Elegant Italian with pastas, seafood, chops & a fine wine list
"Find a romantic spot under the lemon trees at Dolce Riviera in the Harwood District, sitting on the covered patio under the arches of lemon trees that strive to capture the vibe of Italy. The small open bar near the entry is a great spot to post up and order an Aperol spritz. On the menu is an Italian olive oil flight, fritto misto, pane con le cozze (mussels with focaccia), lobster tail scampi, and more. The wine list is impressive, with several bottles not on many other menus in town. Valet is available." - Rachel Pinn
"This Harwood District spot has a relaxed outdoor patio that could be a fun spot for a rowdy Italian-style wedding. Plus, it adjoins a more causal, seated patio with an open-air bar for cocktail hour. Order a table full of Aperol spritzes and let’s celebrate." - Courtney E. Smith
"For a night of dining that veers more towards coastal Italian, head to this Harwood restaurant (and if the weather is nice, sitting on the patio and under the stars is a must). It offers an olive oil flight that is a great primer on methodology and understanding origins, a stunning rollatini melanzana (crispy eggplant in tomato sauce), and the gnocchi al tertufi with black truffle cream and black truffle butter." - Courtney E.
