Dolce Niente Ristorante Italiano

Dolce Niente is a little hidden gem on the north side of Houston. The food, service, hospitality and vibe is 10/10. Dailyn was our server and he was fantastic. There to help us navigate the menu, explain the dishes and was there to talk about history on dishes. Jenny was a fantastic bartender who was a fantastic mixologist. Mervin needs a shout out too! He was great. Fabian the chef even came by our table. You can tell from the first bite that the ingredients they use for every dish is the highest quality. Pizza and flat bread were delicious. Marinara taste fresh like it was make from a grandmother in Italy. Pepperoni were top tier quality. Not the garage at most restaurants that are thin and cheap. Both the bolognese w/ meatballs added and the chicken piccata was absolutely amazing. Trick is to ask them to chop up the chicken on the piccata. The fettuccine Alfredo we had also was made the traditional way. Served on a hot plate and then mix together. Lastly we had the 40oz porterhouse. It was perfectly cooked. Medium rare of course. For desserts we had the crème brulee, cheesecake and the strawberry shortcake cake. Overall a fantastic experience and highly recommend anyone t

The service is great, but specifically the Fettuccine Alfredo leaves much to be desired. A typical Alfredo is thick, creamy, and flavorful. The Alfredo from here is thin, oily, and just tastes like buttered noodles with a little bit of parmesan. Additionally, for the serving size for a Chicken Alfredo is not worth the price -- especially given that it tastes so bland. The picture included shows the pooled oil from the "sauce" in the corner of my takeout container. Also -- what restaurant doesn't provide a drink carrier with takeout orders? The total order came out to just over $100 and I couldnt even get plastic silverware or something to carry my drinks in.

Great tasting authentic fresh Italian dishes. FRESH is the key word. Everything made fresh daily! Loved the atmosphere and live music. Our waiter (and others) were so helpful, kind and attentive. The owner, Mac, came to our table and made us feel very welcomed. We will be back! We have already made reservations for Valentines. Great place!

This as close to authentic Italian that I have eaten in TX. The food came out quickly and the portions are generous. Good happy hour specials on drinks. They have a large patio that seems to have both evaporative coolers and heaters, along with the wind blocking vinyl. Prices are little steep on certain things (steak and ‘adding meat’ to pasta). Servers were friendly and attentive. Only thing they can improve on is I have never eaten at an Italian restaurant that does provide bread and butter. Should at least do that for the dinner crowd. They don’t lose a star, we also cannot give 4.5 stars though.
