   My wife & I would give Vida Cucina Italia 6 Stars, if we could! The 5-Course Winter Menu Tasting Dinner with wine pairings was an absolutely epic dining experience! We enjoy fine dining on special occasions, and we had been eager to visit this restaurant… so when we saw that this special tasting dinner was on my wife’s birthday, I immediately booked a table! From the moment we walked in the door of the hotel Wednesday evening we were treated with the highest level of service by every employee of the Fort Garry Hotel, the Oval Room Brasserie, and Vida Cucina Italia whom we encountered, plus the bartender was great and made us delicious cocktails, our dinner server was terrific, and we thought the attentive, friendly sommelier was outstanding! We enjoyed every course and pairing so much that choosing a favourite is a difficult task, however I find myself still dreaming about that Il Falcone wine, and my wife insists she’s never tasted such delicious scallops! They even dressed up my wife’s dessert in celebration of her birthday, which we know many fancy places won’t do, so that was a nice touch. My wife and I were trying to get a photo together in the hotel lobby before we left, when one of the Vida staff offered to help, and she got some of the best photos of us that anyone has ever taken of us! Thank you for the most special evening… we will highly recommend this restaurant to everyone we know!

   The best restaurant in Winnipeg! There are other places that serve good food but VCI gives you the fine dining experience others lack.

   Celebrated my wife's birthday at Vida Cucina and it was exceptional! The ambiance was perfect, the service impeccable, and the food was out of this world. A must-visit for anyone seeking a top-notch dining experience. We can't wait to go back! :)

   The service was exceptional from the host to the servers to the sommelier. The hotel is already famous for being a lovely setting. The food, I’m very sad to say, is underwhelming. None of the dishes met the value of what is charged. The ingredient choices are very good, but this means little when prepared in such a way that they in no way compete with similar restaurants.
