    Has easily become one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago! Came here for restaurant week and was able to snag a reservation sitting at the bar! Between two people we got the two glasses of wine, Brussels sprouts, Muhammara, cauliflower kebabs, short ribs, carrot cake, and date cake. Everything was delicious, and certainly a lot of food for a restaurant week deal. We had to pack a lot to go! Brussels sprouts: 8/10, came out fast and was likely prepared before we ordered which makes sense for restaurant week (but still delicious) Muhammara: 9.5/10 (absolutely delicious and unique) Cauliflower kebabs: 9/10 (the dates on the skewer add a sweetness to the cauliflower, so delicious) Short ribs: 9/10 (melt in your mouth) Carrot cake: 7.5/10 (not the biggest fan of carrot cake but really good and the icing was perfect) Date cake: 9.5/10 (had a crème brûlée vibe to the top of the cake, it was delicious and not too sweet)

    First visit, seated early, great service, nice casual feel. Carciofo Alla Guidia is the delicious signature artichoke appetizer. Insulata Di Carvolo has a strong anchovy taste which we like. Rigatoni Alla Carbonara is decantly rich. Pesce In Guazzetto has nice suace that we teamed with side of Funghi E Formaggi. Dessert was Zabaione E Berries which is a generous serving with a hint of alcohol. We will be back.

    100% recommended and we will be back! I'm a food and wine nerd so studied beforehand and got the Burratta and a glass of Verdicchio. This Italian white is an absolute gem that most Americans need to know about but don't. The Burratta is close to a masterpiece with the roasted red and yellow beets shouted out by their little toasted hazelnut shorties. Also our server Monica was perfect 5 stars! She was attentive immediately and lovely. When she realized it was a business meeting, she chilled and slower her cadence. She is who you want serving you food at a lovely restaurant. My wife is an Italy native (Venezia) and I have traveled all over Italy many, like 15+ times. I know Italian food very well. I grew up in a foodie household with my mother a 1970s foodie, including having taken a week of cooking school classes with Julia Child herself at La Varenne. Alla Vita is one of the best Italian restaurants in Chicago. Let's call it the very BEST, cuz Kevin Boehm is the owner and he's such a cool and great dude! Cinque stelle!!!!!

    From our server to dinner and drinks, this place hands down is so good. The craft cocktails, even the mocktails for my daughter were so good. This is a shared small plate style experience which adds to the fun. Their Cacio de Pepe is to die for, every veggie dish was amazing - the best was their cauliflower dish. Only one I want a big fan of was their risotto w parsnips, but didn’t dampen the meal. We went on a Mon night, had reservations and it was packed! A must go and eat there when in Chicago.
