La Dolce Vita is the star of Corolla and a favorite for Outer Banks locals and visitors alike because it’s consistent - they always deliver an outstanding meal with great service in an elegant-but-comfortable setting. The food competes with big city dining and their staff will always take excellent care of you during your visit. It’s clear that the chef and team have put a lot of love and thought into creating a pleasing menu and atmosphere for their guests. The Seafood Diablo has my heart forever, but I also really appreciate the lighter options like the Shrimp á la Firenze (GLUTEN FREE PASTA on the Outer Banks!!!?). They offer an impressive wine list, nightly specials and house-made desserts that are not to be skipped. Appealing to so many during one intensely busy season after another is not easy, but Dolce Vita’s hard work and genuine care makes them a success.
