another table available for you, you decided to leave. I understand your anger, but we weren´t expected for this people to take over the table no matter what. We try to accomodate as many people as we can if they don´t have a reservation but, like this unusual situation, affects our operation.
Once again our sincere appologies for you and your guests.

We were welcomed by the staff when we first arrived and promptly sat at an inside table with a view of the outside patio. The owner and head chef came over to our table to welcome us. The special of the evening was a seafood pasta. It was very delicious and definitely one of the best meals I ate all week in Los Cabos. My friend ate the Lasagna which was also amazing. Service was excellent. Musicians came to each table and were incredible. The volume of the music was perfect. Highly recommend La Dolce when you are in Los Cabos area. We will certainly return in our next visit.

We had a large group of 10 people so we called ahead for a reservation. We took a taxi and asked for outdoor seating in their courtyard.
The service and food were terrific. Yes, it gets dark and you might need to turn your flashlight app on but the food was great.
Our meal included several bottles of wine and appetizers and main courses. It was a moderately priced meal even with a nice tip thrown in for 10 people.
We would definitely go back to this restaurant.
If you have the Caesar Salad - it's quite large and easily shareable by 2, maybe 3 people!

There are a lot of Italian restaurants now in San Jose, however La Dolce continues to be the best one. Calamari was tops, bruschetta tops, pizza salad tops, fresh pastas are the best. This is why I keep coming back.

We showed up without a reservation during Art Walk last Thursday and they worked hard to accommodate us quickly. And that was just the start. Meal was wonderful. Our group of three each had a different entree and all were excellent. Wonderful Italian food in the middle of San Jose del Cabo. Wait staff were all very attentive and full of energy. They made the meal.

Great food and atmosphere, and wood fired pizza to boot. We had the special pasta which was ravioli stuffed with poblano and mushroom and a pesto sauce - excellent! They also made a calzone for my kids which was outstanding. Great place.

The party of 6 before us was seated immediately and our party of 5 was told to come back in 1/2 hour. The hostess told the man that cami in about 3 minutes after us that his party of 6 would have to wait as well.
My wife sat there and waited in case we were called early. The rest of our group arrived 5 minutes prior to our reservation and the group of 6 arrived right afterward. The hostess took that group and sat them at a table that was vacant the entire 30 minutes. I told the woman we were there first and that we should be allowed the table already set for 5. She never apologized and seemed to enjoy my frustration. She then said we would have to wait another 10 minutes. I pointed out to her that our name was first on the list but she continued to ignore me. It was at that point that I told her I was upset. I was polite and respectful prior to that. I believe she took pleasure in upsetting me. I wanted to wipe that grin off her face, but instead we told her we were leaving because of her attitude. I won’t be going back again! She was terrible!
