    Brazilian Lobster Tail

    Had Mothers Day reservations, promptly seated.Cramped (could touch the table next to us) & loud! No ambiance at all! Slow service & jacked prices(expected) Lobster tail tough & chewy. Raw oyster appy ok( small oysters). Penne alla vodka with chicken was child size portion.. Carafe of water a plus. Will not return.

    Love this place! Note it is now very popular and the environment is vibrant. The food never disappoints and their home made desserts are very very good. I had the flan which I loved. The owner is busy but always says hello. Love this restaurant wish I could go more!

    Looking for a place that has class as well as simplicity with great food?! Look no further! This place offers all of that! We were able to be accommodated immediately, we were given a choice and we went to sit outside because the weather was great. Ambiance is fun and classy at the same time. There was also a singer that entertains inside which makes the place more vibe-yyy. Food was chef's kiss, server was amazing and service was impeccable! Was looking for a place to celebrate my birthday and saw that Dolce Vita has one of the places recommended according to our search. This place is a place in a hole which everyone needs to try! On top of everything, it was also a pleasure to meet the chef he even came out and check on us when our food came which is not common everywhere. Their servings are decent sizes, well actually bigger size than other places around the area. We will definitely be back!

    2nd time here. This time for a celebratory dinner - apps, entrees and desserts plus alcohol. First the good- service was excellent and the waiter was very attentive. The arugula and beet salads were very good, as was the popcorn shrimp. Now for the bad- should I start with 3 of 6 people were in varying stages of ill (stomach) after dining, 2 had chicken and one had clams. The portions were tiny at best, none of the entrees were exceptional, average at best. The chicken Francaise was almost laughable at the portion size. 1 small piece of chicken and an ice cream scoop of dry mashed potatoes with 2 carrots and 3 broccoli rabe stalks. Chicken Saltimboca was similarly sized and chicken parm was over pasta, all with 1 small piece of chicken. The short rib was a bit tough but larger portion of beef but same sized sides. We shared a few crème brûlées and honestly not my favorite flavor (lemon?) ... now the price...$600 for 6 people including tip. I have zero issue paying those prices when the food is excellent and portions are decent. The only reason a few had leftovers was because we saved room for dessert. Each person had an entree, however apps and desserts were shared. There are plenty of restaurant choices out there and I'd recommend looking for a choice that offers the best balance of taste and value.

    Back again for a wonderful birthday dinner for my friend and a few others, including a service dog. We were given a nice table for six even though we were a party of four, plus doggo. Every appetizer was great as were the entrees. Service was friendly and attentive. Definitely will be back again soon.

    Came here with my husband and parents on a Tuesday evening. We had the borek and the clams oreganata for appetizers I ordered the wild mushroom ravioli, my mom had the shrimp scampi, my husband the scallops and shrimp pasta and my father ordered the half rack of lamb. Everything was delicious. The wild mushroom ravioli with braised beef was great. I do wish there was a bit more braised beef but overall it was very flavorful. The service was great ! We will be back !

    Absolutely love this place , it was our 40th wedding anniversary on Valentine's Day but they were booked so we celebrated on the day before probably a good choice as not to feel rushed , the owner and our waitress Naomi were very pleasant as well as the rest of the wait staff , the food was nicely plated and did not disappoint, starters chard octopus and Barata salad were delicious, main course was the Chilean base and rack of lamb were amazing ! Our only disappointment was that we reserved on yelp and recieved confirmation, only to be told by the host that the only tables available were by the entrance which felt a bit cramped, she did t seem to find my reservation and we felt as if she took us as walk ins and gave us no option but the seating right behind her . We felt bad for the waiters who had to excuse themselves when trying to serve the other tables that said we would definitely try them again , recommended this place for the food !!

    This restaurant is the best in Rockland. As someone who mostly dines in NYC, I struggle to find good food here in rockland but here at Dolce Vita, they impress me every single time. The wine is delicious, the pasta, the meat, the seafood, it's all always cooked to perfection. Aside from this, the owner is welcoming and appreciates you and your business and now's you personally are each time you come in. I really can't emphasize how great it is. Even on a busy weekend. Highly recommend

    Delicious food especially branzino. Outstanding service from moment I called and need to move my reservation time due arriving late, to the service at the restaurant when need to change table. Very friendly atmosphere weather siting at the bar or at the table. Definitely go back again try /taste different food

    The food was amazing & the service was pretty quick. We didn't wait too long to be seated, and our food was served within a reasonable amount of time. The ambience is amazing as the sea arrangement looks very nice and there are tables looking out to the street. The view is very nice as well.

    See all

    I genuinely cannot say enough about Hudson House. This beautiful restaurant effortlessly blends…read moresophistication with comfort, elegant without feeling pretentious, and lively without being overwhelming. Matt and Marris make you feel like part of their family the moment you walk in, and it is ABSOLUTELY genuine! Their passion is clear. The menu is thoughtfully curated, highlighting both creativity and quality ingredients. Every time I eat there, I find myself smiling; the concerns of the day or week float away. The care and detail in everything presented to the diner are so thoughtful. The drinks deserve just as much praise and are beautifully crafted. If you're lucky enough to visit on a night when Izzy is behind the bar, consider yourself fortunate. He's not only a "DJ" of cocktails, but warm, friendly, and fun to be around. Honestly, sitting at the bar is just as good as, if not better than, a seat in the dining room. We travel from Manhattan just to come here, and Hudson House never disappoints. It's the kind of place you find yourself returning to again and again, and recommending to everyone you know.

    Pretty place, upscale food. There were 4 of us. I hate to…read morebitch, business is hard enough. If I'm in antacid, please don't give me a Manhattan pour. We all know how much Ketile One is pour the extra ounce. And when you bring the wine caraf, fill it to 5he top. As the apps came, I noticed there was no bread, so I asked for some. Someone in our party, told me there was a 4 charge for bread. I was getting a pasta dish, so I wanted it anyway. Needless to say bread never came, but it was on the bill. They removed the charge. I guess I'm just getting cheap in my old age. For 375 can't I get a decent pour and a piece of bread
