Downstairs, the double-sided wine bar is one of the hottest see-and-be-seen spots in the Montrose area. Upstairs, a funky maze of dining rooms offers lots of quiet tables. Docle Vita's menu features pastas, antipasti, more than a dozen pizzas and a list of nightly specials. This is a smart, fun place to eat affordable Italian food in Houston.
Some restaurants just couldn't wait for the Mayan apocalypse on December 21, 2012, and decided to implode all on their own, while other restaurants simply expired of old age and waning interest in a c... More »
My esteemed colleague Jeremy Parzen recently wrote an article decrying truffle oil as "evil" and as something akin to farts. Farts? Really? If truffle oil were really all that bad, it wouldn't contin... More »
It's been a busy week, so straight to the dish: Cuchara, the Montrose restaurant at the corner of Taft and Fairview that's been under construction since February, is set to have its soft opening this ... More »
Dolce Vita Pizzeria & Enoteca is owned by Marco Wiles, the chef-owner of Houston's best Italian restaurant, Da Marco. Wiles says that Dolce Vita is a tribute to authentic Italian pizzerias. Heating up a brick oven takes a long time, which is why the great pizzerias in Italy are only open in the evening. Dolce Vita is following their lead, so forget about grabbing a pizza for lunch. While the 12 pizzas are by far the most popular items on the menu, the unusual antipasti items are worth sampling. Come early for the two-floor happy hour scene. Downstairs, the double-sided wine bar and the row of tables overlooking the pizza oven are one of the hottest see-and-be-seen spots in the city for the black-T-shirt-and-blue-jeans set. Upstairs, a funky maze of dining rooms with parquet floors and faux wood-grain painted walls offers lots of quiet corners for intimate conversation.
Delicious gourmet pizzas made with fresh ingredients-The Butternut Squash Pizza is amazing!
I can't resist the Gorgonzola cheese with honey. Sounds strange but is great. Have it with the Arugula salad and pizza bread. With all the inexpensive side dishes it is like Itallian Tapas. Great wine selection. Generous with the taste. I always sit at the bar and the staff there is great. Daily specials are always great. Mr. Wiles has a great place here.

The pies at Dolce Vita are a thing of beauty: The toppings are unusual, generous and full of flavor, and the superb quality of the meats, cheeses and produce makes it hard to go wrong. Sauce is used sparingly, and the crust is thin and crispy and a little chewy -- a wood-burning oven makes all the difference here. Some combinations, such as the Taleggio, arugula, pear and truffle oil, are so memorable that we sometimes discuss them at length with total strangers. The margherita pizza,... More »
