Why You’ll Love It
The bright yellow awnings and greenery outside Alla Vita welcome guests to enjoy sophisticated Italian fare the way it was meant to be. By using authentic, simplified techniques with the freshest ingredients possible, perfectly paired with an array of thoughtfully selected wines, Alla Vita elevates their cuisine to delicious new heights. The interior is modern-organic in style, bringing the beauty of nature indoors through hand-painted flowers on the wooden floor, a barreled, latticework ceiling covered with greenery, soft twinkling lights, and fluttery fabric draped from above. The menu is served family-style to promote sharing and conversation with a focus on pizzas with unexpected toppings prepared in their wood-burning oven, a handpicked selection of pasta, and a featured Chicken Parmigiana dish. It's no wonder their name means "to life" in Italian because everything about Alla Vita, from the mouthwatering dishes to the space itself, feels like a celebration.

Everything on the menu is a crowd-pleaser, but the Lasagna and Cacio e Pepe steal the show. The wine list is unique and extensive. Sommeliers are your friends here - ask for one when you first sit down, and have them pick something new and fun or a classic Italian producer. Plan on booking at least a month ahead of time for a dinner reservation during peak hours (Opentable spots open 60 days in advance). We recommend grabbing a seat at the bar or on the patio right when they open.
