Dolce Vita — a family-owned and operated Italian restaurant, gelato shop and grocer at 5251 E. Brown Road No. 104 in Mesa — is hosting a special Sicilian night dinner 4-8 p.m. Friday, April 28. The business has been serving authentic Italian food using only fresh and local ingredients without additives for more than 12 years.

Dolce Vita has also provided homemade gelato crafted daily, along with Italian imported meats, cheeses and pantry staples. The special dinner is priced at $60 per person, or $50 per person if you opt out of the wine. The three-course meal starts off with insalata vastasa with potatoes, onions, and tomatoes.
