It's hard for me to give any place 5 stars. Normally I wouldn't overlook the dated decor but you just cannot resist the charm of this place... especially Chef Julia!! Get here early to get a seat, because it's small. You will be greeted with a warm delicious Italian roll that you will reorder more for your meal! I could decide between lasagna and Moussaka ! Chef Julia offered to give me half of each and boy were both a delicious treat. She asked which I liked better and I think the moussaka won out by a small margin. But I'm pretty sure I'll need to return just to make sure!! And the sauce !! Simply WOW! Fresh , tasty and did I mention WOW!! The staff was friendly and very attentive!! They finished the meal with these delightful donut like treats covered in honey and powdered sugar ! What can I say, I'll be back !! I want to try more of her recipes. In short, it feels like your going over to grandmas for a meal. What could be better than that? read more

Every time we walk in we are greeted by a bunch of greetings! You know you are welcome to eat there (well carryout) which is nice! Food it hot and I love the way they have a variety on their menu but it's not overwhelming. Make sure you order the Tiramisu. Not too bland not too sweet. Ps. Check out the daily specials. We got a great deal and fed 4 people for under $40. read more

Ordered their chicken parmesan, chicken marsala and pizza. All hot and fresh! Staff were super sweet and welcoming when we walked in and they gave us $10 off our order! They also gave me a coupon card that doesn't expire! This is only my second experience here and its just as great! Thank you so much! read more

I'm a repeat customer that loves the food, prices and overall service. I've tried several things off the menu and enjoyed them all. The portions are huge which I love haha. Try the Stromboli or gyro. read more

Wasn't able to get out the car and they worked with me. Food was good and was ready quickly. I was content with my first visit at Dolce.

The Eggplant Parmigiana was perfectly cooked and the marinara on the side spaghetti was so good I'm asking for extra next time. Everything was hot with delivery. Thank you Dolce. read more

Check out this review of Dolce - Eastern European Restaurant & Pizza on Google Maps https://goo.gl/maps/vHRi7XihxcbFxLLw8 The best Italian in Hagerstown since the days of Rocco's and Mrs. Corsi's. Plus the delicious addition of Eastern European items like moussaka. read more

Dolce's is amazing. Their food is always delicious and the service is impeccable. Highly recommend their calzones!

The food was good, cute little restaurant. They also had these amazing free biscuits or some kind of bread as a free side. Would definitely go again! read more

We just moved to this area a couple months ago. Have been trying to find some good pizza. I have found it! Absolutely outstanding! I can't wait to try other menu items. The lady in the front is adorable! I don't knowing she will appreciate being called that, but she seems so excited about the food! The whole experience was spot on! Next step is the being the SO to see if he is as pleased! See you soon! read more

You must try the stuffed peppers, seriously delish! This is a true corner family restaurant that serves homemade food with love. People come here for the house specialities, pizza, subs, and the generous meals. If your craving a chain style meal skip this place, which is fine by all its patrons. read more

I had friend of mine that was teaching close to my home in PA. We decided to meet in the middle. Found Dolce on Yelp and it was excellent. My friend has a job that if I tell you what he does ...never mind . Growing up 15 mins from The Bronx I can tell you what good Italian food is..Dolce s the best dinner I have had since I left the city. The three of us that night had three different dishes and all were excellent. Dolce is a diamond in the rough. Frank the retired firefighter. read more

Very good food, all home made with some very eclectic items specific to the chef! Always great!

Love this place. If there is such a thing as an Eastern European and Italian dive, this is what that would be. Food is consistent, and for the most part, very good, if you're willing to step out of your comfort zone. I wouldn't recommend ordering anything you can get anywhere else, because those aren't the items that shine. You can get a sandwich and frozen fries at any restaurant. No alcohol, but you can bring your own, which is even better in my book. Solid place. A little cold in the winter, due to being extremely small, with the door opening constantly, but don't let that deter you. Friendly service, but can get quite loud. But I guess that means people are enjoying it. read more

This little hole in the wall has amazing food. Anything that has to do with dough is sooooo good! The crust on the pizza was some of the best I have ever had, the roll on the subs were perfect, and the complimentary donuts at the end were off the chain. Will definitely be back and be recommending this to people. read more

We had Lasagna and it was terrific! We are ordering it again and The Philadelphia Ziti. We have also had their pizza.

We love to find little local restaurants off the beaten path when we're traveling. This was definitely a diamond in the rough! We ordered Stromboli and shared it. It came with bread and donuts for dessert. We were waited on by a number of people asking us if we had everything...everyone was kind and very attentive. The owner made her way out to the guests twice while we were there. Just so you know...this is a tiny establishment that is just a house with about 12 tables...but it's definitely worth a try. read more

This pLace is a great place to eat . The lasagna and steak and cheese are my favorite.

It's a small Romanian Pizza Shop with Eastern European food. The pizza dough is really good and cooked throughout. I ordered a supreme pizza and the topping were fresh every time. There cheese pizza is also awesome. The pizza sauce is super favorable and one of the best around Hagerstown area. The owners truly care about your dinning experience!! read more

Friendliest people , feel good environment. Pasta , pizza all delicious . Of course can't really avoid the grease that comes w any pizza I just dab it off w a napkin. Prices are very fair and daily specials make it even better! Thanks for the great food! read more

Awesome food at decent prices. We ordered lunch for the first time and picked it up. WOW!!! Meatball sub was amazing, the fries were hot and crispy, and the steak calzone was stuffed with meat and cheese. Enough for two meals. Definitely going back!!! They gave my wife some garlic bread to munch on while she waited. Can't beat that!!! read more

We had a medium Pizza, half vegetarian half supreme. It was the perfect his and her Pizza. All the entrees are fresh made from scratch. Service was excellent as was the food. It was the best pizza we've had in years. I highly highly highly recommend. read more

On my trip from Pennsylvania to Virginia, I used yelp and found this wonderful little hole in the wall. I asked the very sweet waitress what I should have. She suggested a "chef's surprise." I'll keep it a surprise. Too much food but I'm not complaining as I did not eat lunch and was hungry. Don't come here looking for upscale cuisine. Come here if you are looking for home style cooking in a great atmosphere. Bring your own wine. Chat with the owner and her sons that own and run the place. If you speak Romanian, even better. I don't, lol. read more

My family and I went to Dolce a few weeks back, and it was a fantastic experience. Our waitress was extremely friendly, and kept checking in to see if my 2-year-old daughter was enjoying herself, which is definitely beyond expectation. As others have said, the fresh rolls are excellent, and the quality of the food is very good. This is definitely the friendliest restaurant that I have eaten at, in Hagerstown, and we will definitely be back. read more

A little out of the way but worth a visit. Had a medium calzone that was plenty for the two of us. Friendly service. Simple quaint atmosphere. Great food and service. We'll be back again. read more

We ate this place yesterday ! It was terrible! Will never go again! Two of our sandwiches the rolls were so stale and hard you could not eat them. The creamer for the coffee curdled when put in coffee! The waiter had no idea what he was doing ! It was very cold inside ! Not the cleanest place! If you only go for the fried bread with powdered sugar go to Krumpies and get a good doughnut! You will leave smelling like hot grease ! Not happy read more

This restaurant was fabulous. It was our first time here and we will be back. We had the vegetarian pizza and a steak and cheese sub. You get a little roll with butter upon arrival and some fried doughnuts for dessert!! read more

Even though it is a small place to eat, the foods taste will trump everything else. They give nice bread rolls in the begging and everything taste super genuine. The best part about this is that I can tell that this is real food and it is nothing that will leave you unhappy. Every time I go here I walk out happy. After filling up on the food, we get the delight of eating an authentic Romanian styled donut with a touch of honey! read more

Incredible food, friendly people, the epitome of a hole in the wall restaurant. Their European specialties are simply delectable!

I've been going here for years, I have never been disappointed. Seriously amazing food, family run, great prices, and great service. You cannot go wrong when you order from Dolce. read more

The food was sooo good and the customer service was good as well. Definitely recommend 10/10 experience

Love this little peace of Italian heaven. Was driving around and saw it and took a chance, so not disappointed. Owners were so nice, gave me the most tasty roll to enjoy while I read the menu. Got the spinach pizza, antipasto salad and tiramisu. All were just amazing, can't wait to go back!! read more

Love this small family run restaurant. Our standard takeout is the white pizza with broccoli, shrimp and fresh garlic. Went in this evening to eat in and had the Carbonara, chicken parm, and eggplant parm. All were large portions, and perfectly flavored. Also love the marinara and donuts to finish things off. Thank you for making such delicious food and being so friendly. read more

A real hole in the wall surprise place - and for a choice made completely on the strength of the preceding Yelp reviewers - it came through perfectly - we had exactly the meal we were hoping to have. Its a family run no-frills friendly place - Julia is the bright, bustling life-force here - and you are pretty much treated like a family friend. Menu items include gems like "Julia stuffed cabbage" - which I did not try, but along with the Moldavian chicken - Julia is from Romania, she says - leaves you with something unique to go there for.The lasagna & ziti we ordered were just right for us - came with hot rolls from the pizza oven, garlic bread & a very good side salad with a nice balsamic vinaigrette.. Free beignets for dessert, and club soda was free as well. An excellent dinner for under $30 - well actually under $40 with tip. No alchohol or credit cards as mentioned before. Another tip - the front door opens directly on to the dining room - the place is really a small cottage that has been turned into a restaurant - so if you want to avoid a cold blast, seat yourself on the right side ,away from the door opening. read more

You wouldn't think much of this place from the outside. Hard to park, looks like a dive, & a strange hard to find location. Step through the door & you are welcomed, by the cooks & the owner. The owner looks a real character. Old style chefs hat in a strange dazzling pattern. I only wanted take out out, but I was treated like they knew me like an old friend. Told to sit & make myself comfortable, seconds later a complimentary roll of bread along with a knob of blended butter. I insisted thati just wanted take out. 'Customer must be hungry eat bread' ok I praised that in a slightly racist manner... Not taking the piss that they were Eastern European. Honestly!!! I browsed their menu further as I ate the lovely homemade bread. Ok I'll get some tiramisu to go... Nice tactic!:) Customers came in as I waited. The owner treated them the same as me. In fact one said something about being mothered. The owner replied 'here I am everyone's mother' Very endearing. Pizza was ready along with the tiramisu. The boxes were opened for e to make sure I approved of them. Who else does this??? The pizza was wonderful! I think ths may be my new favorite pizza place! Seriously service like this with great pizza!!! Will be back, dragging the wife along to eat in next time! read more

I pulled off for dinner on my way from DC and was happy I drove out of my way for it. Very friendly staff, who brought me a piece of bread and butter to try while I waited. The"medium" Stromboli was very large and nice to eat. I got the veggie one and it wasn't greasy or bland, but good. Their cannoli was very good as well. read more

Love this little place , so cute and quaint! We live that you can bring your own wine .

A hole in the wall that feels like a warm Italian hug is how I think of this place. We finally made it here after I said I was going to try it out for 2 years. Just really sorry I waited this long. They have most traditional Italian dishes with some Eastern European ones thrown in for good measure. I think the highlight for me was the awesome red sauce. The waiter brought us extra for my husband's lasagna, and we thought we wouldn't use it, but we shamelessly licked the bowl clean. I watched several people working in the back walk by a big pot on the stove, and they all stopped to stir it, apparently part of the job description. The sauce was fresh and delicious. Can't remember when I've had better. The rolls were chewy on the outside and soft in the middle, just like all my carb addict dreams are made of. I had veal Parmesan, which comes with salad, and as a bonus, they give you a plate of some kind of deep fried dough with powdered sugar and honey for dessert, and it's delish. I simply love these kinds of places! read more

This is a gem. Real itailian food home cooked.
