Was fortunate to drop in when they had osso buco as a special. It was prepared perfectly and so delicious. Maybe you'll get lucky like us. Service is the best and we prefer the bar area for dining.

The food and service are incredible at La Vita Dolce. You must get reservations if you want to avoid a wait because this place a block from Lake Havasu is popular. We were seated promptly. Our server, Arlo, was energetic, humorous, engaging and attentive. He made great recommendations. He was 5 star fun. The staff kept water glasses full and wine coming. The menu has traditional Italian offerings, but the food is elevated. They have a number of enticing specials and willingly modify to adapt to patron needs. Pick your pasta, pick your sauce! The wine menu is extensive and we tried several bottles of classic Italian wines. Each was delicious. I started with the side Caesar, which was fresh and delicious. The complementary Italian bread is freshly baked and soft, served with a whipped butter. I had the Chefs Special Frutti Di Mare with was packed with lobster, shrimp, clams, mussels and more smothered in a delightful creamy vodka sauce atop a bed of linguini. The seafood was perfectly prepared and tender. This was a meal that I will dream about for a long time. My SIL had the same, but adapted the dish with angel hair pasta and a wine lemon sauce which she loved. Several folks had the Shrimp Scampi with angel hair pasta which was garnished with asparagus and carrots. The shrimp was plump and delicious. My bestie had the Shrimp Risotto which was also a special menu item. She loved her meal. The restaurant has a mix of booths and tables with Italian themed decor. There is a full bar that was hopping during our visit. The dining room gets really loud and it was hard to hear the person next to you. But there was an energy that made you feel on vacation. I'd come back in a heartbeat. This is an easy 5 stars.

As a visitor, stumbling across this restaurant was a great experience. We felt so welcomed even though it was definitely a local spot. The greeters are phenomenal and so bubbly. The food was so gosh dang authentic and I say that coming from an Italian family. The owner was walking around and just hyping everyone up it was honestly phenomenal.

We ate early. 3:30pm. The food was wonderful. My husband had chicken Marsala that was very tasty and a big portion. The waiter and chef worked together to modify it to be digestible for his dietary restrictions. That is so special. The eggplant rolls appetizer was good but overcooked and not enough sauce. I had the Trifecta. The homemade gnocchi was out of this world and also the ravioli. The martini menu was great. Their bread is very good. We will be back when we come to Havasu. Our waiter was very good
