Dolce Liberta

Olivia coordinated and executed THE most incredible night of our lives - our wedding! After being left disappointed by our visit with an initial venue we had in mind, it struck me that I loved Dolce’s food and admired the countless beautiful photographs of private events I had seen posted on social media and thought - maybe, just maybe Dolce Liberta would be able to accommodate an 100 guest wedding and shut down for us.

I was an anxious mess on the ride over to meet with Olivia for the first time, feeling so thrown off that the first venue I had my heart set on was just not going to be the one for us. However, only minutes into our initial discussion of possibilities for food, decor, and more, I was smiling ear to ear. I felt that click of relief and excitement- Olivia/Dolce were going to be the place my husband and I celebrated our wedding!!

From there, the rest was months of fun idea-sharing and troubleshooting. Olivia was our wedding coordinator, graphic designer for our wedding invites and day-of signage & decor, menu designer, floral designer, the list goes on. I remember thinking - how on earth is Olivia wearing this many hats for our wedding and still operating the restaurant and hosting other private events?! The answer to that question became so very apparent the days leading up to the wedding and on the night of our reception- the Dolce team (although much more like a family) was willing to go above and beyond for Olivia- and my husband and I- to represent the Dolce name and give life to our dream wedding reception.

The servers, food runners, greeters, the chef and line cooks behind the scenes, bar tender’s assistant, etc were all on point. But not just efficient and friendly- tremendously warm and diligent, beyond thoughtful and accommodating, and truly & undeniably caring and proud of their work and what this night meant to my (now) husband and I. Not to mention, they all brought the same energy, enthusiasm, and heartfelt execution to our on-site after party as well!!

Olivia and her team are responsible for hosting the most magical and FUN night of our lives. The words “thank you” will never feel sufficient enough. James & I will never forget 3/16/24 at Dolce Liberta, and neither will our guests (whom ranted and raved about the happy hour spread, dinner selections, service, and atmosphere that night - and still are these days thereafter.) Olivia & the Dolce team have our deepest gratitude and guest-loyalty for life. All our love, The Martin’s. ♥🌿✨

Back in NJ for 2 months from Florida and wanted to give this new restaurant a try. First of all the ambiance was great! What a beautiful restaurant! Modern with a cozy feel. Second, the food was amazing, the best fried calamari I ever had, awesome homemade soup and the best chicken saltimbocca! Third, excellent service. We'll be coming in at least once a week while we're here till we get back to the Florida food dead zone

Let me tell you- this place is GOLD!!! I had a reservation for 25 people for my 40th birthday and after a small hiccup, the owner OLIVIA was amazing!!!! She got us all seated and did everything she could to make sure we all had an INCREDIBLE night!!! The food is PHENOMENAL and half of us have already eaten the left overs for breakfast, it’s THAT good! Each dish was just as good as the next that came out! The atmosphere is also super cute and we cannot wait to go back!!! I highly recommend Dolce Liberta!

This was our second time here, and we already can’t wait to go back again. Olivia is excellent. The atmosphere is very cozy yet modern. The food is phenomenal!!! The portions are big. Both times we needed boxes but saved room for tiramisu and espresso.

This was our first visit here, but definitely wont be our last. Warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was exceptional as was the food. Large portions (I had my leftovers for lunch the next day). Everybody loved the dinner and the desert was also exceptional.

I do not often write restaurant reviews, however, this place really deserves it! I have yet to find really good Italian Food around here. I am from New York and I LOVE to cook ... and I am Italian... so I am used to my Italian food a certain "way". Well, let me tell you- I was super impressed! The two for $38.99 was an amazing deal, with an appetizer, two entrees, soup or salad , and dessert included. There were some up charges for certain things if you wanted to add, which we did!:) First, the bread came out HOT- which I can never understand why all restaurants don't do that! That's always my first impression 😝 Second, the mussels in red sauce were fresh, perfectly cooked, plenty for two people, and the sauce was fresh and delicious! Then onto the soup and salad; Husband got the cream of mushroom soup, which tasted homemade and not overly salty and I got the salad with the house dressing; which was again- on point! For our meals , I got the risotto and added shrimp which was more $$ but a MUST!! It was quite a "saucy" risotto -- but Soooooo good. The shrimp were large and perfectly cooked! My husband got the chicken parm with vodka sauce... and it was actually a pink vodka sauce! Often times I am unimpressed with what some places call vodka sauce😉 The chicken was also so tender and delicious! We ordered a side of meatballs just to try, and although they were pretty good I prob wouldn't order again because there was too much food and not necessary for us. There were 3 choices for dessert ( I don't think from their regular dessert menu) so we tried the cannoli and lemon meringue pie. They were fine... nothing OUTSTANDING but if you even have room for dessert then they will be just fine:)
But I came for the Italian dinners... and the flavors and portions were fantastic! Will 💯 be back!! ( Hopefully soon) Would love to try the regular full dinner menu too.... but the special had many entrees to choose from so we wanted to give it a try before we went all in!
The service was also excellent too... we made a reservation and were seated promptly and served with smiles:):) 👍👍👍 lovely people!!

WOW! We had our wedding here! What a magical evening. Words can't express the level of service, attentiveness, diligence, respect, kindness...and quality of food my wife and I had the pleasure of experiencing on our big day!

Let me tell you- as the groom, what a relief it was to watch Olivia and my wife excitedly discuss the decor for our big day. Olivia was on point from the start, guiding us through a process we were learning as we went. The tasting we did before the wedding was amazing. We felt like royalty!

I really could keep going, as no detail was left behind in the experience we had that day. I'm completely impressed with the staff that served us and our guests. This is in addition to the overwhelming amount of positive comments we got about the venue and experience, which are still coming in as we speak. With Brody and co. greeting our guests at the front, the VIP experience was in full effect.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! Thanks again!!- Mr. and Mrs. Martin

Delicious food and an attentive waiter that made sure our food was perfect. Any questions or concerns we had were quickly and effectively addressed. We will definitely be coming back.

I highly recommend Dolce Liberta! We have been there many times with just our family and it is always good. Last night we went for my father in laws birthday with 16 people. They were so accommodating and everything was amazing!

My family came here for my moms birthday. Our waiters were awesome and Michelle always made sure we had everything we needed. She was amazing! The mussels appetizer was delicious .I wish I got a photo . I got the chicken saltimboca and the flavor and portion were perfect . Love that it is a byob restaurant and the decor is very nice . Definitely would go back .

Food was fantastic. They gave me the most crunchiest crispiest chicken wings I’ve ever had, veal special was out of this world. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes. Everything is made fresh to order, and it’s nice to not feel rushed. My family and I will definitely be back.

Excellent food and service. The 2 for $38.99 deal during the week is something you can't pass up on.

Understandably, the restaurant was understaffed due to everyone heading home for college. Our young bus boy was having trouble handling the stress other tables were giving him. We tipped him $20. Hard to find young, hardworking teenagers anymore!

We have been going to DL since they opened a year ago and the food never disappoints! The fried calamari appetizer is hands down the best we have ever had anywhere ever! Olivia and her crew are hard working and pleasant, we always have an experience that exceeds our expectations. The restaurant is always decorated for the holidays and while it is not fancy it is very comfortable, welcoming And clean! We always try the specials but we also really enjoy the regular Menu. The catering is delicious too! Strongly recommend making a reservation.

GLUTEN FREE MENU IS INCREDIBLE! More than half of the menu can be altered to be gluten free. Absolutely delicious. It’s so difficult to find gluten free Italian food, but these guys nailed it. Can’t wait to go back again!!

This place is awesome! I went on Thursday, and they have a deal where two people get an appetizer, soup/salad, entree, and cannoli for only $40 (plus the warm, fresh bread they give you!). Such a deal! The food was awesome, and there was live music as well. I loved the atmosphere. It’s BYOB, so make sure you bring your favorite bottle of wine. Cheers!

The food was absolutely spectacular. I cannot say enough on how delicious everything was.

Great food, pricing, service, and atmosphere. BYOB. Love it!

Love this place!!! Food is always top notch, s the wait staff are always friendly and attentive.

Came for dinner, enjoyed the special (two dinners, shared appetizer, soup or salad, and dessert). Great price, food was delicious. Waitress was very nice. Food took a while to come out but the place was busy and makes sense. Highly recommend

We had a private party here to celebrate my dad’s 90th birthday! Everything from the food to the space was perfect. A special shout out to TJ who took care of us the entire time and made sure everything ran smoothly. He went above and beyond!
