Such a cute place. Great value and delicious local ingredients. The mushrooms were amazing. It was our anniversary and they were so welcoming. Great price point! Loved our night there. Will go in the summer and try the deck.

Amazing food, wonderful service, and truly dog-friendly! La Vita E’ Bella is an absolute gem. The food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love.

Great place! The food is good and reasonably priced. It could be a bit cleaner but we were there during a busy time.

We went on Christmas day (5:00) and the entire experience was mediocre, and I am being generous. The service was abysmal, but the server knew it and was very apologetic. She took our order, and we never saw her again until we had to ask someone for the bill. We also sat with empty plates and glasses for a long, long time. I finally flagged down someone for some water. Again, the server was very kind, and said they had problems with their ordering system, but that's not the main reason for the review. The food just wasn't good at all. One member of our party had ravioli. She was disappointed with the portion and quality. She commented that it tasted store bought. Another member had the penne pesto. This was basically the only vegetarian option. She said it was fine. I had the chicken piccata. The chicken was so tough that I basically had to saw it in order to have a bite. I also bit into some weird bits. It wasn't good at all. We did have bruschetta, and it was okay. Ironically, the host when seating us said we could only stay at our table for 80 minutes. It took 20 to even order and 30 plus waiting for anyone to stop by and give us our check. I won't go again.

Had a reservation for 5:00pm we arrived 15 minutes late. We were not greeted upon arrival and had to ask the bartender if there was a host available. After about 20 minutes of waiting a host finally got us checked in. We were seated in a back corner given water and a basket of bread. We waited an additional 20 minutes for a waiter to take our order. Ultimately we decided to just leave the restaurant

Best Espresso martini we've ever had. Food was absolutely delicious and service was fantastic. Thank you!

Food was delicious! The Owner was amazing and super kind and helpful, but service from the wait staff felt a little rushed. Wanted to enjoy more of a slow meal, but felt rushed. Also the menu wine price on OpenTable is inaccurate, as the price for a bottle of wine was minimum $46. Otherwise, phenomenal pasta, highly recommend the lasagna

I have been to Seattle twice this year and both times ended up here. Its delicious food and a great atmosphere. The carbonara is amazing and so is the mushroom ravioli.

The most amazing Italian food! The truffle pasta is a must

Mich (Michy)

Exceptional food IMO. The pesto pasta has fagioli beans listed. People get upset that its green beans l. It doesnt quite go with but it isnt bad for any reason and the pesto sauce they make is incredible.
I had the Quattro Carne Pizza and it was so good.
Service was a touch slow but I think there was only 2 servers at the time for the entire restaurant on Sunday night.
Slightly vintage, beautiful lights, colorful throws off the italian vibe but it works for an international type vibe
