Very good pizza and helpful staff. It is located in a courtyard at the Coco Palms resort so you can eat in or out.

On our last night in Playas del Coco we chose to eat at La Dolce Vita. For starters, we had the Calamares fritos. They were okay...not great, but okay. My husband ordered the Seafood Spaghetti while I chose Seafood Soup. Both of these dishes fell way, way short of our expectations. By no means were we new diners in this... More

The reviews were so good on this restaurant but we left disappointed. We're a family of five and the pizza was good but the pasta's fell short. Two of the three pasta dishes were cold, the ravioli over cooked and the carbonara was dry. The cost was pricy, salad @$8 dollars, most pasta dishes @$10. Can't remember pizza cost but... More

We ate here several times while in Playas del Coco and throughly enjoyed the food and staff. The manager is exceptional and certainly wants everyone to have a great experience. Highly recommend it as a place to enjoy.

We eat there a couple of times. Food was very good, and the staff were very nice. The owner makes sure he talks to everyone to see how they are doing.

We ate here last night and found the pastas are very good. I had the herbed linguine with shrimp and my wife had the ravioli. Worth a return visit.

I come to Coco for about 4 months a year. We eat at La Dolce Vita often. My favorite is their pizza. Everything put on it is fresh ingredients. We have also tried their seafood, which again is good. The prices are reasonable for the dish you get. The atmosphere is top rated. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. You... More

They have quite the selection of roman style pizzas here. We had the one with prosciutto and mushrooms. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. We also had this really good chocolate dessert w/ mango sorbet. The owner also came by to see how we were doing.

My wife, kids and I visited this gem of a place to eat and relax. The chef and his beautiful wife made sure every guest is cared for. The atmosphere (outside courtyard) is spectacular and the food is amazing. The deserts are a bonus... Top notch place that will eventually require reservations days in advance...
