    An Italian restaurant with an amazingly good selection of pizzas, stretching to 5 pages of A4! Extensive range of antipasti, pasta and mains. Well presented. Everything we had tasted great! Pleasant central courtyard for outdoor dining when the weather permits

    This is the best Italian restaurant in Tartu and in Estonia. Food is very delicious, always looks good, menu is great, staff is very friendly, service is quick and has been for years, which is a good indication for sure! P.S Cocktails are freaking good here!

    This spot couldn't be more perfect! The environment is quite relaxed and peaceful, and the staff members are extremely pleasant people to talk to. You can tell that they are knowledgeable, and you can also tell that the satisfaction of their customers is their first focus. The price is justifiable given the quality of the food, which is above average and has a mix of classic Italian dishes as well as more contemporary takes on those classics.

    Evening was chaos and the restaurant obviously does not want to keep its customers. 1. We had reserved a table for 10 people many days in advance. When we arrived and we were asked to sit at a table that had space for a maximum of 6 people. We asked to get an additional table for our party, but it was not possible to get. However, there was more space for other groups. 2. The warm meals were brought to the table even though we said it out loud that we weren't done with the starter yet. Thus the main meals got cold because the foods stayed on the table for a long time. 3. We had to ask for forks and knives because there weren't any at our table. 4. We arrived for dinner at 18:00. At 19:40 the waiter asks if we can leave already at 20:00 because they have double booked this table and the next group arrives at 20:00. We said NO because we hadn't even ordered dessert yet and we have booked this table for this evening many days ago. 5. Communication was absolutely poor. No one asked our opinion about the food. No one asked if we wanted to buy more to drink and our water glasses were empty continually because we had been given the same amount of water as for groups of 4. 6. We waited at the table for at least 40 minutes for our bill and had to go and ask them for it. 7.We expressed that we want a clear compensation because the evening was a mess. Waiter called the boss and they give us -1euro from each bill. Our party brought approximately 200e to the restaurant (and would give more if someone would have asked during night if we need wine or food more , but they didn't). Poor compensation and absolutely not enough. Sometimes mistakes can happen, but they must be corrected on the spot. This place did not want to ensure that we would come to their restaurant as paying customers again. Very unfortunate.

    Definitely a staple just about every time I visit Tartu, La Dolce Vita offers great pizzas and also a wide range of other Italian food. Busy most days of the week, parties of more than 2 people are recommended to reserve a table. In the summertime, the terrace is a lovely place to enjoy your food al fresco.

    A great place for authentic Italian food. I went there twice with friends and colleagues during my visit to Tartu and I must say we had a pleasant experience each time. Although we were a pretty large group, the staff managed it pretty well. No extraordinarily long wait times or any issues with the service. I would definitely recommend this place for a taste of Italia in Tartu.

    I love this place and visit pretty much every time I visit Tartu. Pizza, pasta and drinks are all wonderful, and there is an amazing cheese selection. Service is always good - mostly young people who speak English if needed. Also dog friendly inside as well as outside.

  • 5/5 Joona S. 2 years ago on Google
    Time can fly, people can change but La Dolce Vita continues to be the best (Italian) trattoria in Tartu, if not in Estonia. Reservation is a must

  • 5/5 Kari K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants in Tartu (although I never order anything but Crudo e Burrata pizza).

  • 5/5 Daniel M. 1 year ago on Google
    For a bit higher price you get amazing food and good service.

  • 5/5 Marina 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious cannelloni, pasta con fruti di mari and pizza. Desserts were also really good, we had Pannacota and tiramisu. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Magdalena G. 10 months ago on Google
    A good place to have Neapolitan pizza in Tartu - the salmon and gorgonzola was great, the Buffalina a bit salty for our taste, but nevertheless everything fresh and quickly served. The staff is nice and speaks good English.

  • 5/5 Aistis B. 6 months ago on Google
    I have had a really pleasant experience in this authentic Italian cuisine restaurant. Reservations recommended, since there aren't many tables, but competition to get seated exists. Food is absolutely great, well served, quickly prepared and expectation - fulfilling!

  • 5/5 Roshni C. 1 year ago on Google
    Its a small cosy beautiful restaurant, loved the decor. Very near to downtown, so just walk a couple of minutes and you reach. They have a huge collection of pasta, risotto and pizzas. Some of the people I went with were vegetarians, so we all ended up taking vegetarian pizzas, all four of then were perfect

  • 5/5 Annike Nurme (Lilleke r. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything was excellent. I loved the Italian vibe. Went there to celebrate the end of school and the beginning of summer with my family, we made a reservation before and i think if we wouldn't have then we wouldn't have gotten a table. The service was nice and polite. The food was delicious. So was the gelato. I'd definitely recommend going there, it's perfect for celebrations but also for other occasions and just enjoying for no particular reason:).

  • 4/5 J N. 10 months ago on Google
    La Dolce Vita is a nice Italian restaurant with friendly staff and nice menu (great choice of pizza and pasta!) We were there several evenings and had pizzas (among others Inferno and Vulcano... Very tasty!) and pasta (spaghetti aglio olio e pepperoncino and tagliatelle with mushroom and ragou... also very tasty!). All dishes tasted stimulating: freshly prepared with good ingredients. Spaghetti ice cream for dessert is recommended! It does not taste like plain spaghetti ice cream, but very vanilla-heavy. Ambience is cozy, even if it is a bit noisy and busy as the restaurant is always well visited..All in all: the restaurant is recommended.

  • 5/5 Susana Corona C. 5 years ago on Google
    Small and cosy, this is as authentic as it gets in Tartu when it comes to Italian cuisine. An excellent eatery in a centric location with an extensive selection of pizzas and pastas, you won't be disappointed! Even though it's in the old town (3 minutes walking distance from the town hall) you might easily miss it given its unassuming exterior, it gets better inside!
