Food was gorgeous.....staff were very friendly. Only bad point was the cold breeze coming from the down stair bar area because of the doors being open. Was a bit cold. Il absolutely return but maybe with a jumper. :)
Got a delivery, food was fresh and hot, plenty of it also. And plenty of sauce with our steaks. Prawn cocktail was out standing. Desserts perfect. We were sceptical about getting this sort of food delivered. But we were stuck at home with the flu and fancied a treat, service was great, on time and staff were polite and helpful.
Best Italian around. Ali and his team are fantastic, always feel most welcome and the food is second to none. Do try - pollo funghi crema, chicken/lamb kebab, penne La Vita.
The food and the service were outstanding. Great staff. The restaurant was very busy (Saturday evening) and we were still served our food and drinks very quickly. Definitely recommend and will be returning!
We visited La Vita Viva as a family of 21 to celebrate my husband’s 60th Birthday and the food was absolutely outstanding — five-star quality from start to finish. Every dish was full of authentic Italian flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. What made it even better was the service we received being a big party not an easy task but we were really well looked after. I would highly recommend and we will be back
This place is fantastic, staff very friendly, great food. Then down to the adjoining bar for football or relaxing after your meal. One of our favourite places to go when we are back visiting.
Excellent service and food. Pricing very sensible. Will be back...
Went to park outside restaurant blocked by rude owner of restaurant tipping rubbish told me I'd have to reverse car onto busy road! Then to be told I'm not welcome in his restaurant. Easily resolved if he moved into car park turn around. Instead got aggressive and approached car I'm assuming this was the owner!! I'll never be back this local business dose not respect its customers. Plus somebody need to learn the highway code CANT Reverse into a Main Road. Been once and it would be my last time going Back Simply been put off by this..However Fork and Field down the Road outstanding on this occasion. If I could rate Zero Star I would. Please learn customer service and manners! Word of mouth travels If the owner attudie is like this, he'll soon have no customers it all starts at the top. Friends eat here alot and was shocked to here it. You'd be better of at Tony Macs in Livingston.
We booked here for dinner as a treat for our daughter as we were advised to try the home made pizza. We were the first family to arrive , although there were other people in right behind us and they were served first. We were not asked if we wanted any sauce etc and when I had to ask 5 mins after my pizza was on the table the lady returned with 1 sachet of tomato sauce (although there were 3 of us at the table) The lady dropped the sachet on the table and walked away without even asking what kind of sauce we were wanting. My chips arrived when the pizza was finished . We got the idea it was because we were not regulars as the staff seemed to ignore us and they even asked the people beside us if they were enjoying there meals. We were like strangers in the corner . What a shame because the food was nice
This is a lovely restaurant where they have a varied menu that meet everyone's needs. Whether you are wanting to enjoy a romantic meal for two, family meal or any special occasion, all are welcome. The quality of food is fantastic. They also provide for those who are Vegetarian and Gluten intolerant. Friendly and welcoming staff help create a nice warm atmosphere.
