Alla Vita was real class, amazing food and great vibes wrapped up in one. Their meatballs, rigatoni, table bread and ricotta dumplings are worth all the hype and more. 10 out of 10

“The rigatoni and lasagna Verdi were absolutely divine.”

The rigatoni and lasagna Verdi were absolutely divine. The wood fired bread is a delightful starter topped with melted cheese and honey. Nicole was an attentive and knowledgeable server! We would give this restaurant 10 stars if we could!

“We came on a Monday and made reservations in advanced to sit outside.”

We came on a Monday and made reservations in advanced to sit outside. In the warmer months, they have a cute patio. When that patio is closed, you still get to enjoy a beautifully decorated and chic interior. We were sat quickly and we started off with the marinated olives, the arancini and a salad. The olives had a rosemary olive oil, and had a generous amount of olives in the platter. The arancini were small but they were dense, and melted in your mouth. The marinated pork inside was creamy and paired well with the aioli sauce they served alongside them. We got the alla vita chopped salad and boy, it was full of life! The ingredients were vibrant, and had a nice distribution among everything. For my entree I got the ricotta dumplings, and I would be lying if I didn’t say I initially was skeptical when I saw the portion size but quickly was reassured. These dumplings are dense and absolutely delicious. The cacio e pepe was like a pillow, doused in a warm buttery sauce and the creamy ricotta had me savoring every bite. My partner got the rigatoni vodka pasta and her dish was wonderful too. My biggest issue was we waited a bit to order, but the food came quickly after we had ordered. Our allergies were easily accommodated as well. What really makes this place special is the amount of love and care that gets put into their homemade pasta and dishes, and it is absolutely worth every penny.

“Arrived at 7:30pm for our reservation on a Monday with a group of 6 for one of our birthdays.”

Arrived at 7:30pm for our reservation on a Monday with a group of 6 for one of our birthdays. Seated, provided water, and placed our initial food order relatively quickly, ordering our mains shortly after. Everything we tried was delicious! Starters we had the Roasted Spanish octopus, bluefin tuna crudo, and wood fired meatballs; for mains we had the ricotta dumplings (x2), squash sacchetti, tortellini, rigatoni, paccheri, and a soppressata pizza. Would gladly order everything a second time, table favorites were the spare ribs, ricotta dumplings, and soppressata pizza! Ribs were super tender, dumplings were incredibly fluffy and light, and pizza was perfectly crispy! Possibly the best Italian pizza we’ve had in the city. For dessert we had the pumpkin ricotta cake (more like a pie), tiramisu, chocolate hazelnut fudge sundae, and the burthday cake ice cream they gave us. We think the tiramisu wins here, very light coffee flavor isn’t overpowering, all we’re good! The chocolate hazelnut is more like dark chocolate sea salt, if you don’t like salty don’t order this! They comp’d a couple desserts and the pizza as they made a mistake and prepared the wrong one initially, they were honest and up front about it though. It was definitely worth the wait! Highly recommend! We will all be back in the future!

This was the perfect place for a nice celebratory dinner among friends. Every dish was excellent, the service was very hospitable, and the ambience was outstanding. I particularly enjoyed my squash sacchetti and the truffle mushroom pizza. 🤌

“First time customers- from the time we walked in to the time we got the dessert menu.”

First time customers- from the time we walked in to the time we got the dessert menu. The service was absolutely exceptional. My husband and I had the espresso martini and the Bicycle thief. As for our entrées, we had the chicken Parmesan and the seafood malfadine. Both very hearty dishes. We also had their famous in-house bread which is to die for- we also had the la Vida chopped- this salad was extremely flavorful. Thank you to our server Logan for all of the suggestions you were extremely helpful and one of the nicest servers we’ve had in a long time. Thank you for a phenomenal night and we hope to visit your establishment in the near future.

“All I can say is WOW.”

All I can say is WOW! Took my wife here last night for an anniversary dinner and Alla Vita brought out all of the stops! Our food was amazing, service was incredible, and I felt like it was worth every penny spent. Our server Haneen went above and beyond in every way and one of the managers we dealt with named Nicolle was also fantastic. I couldn’t recommend this place to others fast enough. Look forward to visiting again soon!
