I'd give Dolce 3.5 stars (if it were possible).  I really like the location and the atmosphere is cozy.  I've never eaten at this location other than some hummus and pita chips.  Based on other reviews, I might increase my rating once I sample the fare.  As a wine bar, I'm always happy to stop in to get a glass of red and talk with friends.  At times, I haven't found the servers to be friendly or warm; however, I haven't had any particular problems.  It's just a vibe.  I also wish they would extend their wine list.  As another reviewer commented, there just isn't a lot to choose from.  If you're in the area, I'd definitely stop in, although I wouldn't drive into NoDa just for this venue.
