Amazing. One of my favorite meals I’ve had recently. Loved the ambiance, service was great and most importantly the food and wine were incredible. Highly recommend the Sangiovese wine by the glass, the tuna crudo, mortadella toast, and the squash sacchetti. 10/10!

Came for a lunch during the week. Service and atmosphere was great. The riggatoni was good until a little over halfway. The pasta noodles were ice cold. Clearly not reheated properly, the sauce didn't fully coat so maybe thats why but still disappointing for a $26 dish with no meat in it. Also a little odd since it was lunch time so not sure how old the noodles were.

We enjoyed an anniversary celebration and chose this place after seeing a flood of appraisals.
It did not disappoint. The service was friendly and well executed from the first greeting at the door until the last minute.
We started with the bread, which is not something that we usually order as we dont want to get filled quickly with carbs but this one was amazing and memorable.
The ricotta gnochi appeared to be a popular dish amongst the online reviewers. It was good, but I created higher expectations than it delivered. We shared it, but I think that eating the whole plate would get boring.
The fresh pasta was very good. The sauce was classic and confort food, but it lacks a touch of originality.

We had a lovely meal at Alla Vita. Great starter salads and the ravioli was divine . Slightly slipped with one entree, which was immediately dealt with by the amazing Nicolle Wildrick. She went above and beyond to rectify this small problem and ensured a return to this fine establishment. Any restaurant that cares that much deserves repeated patronage. Deserts were delicious and home made. A great meal overall!

Overhyped with average taste
We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this Italian restaurant! Everything—from the food to the atmosphere to the service—was truly exceptional. We brought our 7-year-old daughter with us, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate her picky eating habits. Not only did she feel completely comfortable, but she even explored the menu and ended up loving every dish she tried.
The flavors were authentic, the ambiance warm and inviting, and the service attentive without ever feeling rushed. It’s rare to find a place that delights both adults and kids, but this restaurant nailed it. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I had the most lovely experience celebrating my friend’s birthday. We had Joel as our server and he was so helpful and passionate about the food (we ended up loving his recommendations). I can’t wait to come back!

We were lucky to get a table for two without a reservation. We came in on Sunday right when they opened. The holiday atmosphere was beautiful, and the food was delicious. My favorites were the cacio e pepe ricotta dumplings and the kale Caesar salad.

Customer service 10/10 I had a table reservation but got sat at the bar while our table opened up and ended up staying at the bar because the customer service there was AMAZING!!! I never had my cup empty.
The rigatoni and lasagna Verdi were absolutely divine. The wood fired bread is a delightful starter topped with melted cheese and honey. Nicole was an attentive and knowledgeable server! We would give this restaurant 10 stars if we could!

Great experience overall. The service was fantastic and everyone made us feel like a top priority. We had an amazing server and the support staff was on it. Our water glasses never even dipped below half empty. Their house bread was great. The ricotta dumplings were out of this world. The music was fitting to the ambience of this place. Highly recommend to anyone.
Appetizers were exceptional (bluefin tuna crudo, burrata) Main course was good, but nothing crazy (prosciutto pizza, rigatoni) dessert was very good (tiramisu) Drink were very good (black lotus, one of the red wines)
