Dolce Vita
Dolce Vita is a fine dining Italian restaurant, specialising in homemade food, traditional recipes and authentic ingredients. Our Chefs have taken their oldest family recipes and given them a modern twist to create something truly remarkable. We’d all love the odd weekend getaway in Rome or Sardinia, but most of us don’t get the chance. Therefore, we’ve created a little part of Italy in Ashley Cross, Poole.
