Do not go here for NYE
by nohappy25 at Citysearch
Do not go here for new year's eve. We gave $500 prior to new year's for a table and they made us wait for 2 hours outside and there were tons of other people in the same situation. They basically overbooked the place. The manager refused to speak with us. I refuse to go back there after they ruined by NYE 2008 and gave no sympathy to us when we complained the day after.
- Pros: worst service ever, overpriced drinks, no management skills

Great Place!!!!

Dolce still is a great Philadelphia standard, even after not visiting for two years. The waiter was able to recommend a resonably priced Italian wine that was wonderful. The specials were terrific and even the menu, with it's excellent mix of standard and eclectic pastas and entrees gives any patron something fun to eat. It ia great spot for a casual night out or a special occasion. One of Philly's best Italian!
- Pros: Great Food and Service

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Dave -- the owner -- is HORRIBLE. We had a reservation tonight and were asked to move to 3 different spots and waited about 30 minutes for our table because they gave it away to a party that was ONE HOUR LATE. Before we sat down, the hostess (L) told us that we would get a free round of drinks for the inconvenience. As we ordered, we told the waitress that the first round was free and she said she would confirm with the hostess (and never followed up). However, when we got the bill, they charged us for all of the drinks and added a 20% service charge. When we confronted the owner, the hostess denied that we ever had the conversation and the owner said that he never authorized the charge. So we ended up paying for an entire round of 10 people's drinks when we were explicitly told that it was on the house. TO TOP IT ALL OFF, on the way out, we were stopped by the bouncer and prevented from leaving the restaurant because there was a miscommunication that we hadn't paid the bill so we were literally held back until he could confirm that the bill was paid. Finally, it took a good 15-20 minutes to get our car from the valet. All in all, the service was HORRENDOUS and the food was average, at best. THE OWNER IS AWFUL.
- Pros: Nothing, but the bouncer (Mike) is awesome
- Cons: Worst service ever, Mediocre Food
