Caffe Dolce Vita seduces stomachs with a [menu](http://gr.pn/v7J7t7) of contemporary Italian pastas, paninis, breakfast dishes, and gelato. Seated in sage, leather booths, curvaceous wooden chairs, or atop skyscrapers, diners delve into the lists of dishes that comprise owner Gianfranco Marrocco's culinary oeuvre, including fluffy lemon-and-poppy-seed pancakes, topped with homemade raspberry butter ($6.95) and cannoli-cream-stuffed french toast ($10.95). Twenty varieties of pasta ($5.95–$15.95) wrap deftly around forks, and cold and grilled sandwiches ($7.95–$12.95) help silence hunger pangs. Entrees filled with chicken, veal, and seafood round out the menu, including the salmone alla griglia, grilled salmon topped with red and yellow peppers, scallions, capers, and olive oil ($16.95). No piquant meal is complete without a sweet finale, a requirement fulfilled by Caffe Dolce Vita's selection of indulgent baked desserts, imported gelatos ($3.95+), and romantic poetry read aloud by Luciano Pavarotti. Inside Caffe Dolce Vita, warm ochre, copper, and bronze tones and pink lighting surround golden, glass walls and a black, marble bar—fully stocked with cocktails and wines with which to wash down meals. On Friday, the restaurant stays open until 1 a.m., which means revelers can spend much of the evening painting a painstakingly accurate still-life of their marinara sauce.
