    First time experience at Alla Vita. It was the perfect spot for lunch with my colleagues to toast the holidays. The atmosphere is festive, the food and service were incredible and the location was wonderful (easily accessible to the Loop via the CTA Pink Line). Can’t wait to go back with friends, soon.

    Easily the best experience of my life. The Sing to Me Paulo drink & the Hugo Spritz were easily the best drinks I’ve ever had. GET THE ROASTED OCTOPUS. The sauce, the grilled cucumbers…life changing. The whipped ricotta was so amazing. We shared the dumplings, tagliatelle and the vodka pasta. Just WOW. Unbelievable food and atmosphere. Shout out to our amazing server, Oscar. We will drive out of state for this place any day.

    The food, service and ambience were all excellent. It was nice having selections on a 3 course fixed price menu as a choice- all of which were excellent!

    The food and atmosphere was amazing! We went later on a Wednesday night and the place was hopping. The Bread and Ricotta dumplings were AMAZING! Nolan was fabulous with his food and wine recommendations, such great service! Will be back!
