    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

    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.

    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.

    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! ;)

    Delicious Fairly Priced Pizza, Pasta, Subs and salads from friendly people! The meal ends with complimentary funnel cake bites!

    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!

    Good food and the service was excellent. It's not fancy but the prices aren't "fancy" either. I will definitely go back.

    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.

    I don't get why the reviews here are so low... so here's mine…read more The good: Joe. Walking in, Joe will always greet you with a big smile and he's just the nicest guy ever. 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.
