    It was pretty busy when we came, so service was a bit slow but it was understandable! The food was absolutely amazing.

    Meatball appetizer and beet and goat cheese salad. Both good although the meatballs were not hot.

    We've been to West Chester many times but have never been to dolce Zola. While doing a Yelp search, it came up as a BYOB, but upon further inspection, I noticed cocktails and wine on their menu. When I called to inquire, I was told that you can bring wine and beer and that there is a $6.50 corkage fee for wine. All was well when we arrived and were promptly seated (we had reservations). However, what I didn't like was being seated in the basement next to what appeared to be a dirty air vent. The ambiance downstairs was lacking and didn't seem to have vibrant energy that was present upstairs. The upstairs seemed newer and more modern too. It also took some time for a server to approach us and explain the menu (QR code). While I didn't mind that during the pandemic, it seems unnecessary now and appeared identical to their online menu. After finally ordering, our appetizers did take some time to appear. However, the meatballs and beet/goat salad were quite good. Unfortunately, the meatballs may have been sitting there for some time waiting to be picked up as they were barely warm. I loved the spiral pasta (trottole) in my pescatore and was happy the chef didn't shy away from using garlic. My husband liked his chicken piccata too but didn't rave about it. Overall, good food but found the atmosphere lacking in the basement.

    I was on a date with my partner and this place was delicious. The caprese salad was super hearty and the pasta is homemade and was super fresh. We were seated on these very tall chairs right near the entrance to the kitchen so there was a lot of traffic where we were sitting, but that was okay since the food and service was overall great

    Fantastic. Truly in-house, scratch pasta. Great Italian food should be simple - at dolce Zola, every dish is beautifully crafted without being too "upidty". The chicken meatballs were so incredibly moist while being light and fluffy (not labeled on the menu, the three smaller meatballs are each topped with a generous dollop of ricotta). For entrees, the Carbonara was so saucy and rich (in a non-overbearing kind of way), the pasta perfectly al dente, and the dish *chefs kiss*. The salmone affumicato was flavorful with so many layers to the dish as well. We always love coming here because we know the quality is top notch. Can't wait to come back soon!

    Very nice restaurant. Almost a 5-Star. Let me explain.... Food was very good. Authentic Italian fare. Service was excellent. Ambience was nice. Appetizers a bit overpriced for what you get. Although they were very tasty, quantity was lacking. We ordered both meatball appetizers, 1 chicken and 1 beef. Three very small meatballs. Either add a fourth meatball to each order or make them larger. Eggplant appetizer was very very good but again, not enough for the group to all try. The dinner entrées were very good. My family and I all agreed that they were generously portioned. We spent $40 on appetizers and $80 on entrees....we felt that it would've been better just to order an extra entrée for everyone to split as an app. We may do this in the future That being said, we will be back for sure. One of the best Pomodoro/marinara sauces around! Thank you very much

Always making us feel right at home. Cafe Fiorello's lunch buffet is outstanding! An authentic Sicilian spread with incredible variety and flavor from start to finish. The hot bar featured clam chowder and pasta fagioli, a pasta dish in rich vodka sauce, tender chicken piccata, and a standout seafood medley of baby shrimp, calamari steamed in a garlic white wine sauce with clams and mussels. The cold bar was just as impressive: fresh mozzarella over ripe tomatoes, broccoli rabe, grilled eggplant, Kalamata olives, pickled baby mushrooms, sliced portobello with balsamic glaze, and classic Italian deli favorites like prosciutto, salami, and cubed Parmesan. Their focaccia pizza is always our favorite. And the wood fired pepperoni pizza was cheesy and delicious. Dessert included mini cannolis topped with powdered sugar that I bet you can't eat just one, a light sugary donut, plus sugared fresh strawberries & cantaloupe. Everything was filling, beautifully prepared, and full of authentic Sicilian flavor. Big thanks to Andy for treating my son and me after a long Morning , truly the best!

I am including the description from your page on Uber Eats so you see. It was delivered without linguine there wasn't even the side salad that used to come with it or even a slice of bread. I called twice and whoever the young woman is answering the phone is rude. And no I was not nice to her. I will admit that because I do not respond to rude her response was "what do you want me to do about it" and that's paraphrasing, but that was the message . We don't deliver she says. I know you don't deliver. The problem wasn't the delivery. The problem was the order. And no, I'm not driving more than half an hour to come pick up a replacement order when I wanted to treat myself to delivery from Fiorello's. And her whole attitude of what do I expect her to do about? It is simply not acceptable. That's what I can't get past. She could've actually just apologized. Does she want me to explain a restaurant and what front of house does when there's a problem? We've been customers for years. And every once in a while we order via Uber Eats. And I don't understand how your own kitchen doesn't know that this comes with linguine or any kind of pasta that's plain that you put the calamari over? But above all else, I don't do rude on the phone. And again she would not have gotten an edge in my voice if she had just been polite to me instead of me getting the whole attitude if she doesn't really want to be there on a Sunday night and talk to anybody on the phone or help people. I am attaching photos, so you see. When employees have attitudes like that it makes it less likely that people actually want to come into your restaurant.

Limoncello has been a popular choice since I can remember but I hadn't gone since I was in middle school. We were very satisfied with our meals and experience! The atmosphere is super fun and outgoing and service is great. We got water pitcher for the table which I loved. I'm always needing tons of water when I am eating so it's nice to have refills on the ready ! The free bruschetta was a pleasant surprise and the tomato's were fresh and delicious. I don't really like tomato's so when I like them you know they're dang good. We ordered the spicy rigatoni with a cutlet per Jenna's recommendation. I was absolutely blown away at HOW GOOD THE CUTLETS were. I'm a little picky about meat but these cutlets were the best I've ever had. They tasted incredible and were cooked perfectly. And they had a nice breaded crunch. Literally the best cutlets I've ever had The pasta itself was very good too. Big fat homemade rigatonis. Sauce was perfectly creamy and flavorful. But the added spice was a bit much for me. I was fine but I think I would've preferred it plain. My husband felt the opposite and highly the spice was mild so I don't know. We like spicy food we can handle relatively good spicy food but who knows ! It was still really good Our friend liked his branzino a lot. It's not something I would personally ever order but he seemed to really enjoy it he said! All in all we had a great time and want to come back asap (especially for those cutlets haha) thank you Jenna!!

It was absolutely swimming in oil, but otherwise no complaints. Ultimately everything was hot and so delicious. For dessert hubs got the Torta Di Marscapone Al Limondcello and I got the Tartufo Al Cappuccino. Both very yummy! The pacing of the meal was enjoyable -- not rushed, but we didn't have to wait too long for any course. Prices were surprisingly reasonable and portions were perfect.
