Hidden gem off Nuckols corridor. Family owned and real Sicilian owners. Restaurant is very clean and cozy. Food was super delicious! I enjoyed everything that we have ordered. My favorite was the Garlic Knots (12 pieces), they were soaked in fresh garlic/olive oil. Marinara dipping sauce was one of the best that I ever had. We ordered Chicken Philly with Provolone from the $9.99 lunch special. It came with the French Fries, I loved the Sub and fries. My son ordered a large Sausage and Pepperoni pizza, it was very tasty and crust was nice and thin. I ordered the Chicken Marsala with pasta on the side. The chicken was very tender and you can cut it with a fork. The Chicken Marsala came with a house salad, my son and I enjoyed the salad with their house dressing. Appetizer Bruschetta was

Only at La Vita E Bella!! Phenomenal service with a very attentive owner. It's a family business ran by very hard working people, creating a cozy atmosphere in a small humble establishment. Great savory dishes. Francesco went out of his way on a busy night, to put together for me a gluten free calamari dish, that I could not get enough from. The only complaint I had is that I could not find anything to complain about!!! I urge you folks out there to give it a try. Update, December 12,2024- If you happen to catch Francesco on a good night when they're not busy, ask for the grilled (not fried) calamari, it is not on the menu but it certainly is a delicateness. Update, March 13, 2025 Another outstanding exquisitely satisfactory dinning experience at La Vita. Another outstanding exquisitely sa

Francesco and his wife Francesca make you feel like family at this casual and fun Sicilian eatery. Ask for the specials of the day. Most of the orders are for pizza but pastas and salad are delicious. Closed Sunday but open Monday to Saturday! He also leads small gtoup trips to Sicily for groups of 8 or more.

I ordered takeout from here and, honestly, I don't get the high average rating. I ordered chicken fettucine alfredo and tiramisu. While it met the need for some creamy noodles and a dessert after a long day, it was just... fine. The chicken was overcooked, noodles were long past al dente, and the cream sauce was a little bland. The tiramisu had no rum flavor - it honestly tasted like cinnamon on top of whipped cream. Reading other reviews, it seems like their specialties are red sauce dishes and pizza, but this order doesn't really make me want to order from them again. It wasn't necessarily bad, but it wasn't anything that made me go "oooh, I want to order from them again."

Another weekend to savor another restaurant food. And we are so happy to find this place nearby and we didn’t made a mistake coming to this restaurant. It’s locally owned by a Sicilian family and the owner Francesco is hands on and welcoming, he offered us the lunch specials and explained to us what comes with it. The place is cleaned and cozy and the service is fast. We ordered garlic knots for appetizer and Seafood Alla Vita Bella with penne which is cooked al dente and the sauce is fresh it also comes with garlic bread and fresh salad and we ordered cannoli for dessert which was just made. The food are so delicious and we can’t wait to try their pizza and other food on the menu. This will be our new place to go for Subs and pizza too. We also ordered Italian sub which comes with French
