Web: Dolce Italian
Status: Opens Today
The restaurant at the newly opened retro hotel, Gale South Beach, is now open. Dolce Italian covers a lot of ground at the Gale, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Choose from the upstairs wood-paneled dining room with grey leather banquettes that has a 1950s classic yet sexy feel, the lobby level bar area for some appetizers and light bites, or have a pizza for lunch on the pool deck. Behind the Italian restaurant is LDV Hospitality, the group who also handles bar/lounge areas Regent Cocktail Club and Rec Room at the Gale. Dolce's menu is a more approachable, locals version of Italian-on-the-beach without a whole mess or fuss and reasonable price points for the beach. Appetizers include salads and hot and cold antipasti in a wide range of prices, Neapolitan pizzas run from $13 to $18, pastas are around $20, and entrees start at $24 for a seafood risotto and go up to $32 for veal milanese. And what would be a visit to such a place without something sweet? Dessert offerings include a chocolate hazelnut mousse, key lime pie, classic tiramisu, and tartufos.
