Came here on a Friday night around 8 and we were told that it would be an hour wait. However, it turned out to be only 10 minutes! The setting is dim and swanky, with low coffee tables and nice stuffed chairs and couches. The service is also very friendly and helpful. We went for the mocha (mousse), chocolate melt cake, and an espresso martini to share. The mousse was light and fluffy, and it hid crispy chocolate and almond-toffee inside, which was a splendid combination. The chocolate melt cake had a big scoop of cookies and cream ice cream on top, and the cake itself was rich and moist. Both desserts were so good, it was hard to pin down a favorite. The espresso martini had a strong espresso flavor (which I liked, but some people would not). While we didnt go for any special occasion, this place would be a good location for birthdays or anniversaries or celebrations.

Great service. Good cocktails. I have never been to the Chop House restaurant upstairs, but Ive been to La Dolce Vita a few times. This is a great place if youre looking for a night out with a small group of friends. The mixed drinks are good and the atmosphere is relaxing. My friend claims that their dirty martinis are pretty good. Be warned that there will be people smoking cigars. Perhaps it could be you! The service is also very good. The waiters and waitresses are very attentive. There was one time that they even gave me a free drink simply because they didnt have something that I wanted at the bar. I dont know many places that are that appreciative of their customers.

Ive never had a drink here, but the desserts.... theyre so good. Too good. I would rather go to La Dolce Vita and than Disney World (the cost is far more reasonable than Disney as well, and there tends to be less crying children. In fact the only crying is from tears of joy). La Dolce Vita might have changed my life, and Im not afraid to admit it. Im going there for my birthday in a few weeks and I think about it every day. Its a crime to be in Ann Arbor and not experience their desserts at least once.

The atmosphere is great, it has a nice ambience and great for small groups or dates. The dessert is fantastic, Ive never tasted creme brûlée as good as that. The other cakes, tiramisu, chocolate melt cake and german chocolate cake were also so delicious. My friends and I dont drink alcohol so they were very accommodating in preparing us desserts without alcohol and even informing us beforehand about desserts that do contain them. Love this place!

Fantastic desserts and a very cool cigar lounge. La Dolce Vita is a great place to end a night on the town or even just go for dessert or a cigar. The well ventilated cigar smoking area is separated by a glass wall and door, so no worries if you dont want your dessert ruined by cigar smoke. Fantastic old world ambiance coupled with decadent desserts and choice cigars make La Dolce Vita one of the best places to end your night out.

Atmosphere is cool, creme brulee is great, ....but the cigars are over priced ( obvious ), so bring your own and the Negroni is very sweet and catered to the pseudo-intellectuals and pretentious people which make up the majority of people that gather here. So, all in all, its a cool place to have a cigar, but Im a firm-believer that a Negroni is a make-or-break drink for a bar/lounge. Just my two cents...

Вечером без предварительной брони очень тяжело найти место. Отличные итальянские десерты, вполне можно брать один на 2 человека, размер позволяет.

Great desserts, great drinks. Open later for the night owls. The staff is very attentive and kind. There is also a great cigar lounge in the basement. The wife always gets the Spanish coffee. Try the bananas foster, its unbelievable. There are always weekly rotating different cookie flavors that are unbelievable.

Great cigar selection and knowledgeable wait staff. They also have a variety of dessert options. I would recommend this for any sort of celebratory outing with a small group.

The atmosphere is wonderful and the service is great. We ordered dessert only and it was definitely worth it! Their gelato is heavenly.

Vanilla flavored creme brulee was by far the best dessert on the menu!!

My dessert was a little on the sweet side, but I loved it nonetheless.
