La Dolce Vita Ristorante Bar

Reservations aren't taken at this popular, bi-level Italian restaurant, where long waits for a table are the norm. Most folks pass the time in the bar, having a drink and enjoying the view of the Malecón. Once seated (many tables have excellent ocean views), the kitchen does not disappoint. The pizzas, cooked in a wood-burning oven, are outstanding. The seafood is fresh. And the homemade pasta dishes are flavored with wonderfully rich sauces.
