    The only part that wasn't great was being seated at one of the two tables directly across from the entrance on a very cold night. Everything was perfect other than that 1 small thing.

    We LOVE Alla Vita so I would have liked to given a higher review however, the hostess at the door (with braces) is the reason for my lower rating. We had a 12:30 reservation and arrived promptly at 12:15 where there were plenty of tables. We checked in and were told to wait. This was not a problem however, there were several parties of 2 who came in after us without a reservation and were seated immediately. My husband asked the hostess when we would be seated, and she said “12:30 when your reservation is”. If I would have known that you could walk in and get seated faster than someone with a reservation I would have never made my reservation! I love using open table because you get rewarded for booking ahead but apparently that’s not the case at Alla Vita. Such a shame since we usually love to go to this restaurant.

    Noise level was next level. I don’t understand why they have me and my wife sit next 2 party groups of 10 each and they were screaming at each other.

    Celebrated our 33rd Valentine’s Day at Alla Vita. Service was great!!!! Shared a few appetizers and entrees that our server recommended. Food was good however there wasn’t anything we ate that gave us that “Wow” factor to bring us back. Great experience overall.
