Dolce Vita Restaurant has just launched their new Salumeria/Italian Deli located within the restaurant and it’s exactly what this area has been lacking; a high quality Italian Delicatessen providing authentic Italian meals for take out, outstanding sandwiches, and genuine Italian deli options not found anywhere local. The food and atmosphere will make you feel like you’re back on NY’s Mulberry Street! Kudos to Chef Joe and Arlene for giving Bluffton an authentic Italian experience like no other!

Got a reservation for two during the week, but they were not very busy. Great selection of mid-level wines that were priced very well. I had a Pio Cesare – Dolcetto at a very good price.
Had two appetizers; the calamari was good, but not special. We also had fried -stuffed zucchini flowers which were great.
For the main entrees, we both had a pasta with seafood with dirrecent sauces. Both were excellent. Service was great and pricing was a good value. Tiramisu for dessert was excellent.

Amazing service! Patrick was an awesome waiter and the chef made sauce that I can eat. I can’t eat heavy sauces and he made a light tomatoes sauce and it was amazing! Thank you chef and Patrick! We will be returning customers.

Wonderful family owned restaurant with amazing food!! The owner Arlene was so sweet and made sure to catch us at the door to tell us goodnight and she hoped we’d be back….we will definitely be back! There are many Italian restaurants in the area but this was real, fresh Italian food and some of the best I’ve had outside of Italy.

What a hidden gem!!! DO NOT let the looks of the location deter you from stopping here!
If you like real Italian food, you will love Dolce Vita! We were in Bluffton on business and a local suggested this ristorante for our evening meal together. You can’t go wrong with a full bar, great Italian wine and birra selections, combined with some of the best Italian cooking ever. Everyone in our party of 4 was blown away with the service and food.

Had a great dinner. I loved the homemade sausage and rigatoni. That was a really nice touch. I’m not sure about the limoncello, though. That was nothing like I expected. Could just be me? I’ll definitely go back there next time I’m in Bluffton.

I ordered take out for dinner tonight. The food was heavy and unappetizing mostly because everything was in a pool of oil. And it all came in styrofoam containers which is just messy and unhealthy and bad presentation. I ordered the Caprese salad and no where does it say it comes with roasted red peppers, which I hate. This was in a pool of oil and was almost all red peppers and about 2 tomatoes and two slices of mozzarella. Ordered a rigatoni dish and I had to strain it with a colander before attempting to eat it. Ordered the clams possilippo and it was again way too much oil and not enough marinara to balance it. Ordered the chicken parm. For the price I can’t believe it was only one cutlet and allllll really oversauced linguini. No one feels good after eating a meal like this.
