La Dolce Vita

La Dolce Vita sits on Sunset Blvd in Corolla, a bar and restaurant listed under the Brewery & Bar category with a moderate ($$) price range. It's a straightforward stop for dinner and drinks in the northern Outer Banks, within reach of Corolla's historic district — the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, the Whalehead Club, and Currituck Heritage Park — as well as the shops and restaurants along the main corridor.

The bar is closed on Mondays and open the rest of the week, Tuesday through Sunday, for guests who want a sit-down meal or drinks at the bar. Call ahead or check the website for current hours, since exact opening and closing times can shift with the season.

Corolla is one of the northern beaches of the Outer Banks, with the paved road ending at the north end of town — Carova Beach and the other 4x4-only communities continue north along the open beach beyond that point. La Dolce Vita's Sunset Blvd address puts it well within the paved, drive-up part of town, so normal car access applies here.
