		<description>Okay, I wanted to weigh in on all these comments. I went to Dolce Sapori on Jan 16, 2010 with three others in my party. We had 5 dishes in total: the arancini appetizer (rice balls stuffed with cheese and coated in breadcrumbs), the caprese salad (tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and herbs), the ravioli stuffed with butternut squash, the veal chop, and the chicken wrapped in pancetta and stuffed with fig. Our total bill came to $130 plus tip (there was only one beer added to the tab). 

First, I would not say this is overly cheap. Second, yes most dishes are large, but unless you just want to eat a plate of meat, you will probably want to order another dish between 2 people. The ravioi was much smaller than I expected considering the price and what we got for the appetizers (there were 5 pieces in total for $25). On the upside, the appetizer and salad was fabulous and were generous portions. The veal chop was difficult to share between four people because it was on a bone - we each got one bite. 

Overall, it&#039;s a great concept, beautiful atmosphere, and they do a good job of appetizers. Not all dishes have equivalent portions, so it takes some trial and error. Will I go back? Probably not, as the quality just wasn&#039;t what I&#039;d expect for the equivalent price at another restaurant like Da Guido&#039;s, which is still my favorite Italian restaurant in Calgary. 

Oh, and on a side note, make reservations well in advance as it&#039;s currently only open on Friday and Saturday nights!</description>

		<description>Katherine and I were left a bit confused by the place, though we didn&#039;t stray much from the pasta.  At $16-$18 per pasta, they are charging less for a two person meal than quality italian restaurants charge for one person.  I struggle with the economics of a place that could conceivably have two people fed for under $30.</description>

		<description>Vlad: Good question. I revised my post to include more indication of portion sizes. The spaghetti came in a big serving bowl, and is definitely enough for two people or more.</description>

		<description>How big is the plate of spaghetti with tomato sauce that costs $17? That seemed crazy to me, but if 2 people can more or less share one bowl that becomes a bit more reasonable.</description>

		<description>Vlad: Pizzas are very subjective and I would never argue with you. ;-) ... As for prices, I went with eight people and we were all full with two salads, a bruschetta, two pastas, and two main meat dishes. With a bottle of wine, and a few cocktails, the total tab actually came out to about $35 for each of us, and that&#039;s including the 18% automatic gratuity for the large table. Remember, the platters are for sharing and aren&#039;t so much priced as a main entree for one person.</description>

		<description>Sounds like a nice place for a date, but yeesh, those prices! At least there is something special about the Pizzas that you can&#039;t replicate at home (I like the pizzas but I don&#039;t want to argue with you because you might ruin them for me! It&#039;s voodoo I say!).</description>

		<description>Huh!
And I thought we are in for a special dessert place, judging by the pre opening advertising.</description>
