Alissa Wilkinson New York Times It’s a glossy fairy tale about Americans having lighthearted adventures in Europe, getting into scrapes and falling in love and charming the pants off all the locals. Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Marya E. Gates RogerEbert.com Ultimately, “La Dolce Villa” is about as authentic an Italian experience as a night at the Olive Garden. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Kristen Maldonado Pop Culture Planet The European adventure has a sweet and charming Hallmark-style energy that you can’t help but fall in love with. By the end, you’ll be ready to book your own Italian vacation. Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Callie Hanna FandomWire Anyone expecting anything groundbreaking or subversive from La Dolce Villa should remind themselves that this is a straight-to-streaming romantic comedy wherein the biggest name in the cast is the guy from Scandal and Scream 3. Rated: 6/10 Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media Despite following a now-established Netflix formula, this film still holds a few discreet attempts to diverge in the way it develops its characters and their relationships. Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Jen Maravegias Pajiba La Dolce Villa is a not unpleasant way to spend an hour and a half with Scott Foley and dreaming about living in an Italian villa. It’s no Merry Gentlemen, but it will keep you company while you cook up a nice pasta e fagoli. Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Sue S Another likeable but predictable rom-com. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review Ricky K As an older male, I tend to shy away from romcoms But I enjoyed the father/daughter parallel, storyline set in an Italy. The exteriors were expansive and colorful and added romance to the story. The screenplay by Elizabeth Hackett and Hilary Galanoy has several plot twists, and creative secondary character development. Composer Caroline Ho wrote a delightful theme for the opening credits nicely setting up the theme and mood of the film. And continued to enhance the development of story throughout the film. Overall, a well done addition that will appeal to a wide range of ages. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Aarnav J It’s a classic romance story done in a modern way and also portrays the ups and downs of father, daughter, relationship, and the Locations were stunning Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/28/25 Full Review Angela P It’s a decent romantic comedy. Entirely predictable, but thats ok - you know what you’re going to get from the title! Nice story line, great scenery, food, wine, villas in beautiful Italian countryside, mature couple who find love in an ‘unexpected’ setting… likeable characters. Grab a wine and some cheese and just pretend… Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Ky C I could have guessed the ending. Very typical storyline. Interesting character interaction. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Karen F Good airplane watch Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Read all reviews
