Vita del Lago

This place is a gem! I am very picky about Italian food. I had an Italian mama! lol. We loved this place! Not many Italian places get it right. This place does. Beautiful outdoor patio and indoors has a wonderful ambiance too. Prices very affordable.

Moved to Michigan City from Chicagoland 14 months ago. I’ve spent my life in great restaurants and Vita Del Lago has quickly become my favorite restaurant here. The staff continually does a great job and the food is phenomenal. Super cozy and home-cooked food in a great environment. You really can’t ask for much more. Definitely give it a try!

I'm tellin' you, this is about the best sausage and peppers you're gonna have! I'm Italian and grew up on some hard-core Italian food and restaurants. What makes this place legit is the spice. A little legit heat here. This sauce is OFF THE CHAIN!!! As good as it gets. Tastes a lot like my Mom's. And that's saying something. I want to try everything on the menu. The owner takes it seriously for sure. A new favorite of mine.

I'm writing this review to save you all money. Literally, go elsewhere. The food was way over priced for what you got. My husband ordered salmon. It literally came out on a tiny plate with just a piece of salmon. No rice, no veggies, no nothing.

Our waitress was lovely but we could tell she was beco

We were driving from WI to Holland MI and came across this lovely restaurant to have lunch. There are exciting renovations going on in this Uptown Arts District, but it was well worth our time locating in the midst of street closures. We enjoy dining experiences that offer culinary expertise that also embodies the essence of 'Lake Life and historical buildings. Don’t miss the in-house made bread with a dipping olive oil and herb companion. For appetizers, I highly recommend the Baked Goat Cheese, Tomato confit and rosemary ciabatta. We were torn between ordering the fresh burrata u bruschetta, apricot prosciutto, oysters rockerfeller, meatballs and marinara, toasted baguette. My Mediterranean Salad was very, very tasty. It comes with large lettuce leaves on the side so that you can eat i
