You have to get the bruschetta as an appetizer. My sons and I had the soup for an appetizer and loved it. My wife had a house salad that was delicious with a homemade garlic vinaigrette. I had the chicken Marsala which was amazing with the house cab I was drinking and my wife had the chicken francese limone. Very tender and flavorful. My son had the lasagna and the other one carbonara with chicken added. They both loved it. The only slight complaint is it took quite awhile for the entrees to come out, the same thing that happened the time we went before. However the service from Joanna, the ambience and the incredible flavors from everything we ordered merit 5 stars.

Decided to grab dinner tonight. Our first experience at Dolce Vita was lovely. But, tonight…read moreseemed off. They were very busy maybe because of Father's Day, maybe because the rain wasn't conducive to eating on the patio where we were the first visit. It took a 10+ minutes just to have a server stop by. Secondly, they only have QR code menu's but, they have an IPad for those that don't do QR codes. Our server asked if we would like still water or sparkling water. We said just regular water. They mention that the still or sparkling is in a glass bottle for the table. They did not tell us that the bottle was $9 and we could not find it in the menu. I asked toward the end of dinner how much a bottle would have been. We had bruschetta for an appetizer. It was very tasty, but a bit on the soft side. I'm used to bruschetta being served on toasted or grilled bread. We each had a side house salad with our dinners. These were fine. Hubby had chicken Marsala which he had ordered before. Very flavorful! I had Chicken Frances Ala Límon. The top cutlet was browned nicely. The bottom cutlet not so much. The sauce is very lemony which I really enjoy, but both sauces were on the thicker side ... sort of like gravy. Both of us enjoyed the taste but not the heaviness of the sauces. We had to ask for bread that comes with the meal according to the menu. But again, our server who was very sweet was very busy with other tables. I would say the service was definitely not the same caliber as our first visit. For dessert we had the tiramisu! My husband's favorite dessert. He's eaten ALOT of tiramisu in his life. This was his favorite! Although we were both surprised to see it served with broken up raspberries but it did make the plate look lovely. We sat at a high top near the bar. The seats were very comfortable. There was "live" music but not at all what I would have expected. A young woman sang along to tracks that I believe were from YouTube as every time she'd go to another song, there was a commercial that would come on first. It seemed she might have a nice voice but it was hard to tell as her system was a bit lacking. Not at all what I had seen on the website or what others commented on. I would suggest not having live music if it will be like what we had tonight.

We then had the antipasto misto platter, which was a very full and had a beautiful array of choices. we finished off with the goat cheese bruschetta, which was my personal favorite. The balsamic glaze was perfection and the goat cheese and tomatoes were extremely fresh! They were very busy, but Service was still great! Definitely want to come back and try a few of their entrées!

All of the food was delicious and tasted fresh. Finally an Italian restaurant serving Fra Diavolo and I don't need to ask for red pepper. It was actually spicy but in the best way, flavor max! My Teen enjoyed gnocchi and I also had a spinach salad with a housemade dressing that didn't get a pic. Dessert and coffee topped the meal off perfectly. Now I'm still on the hunt for a match to Venieros butter cookie with a chocolate drop but this restaurant will ease my homesick feeling for NY Italian food for a while. Thanks George! See you soon.

We found our new favorite Italian restaurant in Jacksonville. We felt like we were in a whole new city. I asked him to pick out entrees and he chose . This was the best lasagna we have ever tasted, and the grilled lamb chops unbelievable. He chose perfectly! We will be back again with friends soon!! Thank you, George, what a night!

Our server was not very friendly from the beginning, refused to switch table for us, which was fine. But then she disappeared and did not refill out waters, we were so thirsty. The calamari was good, but a bit over fried and dried. Truffle fries were the star of the night. Crispy and delicious! The charcuterie cheese board was so so.. over priced for dried stale cheese. We also found a spider web in our charcuterie's board grapes, she said it was just paper and took it back to the kitchen. It was gross! She overcharged my friend for her wine, for not using the right name on the happy hour menu. I left feeling hostile from the experience! Not sure if I would want to come back...

The menu was thoughtfully curated, the ingredients incredibly fresh, and each dish beautifully executed. Having lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 40 years--where exceptional dining is the norm--I was genuinely surprised and impressed by both the quality and creativity of the food here. The service was equally outstanding: attentive, warm, and seamless without ever feeling intrusive. This has instantly become my new go-to when hosting guests. It's the kind of place you can recommend with complete confidence--you'll never have to apologize. In fact, I'd go as far as to say the experience felt Michelin-star worthy. Argyle was, quite simply, shockingly fabulous."

Having said that what an awesome way to end my birthday with this amazing dinner that I had at this place. One of the best Italian restaurants in Jacksonville I must say. As soon as me and my wife walked in to the restaurant we were greeted and sat right away. The ambiance of this restaurant is truly amazing and very Italian vibe. We were greeted by our server MORGAN who was fantastic from beginning to the end. She suggested some incredible stuff that as a vegetarian I tried and was just amazing. For drinks we had mojito and pinacolada which was nice and refreshing. For appetiser we were recommended with Pomodoro Caprese which was amazing especially their Pesto sauce. For my entree she suggested me Luingini Josephine which was unique and nice pasta. Morgan surprised me with a dessert which was very kind of her. Overall this family owned small business is an amazing must try Italian restaurant. I can't wait to back and try more stuff. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Back to back reviews everyone we are here again with the same group. Got my good buddy Bezos,…read moreogre, bs wife, and tragic.. Initially, we were going to Coopers Hawk, but forgot we had to make a reservation a year prior. We were told a 2 hour wait! That is wild given how big the place is. But again it is a Saturday night, and people were smarter than us and made reservations, and thus we left. After giving the news to ogre she full on had a rage attack in the parking lot screaming for those classic Coopers Hawk egg rolls. While we were consoling her I heard a soothing sound coming from behind the restaurant and we landed in front of Enzo's. We were greeted by the kindest owner ever who thankfully along with the help of her staff got us in with no wait, given how packed it was.. We were greeted by a very nice waiter who seemed all over the place though. I think he was definitely new, and was forgetful at times.. Anyways! We got three apps which were all fried stuff. Fried ravioli, Fried mozzarella sticks, Fried calamari. Honestly looking back kind of gross.. but they were solid tasting! Nothing out of the park at all on the apps just your standard.. a little tasteless on the calamari, but then again I had like 3-4 pieces because the ogre consumed them.. but then I got clarification from my good buddy bezos that it was kind of tasteless. The most tastiest was the fried mozzarella! Which shouldn't happen. Onto the entrees! Actually wait side reference note I initially ordered mussels with linguini. It was the worst dish of seafood and pasta I have ever had. I literally NEVER send stuff back, like literally never.. it feels inconsiderate and I feel like a bother even if it is just a little edible I would eat it with no complaints but I literally could not. It was so fishy I am now writing this nauseous. Some of the mussels were also closed, cold or broken.. it was just very very poor and I'm mad I had three mussels. The first one was crazy fishy, but I gave it another shot and then another, because I believe in second and third chances. But no, I was grossed out. Not to mention consuming all the fried prior. I also ordered a soup that was forgotten, and didn't get my cocktail sauce, but not really an issue if the dish was made to torture people with. Eventually I did get my soup and it wasn't bad! But now onto the entrees! Bezos: Chicken francese Tragic: veal parm Ogre: Chicken parm Doctor B Wife: Chicken Caprese Me: after the swap I got Veal Parm (thanks tragic) Oh and we had some garlic bread, but it needed some sauce or added flavor with it idk.. Reviews! Ogre: The chicken was good Wife: Mid Bezos: *yawn* ummmm Tragic: Italian stallion Me: the veal was solid, but that dish was so bad before that I lost all my appetite and I am just bleh.. and our waiter seemed a little lost.. again nice guy but come on. All in all we are grateful we were taken in by Enzo's and that owner seemed like she was a hardworking person that definitely can inspire her staff. I loved the piano playing, and the environment was really pleasant. Although me personally I disagree with the food, that dish was the worst ever, and our waiter again although nice was extremely forgetful. I feel sick to my stomach and I probably am going to vomit. But thank you again you gave us a good night and a place to eat..

It's like walking into a small village eatery with music and memorabilia everywhere. It was a little dark, (I need light) and I'll admit I wasn't fond of the buffet style stainless steel hot bar set-up, because it made the food look unappealing in my humble opinion (looks are deceiving) The staff was an eclectic mix of people, and the owner fits the atmosphere perfectly. I'm trying to stay away from "Good fellows" and "Soprano" cliches Dawn had spinach lasagna and I settled for a couple of cheese pizza slices. The taste of the food truly betrayed what I was expecting. It was amazingly good and pleasant. A couple, and another gentleman walked in, looked around at the buffet set-up and they all abruptly left the restaurant. I'm quite sure they had that same feeling that I experienced before we were served our meal. (Thankful Dawn made me stay) I'm so glad we stayed... delicious is an understatement...it's great! (Just a little more lighting)

With the amount of sides, I was absolutely stuffed and satisfied as the combination of flavors was perfection. - Dirty Vodka Martini with Blue Cheese-stuffed Olives: A perfect martini after a work day as I traveled to Jacksonville for work.

The Alfredo sauce was flavorless, watery and just all around awful. Soggy bland chicken parm. I even tried my friend's Lugo and he said it tasted like a boxed meal. To top it off the meatballs did not taste homemade and the table swore they were premade frozen. Sadly most of the party we were with didn't enjoy their meals but we were there for a birthday and all decided to keep it to ourselves. It wasn't a busy night and our poor server seemed all on her own for the most part. Dishes piled up and expected someone to come help her clear for the party or refill drinks. She did the best she could. The only redeemable dish is the pizza. The godfather pizza was great with crispy edges and full of flavor. Please just stick to pizza! Pleaaaaassssseeeee The food photographs well but oof I couldn't even eat my dish.
