I honestly don’t know why we waited so long to check this place out! We ordered for take out and it did not disappoint! Food was absolutely delicious with large filling portions. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my daughter eat her dinner so fast. She enjoyed every last bit of her chicken parm. Best penne vodka in the area. The restaurant was so beautifully decorated and we will have to stop by again for dine in. We walked in to place our order and food was ready quickly. We will be back!

My girlfriends and I came in for a girls weekend dinner. The restaurant was decorated for Valentines adorably. We got the 4 course dinner special and each course did not disappoint (holy dessert flight!) Our waitress Tammy was absolutely wonderful. I wasn’t expecting the restaurant to be full in single digit weather but now I know why.

Very disappointed. Both meals are cold even though I specifically told the woman who took my order over the phone that I wanted the food hot and that I would be picking it up at 6:50 pm. I arrived exactly at 6:50 pm. The chicken parm pasta was completely dry with plain, bland noodles, and the chicken parm had barely any sauce. I specifically requested for extra sauce and didn’t receive any sauce.
I ordered over the phone and asked for the $36.99 for two. Nothing in their website about the New Year’s Eve menu with a different price. I was told there was a New Year’s Eve special menu, but I was not informed that the price was per person. Since the regular menu is for two, I assumed they were simply narrowing the menu for New Year’s Eve — this was never clarified. I was also not told that each can get a dessert. The regular menu includes only one dessert, so I ended up with two tiramisus instead of being able to choose a different dessert for my husband.
When we got home (3 minutes away), I called to express my disappointment. The woman who answered said she would transfer me to a manager, but the call was disconnected. I called back because I wanted the management to know how unacceptable this New Year’s Eve dinner was. Unfortunately, the woman on the other line said she couldn’t hear me and hung up again.
I ordered at 4:45 pm and saying we are working and Im ordering ahead of time, I will be picking up the order at 6:50pm but the order has been ready since 5:28 pm per the receipt attached. So my order was sitting for more than 1 hour.
Had I known all of this, I would have cooked dinner myself rather than pay over $95 for food neither of us enjoyed. Poor communication, cold food, and extremely disappointing service. Not worth the price!!!

We are new to the area and are trying out local establishments. Everything was going well- we saw the place was very busy on our way to another restaurant so I told my to husband stop here instead. Usually business is a good sign of good food. We highly enjoy dining out.
Our server was Joey who was FANTASTIC, along with Brooke who was helping bus tables and drinks. The two were an AMAZING team. All of the food was GREAT along with the service.
Unfortunately before I dined I went to wash my hands and was absolutely ASTOUNDED that there was multiple ceiling tiles with clear moisture damage and MOLD just blatantly out for everyone to see. I wanted to leave the restaurant but I didn’t want to embarrass the servers or my family for that matter. Obviously this is of no fault to the employees – I don’t know who the owner of the building is, or if this restaurant even owns the building. I don’t know if this is just normal in coastal NJ or what but I just can’t even begin to understand why this hasn’t been dealt with in a clearly HIGHLY POPULAR establishment. They’re putting their employees first and foremost at risk and all of the patrons who patronize the business. We won’t be back sadly.

My family came here for the first time as we don’t live in the area, however, we loved it so much we plan on going frequently when we head back from our beach trips over the summer. It’s really a hidden gem. The food is some of the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant honestly. The staff is also very nice it was very welcoming. The servers were polite and quick to get you what you need. You can also tell they put a lot of effort into the ambiance and do a great job in doing so. My family and I are very excited to come back. I highly recommend.

Dolce Liberta is truly one of the best dining experiences! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxing night out. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel welcome and well taken care of throughout the entire meal.
The food is absolutely outstanding. Everything tastes fresh, authentic, and clearly made with care. The menu has a great variety of Italian classics and seafood dishes, and every plate is beautifully prepared and full of flavor. You can really tell they take pride in their cooking.
What really stood out was how consistent everything was—from the service to the presentation to the taste of the dishes. It’s the kind of place where you leave already looking forward to your next visit.
If you’re looking for delicious Italian food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere, Dolce Liberta is a must-visit. Highly recommend

Our server, Addison, was spectacular!! From the moment we sat down, she was attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Every recommendation was spot‑on! Our food was amazing! Addison made us feel welcomed and cared for throughout the entire meal. Her professionalism and charismatic personality turned a great dinner into an exceptional experience. Truly a 5‑star service. We will definitely be back!

Amazing Italian Restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm, beautifully decorated and inviting. Everything we ordered was delicious. Aside from just going for dinner, we recently held a private party here and we were very impressed from start to finish and would recommend to anyone looking for an establishment to hold a party/occasion. Will continue to return as it’s now one of our favorite places to eat!

Recently had my baby shower here. We had a wonderful experience. Staff was excellent and accommodating. Atmosphere was perfect, decorations flawless. Food was delicious. So many of the guests complimented the food and said they’d be back for dinner.

Our go to stop every month to see the relatives who live nearby.
The spot is a vibrant, warm and welcoming experience from start to finish. Boasting an incredible menu for every taste and appetite as well as a comfortable, modern ambiance that sets the mood to chill as soon as you sit down.
We have always enjoyed ourselves – lunch, dinner and wine – it’s always a good time.
Looking down the line at these google reviews, shows more proof that any establishment with integrity and care is bound to face some mud slinging from the keyboard kids…. Thankfully, Olivia and the crew at Dolce shine fine beyond petty mess.
Keep doing your thing Dolce, you’re incredible.
