Dolce Vita - Valence

We had lunch in this Italian restaurant, just a few steps away from the busy streets. large Italian food,- fast and quality service. all the plates were clean.

Friendly people, cozy restaurant, but very busy after midday opening. too many pizza customers make the chef forget the main dishes ordered by regular (sitting) guests.

Paid for a medium bland pizza and desert as well as a beer (only available). €20.50 rained, so I wanted somewhere close.

We chose this restaurant as it was out of the central hub of Valence. Our experience has been the local restaurants out of the hum drum are better value and give a more balanced appreciation of the area. We choose the 2 chef's specials which...were veal dishes and while they were large, they were just food. Too salty and not a lot of flavour. Very average for Italian food...should have had the pizza

A late evening meal was required for a tired and hungry traveller! Conveniently situated in a central location and close to my hotel, a Pizza with some vino seemed very appealing. The outside tables were nearly all occupied on a warm night, but there was...one available and the service was quick and efficient. A delicious thin and crispy home baked four-cheese pizza with olives and a medium carafe of house red went down very well indeed. Reasonably priced, hot and crispy and served up in no time it was certainly appreciated. Many young locals were engaged in conversation with the chef as he served up some fine looking ice-creams and desserts. He was sporting a large white traditional chef’s hat that set the scene for the French/Italian look! If you want a quick sit-down pizza in Valence, not too far from the train station, then Dolce Vita hits the spot.
