Zadar · It's all about Music!

Dolce Vita

A café by day, a bar by night. Same corner of Zadar for around 30 years — good drinks, great music (RnB, hip hop, funk, house, soul, afro house, tech house), the people you actually want to run into. In summer we open nights only. Off season we are here for mornings and nights.

Since the nineties

Thirty years on the same street

Dolce Vita has been part of Zadar for around 30 years. Generations of regulars have had their first espresso here, their last drink of the night here, and most of the conversations in between.

In summer we open nights only. Off season we are here for mornings and nights.
