Dolce Vita is a staple of great Italian food in Tucson. WE have been going there for 12 years. last night, we went to dinner and rather having the same thing, the baked lasagna, which is ooey gooey good, we tried the chicken piccatta. It was traditionally preapred with the lemon and capers and lightly pan seared. The service is good and they always bring fresh bread to the table. It is a family owned restaurant and Harry is usually does the front of the house and greets his guests on a nightly basis. It's cozy and reasonable and always a good hearty meal!

We had been coming to this restaurant for about 11 years. On 12/10 we arrived about 1:30PM. An unsmiling, tall waiter came to our table. We told him we wanted to split a lasagna lunch. He looked down his nose at us and said loudly "we don't do that" When we told him we had done that numerous times at his restaurant, he said loudly I'll have to charge you 3 dollars. So we got the full lunch. It had been customary at this place for the waiter to bring bread at about the time he brought the drinks. Drinks came, no bread. Salad came and still no bread. Lasagna came, still no bread. Finally, part way through the lunch, the cold, slightly stale bread came. Waiter did not fill our iced tea glasses until they sat empty 5-10 minutes. The Lasagna was not of the usual high quality that we were used to. We both agreed it was of the same quality as frozen Lasagna from Costco. Waiter brought the check & never asked if we wanted anything else, like desert or coffee.No more Dolce Vita.
