Great Italian deli/specialty store. Staff are very friendly and helpful and they have some harder to find Italian items. The chickpea salad and pizza are awesome as well as their bread. We will definitely be returning.

La Vita Italian is a great spot! The focaccia is absolutely delicious, and the 72-hour cold brew is so good. This place feels truly authentic and offers so much variety—even if all you want is a single chicken cutlet. Definitely worth checking out!

We stopped by after a gymnastics meet in Sparta. It’s a small cute spot and looks very traditional. Ordered the steak or brisket sandwich, fig focaccia, Italian sub and pesto panini. Steak sandwich was good (3.5/5) could have used more meat, fig focaccia was top notch (5/5), panini was delicious (5/5) and Italian was typical Italian (4.5/5). The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and took care of our order pretty quick. A must visit spot if u r in town craving for legit sandwiches. $46 for all the 4 items is not bad and def a bang for my buck. Enjoy 🇮🇹❤️⭐️

Truly felt the Italian vibe! As soon as I walked in, I wanted to try a bit of everything—so I ordered the Porchetta, Italiano, Meatball Parmigiana Hero, and the Americano. Each one had its own unique flavor, but the Porchetta definitely stole the show and won my heart! Paired it with a Mexican Coca-Cola—because you can’t miss that classic combo. To finish things off, I tried the Chocolate Tiramisu—my first time having it with a chocolate espresso cake twist, and let me tell you, it’s a must-try for all chocolate lovers. And don’t skip the seasonal crostata—it’s a light, fresh, and perfect way to end the meal.

I went back here and my family goes too. The food is really good. We get mushroom salad delicious! The sandwiches on focaccia bread heated are out of this world!! The staff was very helpful. I went to a wedding that they catered and the food was presented beautifully and delicious.
