    Always a reliable place. Pizzas are extraordinary and the starters worth several to start. Very popular but has not wavered from the great notice it got when it first opened. The Boka boys get things right again!

    A Perfect Easter Brunch at Alla Vita!!! We had a fantastic Easter brunch! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. The mimosa offering was generous and well-crafted, setting the perfect tone for a celebratory meal. The food was absolutely delicious—beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly the work of a talented chef who knows how to balance creativity with comfort. The service was exceptional. Every member of the staff was warm, attentive, and professional, making sure we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout. The ambience was great—stylish décor, and great energy! You can tell this place is run by people who truly care about what they do. Between the amazing food, the outstanding service, and the inviting atmosphere, Alla Vitta once again delivered a truly memorable experience. We’re already looking forward to coming back again, and again!

    Wonderful first time dining at Ala Vita. Our server Steph was extremely friendly, knowledgeable of the menu, and adhered to some dining restrictions our group faced. Overall, this was a fantastic atmosphere and menu with a very good cocktail and mocktail list. The wine list, while not extensive, had both value and high end options available and covered the major varietals very well. We can’t wait to go back as we had a fantastic time!
