Dolce V Cucina Italiana Brings Authentic Flavors to Woodhaven |
New Italian Restaurant Opens Its Doors with Familiar Faces and Time-Honored Recipes |
Woodhaven's culinary scene is set to be enriched with the grand opening of Dolce V Cucina Italiana on October 16.
This new establishment is spearheaded by Vince Cangialosi, a name well-known among Downriver diners.
Vince, alongside his sons Luca and Noah, aims to deliver an authentic Italian dining experience.
The Cangialosi family has a rich history in the restaurant industry, having previously operated the beloved Dolce Vita Ristorante in Riverview and the Dolce Vita Grill in Monroe.
After a stint running restaurants in Florida, they have returned to Michigan to share their passion for Italian cuisine.
Vince emphasizes the commitment to quality, stating, "Everything will be made fresh, in-house."
He adds, "My espresso comes from Italy, and my extra-virgin olive oil comes from a town I grew up in Sicily."
Diners can look forward to a menu that pays homage to traditional dishes once served at La Dolce Vita Ristorante.
Expect a variety of chicken, pasta, and seafood options, along with new additions like rice balls (arancini).
The restaurant's location at 16075 West Road has undergone a complete transformation.
Once a Blockbuster video store, the space now boasts warm tones, soft lighting, and a backlit granite countertop bar with seating for about a dozen patrons.
The dining area features high ceilings, exposed ventilation, and a mix of table and booth seating.
Additionally, there's a wine room designed for private dining and an open kitchen that allows guests to observe the culinary process.
With a total seating capacity of approximately 75, Dolce V Cucina Italiana will be open for dinner from Tuesday to Saturday, starting at 5 p.m.
The grand opening is scheduled for October 16, inviting the community to experience a taste of Italy right in Woodhaven.
For those eager to indulge in authentic Italian flavors, Dolce V Cucina Italiana promises a dining experience rooted in tradition and family heritage.
As Vince Cangialosi and his family return to their Michigan roots, they bring with them a legacy of culinary excellence that Downriver diners are sure to appreciate. |
