A few weeks ago I took my Mom to La Dolce Vita in Detroit for brunch. I had been there once before with a girlfriend and loved it, so I thought it would be the perfect spot to take my Mom for her birthday celebration.

I love all things Italy, which is one of the reasons I love La Dolce Vita. For starters, it is a hidden gem in Detroit on 17546 Woodward. If you drove by the building on the street, you would have no idea it was there. It is only when you hit the gates that you can see its charm.

One of the best parts about La Dolce Vita is the brunch, which includes amazing food and unlimited mimosas! My mother loved the ambiance and we had a great time. This is one place that I would love to take my husband to on a weekend. It opens at 11 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, but the key is to get there early if you want to get a table outside.

I enjoyed the Quiche of the Day, which was rich and filling:

Since it was a birthday celebration, we splurged with a little dessert. I had the brownie, which also was made with peanut butter! It was so decadent and delicious!!

La Dolce Vita reminds me of being in Italy, when my husband and I were there I feel like every place we ate had that hidden gem feel. La Dolce Vita has such a relaxed atmosphere when you enter the gates, like time has stopped while you are there. I’m also a sucker for anyplace that has bottomless mimosas!

La Dolce Vita is a great place to bring out-of-town visitors or that special someone on a lazy weekend morning. For more information, check out their website here.

You can make a reservation at La Dolce Vita by calling (313)-865-0331 or through Open Table.
