DOLCE VITA

excellent Italian restaurant right next to sprouts on the  nw corner of broadway and pantano. It was not crowded and therefore, not noisy.  Lots of tables well spread out and no booths.

Our service was wonderful. Just enough attention.

The olive oil dip for the bread was very good but the bread itself was similar to a dollar loaf of french bread at Safeway; very doughy with hardly any crust.

 Each entree came with soup or salad. We had a salad; very fresh. I had feta garlic dressing.  Also a plate of bowtie pasta with peas in a very light vinaigrette as  an appetizer for the table. This didn't have much flavor which did NOT stop me from eating it.

Bill had chicken piccata which came with his choice of pasta and sauce. He picked angel hair with a garlic butter. He was very very happy and said the chicken had the best flavor and was so tender he didn't even need a knife. I had cheese ravioli with meat sauce which was a 10.

Both of us have leftovers for lunch today. Their desserts looked wonderful but i had made a chocolate magic flan cake so we passed on the sweets.

Oh and the bathroom was painted  the most striking combination of a lilac and mauve. Beautiful.

We will be back.
