Plage La Dolce Vita

We ate at La Dolce Vita a couple of times and we where satisfied with most of our dishes. Don't forget to reserve sunchairs in advance, if you plan to use their beach.

We ate lunch there after having paid for the use of their sun beds. Lovely fried anchovies and salad. Staff very polite but not very smiley! Sun beds were great and clean!

This was the first lunch of our holiday. La Dolce Vita is a beachside restaurant and the setting, service and quality of our meals left us feeling totally relaxed and happy.

We ordered the caesar salad with shrimp and the pasta with seafood. Both were very good. The pasta had a delicious red sauce with squid, mussels, clams, and shrimp. The restaurant sits right on the beach and has a great view.

The service here was terrible. We ate lunchtime and after getting drinks and a menu, we then had to wait 30 minutes to order the food. Several tables had been served despite coming in after we had arrived. We nearly left but were told our food was only a few minutes away. When it ariived it was bland (pasta and moules frites) and only warm. We left most of the food and went as soon as possible.

Today we have been at Dolce Vita for the 500th time or was it the 1000th time?We come here since 1979.This restaurant is not a star- but a beach restaurant with a great ambiance and good italian food and wines at a reasonable price. Very friendly service and the best beach of Menton. Kind for children.If crowded on Sunday and ordering takes some time, simply lift your finger and they will help you with a smile.We really hope to come here many more times in the years to come.Grazie mille Claudio, Laura, Adolfo, Anna, Dani, Mattheo, Daniel, ect.

Under new management read only the reviews after August 2019. We visited by a happy accident, on a sailing trip, and bumped into the owners who used to run Zelo’s Beach Club in Beaulieu sur Mer. They have transported the simple and delicious menu, the welcoming attitude, professional service in the restaurant and on the private beach (you can dine on your sun lounger or in the beach bar restaurant). The vibe is also cool and relaxed, the music non intrusive. The beach is sandy and the views lovely. Perfect for families or couples. Stay an hour or all day. Highly recommended, just relax and enjoy it.

Our apartment was across the road so we came here a few days to the beach beds . Lovely beds and the palm trees provided even more shade . Dreadful service though . I went to the bar ( as no staff on beach) and ordered 2 gin and tonics . Went back after 30 minutes and the waitress looked away - I mean physically blanked me !!! I asked about the gin snd she did not reply . Unbelievable !! Some one else came along luckily who went to get me the gins , but they only had enough gin for 1. Losing the will to live at this stage . When we went back the next day , they still had no gin. What sort of a bar doesn't have gin or replace it when they run out?? It's such a pity as it's definitely a good l...

The Dolce Vita deserves special mention here in the pages of Trip Advisor, on account of it single handedly re calibrating my sense of of what constitutes good and bad service in a decade of regular visits to France. La Dolce Vita in Menton struck a new low, that I have every reason to believe will be hard to match.French waiters are of course known worldwide for being a surly and recalcitrant lot, especially where foreign tourists are concerned. For the most part they are undeserving of such a reputation, and are in fact friendly and helpful. Bearing this in mind though, I am always cordial, polite, and will always attempt in my most pigeon like French to ask for a table and make my order....
