10Best Says

La Dolce Vita revels in anonymity. A blank green wall fronts Woodward Avenue, and it's only the bevy of luxury vehicles parked around back that give any indication of the culinary delights inside. Expect the calamari to be delicately fried to a golden yellow – still taut with flavor – and the veal scaloppini is sautéed to a crisp perfection. For warmer evenings, courtyard dining is also an option.
