"Who?" you ask? Well, think "That '70s Show": Ashton Kutcher ('Kelso'), Wilmer Valderrama ('Fez') and Danny Masterson ('Hyde'), plus other stars such as comedian Jamie Kennedy, Danny's brother Chris Masterson ('Francis' in "Malcolm in the Middle"), Dulé Hill ('Charlie' on "The West Wing"), and Simon Rex ('Mikey' on "Jack & Jill"). But if you're expecting a retro '70s look to the restaurant, guess again.
It's a young crowd
here at Dolce, and a good-looking one - it can be hard to get in, as one
might expect from Hollywood's latest hot spot. (Don't forget to make reservations.)
The noise level is high, with waiters often shouting to be heard over the
din. At times, it seems more like a club than a restaurant. That's not
surprising, since the master planners for Dolce are former "Big Brother
2" contestant Mike "Boogie" Malin and former TV executive
Lonnie Moore, the duo responsible for the popular club "Belly".
They are obviously trying hard to be hip here, and so far they are succeeding. And as might also be expected, celebs are already showing up.
The food here is
not your typical "checkered tablecloth & red sauce"
Italian fare. For a trendy spot, it's better than it probably needs to
be and reasonably authentic. The word Dolce means "sweet", so what's for dessert? Tiramisu seems to be the most popular item, but there's also zabaglione with fruit, sorbets, and an unusual wild berry soup with vanilla gelato. Prices are moderate to high. Dolce is open daily from 6 p.m. to midnight, and offers valet parking. Flush with success
from Dolce, the '70s gang have also opened two other L.A. restaurants:
All three restaurants
have have been hits with the celebrity crowd.
