About La Dolce Vita

Italian done properly is rare in Puerto Banús, and La Dolce Vita is where locals keep landing when they want it. The room is beautifully decorated and the atmosphere builds through the evening, often with live music running alongside dinner. Pasta is the thing to order: the carbonara draws the most attention of anything on the menu, and the risotto is not far behind. Focaccia arrives early and sets the tone. You can watch the pizzas go into the oven from the dining room, which tells you something about how the kitchen works. The staff are what people remember most — Wendy, Victor, Emilie, Paola, Gallardo and Natalia come up again and again by name, and the menu recommendations they give are worth taking. Families, couples and solo diners all seem equally at home here.

La Dolce Vita is one of those places where the dessert menu is not an afterthought — a detail regulars tend to mention first.

In the last 90 days, La Dolce Vita has drawn 23 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
