"Grazie Vita Bella, grazie We’ve just celebrated my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary at Vita Bella at relatively short notice due to some unforeseen circumstances meaning that our original plans had to be changed. However, in hindsight it was very fortuitous that our plans had to be changed and that we ended up at Vita Bella – it’s an absolute gem of a restaurant. Food first: fresh, delicately cooked, extremely well presented – exquisite. The chef and his team are clearly passionate about the menu they deliver. Wines: a varied (but not unnecessarily overwhelming) choice. Stick to the Italian wines though – it feels somewhat inappropriate to choose anything else! Finally, service: absolutely impeccable attentive without being imposing; courteous, efficient and very professional throughout our meal – impressive considering the restaurant was full by 7:30 and remained so until we left just under 3 hours later (which should be used as a barometer of the overall quality of Vita Bella). And if like us, you think it’s only polite to engage with the staff as people rather than just seeing the staff as being there to serve you, then you’d have to go a long way to find a restaurant that you’ll feel so welcome in. To Ciprian and the team, one again – grazie. It was out first visit, but certainly won’t be our last. Cinque stelle signore."
