A corner of Italy has found its home in the heart of La Marina de Casa de Campo. Since December 8, 2023, the Dolce Italia restaurant has been delighting gastronomy enthusiasts with a unique experience, merging Italian tradition with the artisanal dedication of its founder, Liberato De Simone.
The story of Dolce Italia begins in Castellammare di Stabia, Italy, where Liberato started his journey as a pizza maker at the impressive age of 12. After decades of learning and experiences, in 1995, he opened his first gastronomic pizzeria, “El Merendero.” Success was swift, leading to international expansion.
In 2010, he arrived in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and has continued his successful journey with branches in places like Katmandu Park, Plaza Turquesa, Bávaro, Fishing Lodge in Cap Cana, and his most recent opening in La Marina de Casa de Campo, in 2023.
Dolce Italia stands out as the only restaurant currently offering breakfast in La Marina, providing customers with Italian, American, and Creole options starting from 7:45 in the morning. The variety of iconic breakfast products includes croissants, chocolate bread, sfogliatina, omelets, among others.
Among other popular specialties they offer are pizzas, a wide variety of artisanal pastries and bakery items. Also, artisanal desserts.
Authenticity in Every Bite
The pursuit of authenticity and quality at Dolce Italia is reflected in the careful selection of ingredients imported directly from Italy. This ensures that each dish offers the characteristic flavor of Italian cuisine, allowing customers to immerse themselves in a genuine culinary experience.
A notable example is the mozzarella heart of milk and burrata used in the making of their pizzas, sourced from their latest initiative known as “Naturlatte.” This dairy factory, using 100% Italian milk, not only adds a special touch to the dishes but also promotes the rich Italian dairy culture in the Dominican Republic.
For Casa de Campo residents who want to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in the comfort of their homes, Dolce Italia offers free home delivery service. Just call the number 809-658-6532 and immerse yourself in a unique culinary experience.
