    This was my first time dining at Dolce Ristorante. My partner and I had tickets for a show at The Great Aunt Stella Center and wanted something close. The espresso martini was thick, creamy, and perfect. Go ahead and order the prosciutto and burrata with apricot jam. Between the gnocchi and the boscaiola, our server recommended the boscaiola and we agree he chose right. Love the cozy ambiance -- you walk in and already feel like part of the family. 10/10 Italian spots in CLT!
