    Doughnuts  were included Small portion of Donuts
    Eileen L.

    Completely unexpected hole in the wall surprise In Hagerstown, MD. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana (excellent) and hubby the chicken Marsala. The chicken wasn't to hubby's taste and they replaced it within seconds and brought out the spaghetti and meatballs, which was very good. The tomato sauce on both dishes really makes the dish. If you're getting anything there, definitely get something with the tomato sauce. The service is wonderful and fast. The best part. The value. For $20, I got my wonderful eggplant, bread, garlic bread, salad (that had actual vegetables on it,) and doughnuts. Amazing. We will be back.

    Incredible food, outstanding service, and a cozy, no-frills vibe. One of those hidden spots where everything on the menu hits the mark!

    Chicken Cacciatore + Julia Stuffed Cabbage
    Rebecca N.

    I was so pleasantly surprised by Dolce! I'm rarely in Hagerstown but the Italian/Eastern European combo seemed intriguing, so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant isn't super elegant, but the food and service are top notch. Everything is homemade fresh, from the dinner rolls they serve you first to the desserts (they give Romanian donuts on the house at the end!) Dolce has traditional Italian pastas and pizzas, as well as a section labeled European Dishes that has multiple Romanian specialties. We tried the chicken cacciatore and Julia's stuffed cabbage leaves for our entrees. I recommend the cabbage leaves - they were yummy and unlike anything I've tried before. The free donuts at the end was the perfect way to end our meal. They were kind of like beignets - mini fried doughnuts with powdered sugar. Service throughout was excellent, and the owner Julia was very friendly as well.

    Lovely little restaurant. Must try for the Hagerstown area!! It's a small hole in the wall family owned restaurant. The family is from Romania. The pizza is one of my favorite things here, as well as the Lasagna. When you dine in they always give a homemade roll with butter as an appetizer and a donut kind of funnel cake with powdered sugar as a dessert. It's a smaller space but kind of cozy inside. Service is always pretty quick no matter how busy it is and they are very friendly and always up for conversation. Overall, it's one of my favorite places to go in Hagerstown!

    Chicken Carbonara
    Dani K.

    The food was decent. It wasn't exceptional. The chicken in the carbonara was boiled and it showed. The seasoning was lacking in both main dishes. The calamari had been cooked a bit too long although the flavor was good. The donuts were similar to beignets. They were good. Service was pretty good. They were busy; it's a small place with only a few wait staff. I'd give them another try and order from the European dishes next time. The Italian fare was simply ok.

    Service was great! Food was great! Got seats FAST on Valentine's Day (we got lucky)! The ambiance was good (minus every time the door opened at the front it got cold from the cold temps outside). For a family owned business, this place rocks! Don't tell anyone about this secret little spot! ;)

    Pic of some of the food

    Good authentic cuisine as advertised. The meatball soup was delicious. The fried mushrooms were perfect and the lunch lasagna was tasty. The even had free homemade buns and fried bread dough with powdered sugar was a nice treat. The staff were very friendly too. In my opinion they need a bigger place.

    Came for a quick birthday lunch and it was just perfect. It's small so if you plan on coming with a larger group this might not be the best option. Might be an inconvenience for some but I personally enjoyed how intimate my experience was here. You can see the cooks cooking your food from pretty much anywhere in the restaurant when seated. They only had a handful of employees but the service was impeccable. They had daily specials but even with them being specials the prices still seemed pretty low so I was quite surprised by just how good the quality of the food actually was. After our meal we were given some complimentary donuts.... And stuff like that I find very special. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Hagerstown. A must try if you're in the area!

    Is this place large enough for a family of 5 to sit comfortably? We have some very tall guys and don't want to feel cramped.

    Inside is kind of small, but they will accommodate. Most people get carry out. Call ahead and Julia and her family will make sure your family is comfortable - they are the best!

    It's not amazing pizza but it's not terrible either. Put it this way, you won't be mad that you…read morespent money on it. Our experience has been mostly dependable and consistent pizza. Customer service isn't anything to rant about but nobody's been rude or disrespectful to us ever and we've been ordering from here for several years now. The price for a large cheese pizza is around $15 so it's on par with prices at other pizza places in the area. One caveat: Recently I ordered a pizza from here and noticed the dough was rolled out thinner than usual and that the mozzarella cheese changed to a noticeably lower, less sharp and buttery tasting quality. Don't know if it was a fluke and the usual vendor was out of stock on the brand of cheese they usually get, but if it turns out that they're cheapening the pizza ingredients to save money I'll be really disappointed. This seems to be happening all over town at the establishments we patronize. In conclusion, I definitely recommend ordering pizza from here for parties, a last minute dinner solution, or for game nights. Usually, there's a 2 large 1-topping special you can take advantage of--just ask what the special is when you call to place your order.

The food could be terrible (it's not) and it'd still be worth it to come in just to talk to Joe. As for the food, it's always really good, I try to get something new every time I go and it has never been a disappointment. The prices are fair, and the service is absolutely 10/10 The bad: it's really hard to decide on what I want because it's so good. The ugly: the rating that this place has when it should be a 4.8 minimum.

We started with sharing the crab bisque and having the bacon ranch cheddar fries, which were both delicious and very well presented. I can say the only crab bisque I've tried better than this is the one I make myself. However, this was deliciously creamy, had the right flavor, just a hint of spice and loaded with lump crab meat. The fries arrived in abundance, overloading the platter. They were served upon which was more than we were expecting. They were nice and hot served up with homemade creamy ranch dressing, topped with freshly chopped bacon and shredded cheese. This is a highly recommended appetizer to start your meal. To finish off the meal, we had the medium size pizza, which was actually large enough to feed another two people with us and we ended up taking half of it home, but the dough was out of this world delicious the toppings were perfectly cooked and presented on top of the pie Flavor was spot on and the server delivered an extra bottle of homemade ranch dressing on the side for us to add to the pizza if we chose to do so. We are planning on coming back tomorrow to do more Geocaching , and will definitely be stopping here to try some of their salads too. The menu is expansive and the flavors outstanding. Tony's level of quality experience and expertise in creating this menu in the 1980s is still followed to this day and highly recommended for anybody that's in the area that wants a delicious authentic Italian meal. Well done!
