    I like the venue and the food options were great. It’s just very crowded during lunchtime, which is good to see.

    We took awhile to order but it did the food a longer time than usual to come to the table. Especially the main courses Also the rigitoni was not as good as usual. The texture was off and it was a bit colder than the other food But the taste of the rest of our dinner was outstanding

    We waited for 20 minutes to give our drink orders. Wine was bad so had to send back. Replacement wine was half of the size of the initial glass. Food was oversalted and lukewarm. Super-hyped and left a lot to be desired.

    Hi Meltem! We're sorry to hear this about your experience while dining with us, we want every guest to enjoy their time at Alla Vita and we're disappointed to hear we weren't able to deliver this time around. We appreciate you taking your time to give us feedback and hope you'll decide to give us another try some time. All the best, Jose Martinez General Manager

    Alla Vita was an amazing experience! We were celebrating a birthday and I let them know ahead of time and they printed out a personalized copy of the menu. It was so special! The service was top notch! Multiple people were always checking in on us and so friendly! The food and drinks are delicious as well! Thank you Alla Vita!
