    This was my second time visiting Alla Vita and it did not disappoint! First time coming for lunch and was surprised by how busy it was. But it only added to the experience!

    The service and the cocktails and wine were very good. That is the best I can say. All the food was mediocre to not good. Everything was over salted and over garliced, so it all just tasted like Salted Garlic. Crazy loud - my throat hurts from trying to talk to our guests. Very expensive for the quality. I won't bore with any more details - but we will not rush back.

    Everything was amazing! Came for my boyfriend’s bday and they customized the menus, gave us an amazing birthday cake gelato dessert, and great service. Sausage pizza and the arancinis are top tier!
