What a cute little wine bar we stumbled upon! We were coming for the Vietnamese sandwiches next door but decided to stop for a glass of wine and a snack. We ordered the meatballs and my 2 year old loved them. Also had a bite and they were delicious!The service is great and it’s a nice little spot. It’s cozy inside, but it’s got a cute atmosphere. Highly recommend checking it out!

We had a relaxed and enjoyable meal. The owner is warm and friendly. Personable service. Food was great. Especially enjoyed the pasta tossed in Parmesan wheel. Everything was top notch. And laid back. Sitting inside was great. Sat and the bar and she told us about her product and process. Will also be nice to return in wam weather and take advantage of outdoor seating. Unpretentious comfortable restaurant with excellent food & quality of product & service.

This is such a great restaurant! My husband and I just moved from Colorado and have been looking for some good restaurants for date night. Dolly’s is absolutely amazing. From the people to the food, we felt so welcome and are so excited to visit again! If you have a chance, please visit. This is the the best food we have had in the Bay area!

This little gem of a restaurant should not be in El cerrito. It should be in one of the finest cities in the world, but it’s there and it’s absolutely fantastic. Signature dish is the fettuccine in a cheese wheel and she has perfected the dish. The noodles are tender and delicious and the cheese is real and stands out. You must have this dish when you go and they’re wine. Selection is amazing

Similar to other non-5 star reviews, we so wanted this to be amazing. Especially with all of Dolly’s publicity. The olives were so disappointing. They advertise an olive bowl featuring marinated olives. We only received kalamatta olives, seemingly straight from the container. No oil or herbs. I have those in the fridge at home. Fettuccine was as to be expected. No complaints. It did the job. The atmosphere is great and so is the service. As best as it could be with how busy the place was. We both tried the house salad. To be honest, the lettuce was very bitter and some parts were brown. It was the end of the evening so I won’t judge that too much. Just not as satiating as I had hoped. Maybe my mistake was not pairing things with wine.

We loved Dolly’s!! The Fettucine Alfredo was incredible. Our little one loved watching Shenal make it on the Parmigiano Reggiano wheel. We loved interacting with Shenal through the evening, learning about the restaurant’s story. We can’t wait to be back!

Dolly, the person you are and the food you serve is Beyond words. The heart and sweat you put on this place gonna bring you stars one day. Keep serving and keep on doing the best. I would recommend every person to try her place without a second thought. Lots of best wishes for you!

Honestly the best tasting marinara and meatballs I’ve tasted outside of Italy.
Super selection of great European wines and very reasonably priced. On top of that, the owners of this cute little operation are the nicest people. What’s not to like ?

My friend and I had a great charcuterie plate here and a couple of us nice glasses of wines. The owner, Shenal made good recommendations and the food was great!

My wife and Grand daughter found Dolly’s by chance, anybody who’s from El Cerrito knows it’s not known as a food destination. The owner is so friendly, you can tell it’s genuine. The wine is excellent and the service was top notch, a great place to grab a glass of wine and have small plates.
