What a great experience I had at the bar. Bartenders very attentive and they literally explained the menu for me. To start I had the strawberry chocolate martini. And it was on point with everything. Appetizer I had the crab cake so far the best I ever had. Main course I always get Chicken smoked Mozzarella Ravioli cooked to perfection. Always fresh and delicious. Best part of this place it’s the staff they make you feel like home. I can substitute change anything and they don’t mind at all. Since I’m with gluten allergies they always comfort my needs. Thank you I will be back for sure

Had a great dinner here with the food and service being exceptional. There is a huge upscale bar separate from the dining room and even an enclosed patio room for al fresco-like dining. I noticed they had pizza for delivery or takeout so I tried it for dinner and it did not disappoint. Other menu options we had were the short rib pasta and fig bruschetta which is highly recommended. Its only a few minutes from the Danbury Palace Theater, so if you’re planning to see a show, stop here for dinner!

Dolce Restaurant offers a delightful culinary experience that reminds me of Italy . My wife and I recently visited for a special evening out, and I can confidently say that our experience was nothing short of exceptional.
Upon entering Dolce, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with elegant decor and soft lighting that set the perfect tone for a romantic dinner. The attentive staff welcomed us with smiles and promptly seated us at a cozy table, allowing us to settle in on delightful menu.
One of the highlights of our evening was undoubtedly the wine selection. We opted for a bottle of Caymus, a superb choice that perfectly complemented our meal. The restaurant boasts an impressive array of both red and white wines, catering to diverse palates and preferences. The waiter was knowledgeable and offered excellent recommendations, ensuring we found the perfect pairing for our dishes.

For appetizers, we had crab cake and the lobster cold. The crab cake was a standout, boasting a delightful blend of flavors with a crispy exterior and tender, succulent crab meat. Each bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and attention to detail. My wife’s choice of cold lobster was equally impressive, featuring fresh, perfectly cooked lobster that was both sweet and savory. To top it off, we were treated to a complimentary fresh house salad, which was a lovely surprise and a refreshing start to our meal.
Moving on to the main course, we chose the shrimp and scallops dish, which was beautifully presented . The shrimp were plump and juicy, while the scallops were seared to perfection—golden on the outside and tender within. The dish was expertly seasoned, balancing the natural sweetness.
My wife, on the other hand, selected the spicy rigatoni with vodka sauce, and I can honestly say it was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever tasted. The rigatoni was cooked al dente, and the vodka sauce was rich and creamy, with just the right amount of spice to elevate the dish without overwhelming it. It was a perfect choice for anyone who enjoys a bit of heat in their pasta.
As if we weren’t already thoroughly satisfied, we couldn’t resist the temptation of dessert. We decided to share the house-made chocolate lava cake , which was simply divine. It was rich, velvety—an absolute must-try for chocolate lovers. The portion was generous, making it
Highly recommended. Best Italian food we ever had in Danbury

Today I dined at this place, which has a very sweet and cozy atmosphere. I decided to come because of its high ratings and positive reviews. Unfortunately, my experience with the main dish did not meet my expectations.
I ordered the pappardelle with veal ragù, expecting a traditional tomato-based ragù. At no point was I informed that this was a white ragù, prepared without tomatoes. The dish arrived as pappardelle with veal and a reduction of carrots, onions, and celery, but without a tomato sauce or much depth of flavor.
Sadly, I found the dish to be quite bland and lacking seasoning, especially for a ragù, which is usually rich and flavorful.
When the server asked if everything was okay, I politely explained that I had expected a tomato-based veal ragù. Instead of clarifying the style of the dish beforehand, her response was simply, “That’s how we prepare it here,” in a tone I found dismissive and not very welcoming.
I believe this type of dish should be explained more clearly on the menu or by the staff, as not everyone assumes ragù will be served as a white sauce. Better communication would have greatly improved the experience.

Right when I got to Dolce, I felt a warm welcoming from the staff. Not to mention, the vibe was incredibly cozy and it felt comfortable to be there. The Italian rigatoni was absolutely incredible. The pasta was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of sauce making each bite packed with flavor. It tasted rich, fresh, and clearly homemade, not rushed or watered down at all. The portion was generous and super satisfying, and you can tell a lot of care went into making it. Easily one of the best rigatoni dishes I’ve had—100% worth ordering again.

This Italian restaurant was absolutely amazing. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, with a cozy yet elegant vibe. The food was the highlight—everything tasted fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauces were rich without being heavy, and the portions were just right.
The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of without being overbearing. You can tell they really care about both the food and the experience they give their guests. Overall, this place is a must-visit if you’re craving real Italian comfort food. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Who wants to cook after a flight from Paris to NY, so we decided to stop here and give it a try… we were very pleased and surprised at the warm pub like atmosphere in the bar area. We opted for a couple of seats around the bar instead of the hi top tables as there were many to choose from. The holiday music & garland with lights only pleased me more. The red hue in the ceiling might be a permanent light.
Our bartender was pleasant & made a great tasting margarita & kept the beers cold & flowing for my boyfriend. Just an FYI Dolce does not have tap beet. We decided to try a couple of apps from the Happy Hour menu (Thursdays is Ladies Night too) we ordered the Brussel Spouts & Mushroom Risotto. The Risotto was perfect & wonderful. The Brussel Sprouts were a bit dry & faux bacon. If there was more of a glaze to the sprouts, I’d five stars for the apps.
We will be back to try more dishes that’s for sure!

Im amazed with this place. Every time we visit. It just get better and better. They change the specials twice a week. And you never see the same items there. Always something new. This week I tried the amazing Bronx Chicken Parm with hot cherry peppers and vodka sauce. By far best chicken parm I ever had. They do give a lot of food. So you get what you pay for. Appetizer not to forget Grandmas meatballs with ricotta another MUST try appetizers. This place never disappoints. Highly recommended. Dolce will be best Italian restaurant in Danbury

What a pleasant surprise! As someone that frequents the North End in Boston I was very impressed with this meal.
We were greeted at the door with a big smile and immediately sat down in the bar area (a personal favorite of mine). Our server Jordan was super helpful, I mentioned it was our first time here as out of town guests to Danbury CT and she took the time to answer all our questions! And trust me…I have an annoying amount of them!
The pasta was homemade and cooked to perfection, the portions were big enough to have leftovers!
Jordan mentioned to the owner it was our first time and he wanted to end our meal with complimentary Lemoncello or Sambuca. We elected for the lemoncello and it was great!
I recommend going if you want to be treated like a local! They have a cute patio for nicer weather! This is a must visit.
