La Dolce Vita Ristorante
24 July 2008
If you are looking for charm, atmosphere, and outstanding food, head to La Dolce Vita Ristorante in the Heritage Square section of Oxnard, California. Oxnard is located 60 miles north of Los Angeles and provides crashing waves on the beach, plenty of fresh market produce and sunshine. The restaurant offers fantastic Mediterranean fusion cuisine including Grilled Vegetable Ravioli, Seafood Risotto, and Linguine a la Bolognese. Italian Pot Roast and Gorgonzola stuffed pork loin also make an appearance. All if these are partnered with excellent wines. The building is located in Oxnard’s Heritage Square, an area of town committed to preserving the historical and architectural uniqueness of turn-of-the-century Oxnard. The restaurant was originally built in 1901 and still has the original drawstring windows. The main floor serves as a restaurant. Upstairs provides a setting for larger groups with areas for dining, dancing, and a buffet. The lower level cocktail lounge has cozy leather couches surrounding a fireplace near a stage for entertainment and a large TV for sporting events. The outdoor patio provides a great place to enjoy the weather. Saturday night concerts in the Square keep the place hopping. Owner and Executive Chef Michelle Kenney recently released a cookbook called “La Dolce Vita – Recipes for Living the Sweet Life.” She also provides cooking classes. Go and enjoy a depth of flavors and experiences!
