Lavista Italian restaurant

Been looking for a good Italian restaurant and they were GREAT, definitely get your money’s worth food was awesome definitely will be back

Rude staff

Oh my. First time for me. My only location for pizza now. I can not explain how delicious it was, the pizza crust oh, so good. If the crust is good nothing else can go wrong. The vegetables and cheese exquisite 👌 😋 😍. Such a lovely place can't wait to have dinner there.

The person had me laughing and confused but he was great all around nice guy

I never write reviews, but leaving this restaurant left me with such a bad/annoyed feeling. I work DoorDash and was picking up an order from here. The older man working there was very rude & scolded me unnecessarily (just like the other reviews are saying).

I just don’t understand: how many people need to tell you that you are rude/mean & leave people unsettled before you finally take a look at yourself in the mirror and try to make a change? (And if not for the sake of others, at least do it for the sake of your business).

I really hope that this guy learns how to interact with people. But, I know that because of him, I will never order food from here OR accept any delivery orders that come from this location.

I am Asian and I don't speak English very well. The owner ignored me, yelled at me and was clearly racist. It was a nightmare experience.

Must have came in at the wrong time
As I got a very rude experience picking up a food order.

Seems like a similar trend to other door dasher.

Recommend that the person to drink some ice cold water and relax a little bit.

It is one of the best pizzas I have ever had highly recommend

The lady who helpef us deserves five stars. I'm hesitant to complain, but unfortunately, the food receives only two stars. I ordered the chicken Alfredo, and I was disappointed. I mostly avoided the chicken; the Alfredo sauce tasted jarred, not homemade, and the noodles seemed overcooked and past al dente. We ate because we were hungry.

I felt rather nauseous afterward.

I recently dined at La Vista Italian Restaurant in Spring Lake, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! Cassandra and Saad provided outstanding service, making us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout our meal.
The atmosphere at La Vista is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed dining experience. The menu offers a fantastic selection of authentic Italian dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. The Tour of Italy was a delightful combination of flavors, and the large pepperoni and sausage pizza was perfectly cooked with a delightful crust. To top it all off, the cheesecake was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal.
Cassandra was attentive and friendly, ensuring our glasses were always full and checking in on us regularly. Saad’s warm hospitality and genuine care for our dining experience made us feel like valued guests.
Overall, La Vista Italian Restaurant is a gem in Spring Lake. With its delicious food, welcoming ambiance, and top-notch service from Cassandra and Saad, it’s a place we will definitely return to. Highly recommended!

We've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally went today. We were greeted immediately upon entering and sat at a table. Wife got the baked ziti and I had the chicken parm with spaghetti. Both dishes were served hot and very delicious. The gentleman helping us was very nice and attentive. We look forward to trying other dishes from this establishment!

Firstly, food was absolutely amazing! I cannot fault this place for having great food. Our server, TEQUILA!🫶 was amazing and worked hard and nonstop from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. She not once sat down, got on her phone, or showed an ounce of frustration. She interacted with clients and made small talk where needed.
However, the manager or whoever he is, is an absolute jerk. He verbally berated her for roughly 10 minutes infront of a lobby full of clientele and had it to the point where she just stopped acknowledging him and walked away. After we got our ticket we were kinda stumped on how it was such a large ticket but when eating out that can tend to happen. We paid split, partial cash and the rest card. The lovely Ms.Tequila took it and went to the jerk face and asked for help and was promptly shooed off of the transaction. When I got the notification for the card transaction it was VERY wrong. Our table did the math, called our server over, and she addressed it with the man. $20 of our cash had disappeared in the midst of the transaction. How that much money suddenly wasn’t in the register but charged onto the card makes no sense. After our server apologized profusely for a mistake that was NOT HERS but was rather made under HER name, we explained to her that we were not upset with her at all. And come to find out, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened at this establishment.
So long story short, this place has good food and I would be willing to come back. However, Jerkface made the place so unappealing, we wont be back.

Been twice. It's the best Italian in the area that I know of. So far I've had the Alfredo, pizza, and a chicken Parm sub. If I had any complaints at all it would be the red sauce is slightly sweet. But it isn't bad at all... actually the opposite of bad just different. It's actually very refreshing to see people who are clearly actually cooking and not reheating stuff from buckets.

Italian food in this area is terrible. This place isn't terrible it's actually really worth the trip. Give them a shot you may be surprised.

Found this place by mistake. What a great mistake it was. The did is amazing. I had the for of Italy. It was so good. The marinara sauce was the best I've ever had personally. The Egyptian bread was so good with some marinara doing sauce. Anytime I come through here I'm stopping for another great meal
