Our loyal clientele highly recommend the award winning signature dish Boquinete Dolce Vita, a local snapper topped with shrimp and mushrooms, enclosed in puff pastry, and served with lobster sauce. The service is refined and friendly, and dinner specials change daily to match the season. Ourdiverse wine list from around the world complements the dinner. La Dolce Vita is an ideal setting for small groups, business functions, parties, rehearsal dinners and other special events. Dress code: Casual, no cut off shirtsleeves for gentlemen.

Our annual visit to Cancun must always include at least one or more visits to La Dolce Vita. Every week we had new guests visit us and they insisted that we return to La Dolce Vita more than once. Everything on their menu is delicious. You start with a complementary appetizer for the table. My favorite is the Veal Marsala. No one makes it better! It's absolutely delicious. Other dishes we had were pizza, chicken parmesan, pasta with sausage and tomatoes, fresh red snapper, and their baked fish in a pastry shell. Everyone loved their meals. The service is excellent and are very attentive, (special shout out to Ramon and Francisco Prices are reasonable compared to the ones in the hotel zone. Love that they cap off a wonderful meal with an after-dinner drink. The host Juan Carlos is ever so gracious and welcoming. Don't hesitate to make a reservation at this wonderful restaurant.

Went on a recommendation a few years ago, everything was great then and still is. Party of six and all the dishes were spectacular. Service is top notch. Prices are extremely reasonable. Be sure to save room for dessert. Complimentary after dinner drink is nice way to round out dinner. Easy taxi ride from hotel zone.

We have dined at this restaurant for years and it is always enjoyable. Definitely worth the travel from the hotel zone. Our latest visit was on a Friday night with a group of twelve where we spent upwards of three hours eating, drinking and socializing in our own dining area. The room could easily handle a few more. The pace of the meal service was good but never felt rushed. Every course arrived for the collective group at the same time. All the food was hot thanks to the piping hot plates. Everyone loved their entree choices. The liquor cart, included with the meal, is a nice touch. Have a large group? Try this restaurant out as they can certainly handle it. We will be back again soon.

We were a party of 5 who ate at LaDolce Vita. We had eaten there several years ago and had very much liked it then. The food is amazing and the service was equally as good. The price was also excellent, especially for the wonderful food! It will be a restaurant we will return to the next time we are in Cancun!
