Wines Report

An important part of our philosophy is to be able to offer our customers the experience of drinking great wines at a fair price. At La Dolce Vita, as our menus change, we change our wine stock to complement the complex relationship between food and wines. We try to ensure that each wine-producing region of Italy is well represented so that you can enjoy some of the 350+ varieties of grapes grown in Italy.

Gourmet Evenings Report

We hold Gourmet Evenings at New Year and St. Valentine's Day to celebrate the best of Italian cooking and to show another side of La Dolce Vita - the world where our award-winning Chef, Gennaro Adaggio, is given free rein to design and prepare a selection of unique dishes - such as foie gras ice cream or pigeon breast with pear pure, pear and sambuca salad and liquorice sauce.

We were visiting as part of our Christmas gathering from work. I really enjoyed the food and the service was excellent, both friendly and efficient. We had the 6 course taster menu and were very impressed. I would highly recommend paying La Dolce Vita a visit.

Went here last night for a friends birthday, the service and food were absolutely first class, we had the 6 course taster menu and every course was something special. If your looking for something a bit special then this place certainly provides that. A big thumbs up to all of you involved.

Just wow, food here is awesome. Its not cheap but you don't come here for burger and chips with the kids. We went for an anniversary treat and had the 6 course menu. Each course was amazing such fresh flavours and while being Mediterranean wasn't the cliche stuff you would get at a pizza express or Bella Italia. Each plate was a delightful experience even the tirramisu which I usually would avoid was perfect as they presented a deconstructed version so I could avoid the strong coffee cream and savour the chocolate and cream. Portions look small but I was comfortably full at the end of the meal

The food is absolutely fantastic which is matched by the service provided by all staff. Would highly recommend, I only wish we lived nearer to make it a regular trip. We enjoyed the 6 course taster menu, some pictures of the food are attached!! When we had finished I was jealous of the other diners who were still eating!

A hidden gem. What a find. The 6 course taster menu was better than some we've had at Michelin starred restaurants in London. Superb Italian Fine Dining with excellent service. Highly recommended. Worth visiting Shrewsbury for!...

Excellent service and food from start to finish. Patricia patiently answered my queries in the email prior to the booking as I was trying to get a gluten and dairy free menu offering for my partner. She went above and beyond - she thought of a specific menu and shared with me the choice between 4 and 6 course. The food and ambiance was great, she even came out to say hello which was a nice touch as it was also our first meal out in about 6 months!

This has to rank as one of our top meals out. Absolutely amazing food on the six course taster menu, with what has to be the best pudding ever. The food was awesome, the service was perfect, and we will be back. Just a delight from start to finish.

Different italian food. Attention to detail so evident. Great flavours and 'unusual' herb/food/spice combinations. Genuine Italian family run restaurant who care about making your experience a joy. Their 'chocolate and raspberry' dessert exceptional.
