LaDolce Vita / La Strada

Welcome to La Dolce Vita Bistro - “The Sweet Life,” a restaurant and bistro created to recapture the bell-epoque charm of “The Italian Drug,” opened here by Dr. Anthony Caruso in 1914. In the tradition of the great Europian bistros, La Dolce Vita is devoted to providing a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for everything from eight course dinners to coffee and Calvino. We strive to prepare the perfect meal, or the perfect cappuccino, and let you enjoy it at your leisure. Our pasta is cooked fresh to order, our sauces and dressing are painstakingly prepared using only the finest ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, the freshest vegetables, imported whole tomatoes, fresh basil and Italian parsley... and your table is reserved for the evening.

So allow yourself to drift back to an age when time was life’s greatest commodity. Relax and enjoy the sweet life (and please don’t keep it a secret.)

Terry Tarantino

East 4ths newest restaurant is now open…La Strada. "The food is a combination of the five Mediterranean cuisines I love," says Terry Tarantino, also owner of La Dolce Vita in Little Italy. "Spanish, Moroccan, Turkish, Italian and Greek." A custom-built wood-burning grill cooks off items such as shish kebab, Moroccan chicken, lamb-and-beef skewers and cheese-stuffed artichokes. While dining, enjoy a space "that gives the feeling of dining outside at dusk - with a Fellini touch." Open for Lunch and Dinner.

This is a combo deal so each purchaser  gets 1 certificate for La Strada and 1certificate for La Dolce Vita for $25 each!
