Perfect wedding reception

We had our wedding in the wine bar. It was perfect for our intimate wedding. The food was excellent and the staff was wonderful.

I've been visiting Dolce Vita with my family since I was in elementary school and it is easily one of our favorite restraunts in Fairfax. We have had many celebrations here including dinners before homecoming and birthday celebrations so I knew this would be a great location for my rehearsal dinner. The events planning team was awesome! Easy to work with and very flexible. We rented out the entire wine bar and hosted ~50 guests. The space we great and Dolce Vita even decorated for us. The food and wine was amazing as always and the service was top notch!

Rather than going down the list of standard "beef or chicken" wedding caterers, we wanted to have our wedding catered by a restaurant we already knew and loved, and Dolce Vita is our favorite little Italian spot in Northern Virginia. The food was absolutely fantastic-- which we knew it would be from all of our trips to the restaurant. (Our tip: the gamberi ripieni is mouthwateringly yummy.) We were seriously impressed at the level of service. We went with a buffet service with passed appetizers during the cocktail hour and a dedicated bartender. They brought a bar pedestal, coolers, plentiful staff, and everything needed to make our night incredible. They even brought plates of appetizers to us (the bride and groom) while we were hiding out away from the guests during the cocktail hour, and brought bride & groom dinner plates during the reception even though it was a buffet. Everyone at Dolce Vita really went above and beyond. Our thanks to everyone there, and to Cyrus, the owner, who was on site managing everything throughout the evening. You all made our night truly wonderful.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
