La Dolce Vita Description:
With its tin ceiling, Casablanca-style fans and long, tiled bar, it's easy to see what sets this city bistro apart from the other spaghetti and meatball joints in Cleveland's Little Italy. The menu, which boasts a small selection of thin-crust, handmade pizzas, traditional pasta dishes and creative specialties, is reliably satisfying and different, much like the décor. Combine the baby clams Tarantino (named for the owner), simmered with zucchini and tomatoes, with any of the pasta dishes and you've got yourself a feast. The veal Pavarotti (in the menu section honoring famous guests) is a solid marriage of mushrooms and Marsala, while the walnut and pear "soup" appetizer is an inspired starter. The house allegiance to Italian wines makes for an interesting, yet affordable, sipping experience. For entertainment, enjoy screenings of classic Italian films, often projected on the restaurant's back wall.
