Went here last night with my family of 7 we didn't have reservations as it was last minute but they sat us right away. Service was wonderful, we got appetizers fried artichokes and fried zucchini they were amazing!! Then we ordered dad and I had chicken parm, mom had salmon pasta, my son chicken fettuccine, others lobster ravioli and pesto gnocchi and I got spaghetti and meatballs to go for my boyfriend all the food was amazing. There was a little delay on my sons food but he was happy tasting everyone else's that he didn't notice the waitress kept apologizing and even took it off the tab which wasn't a big deal it was maybe a 5 minute delay nothing crazy... but the food service was outstanding we will definitely be back!!

Hubby & I are on vacation in Lake Havasu. We had dinner here tonight. We ordered a sangria, beer & side salad. They give you bread & butter with herbs. Hubby ordered Spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs. I ordered the chicken parmigiana with fettuccine Alfredo. Everything was excellent! The drinks, food, and service was excellent! If we lived here, this would definitely be our place for Italian food!

The cleanliness is impeccable, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. And let's talk about the food--delicious is an understatement!

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.

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

Second night in a row, so that says something. The first night we were in a big group. We started out with a few appetizers: Caesar salad, bruschetta, calamari, and sausage and peppers pizza. I ate everything except the calamari (was told it was very good) and all of it was delicious. I only had one bruschetta because everyone demolished that plate before it got to me. Two of those next time. My spaghetti and meatballs with red sauce was the best. I went back today and got the meat sauce. Having had both, I prefer the red sauce because it is sweeter, but don't get me wrong, I ate most of the meat sauce. The meatballs are very good next time I am getting a side to go. Also for next time is the special lemon cake. Until I am out here again. Oh yeah, Glenn, the server was super friendly and the owner is cute.
