La Vie

I had a very disappointing experience. I ordered one pizza with mushrooms and ended up waiting 50 minutes. When I asked about my order, the staff member didn’t even look at me and simply said, “checking right now.” Moments later, the pizza finally appeared, but to my surprise, the crust edges were still raw. Because my flight was about to depart, I just ate the center and left. I do not recommend this place at all.

I ordered a side of spinach and a side of broccolini, both dishes were outstanding!!!
Perfectly sautéed (not over done) and extremely tasty!
Not to mention the generous portions!
Stellar service too!!!

The waiter was kind to everyone, total angel.

Also, side note, I notice folks pay more for the fast food in the food court, which is insane (especially when this restaurant is feet away, right by the entrance in terminal 5!)

what a horrible place! 20 minutes for one food and the male waiter's attitude was horrible!

PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME!!!

Well priced, mushroom pizza is delicious and the rigatonni bolognese pasta was on point. Our server although was busy he was very attentive and delivered excellent service. Great spot to grab a bite while waiting for your flight.

I enjoyed my breakfast and coffee here amid a dearth of decent dining options in JFK terminal five. My waiter, Riyad, provided excellent service and really brightened my day!

The moment my boyfriend and I sat down to order, the guy was being nice and dropped us off some water, once we let him know we wanted to order to go gave us attitude and told us we needed to go to the main restaurant, then took the glasses of water with him.

Service was great. The Carbonara was delicious and was priced incredibly modest for an airport joint. Pretty large portion too.

Food is horrible and overpriced. Dont do it. Go somewhere else like Dunkin Donuts or something.

Ordered the chicken milanese and bolognese and they both were just meh. It wasn’t bad, but the flavors lacked and it didn’t seem that fresh. Vwry expensive, but not surprising for JFK in NYC.

Tonight my husband and I dined with Ken as our bartender. We sat at the bar and had great service! We come through JFK quite a bit, and we will specifically be back to have Ken as our bartender. He has great people skills and he works hard and is proactive and on top of any needs!

Thanks so much Ken! We will see you soon!

Courtney at the bar is the best. Super friendly and unmatched service especially for an airport. She ran and held the boarding door for a customer. Food was decent as well

We had a few hours to fill and needed some food/drinks. Looked at all the nearby options and decided to try La Vie. Great food recommendations and conversation with Ken the bartender. We will definitely stop by the next time we are at JFK!

Great and (relatively) affordable spot to grab food for two. Ordered the margherita pizza and cheese bread to share. Plenty of food to share as a meal. Compared to other spots in the terminal, it was a great deal. Service was quick and friendly, despite there only being one guy for everyone in the restaurant.
