La Dolce Vita sur Metz

I've been twice so far and frankly, I really enjoyed everything: the setting, the atmosphere, the food, and the welcome/service. The second time was on Valentine's Day, and despite the crowds, I have nothing to complain about; we were very well served.

Excellent time today at this restaurant! We came without a reservation and received a very warm welcome. The menu is very comprehensive, with even some specials. We ordered two pizzas which were delicious, very, very good. Excellent value for money.

We wanted to try this Italian restaurant in Metz, and we finally did… As for the ambiance, while the wood-fired oven is clearly visible, the rest is quite traditional. It lacks a bit of warmth and a Mediterranean atmosphere… However, the food was excellent, with very little to complain about. The quality of the ingredients on the pizza was impressive; you could taste the fine Italian cured meats… the tomato pulp with its chunks of tomato… the lasagna was melt-in-your-mouth tender and generously filled… everything was simple yet effective for classic dishes we all know… Well, a little more tomato sauce and a proper pinch of fresh herbs rather than just a leaf would have been a nice touch. It was after that that I was a little disappointed… First, the service… I have a hard time when we're not served at the same time… the pizza was made immediately, the pasta arrived a little later… as if the pizza and kitchen staff didn't communicate with each other… Then, while our server was friendly, the atmosphere wasn't great… the staff weren't very smiley, and some of the waiters were on their phones as if they were bored… I admit that it somewhat spoiled the enjoyment of the food… As for the prices, they were a bit on the high end, but within the norm. In short, a good place from a culinary point of view, but I had this feeling of "not being very comfortable" with the staff...

A very nice establishment, the basement room is very charming, the food is very good, the service is pleasant and quick, the prices are reasonable, I recommend it and will return!

Delicious food and cozy ambient.

Friendly atmosphere and excellent pizza prepared right before your eyes, I recommend it.

A great Italian restaurant in Metz. The pasta is homemade and of excellent quality. The "Involtini" cordon bleu with homemade spaghetti is a real treat. The Neapolitan pizzas are also delicious.

Decent service, good food. A standard restaurant that does the job well. But nothing special.

I've been eating here for 20 years, and it's certainly changed. From the memories of Mario to today, with Morgan at the helm, I remain a loyal customer and keep up with the trends. Things evolve, and I still love coming here and finding myself completely transported, both by the atmosphere and the food. A Metz institution true to its values.

Excellent homemade pasta and pizza. Friendly service. Highly recommended.
