Dolce Ristorante

I actually just left the restaurant. Me and three of my friends all went to the restaurant for the first time. It was tiny and very cramped. I actually got elbowed in the head twice by servers. It was also extremely loud! I ordered a ceasar salad. I get the bill and its 17.95 for a salad and water!!! The menu specifically says 6.95. But somehow I'm getting charged 10 dollars extra! So I bring it up and ask why I'm getting charged so much. Apparently I got served a "DINNER" salad even though I ordered a regular salad. I told the server this as well as an older lady, short, redish curly hair, accent, very rude that I was over charged. The server failed to ask and tell me that I was getting a dinner portion even though the menu says NOWHERE that that it what you will get no matter what. The older lady told me that its dinner time so that is what I get. I went on to tell her that that is not what I ordered and that the menu says ceasar salad 6.95. She began talking in circles saying everything over and over again. She blamed everything on the server who was nice just failed to tell me. She also told me that it was my fault because I ate the salad. Yes, really. She told me it was my fault. She said that I did not complain so it's my problem. She also said verbatum "You know what, your right mammi, it is my fault because this is not McDonald's and that is where you should be eating." Yep. She actually said that to a customer. I told the waiter that it was not his fault and told her that I would never be eating there again. I never will. I ended up paying 20 dollars for a salad, and to be honest, not a very good one. I'm still fuming at the fact that someone actually said that to me. It's not about the money, it's about what I ordered and what I was sneakily being charged for and when I asked about it I got yelled at. Classy.

Authentic Italian-Italian food only available in Italy, now available in Charlotte.

I was totally spoiled to the restaurants in the Little Italy neighborhood of Baltimore, I was beginning to think Charlotte would never have a REAL Italian restaurant....Then came Dolce. The food is wonderful the ambiance is lovely and the gelato I am totally in love with. My husband had the rabbit ragu (a chefs special) and I had the "CANNELLONI di SPINACI " both were melt in your mouth amazing. The fresca salad is also very good!
