This authentic Italian Caffe was created in 1992 by Gianfranco Marrocco who had come to America from Italy with a dream.

Had Lunch at Caffe Dolce Vita with my friends after a long morning of shopping. Great food everything was amazing including the attention from the staff. I had the Tuna sandwiche with black olives, diced tomatoes, celery, onions, extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Went to Caffe Dolce Vita for breakfast on Saturday with the family. We got a nice table outside on De Pasquale Square. The food was delicious a great breakfast place. The whole family was completely satisfied.
The staff is INHUMAN. Please DO NOT GO. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY BUSINESS. We went there on Columbus Day. It turn out to be a very hot day. The umbrella did not provide any shade at where we were sitting. We had children ages 4 to 7 with us and they were on the verge of getting sun stroke. Their faces were all red, those at our next table were smoking cigars. We asked the waitress if we could move to a shaded area that had an empty table and seating of the same size. The answer was NO. We got the same answer from the hostess and... read more
Worst service ever! – It was 20 minutes before a waitperson even acknowledged us after being seated. It was another 20 until we got our first drink order, and a subsequent 20 minutes to put in our appetizers and another round of drinks. The calamari was cold and mushy with a thick buttery cheese-like sauce which made it a soggy mass. Plus, it was cold. Calamari is supposed to be crispy. After about 2 hours of this we finally got our meals literally THROWN at us by a RUNNING waitress (not our original waitress). After eating ... read more
Dirty place – I went there with friends after a show at the theater to end the evening nicely. Bad... very bad idea!!! It was a windy night of March, and the only table available was close to the door. Fine... it could be worse. While my friends ordered desserts, I ordered a cappuccino (I had my back against the door, I needed something warm). My friends ice cream and store made cakes came fast, as did my cappuccino served in a glass (like an Irish Coffee without the Irish) and heavily sprinkled with cinnamon. Weird for an i... read more
Worst dining experience ever – I went to Dolce Vita for brunch with friends. WHAT A MISTAKE! The inside was stuffy on a hot day and it took our waitress forever to get over to take our order. We should have known that we were in for a horrible experience and left at that very moment. Unfortunately, we thought we would give them the benefit of the doubt. WRONG CHOICE...they were completely unapologetic when our food NEVER showed up. They were rude and beyond harassing towards us. I have never come in contact with such horribl... read more
worst experience in providence – Avoid this restaurant! You might get chased down the street by a disheveled waitress--I did! On our last morning visiting Providence we stumbled across this quaint restaurant with hopes of enjoying a nice brunch before we left. Little did we know we had really stumbled into one of the worst dining experiences we had ever had. Upon arrival me and my friends were seated at a poorly lit, stuffy and uninteresting table. Our waitress, who clearly had a better place to be than at our table, finally... read more
Editorial Review by Christy Buena – Romantic Italian restaurant serves a selection of dishes including pasta, pizza and offers an extensive wine list and outdoor dining.
Peace and quality – Caffe Dolce Vita is tucked back the corner of a beatiful courtyard off of federal hill. The food is top notch and the service is more than that of a regular cafe. Don't be fooled by the name this place is more than a caffe. I go there all the time to finish off my evenings with a nice espresso, and some impecable deserts. The last time I was there (12/02) they were undergoing a new expansion and renovation project. Wether you go after a long night out and you just wanting to relax, or you start your eveni... read more
