Welcome to the new and improved Dolce Vita!

I was anxious to see how the newly renovated Dolce Vita turned out, so after a nice afternoon nap I ventured out into Itaewon.

In a word: Nice.

Much lighter, airier, and open.  And seperate men’s and women’s restrooms!

The redesign was a labor of love for YJ, and she really did a great job.

I hadn’t played darts for a couple of weeks, so I enticed Jim into throwing.  I was rusty, but threw ok.  Jim got the better of me though.  Still, it was good to be at the Dolce oche (elevated now) again.

I snapped a couple of photos, but must have been a little drunk because they are a tad blurry (I thought it was my eyes!).

The four boards are together along the “back” wall now.

And these windows are a major upgrade.

The pool table occupies the space where boards #1 and #2 used to be.  This arrangement keeps that darters and pool players out of each other’s way, which is good.

The new bar design.

Although the sqaure footage didn’t increase, the new setup creates a feeling of spaciousness.

The world in brick, a nice YJ touch.

So, I think the new Dolce Vita will prove to be very user friendly.

What else did I do on my first night back in Korea?  Went to Don Valley for a dinner of Korean goodness.

Samgyapsal to be exact.  Yum!

  1. The place looks awesome. Please tell Jim and YJ that I give my approval on the work that was done and I can’t wait to get back there to throw darts in the place that I spent so many druken fun hours. I am proud of my child (Dolce Vita).

  2. Ok John, Let me add my worthless 2 cents. Great photos. Great descriptions. Very, very good posts. I think most of your readers are sitting here on Friday night in the US wondering how the heck we can get to Bali. Oh, and I see that the North has not wiped out your web page….ha ha
