I first encountered this place years ago when I owned investment property in St. Joe. I discovered it had fabulous steaks, great drinks and excellent service at really good prices. Thier Steaks were actually better then Kansas City Steak Houses. Over the years I have gone out of my way, while visting Kansas City from my home in Minnespolis, to St. Joe numerous times just to feast on a big Porterhouse, at La Dolce Vita. I have never been disappointed. I am proud to write the first review on this first rate dining establishment. I highly recommened this well kept secret to anyone who is looking for a great Steak and/or a meal when your in the St. Joe/Kansas City Area.
