    We reserved Dolce Bene for this years Company Holiday Party. Our guest list grew to almost 70 people and we wanted to find a location which can accommodate a group of this size while providing a more intimate private setting. We discussed our desire with Bene and he was willing to open the restaurant on a Monday (typically closed) and allow us to use the main dining area. We were also able to offer limited dining options (fish, meat or vegetarian with appetizers), allowing us to go into the event with a budget. What a wonderful experience. Dolce Bene provided a full staff to provide the highest level of service, we used the bar area for drinks and later deserts, and the food was amazing as usual. Wanted to say thanks to the entire team at Dolce Bene for a great night by all!

    Food and service is outstanding. We always have an excellent dining experience at Dolce Bene - besides their regular menu, they always have exciting daily specials, and have gluten free for my wife. Dolce has a relaxing atmosphere, white tablecloths, and nice background music - and is BYOB.

    Consistently excellent entrees every time we dine here. Great food served on white table cloths with friendly service gives Dolce Bene an excellent fine dining, relaxing atmosphere. We each had a different veal entree from the menu and both were excellent. Would highly recommend.
