I got the Caprese pasta with vodka sauce, the crab balls, and the bread and butter and EVERYTHING was to die for. I’m picky and have pretty expensive taste and this place could rival several fine dining establishments I’ve been to. If you’re in Anderson and want Italian food, this is the place to go.

Dolce Vita Italian Bistro and Pizzaria, located on Hwy 81 on Anderson, SC, was an absolutely phenomenal experience. The food was homemade, fresh and delicious. Thos restaurant is close to home and we just can't believe we have never been until now. Our server took great care of us and we had to take some home since the portions were so large. We will be back!!

Decided to stop for lunch on a road trip and we were beyond impressed! The food was incredible and having just come back from Italy, it was delicious and almost exactly like what we had in Italy. Bruschetta was 10/10 and there was a lot of it! If I can recommend one dish, it's the Lasagna! The carbonara and chicken parm were great as well. The service was decent. At times we felt like we were a little bit of a bother to the waitress. Overall we had a great time and we will probably be back again for sure!!

Stopped in on our way home from Virginia. The atmosphere was warm and Mediterranean. We were graciously seated, served beverages, and given the menu. Our waitress was attentive, answered our questions, and cared for us as if we were ‘family.’ Great food, great service, great experience. We HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting genuine Italian cuisine.

I had lunch here for the first time on Wednesday. Although it took a while for the host staff to acknowledge us, our server was exceptional. The food was prepared to perfection—the temperature, texture, flavor, and quality were all spot-on. This restaurant will definitely be one of my go-to places in Anderson.

I was doing contract work, so I had the desire for some Italian. Everything I had on the menu was delicious. The create your pasta was my fettuccine Alfredo with chicken was awesome. The minestrone soup was great and definite warmed me up as it was 30 degrees out. The tiramisu was the best that I've ever had. I definitely will be coming back soon for work and whenever I do vacay in the Carolina's.
