It was my second visit to Dolce Stil Novo. My first was 3 years ago and that time had been during a…read morecolder season so the menu and experience was completely different. This evening we had dinner outdoors on the terrace, while the last time was indoors. Outside was so beautiful with the views of the garden and the lovely palace brick. The service was really impeccable. I don't eat fish (a preference, not an allergy), and the waitress made sure to even bring a 2nd option of butter for me, as the standard had anchovies in it. I found it particularly thoughtful as bread is not the main focus of a meal for me at least, and they had already oil as another option. It really felt like no detail was too small.
Each dish that was brought to the table was perfect. We had the 5 course menu, with the wine tasting, I found the wine to even be unique and pair well with each dish brought.
There hadn't been forecast for rain, but just before dessert, there had been some drops of rain. We hoped it was just a few sprinkles, but it really turned into a downpour. The staff was really prepared for the worst. They rushed us to a table inside, and seemed very coordinated. The inside ambiance is just as beautiful, with a lovely marble floor.
We finished our meal indoors and were given an umbrella for our walk back to our car. Again, another nice service detail.
I highly recommend this restaurant. The value is really there and it's a magical evening.
