    "Italian Beef special"
    Ramone P.

    I've been coming to this restaurant for a couple of years now. Because I work close by the neighborhood. My 2 favorites I usually get most of the time, are the pepperoni pizza special, and the Italian Beef special. I highly recommend others to try my 2 favorites when you're in the area . They have a nice size menu to choose from, nice customer service, a bar with beer on Tap, tv's at the bar and eating area, and extra rooms for parties and other gatherings, along with a date night or game day. I'm looking forward to come back and try other items, and I recommend others to check them out as well.

    It's been a minute since we've had Father's Day Ricky's, but oh yum. Honestly the only pizza I could eat an entire pie on my own. Thin, but not crunchy dough sauce isn't sweet, but very savory and the cheese and topping ratios are on point. We dined inside on this visit and I honestly was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of each slice, but here's a slice of pepperoni my kiddo devoured. The ambiance is very inviting. There's a bar area, and what appears to be a banquet room in the far corner. Ordering by the slice made life easy too.

    Nice spot in the Chicago area. I was in route to a customer meeting while working in Chicago. I needed a place to jump on a Teams meeting and grab a quick lunch. This place was a good spot for both. Plenty of room and tables for work/virtual meetings, but be sure to bring you AirPods because there will be background noise. Food was also good. I really liked the pizza and chicken sandwich. Bar area looked nice, it as a working lunch so I didn't experience the bar, but looks like a good place for beers and watching sports. I recommend stopping in for lunch, dinner, and or drinks if you are in the area.

    First the server was awesome. She kept the drinks and food and helped everyone with their needs. The food was great too. Especially the fried chicken.. everyone said this is so good. The venue room was very clean and very elegant. Met our needs 100% for my wife's 65th Birthday and retirement.

    Raw chicken, zoom in on everything.

    If you want raw chicken this is the place for you. This is a thin piece of chicken so there is no excuse on this. Manager is definitely a problem solver but had no empathy. He showed no frustration on this and was more worried about my attitude. Won't be eating here anymore, if it's not the long waits in the drive through it's missing items. The food is already just decent but definitely wouldn't recommend.

    Awesome crust

    Went for the first time recently. Food and service was great. We dined in and the staff was very friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in. The Cuban sandwich is delicious and both the thin crust and stuffed pizzas are great. The manager even came out to make sure everything was good.

The restaurant on the ground floor is small with a bar area, but they also have an outdoor patio and a banquet room on the second floor for up to 200 people. Our server was Jose and he was friendly, attentive and provided good service. We started with a bottle of Chianti to share. We skipped the appetizer because we knew we wanted dessert instead. Entrées come with a salad and is served family style. The salad is mixed greens with olives, red onions and tomatoes dressed with an Italian vinaigrette. A basket of warm bread was brought to the table along with olive oil and parmesan cheese, which was a nice touch. However, the salad was overly dressed and the vinegar was on the heavy side where it catches in your throat because it's too much. I did like that a salad was included with the meal. My husband ordered the bistecca di manzo vesuvio and I had gnocchi. The food was just okay, but they do serve large portions. The steak vesuvio was described as a strip steak, but my husband did not receive a strip steak. The steak he was served was thick and round and a strip steak is usually long and thinner. Also, Vesuvio sauce is very garlicky with lots of oregano. Their sauce lacked flavor. The steak, however, was cooked perfectly to a medium rare. My gnocchi had a rich marinara sauce that was tasty, but the gnocchi were not light pillows of air. They were on the heavier chewy side, unfortunately. Disappointing. I had a side of meatballs to go along with my pasta, and the meatballs were soft. The best part of the meal was the dessert, though. The tiramisu was light and creamy and had great flavor with espresso and cinnamon, a classic Italian dessert. There were positives dining at La Dolce Vita, but it lacked the wow factor and one too many dislikes so this is a one-and-done dining experience for me.

We will certainly come back here again if we're in the area and in the mood for Italian food. We recommend La Dolce Vita Per Tutti.
