I visited here on the 8th December and had a lovely lunch with excellent service. I also forgot my gloves and the owners posted them to me ( wouldn’t accept payment) which was so kind. Tracey Owen.

Exquisite! Exceptional!You will leave with your belly six courses heavier (and your purse sixty-five quid lighter) - but you will be content with both counts. Every course is well thought out and pulled together into a blend that seems more set for an artist's palette than the plate - because surely it can't taste as good as it looks? But tasty it is, and by the end of the evening, you will agree that six was just about the magic number of courses (unless you fancy adding the cheese - we did - in which case seven is heaven...)It's not cheap, but you certainly don't feel swindled, as every ingredient is unequivocally fresh. We suggest that LDV must have a hidden garden behind the restaurant that is fully stocked with ripe fennel, pumpkins, porcini mushrooms, microherbs, macroherbs, and megaherbs (the final two may be made up). Service is friendly, familial, and altogether Italian.Delicious food with lovely hosting, and the vegetarian option is a beast of its own that is worth coming back for - there's no 'just take away the meat' here - it is clearly a carefully considered menu, and many of the veggie dishes compete with (or beat!) the meaty versions. Prices on the wine list are also surprisingly reasonable.Recommended! And recommended again!

We had a wonderful evening at La Dolce Vita, the food was excellent. Each course was varied and a great combination of flavours. The restaurant is cosy and has a good atmosphere. The host and all the staff were pleasant, helpful and attentive. We hope to visit there again soon.

Fantastic, amazing service. Beautiful presentation of all elements of the food. Each dish explain, lovely family run business. It was a wonderful place to go.

Amazing 6 course tasting menu, with great service. One of the best meal experiences I've had.

We booked La Dolce Vita for our anniversary dinner and opted the six course taster menu...and it was perfect in every way!This is quite a small, family run, restaurant with only a few tables and, as a result, the service is very personal. Chef presents some of the courses at the table and everything is explained in great detail which adds to the experience.The food is sensational, seasonal and exquisitely prepared so that you can taste every ingredient on the plate.Special mentions have to go to the heritage tomato salad starter that is served with baby basil leaves, a tomato water and frozen mozzarella (more an ice cream actually but literally "summer on a plate") and the strawberries with a cracked black pepper merengue and basil ice cream dessert. However, to choose these above the other 4 courses feels desperately unfair as every dish was insanely delicious.The wine options are fabulous and clearly chosen with great care and the whole setting feels modern and comfortable but very stylishly Italian.We cannot recommend La Dolce Vita enough and will certainly be going back. Many thanks to all of the staff who made our visit so special.

We dinned here 9/9/23 this place is mind blowing I have eaten all over the world and believe me the food here was fantastic from the moment we walked in to the time we left we both loved this

Exceptional food.I have eaten taster menus in a lot of places and as a vegetarian I seem to get an array of different takes on the same things... but not here.Each dish was well thought out, extremely tasty and very well executed.I loved the atmosphere. It is small and bejou and intimate.Over all I couldn't fault the food or the wine flight.Vegetarian options: Amazingly well thought out complex flavours and not run of the mill at all!
Everything was perfect. From a warm almost familial welcome through the courses and to the dissert. The Fish was perfectly seasoned, special mention to the Trompe l’Oeil Dulci at the end. Don’t be scared to book in advance, it’s definitely worth it. Alla prossima dal Parigi.

A really lovely evening! Fantastically cooked and presented seasonal dishes. Perfect portion sizes for a 6 course tasting menu. Great service from the restaurant team. Excellent value for a meal of this very high standard.

We were on holiday near to Shrewsbury, and after seeing this restaurant’s reviews, booked for our anniversary. We had the 4 course tasting menu, which is a style of dining we hadn’t tried before. We shouldn’t have worried as we were in safe hands. The food was delicious, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The monkfish being both our favourite dish. When we are next anywhere near we will revisit.
