    I had the eggplant rollatini and green bean salad and both were excellent. I especially liked that the waiter provided a basket of good Italian bread at the start of the meal, something so many restaurants omit these days.

    The fantastic artful presentation of the delicious entrees we had made this a wonderful dining experience. My wife loved her perfectly prepared tuna special and my coconut grouper special that came with an orchid flower garnish was perfect. The super friendly service make you feel at home. BYOB is a plus. Would recommend.

    Since locally we tend to go to the Martinsville Tavern and water and wine as our regular stops. To change it up, we went to DOLCE Bene. what a pleasant surprise. Place could use some local support. The owner and possibly his wife are absolutely delightful and the food was excellent.  Portions were solid and plenty .As importantly the chicken Schiaparelli on the bone was outstanding served nice and warm and delicious. My wife's chicken Milanese was also outstanding. Good place to add to the rotation locally.

    Saturday night and they were really busy. Was reflected in the dinners, one of which came out cold and had to be reheated. They did everything to make up for it tho by giving the table additional items, etc. the restaurant is a class place and the manager knows how to keep people coming back. Food is usually great and service exceptional. A neighborhood gem!

    Food was delicious. Italian speciality,many daily specials. Had the grouper encrusted in coconut with home made goat cheese ravioli. Husband had chicken with fettuccini in a Marsala sauce. Dessert was lack luster. Wish they had home made desserts Service was extremely attentive until the end. Couldn’t find out server for our bill or when we were leaving.
