Godi La Vita melted cheese-wheel pasta has become a legend in Adelaide. Three different cheese are matched with different past and cooked in front of your eyes by chef Federico. The modern italian cuisine at Godi La Vita is an experience you need to try to recommend to your friends. Other great dishes are the one kg Deep Pan Pizza which is thick and loaded with ingredients, perfect for sharing the pizza-love with your friends. House made gnocchi are the softest potato pillows that will melt in your mouth, but before you start your meal you have to try our famous cheesy garlic bread, and to finish home made desserts as tiramisu semifreddo or chocolate tortino.

the cheese wheel description is a bit misleading as it is a very cheesy plate of pasta not an actual cheese wheel, that said the food was pretty good and very tasty. price is a bit higher than many restaraunts but worth it so dont let that stop you. Service was a bid off with one server not really knowing much about a dish we cc asked about. Overall We Will be back.

I felt we were forgotten often with services as we were placed on a counter top. Many times where we had to wave someone down to order more drinks or food. The waiters/ waitress kept walking past and didnt even look at us. We had to get other customers to wave them down for us. I was fine sitting there but sadly disappointed with services

Our food was fantastic. Unfortunately we were seated up against the open kitchen and one guest was sat basically under the heat lamps. It was unbearably hot and we had to leave early for dessert elsewhere as we were so uncomfortable.
