Great place to dine and wine. The food is amazing. Shout out to Donika! One of the best bartender's there.

Thursday night they have a ladies night & the best happy hour around! Yummy food and drink specials, But their spicy rigatoni with vodka sauce is to die for! read more

Came here to celebrate my anniversary on a Saturday night. The restaurant was super cozy and had a great ambience. Great for family gatherings. As an app, we got Grandma's Meatballs. It was okay, the meatball itself lacked seasoning but with the burrata cheese and sauce on top it gave it flavor. I got the Penne Vodka Sauce with chicken and my husband got Spicy Rigatoni Alla Vodka with chicken. The Penne Vodka Sauce with chicken was delicious, I ate the whole plate! I did have to keep asking for parmesan cheese as it wasn't just readily available on the table so having to wave my waiter a couple of times was a bit annoying. My husband enjoyed his Spicy Rigatoni Alla Vodka but said it was too spicy. He couldn't finish. Overall, the food was good and service was great. Cute place to visit with family. read more

The servers were attentive and consultative with our food order. There were lots of food on the table including bread. We didn't finish all the food but very pleased with the presentation and menu options. They have an abundant choices so it makes it a little hard to choose. The restaurant is a little dated but there was a constant flow of patrons. read more

Great food, pasta with clams is a hit. All the dishes are great! Impeccable service. Always spotless and a cozy atmosphere. Our go to.

From the moment we walked in, the owner and staff made us feel incredibly welcomed--introducing themselves and even offering a handshake, which instantly made us feel at home. We started with the fried calamari and mussels, both of which were outstanding. For entrées, I had the veal scallopini and my friend ordered the chicken scarpariello--everything was a 10/10. The service was just as impressive as the food. The owner even offered to buy us a drink after dinner, which was such a thoughtful touch, though we unfortunately had to head out to meet family. Amazing food, outstanding service, and a genuinely warm atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Second time here. And never disappointing. Dolce Restaurant in Danbury and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The service was outstanding the staff went above and beyond to make our family's birthday celebration feel truly special. We started with their special bruschetta. They treated us with such warmth and attentiveness, making the evening memorable. As for the food, it was simply I ordered the Chicken Scarpiello, and it was hands down the best chicken I've ever had--perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice. My brother enjoyed the Lobster Ravioli, which he raved about for its rich flavor and generous lobster filling. My parents ordered the Chicken Ravioli with Marsala wine sauce and the New York Steak, both of which were cooked to perfection and delicious. Dolce Restaurant not only provided a fantastic meal but also created a wonderful atmosphere for our family celebration. I highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for great food and exceptional service! We left full and super happy. CT need more places like this. To make you feel like home. By far best Italian restaurant we ever been. read more

The online ordering process was quick and straightforward. Perfect take out solution for staying nearby at a local hotel and didn't want brown-bagged fast food. Went with simple; classic cheese pizza. Just what was needed. Crispy, slightly chewy crust and a good ratio of cheese and sauce. Good amount of garlic and oregano. Also had the fig bruschetta which I didn't get a photo of. That was delicious but almost a dessert with the added fruit drizzle on top which actually stole to show from the fig a little. Only recommendation would be to lose the sauce and let the cheese and fig stand on their own. Will definitely try going and eating in the actual restaurant when back in the area. read more

Dolce is such a little gem in Danbury! One of my favorite restaurants in the area, hands down! Their happy hour is definitely my favorite around, so many amazing food options, from pizza, to risotto, & such great cocktails! The bartenders are so nice and extremely attentive, which makes the experience that much better! The ambiance is such a perfect balance between cozy and classy! Great for a casual night with the girls or even a romantic date spot! The servers are all very friendly & always provide exceptional service. This is definitely a place that will make you feel at home! But by far my favorite thing about this place is that their food is terrific! I've never had a dish I didn't like! Their seafood dishes & steak are phenomenal!!! Their Rigatoni Con & Papardelle pasta with veal ragu are a few staples of mine! And don't get me started on the pizza!! Definitely some of the best pizza in Danbury! Next time you're in the area, don't forget to give this place a visit! It's always a great time & an incredible meal!! read more

Went here for lunch to celebrate my in-laws wedding anniversary. Our party included seven people, including two children. The surface is excellent here, as is the food I highly recommend the rigatoni with Italian sausage. The house Merlot, nice as well. Would recommend. read more

Great apps and very friendly service. I love their salads here but not as much as their pizzas. Old school New York style pizzas that didn't cave in to the New Haven concept read more

Dolce Restaurant & Wine Bar is a solid Italian restaurant in Danbury. Here's the scoop on this place: If you're going for dinner on a Friday/Saturday night, I would highly recommend you make a reservation in advance, which you can do online through their website. I went on a fairly busy Friday night, and was given bread and water almost immediately after sitting down. The bread was very good and came with olive oil for dipping, which had some spices in it and tasted delicious. For a drink I ordered a house margarita on the rocks, which was good. For an appetizer, I got the Fried Mozzarella with marinara sauce. These were amazing!! The order came with four large mozzarella sticks, which were hot and crispy. Some of the best I've ever had! Next came the garden salad, which had a very good balsamic dressing (the entrees all come with salads). For my meal, I chose the Veal and Shrimp Francese, which came with mashed potatoes and carrots. The veal and shrimp were very good, though not the best I've ever had. The mashed potatoes were great. For dessert I got the homemade Chocolate Lava Cake, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This was so good, but super chocolate-y. Overall the service was excellent, with the waitstaff refilling water glasses and clearing the table without having to ask. The food came out quickly for how busy it was. The atmosphere was nice. I would recommend! read more

The good news is this bus a local place for me. As soon as we entered the disco music got me, the rest of the dinner was equal in taste. We were greeted by " Rocco", have you ever been served by an old time professional waiter? We were it added greatly to our meal experience. We order the halibut with vegetables, the mushrooms raviolis, fried calamari and cesar salad, all fantastic. The decoration of the restaurant is nice, you feel you are in a contemporary upscale restaurant. I recommend this restaurant very highly. I am missing Rocco already and the bread! read more

Enjoyed an early Saturday afternoon lunch with my family that included everything from several appetizers to pizza, hangar steak, chicken specials and more. Cannoli dessert and cappuccinos were also devoured. This was only my second time trying this place, first time I sat outside many years ago and this time we sat inside. Extremely warm upon arrival and with a quick ask, the temp was adjusted. I know its random but thought the bathroom was appealing. I don't get an upscale vibe as it promotes on their website. My hangar steak was delicious and very tender, but just warm, it was missing that I was just cooked heat. I've had take out a couple times and that has been good, not great. There is just so much available in Danbury, that I might venture out before coming back to Dolce. read more

Had my Dad's 75th Birthday Dinner at Dolce on Mill Plain Rd in Danbury. They were amazing from the hostess that sat us and helped us with our balloons, our waiter Rocco, the food runners, and nice girl who refilled our waters. We had a variety of food - steaks, ravioli, chicken, scallops, shrimp scampi. My Dad and sister had cocktails, my fiancé and brother in law had beers. The food was presented well and tasted delicious. The check was even affordable. Loved Dolce! read more

Dolce Restaurant & Wine Bar - Shrimp Scampi - Italian Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Bartender can't make a drink. I got a mule and literally the whole cup was filled with vodka (which I'm sure an alcoholic would love but as a 1 drink girl horrible) Tuna tartare very good wish there was more chips on the bottom cause there was a lot of fish but whatever not a biggie Then we got this fig bruschetta and it was horrible basically those Italian little toast with fig jam smothered on it and tons of goat cheese just not good would have been better with prosciutto maybe. Honestly when we ordered we expected something different like actual figs. Wasn't worth it Mushroom raviolis were ok would have been better if the mushrooms weren't sliced but pureed And then had an amazing chicken Christine special that was out of this world that they should put on the menu. Has a nice brown sauce prosuitto, peas and mozzarella. Was very tasty. We got the pistachio tiramisu and just tasted like a chocolate drizzle all over no pistachio taste anywhere Ambiance was nice bar area has a nice seating area. Waiter was very nice and attentive. Owner was friendly as well. Which was very nice. read more

Food: 3/5 I ordered the tuna tartare as my appetizer and shrimp and scallops as my entree. Neither of my meals were satisfactory. I enjoyed the different spin on the tuna tartare. My family had ordered different items on the menu and let's just say no one took the food home. Service: 2/5 prior to leaving the house I called to ask what time the kitchen closes. I was given a quick 9:30p and quicker click to end the call before I could ask anything else. When we reached well before the kitchen closing time the waiter hesitantly found a table for us. The other waiter was pleasant and did give great service. read more

Never in my life have I had a restaurant tell us that it's busy and we need to leave the table immediately after finishing. Mind you we had reservations and our table spent over $300.00 and we were planning on going to the bar after dinner to spend even more money. Dolce Restaurant & Wine Bar we will NEVER be back. read more

Not to minimize the quality of this restaurant, it's a classic, traditional Italian place, with the full menu of pasta, fish, and meat entrees. Service is efficient and friendly. The wine list is American focused and fairly priced. We splurged on the calorie count and ordered the tortufo dessert, wonderful! Overall, a great find. read more

We had reservations. We were eating dinner as a group, spent a lot of money. We got apps, entrées and drinks. Our plan was to go to the bar after we were done eating. As soon as we finished we were met with a lady requesting that we leave because they needed our table. That is crazy. If we knew that was going to happen we would have went with a better place with better service like black angus. We will never be back. read more

ROCCO with a server it was really good. We enjoyed the evening food was really good and of course had some leftovers to take home because we had apps too and then a meal so that's what happens when you have apps and a meal. Try it out and enjoy. read more

Delicious and service is great.Hopefully the new owners will keep the formula, it works.

I first discovered Dolce when I was staying in Danbury for 2 weeks on a business trip a few years ago. I had the opportunity to go back and brought a colleague. It was busy on Thursday night with a party in the front sun room and ladies night in the bar. We were in the dining room. The beef carpaccio and lobster ravioli was delicious. My colleague had the penne vodka with shrimp and the portions was huge. I always have to save room for their tartufo dessert. Service was friendly. read more

I took my son and family to celebrate his college graduation and the food was absolutely fantastic!! We went back again for one of my family members birthdays. The food was good, but you certainly did not get what you paid for and we left hungry and they never asked us if we wanted to order appetizers and did not ask us what we would like to drink; only dinner. Very weird read more

What a great restaurant..... We thoroughly enjoyed a late Sunday lunch here. Everything from the atmosphere, to the wait staff, and most especially the drinks and food were wonderful! We sat at the bar tables which were extremely comfortable and roomy. They have set up tables and even bar top ones with Covid guidelines in mind. There is indoor, outdoor, and bar seating.... so many options! We started with martinis which were so balanced and smooth, went down too easy. My espresso martini was so good, I broke my one drink rule and got a second one! Other drinks also looked interested and cocktail list was extensive. They provide fresh bread with olive oil and white bean spread to start which was great. We had appetizers of carpaccio and bruschetta- both fresh and fairly large portions. The carpaccio appetizer with the arugula, Parmesan, and light mustard dressing was melt in your mouth good. The bruschetta has the creamiest chopped fresh mozzarella. For main entrees- we opted for Chicken Parmesan and a Scallop and Shrimp lemon Risotto dish. Both were too large to finish so we took the rest to go as it was too good not to. The scallops were seared perfectly and soft in the center. The shrimp, veggies, and risotto was equally done well. My Husband really enjoyed his chicken parmigiana. Our waiter was attentive and allowed us time to relax and dine at our leisure. Overall such a great experience, we will be back (there are kid food options, yeah) and we even took their takeout menu as another option. Awesome lunch, thank you! read more

Dropped in with the family for the first time for lunch and Rocco took great care of us, very friendly and attentive. I got the rack of lamb special and it was delicious, cooked to a perfect medium.

I love the music and it's nice low volume. Mozzarella sticks were very fresh and good. I had the seafood paella and it was good. I didn't get to try the regular things, such as chicken Parm or the Ravioli's I don't know how the Tomato sauce is. The place was crowded and everyone appeared to enjoying their meals. Come try it. The head Waiter Rocco was very helpful and kind. read more

I came here tonight with my mom, mother in law and a friend after a long day of shopping. We sort of decided last minute to come and didn't have a reservation, hoping 5pm would be early enough to get a table. We got the last table so it seemed and the restaurant filled FAST. The hostess, who greeted us was very kind, and the whole restaurant was decorated beautifully for the holidays. What a wonderful atmosphere, warm, inviting, cozy, and beautiful lights everywhere. Our server was super nice. We did not feel rushed at all even though the restaurant was super busy, and we all really enjoyed our food and drinks/wine! We will definitely be coming back! read more
