Savor 'the sweet life'

Set up in 2003, La Dolce Vita (甜蜜生活意大利餐厅) is the fusion of two Chinese students studying in Italy, and an Italian master chef. Over the years it has been favored by expats in Beijing. Business has been affected by the global economic crisis, but the eatery remains a comfortable place to dine on some delicious and authentic Italian cuisine.

Chef Piero Colucci has been introducing new foodstuffs and trying to attract more customers with healthy, nutritious food, while remaining authentically Italian.

Two such dishes are pasta with flatfish and pumpkin (大比目鱼南瓜意粉), and beef cappacio with mushroom sauce. All dishes are prepared with high quality olive oil (切片小牛肉配汁).
