Dolce Vita – Opening Fall 2025

Step into Dolce Vita, where the warmth of Southern Italy meets the heart of Aurora. Created by the award-winning team behind Pizza Pasta Villa, Dolce Vita brings an elevated yet welcoming Italian dining experience to Southlands — celebrating handmade food, timeless flavors, and heartfelt hospitality.

From handcrafted pastas and wood-fired pizzas to expertly grilled seafood, steaks, and lamb, every dish is prepared from scratch using premium ingredients. Guests can enjoy a vibrant indoor space or relax on the patio while savoring regional wines, craft cocktails, and classic Italian desserts like tiramisu and ricotta cheesecake.

With inclusive options like gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and non-GMO dishes, Dolce Vita is designed for multi-generational gatherings — where families, friends, and neighbors feel at home.

More than a restaurant, Dolce Vita is a community hub, hosting master classes, local fundraisers, and honoring educators and first responders with lifelong discounts. Whether you’re celebrating a special night out or just craving real Italian comfort, Dolce Vita invites you to slow down, savor, and experience la dolce vita — the sweet life.
