Dolce Vita Ristorante Italiano brings authentic Italian cooking to the Coral Bay strip in Peyia, just a short stroll from the beach in the Paphos district. Set in a large, tastefully refurbished interior with a comfortable veranda, the restaurant pairs a modern yet homely feel with famously warm, attentive service. The kitchen focuses on freshly made handmade pasta, Italian-style pizzas, and seasonal seafood, alongside hearty meat dishes such as pork medallions and chicken in mushroom sauce.

Meals begin with warm bread and a selection of butters, and portions are generous, so groups often share. A curated list of Italian and local wines makes it easy to find a pairing, and staff are recognised for their knowledge of dietary needs, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available on request. Diners regularly praise standout plates like lobster and crab ravioli, grilled tuna and oyster starters.

Ideal for birthdays, romantic dinners or a relaxed holiday meal, Dolce Vita is open daily except Wednesday, 11:00 to 23:00. Reservations are advised in the evening.
