Taste of the Month

La Dolce Vita is the perfect spot for everything from a romantic date to a classy night out with friends. Connected to the Chop House in downtown Ann Arbor, La Dolce Vita serves the finest appetizers, desserts, drinks and more—from sweets prepared by the restaurant’s own pastry chef, to cognacs or single malt scotches and fine wines. The basement serves as a cigar bar, featuring hand-rolled cigars and a relaxing setting decorated with leather and wood furniture.

During my visit to La Dolce Vita, I started off with Tuna Tartar, an appetizer that features a blend of tuna and avocado served with tortilla chips. It was the perfect dish for those who are looking for something light, yet flavorful and was complimented well by a glass of Rodney Strong Cabernet. I finished off my visit with the Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Tort—a deliciously rich, chocolatey dessert that is best described as part pie and part chocolate candy.

The combination of exquisite food and calming atmosphere makes La Dolce Vita the perfect place to kick back and relax after a long day at work, celebrate a special occasion, go out for an intimate date or to catch up over drinks and desert with a friend.
