So so good!!! We had several recs for great Italian restaurants in Chicago and I am so glad we went with Alla Vita! I can't stop raving about it. Food and service were amazing!

I went here my last night in Chicago, and I can truly say it was great choice! Me and my family did make a reservation because we knew it was going to be crowded and I can say that you should do that if you can. Right when we walked in the ambiance took my breath away. Me and my sister shared the whipped ricotta for an appetizer and that was just alright, but my friend got the Kale Caesar. Although the Kale Caesar didn't really taste like your usual Caesar salad, it was still good. As well as that, I got the Cavatelli and it was great with just the right amount of spice. If I came back to Chicago, I def would come here again!

Loved this restaurant! Great drinks, great food, great service! The vodka rigatoni was amazing!!! The inside of the restaurant is so warm and cozy and the ceiling is so unique. A great place to come with friends and split a bunch of dishes to try the whole menu. Will definitely be coming back!
Be the first to ReplyCame here with two close friends for restaurant week.
This is was my first and only restaurant week for lunch in 2024! It did not disappoint. We each had three courses and it was very delicious and in good portions. Service was swift and kind. I'm glad I finally got to try this place after hearing about it for so long. The decor is absolutely gorgeous!
Be the first to ReplyThe food at Alla Vita is as good as advertised.
The bread, with the orange honey sauce, is delicious, and very unique for an Italian restaurant. I had the Chicken Parm, which is their featued item, and is excellent. I will definitely be eating here again!

Be the first to ReplyWhen is the last time you said I LOVE THIS SALAD? My lunch
When is the last time you said I LOVE THIS SALAD? My lunch companion said the same thing! He enjoyed the Alla Vita Chopped while I sampled the Arugula & Apple Salad- Crunchy Hazelnuts, chewy farro, zesty pecorino, and a tart lemon tarragon vinaigrette came together in a perfect symphony of flavors. While the salads were gorgeous and tasty, the space is inviting and very hip, the service was impeccable. Especially because our business meeting took longer than expected and despite the lunch shift ending and the restaurant essentially closing between shifts, no one rushed us or even tried to take the signed paid check (that part we did promptly so not to keep our server. I went to the server and handed her the completed transaction just in case she was trying to get home. ) Thanks Alla Vita! Your patience was much appreciated.
Be the first to ReplyDo not get the chicken parm! It was a rubbery,
Do not get the chicken parm! It was a rubbery, ultra-processed "chicken" piece with a disturbing texture. What an absolute slap in the face for $34. Our waiter could tell we disliked the dish and avoided asking how the food was, instead asking if we would like to box up the "chicken." Reheated frozen Tyson chicken is significantly better than what we received. This was my first time at Alla Vita and after hearing such glowing reviews, was absolutely let down. Additionally, the famous rigatoni a la vodka was much too al dente for my preference. Borderline uncooked pasta shells. The Arancini was good, but painfully average.
Be the first to ReplyCame here because I saw great reviews & even looked some up
Came here because I saw great reviews & even looked some up on YouTube. Took my bf for his birthday and the menus came with "happy bday ... on top" which was very sweet but they misspelled his name after I called and reserved & made sure I spelled his name out. I was a little disappointed with the taste of the food. The pricing was not worth the food. The place inside is beautiful and has a calm feel to it. My favorite item on the menu was the appetizer which we had bread with cheese.

The arancini balls were fantastic - definitely recommend!

I love this place and always return when I get a chance to visit the city. The ambiance is immaculate. From the flower decorations on the floor, the ceiling fixtures and beautiful bar. It's so nice. Great service as well. Loved our waiter, very attentive to our needs. Food came out quickly and was fresh. The cocktails are interesting and great way to start- got the under the pergola and it was refreshing. The kale Caesar salad was also excellent, had a good texture profile. We had pastas to share. The vodka is by far my favorite. It's rich without being overbearing and the pasta has pockets filled with sauce which I loved. The ricotta dumpling dish is also very good but a little goes a long way - I'm glad I shared it because it would have been too decadent for a main dish alone. The pepper on it really added to the flavor profile.
Be the first to ReplyAlla Vita was delicious! 4.
5/5. My only complaint is that it did seem a little overpriced, but everything was still great nonetheless. The atmosphere was fantastic. Will definitely be going back!

Came here for dinner with a friend, though we accidentally made a reservation for a week ahead of our day! They were able to get us in despite having a booked house. Everything was delicious. My plate, the cacio y pepe dumplings, was incredibly rich. I couldn't even finish it all. Great concept but would have liked to see it presented differently as you end up just getting about 8 noodles. Still five stars because of great service, great people, beautiful atmosphere, and great food.

One of the better dining experiences I've had in a while complete with a stunning environment. Couldn't recommend enough!

If you are in Chicago this restaurant is a must visit! The food, service and atmosphere is all incredible. I can't speak highly enough. Sebastian helped us choose what to order since it was our first time here, he recommended the Ricotta Dumplings and the Rigatoni- both were melt in your mouth good! We couldn't even get a photo before eating! We also were given a surprise desert at the end of the meal, which was so yummy. Michela was our waitress and she was extremely friendly and attentive. We definitely will be eating at Alla Vita anytime we are in town!

LOVE the interior of this place!! The rigatoni Alla vodka and mushroom pizza are the best! The pasta is perfectly Al dente and the sauce is delicious. Highly recommend the Calibrian chili as well on top of the pizza. The staff is very friendly and service is good.
Be the first to ReplyNew spot for me and I absolutely loved it.
My server suggested the bucatini and I am a big fan of it now. The ambiance and service was great as well. I had one of their mock tails since I don't drink alcohol but still enjoy a good drink. I personally loved the roasted chicken with the sauces on it, but my partner could have gone without it or on the side. If you come here make sure to order the house bread. Perfectly toasted and crunchy on the edges, but soft and cheesy in the middle. Next time I'll make sure to ask to sit in the main dining room.

Came to celebrate a birthday, we were taken care of by Emanuel. He was extremely helpful with the menu, super friendly and kind. I love the attention to detail, even the menus had "happy birthday" printed on them. The ambiance is so calm and soothing, we tried the prosciutto pizza, mushrooms, potatoes, chicken parmigiana, rigatoni and the tiramisu. Everything was amazing and the food came super fast. I loved everything about my experience and will definitely be coming back. Thank you to Emanuel, with the friendliest smile, and thank you to all the amazing staff.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing food and service! I love this place.
The ambiance was dope as well. I would highly recommend this spot.My favorite thing was probably the aranchini; incredible!
Be the first to ReplyThere were 7 of us.
We were seated at a lively table near a window. We had an early (5pm) reservation so we were starving. The drink menu had some very interesting concepts, we ordered the Little Havana (rum with bitter bianche and mint) and the Notte Oscura (Gin cynar and balsamic). All agreed these were delicious, but spendy at $17. We had a plethora of appetizers which included whipped ricotta, fritto misto, arancini, and wood fired meatballs. We agreed they were all delicious-so much do that we devoured them before taking a picture! For dinner each couple shared a pasta and a pizza. The sauce on the tagliatelle was rich and felt luxurious. The ricotta dumplings melted in the mouth and the sauce was so creamy I scraped the bowl clean. Extensive but overpriced wine list. Service-just ok, maybe a newbie? 3% service charge for staff automatically added. We will definitely be back!
Be the first to ReplyThe service was amazing and our waiter was very personable.
This restaurant has a lot of delicious options that all tasted amazing. I also ordered roasted octopus that was accompanied by a delicious savory sauce and beans.

Don't get me wrong, the food was amazing but I made a reservation almost 2.5 months ago to come here with my boyfriend and we were sat at one of the high top tables by the bar. When asked to see if we can be seated anywhere else we were told that they overbooked and we couldn't be moved. The table was long and awkward and did not have any back rests. We paid a lot of money to sit at bar top seating with crowds of people standing over us waiting at the bar. I'm extremely disappointed at how the night turned out. My back was also killing me by the end.
Be the first to ReplyOne of the hottest new restaurants did not disappoint.
The ambience was good, the food was banging. The table bread is wonderful. So are those pillowy ricotta gnocchi dumplings. The mushroom lasagna was also epic - lots of deep umami flavor. The budino was sinfully chocolate-y. Burrata and pizza were good but nothing amazing - can be skipped imo.
Be the first to ReplyObviously, like any eager food, I get a lot of
Obviously, like any eager food, I get a lot of recommendations from Chicago Influencers. I have been desiring to check out Alla Vita for over 6 months now. And now, my dreams have finally come true. As soon as you walk in, you know this is a SWANKY place! It's gorgeous and overdone, but not at all tacky. There's one giant dining room that has delicate drapes hanging from the ceiling and another side room, more like a greenhouse with large glass windows and plants strewn about the rafters. We were seated in the greenhouse annex and I felt this was the better space, much more intimate and quieter than the large dining room. Our server suggested ~4 items for me and my companion. Considering the wait for this place, we decided to go big or go home and order a ton of food. Our server reminded us that we were ordering A LOT of food and we happily told her we can't wait to have leftovers!Drinks: - Started with a glass of champagne, because celebrating life!- Flower Crown cocktail: LOVED THIS. Didn't taste like alcohol (lol) and I had two. So sweet and delicious. Appetizers:- Tuna Crudo: Vibrant red tuna, delicate in flavor, topped with a bright Meyer lemon oil and complemented by a horseradish aioli. Definitely recommend. - Arancini: Risotto balls fried to crispy perfection and filled with gooey cheese. These are heavy but very tasty and not overwhelming. We ate 2 and brought the other 2 home (reheated in the air fryer and they were as perfect as originally served). -Burrata: A palm-sized portion of Buratta, uniquely paired with an asparagus and farro salad and a generous serving of bread. It was an unexpected pairing but definitely delicious. The burrata was so creamy yet light. We quickly ate all of this.Entrees:- Rigatoni alla Vodka: I'm a purist, so this wasn't my favorite. This vodka sauce was heavy-handed with a spicy kick- not my preference. Though, the rigatoni was tender and hearty. Most of this came back for leftovers (which I paired with some steamed kale). - Tagliatelle- Thick ribbony noodles with chunky beef shank ragu. As a pescatarian, I do not normally feel compelled to eat meat, but I sampled this and it was delicious. The meat was shredded and not ground so it was easy to navigate around to get a taste. My companion loved this. - Ricotta Dumplings in Cacio e Pepe: Our server noted this as the most popular item on the menu. At first taste, you can understand why. It is sooo creamy and savory with a beautiful balance of pepper. However, it is very rich and very heavy; sure to fill you up, even with the modest portion. We packed up most of this, but sad to report, it does not reheat well. So definitely eat this while you're there and make sure it is a dish you're sharing with others. - Mushroom pizza: This is the best pizza crust I've ever had (and I'm from New York). Alla Vita really has this crispy on the outside, soft on the inside crust down pat. The pizza is complemented by black truffle, caramelized onion, and taleggio. It is VERY pungent but very tasty. This pizza reheats well in the air fryer. - Broccolini- we ordered a side of veggies to offset all of the carbs (even though, no shame in eating carbs, just needed some balance). The broccolini is a large, sharable portion, probably enough for 4 people as a side dish. The broccolini is longstemmed and cooked with preserved lemon, garlic, olive oil, and a fantastic compliment to pasta. These reheat well in the microwave. We were clearly stuffed and did not order dessert. We had enough food for an extra meal. Additionally, all of this costed under $300, including tax and tip (and leftovers), which is truly a steal at such a highly coveted, West Loop, restaurant.Also, side note about left overs: They have a system similar to coatcheck for leftovers. When they take the food away, they give you a numbered tag that you can pick up on your way out.
