Recently, I dined at the Italian restaurant known as Dolce Sapori. Located directly above Ristorante Pulcinella, known for their authentic Napolentana pizza, Dolce Sapori provides fine Italian dining. Appetizers, salads, authentic pastas, and savory entrées are just the beginning of treasures to be found here. Food ranging from Tuscan Bruschetta to Gamberone in Aqua Pazzo, as well as Linguine con Vongole – a linguine in a clam sauce with pancetta and cubed potato, served on a bed of pesto, are just a few of the pleasantries to be discovered.
Most importantly are the entrées. Succulent rack of lamb and tender veal chop are simply the highlights of what’s available. For those not so interested in exotic flavours held within the Italian cuisine, an amazing two pound steak is available. The food at Dolce Sapori is simply to die for, however, that is not all that complements the restaurant.
Chic, classy, and clean. Just a few words to describe the lavish interior of Dolce Sapori. The arrangement and setting of the restaurant provide a fresh and extremely modern feeling. Not only do the hues of the cerise tables complement the dark surroundings of the shadowy walls, a simple ambiance is created with the variable lighting. Chairs are considerably larger than the convention (most likely to accommodate for the enormous portion sizing), as well as having the ability to swivel a full 360 degrees. The restaurant is also equipped with a full sized deck, providing a magnificent view of the Kensington area. Also, should one find them self in need of entertainment, a projection television is available for use.
Finally, the excellent use of highly qualified waiters, ready to create an unforgettable dining experience, paired with lavish interior and of course food fit for the royals, define Dolce Sapori as a rather unique restaurant. The relatively small menu allows the diner to focus more so on the flavours contained with in the dishes themselves, rather than worry about if they made the correct choice. However, the prices for each dish are on the higher end. With the most inexpensive entrée being $22.95, patrons may consider this as a restaurant reserved for special occasions, again making the experience there more special. All in all, if you ever have the opportunity to taste the excellence of Dolce Sapori’s rack of lamb, I highly recommend it.
