La Dolce Vita

Cork City


La Dolce Vita serves up a mouth-watering Italian menu full of fresh pasta, local meat and seafood, and excellent pizza made in the open woodfired brick oven. Main courses are on the heavy side but have a good balance of flavours, and staff are pleasant. Lighting is bright, so don’t expect any romance.
