Welcome to La Dolce Vita Bistro - “The Sweet Life,” a restaurant and bistro created to recapture the bell-époque charm of “The Italian Drug,” opened here by Dr. Anthony Caruso in 1914. In the tradition of the great European bistros, La Dolce Vita is devoted to providing a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for everything from eight course dinners to coffee and Calvino. We strive to prepare the perfect meal, or the perfect cappuccino, and let you enjoy it at your leisure. Our pasta is cooked fresh to order, our sauces and dressing are painstakingly prepared using only the finest ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, the freshest vegetables, imported whole tomatoes, fresh basil and Italian parsley... and your table is reserved for the evening.

My fiancé and I went for our anniversary. Everything was incredible. We both are in the industry and have dined at most of the restaurants in Cleveland. We both agreed that this was the best meal we’ve had in years. Can’t wait to go back!

We were in Cleveland to see the symphony and made last minute reservations at Valerio's in Little Italy which is super close to Severance Hall. We were seated promptly and Michael, our server, was a delight. He took excellent care of us, rattled off the specials, and made great recommendations. We ordered the swordfish and the lamb shank and both were amazing. The swordfish was perfectly grilled and delicious. The lamb shank was very tender, falling off the bone, with gravy that was to die for. Both were reasonably priced and less than what we expected to pay. We will definitely go back.
