Reviews of La Vita é Bella

C. H.

La Vita é Bella was a great place. Hosted 12 of us and were very accommodating. Great decor, very authentic. The food was great as well, so fresh and authentic, full of flavour an we all left feeling satisfied. The staff were fab and the chef is a nice guy! Fully recommend this venue and I think we will be going there again!!!

G. C.

My girlfriend and I ate here on a whim and it was amazing. Very friendly, welcoming staff, a great menu with very good vegetarian options, and delicious food. It's a lovely place to have dinner and it's great value. I can't recommend La Vita é Bella enough, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

T. D.

Very nice set menu good price amazing decorations very friendly and attending service , food was great bruschetta and main was really good . Minus one star ⭐️ for the cheesecake better and funny taste I didn’t like it .

A. S.

Great food and service! Apparently a Italian family/crew runs the restaurant. I had a lunch menu for 14 pounds with starter, main and dessert all in a huge serving size!

E. A.

This place is a hideen little gem that will take you to Italy with every visit. The food is tasty, the service is quick and the many little details that decorates the place creates a unique atmosphere.

F. W.

Very extensive menu (plenty to try). Food was well cooked as far as the 3 different dishes we had are concerned. They also light actual candles which gives the restaurant a nice atmosphere.

E. M.

The place is very cute and the staff is super welcoming. However, I did not find the food super tasty. Had the pizza and it was pretty average. Prices are reasonable.

R. W.

Everything about this place is 10/10. Food, atmosphere, service, decor. A truly family feel Italian restaurant that feels warm and cozy. We’ve just moved to Islington and have already taken everyone we know here. A must visit, would highly recommend!

P. P.

Great visiting here again, thank you for the great service. Pizza chef with a personality, great with kids! Have to try their garlic bread, so soft and fresh, need to visit again, pizzas next time!

J. G.

Amazing experience. My kids got to make pizza while we waited and the food was incredible. Can't wait to go back again one day!

M. M.

Warm and inviting host. We sat near the authentic pizza oven, and could watch the fresh dough being tossed, the atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming to all. For the starter I ordered the Large Green Italian Olives with a Negroni, both of which were nice. For the main I ordered the Seafood Linguine (white sauce) very tasty and packed with seafood. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and a great finale to our Sunday. I can't wait to return and try something new!

J. M.

What a great evening at LVéB... Spotted outside looking in by hands-on manager, Mustafa, we (4+1) were encouraged insode and were not disappointed. Really excellent food friendly, helpful service from all the staff and especially Grace. Occasional visitors to the area, we shall return!

H. I.

Delicious pizza and seafood pasta I highly recommend this restaurant. Kind staff Especially Miss Merve Thank you

A. B.

Really a great place to eat! I finally find perfect pizza 🤩 people who work there are amazing, we have had the best time, and i can't wait to come again. Also, we were sitting outside, bcs it was fine weather, but when i saw inside i was like WOW! Next time, i want to sit inside and enjoy in music and interior. :)

C. L.

This place is a gem. Located in the heart of angel, islington...La vita was tasty, personal and fair. The decor was unique but not to much, and the venue was surprisingly big I can see this place being ideal for a birthday dinner or work event. Where they gain stars is on the service where I requested a specialised dish they would not of ordinarily of done at that time of the evening, but the manager made an exception. That extra service always goes down well. My lamb was succulent and flavoured through out. And my dates meal she described as tasty and filling. Over all would definitely go again. My one draw back is an overwhelming menu...So much to choose from can be quite disconcerting. Far to much chioce for me, but for others might be ideal if you like to browse. Other thoroughly enjoyed my evening.

R. M.

Really tasty Italian restaurant. The pasta is delicious and reasonably priced. The portion sizes are big! The ravioli and mushroom tagliatelle are among my favourites. The atmosphere is lovely and definitely worth a visit.

D. P.

Incredible place! From the front it isn’t how huge, beautiful and lovely is this place. The food is perfect. I had the 3 courses menu. Perfect. Well served, tasty. For desert Banoffee pie is a sweet dream!

T. M.

The finest cabanara I have had the good fortune of eating. Clean, quick and worth revisiting.

K. D.

This is good place to be. Premises is clean, tidy and well organised. Food is good but steaks are exceptional good. Juices and coffee are good. Also their tiramisu is exceptional good.

F. K.

The food &wine was good only reason for not the full stars was that I had asked for dressing on the side and this request was completely ignored. So my salad was overdressed for my liking and I struggled to finish it.

W.

Excellent restaurant. Delicious food and great staff.

N. M.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Staff were very attentive without being too overwhelming. Special thanks to Grace for looking after us after noticing we were from up North like she is!! Well recommended

C. D.

Perfect !!! Very nice staff and excellent simple and fresh food.

J. P.

Great restaurant, love the pastas and risottos here, with a sound range of sides to choose from.

T.

We had a wedding brunch here this week and I have to say it was absolutely fab! Everyone raved about the food, the service was flawless and Ruby (the manageress) was so lovely and amenable, we were able to decorate the venue beforehand and everything was packed away for us to collect the next morning so we could enjoy our evening. Thanks again!

E. C.

Went for a works do lovely little restaurant with friendly staff and great food and banging cocktails.

S. G.

Pretty good restaurant with lots of tacky decorations but also great food and service. The outside looks like a row of restaurants but don’t be fooled! Inside they combine into a huge atrium.

M. R.

Just had the best hot chocolate ever here. Amazing lunch menu and all this space which you can't see from the street. Staff are great. Just had dinner here a month later. Amazing lamb chops. Plied us with free lemoncellos at the end of the evening. Perfect.

A. D.

Very good pizza and pasta and welcoming staff, will be back!

M. R.

I am honestly surprised at the 4.3 average rating. We have visited the restaurant and ordered delivery probably 40-50 times in the past few years, and it has always been absolutely delicious. The service is flawless. Without a single exception. What are the odds that we have just been "lucky" to get that many perfect meals in a row? One of the few places that deserves a 5.0 rating.

s. e.

Very nice and cosy place to come and eat and drink Very friendly staff too

T. D. B. M.

Good food. We had pizza and pasta. And super service, especially from Hasnat.

R. W.

First time customer ordering on deliveroo as trying to order from uber eats was the worst decision in the world. I was tempted to give 4 stars down to the fact we had rice missing for one of the sides we ordered and then only 1 scoop of ice cream for 1 dessert when we had 3 desserts and they all should have had ice cream. But because the food was so tasty and delicious I find it hard to give anything less than 5* but when I order again in future or come and eat it if I find I'm missing more food then I will knock a star off. But this is one of the best restaurants if you are wanting traditional Italian food.

M. S.

I am a very picky customer and pretty fussy when it comes to food and serving, but this place certainly exceeds my expectations! The food was unbelievably good, perfect I could say! The service was good, the place was nice. We had a great time and enjoyed some really good food so I would really recommend the place!

M. S.

Lovely and authentic mangiare italiano One the tastiest lasagne in Town

A. C.

Simple Italian restaurant, with friendly service and good pizzas. Standard Italian fare, reasonably priced and good atmosphere. Will probably return.

K. H.

Very delicious food and friendly staffs :)

R. M.

Had a great meal on Sunday night here - delicious food, friendly service and the venue was clearly making an effort to comply with current regulations on COVID-19. We sat outside, but the interior design inside was beautiful. Fully recommend.

D. S.

Great food, great service at good prices

E.

Excellent food and service, we would return

J. P.

We got our dinner from here last night, not only was the food tasty and of a great standard, their customer service team went above and beyond. Because of this we will definitely be going back and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Italian in Islington. Thank you.

A. Z. P.

I've been a patron of this place for four years and I've never been disappointed. I come often and the food is perfect, service attentive and ever so catering. The decor and location is really neat. Its actually one of the few Italian restaurants that I think are worth it without fail. In my opinion it has the best balance between cost, portion size and great dining experiences.

N. C.

Love this restaurant, slight hiccup this evening with the mains order due to 2 types of chicken supreme on the menu, at the point of ordering I wasn't asked which one I would prefer hence the wrong one was served, got tomato based with mashed potatoes rather than creamy sauce with fries, however would definitely come back, staff were very accommodating, 3rd time here now but feel drinks over priced compared to food, sometimes if you fancy a nice cocktail it can become more than you food bill at £11 per drink ☹️

R. M.

Amazing food! Everything we had was faultless Definitely returning

D. D. I.

It used to be one of my favourite spots but the service has gone worse. A lot of noob waiters/waitresses. Food is good and the portions are massive. The pizzas are decent but you can tell their ingredients are certainly not fresh. Overall the quality has gone down but it's still a nice place with good vibes and a bit romantic.

J. M.

Excellent food and really great service!

J. C.

I've eaten a lot of Italian food in my life (including in Italy) and I think this might honestly be my favorite Italian restaurant overall. I've been three times now and tried several dishes. The food is consistently awesome as is their service. I will definitely be a regular!

M. C.

Best home made creme brulee I’ve ever had!

S. L.

I recently went there. Food was not bad but man ( owner ??) was bit rude. He got our order and payment . But his face was angry when he received our order, and was never smile, never reply even my friend kept said him before made payment " food is nice." Waitress was good to serve but man made us angry. He must change his manner if he wants to run restaurant.That's why, I won't go there again.

V. M.

A really nice and cozy place, friendly service and they accommodated me when I wanted the salad that wasn’t on the menu. The pasta was also very good. And the price was very reasonable, £9.95 for two courses. Definitely recommend!

S. “. L.

Expensive, but amazing food and great service, so frankly well worth it! Definitely one to try.

K. M.

I often take my friends to this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The the food there is flavorable and the stuff is generous and cooperative. Every time we visit this place we enjoy a splendid time. highly recommended.

M. L.

Lovely restaurant in Angel. The pizza was very traditional/Italian. Very thin and really tasty. The service was really fast and great. We also had freshly squeezed orange juice and apple juice that were so incredibly fresh - which is not that easy to find here in London. The environment was very nice and the staff very friendly.

V. J.

Authentic Italian food in a friendly, family run restaurant. Lively, unpretentious, warm atmosphere delivers what you want in a local Italian. Wide selection of food and beverages that are very well priced. I would particularly recommend for large gatherings as there is quite a lot of space inside and something for everyone on the menu.

M. A.

Wouldn't describe it as Italian, more Turkish cusine. Tasted good and we were a larger group which can be difficult but they did well and got everything right! Would recommend if you're in the area, but don't make a trip especially

C. M.

Great finding! The food is beyond excellent, attentive staff and the prices are what keeps me coming back. Try the house red wine, cannot find better in London. The details of the atmosphere make you feel like you are in Italy... I cannot wait for the next time.

J. M.

Not great. Milanese was burned and under-seasoned. Service was slow to the point we felt forgotten. The "tempura" prawns were actually breaded... I will go elsewhere in future.

K. R.

Great Italian food, wonderful atmosphere. Truly feels like an authentic taste of Italy in the heart of London. Repeat offender of their Spaghetti Bolognese which is out of this world! Couldn't recommend higher for Italian food on Upper Street.

C. D.

This is a hidden Italian gem, I have never been disappointed with a meal here so decided to have my 30th birthday downstairs (when you go to the back you discover the venue is beautiful). The staff were fantastic, the food came quickly and was cooked beautifully and we had a fantastic evening.

O. R.

Friendly staff, amazing food and a plethora of options suited for all diners! I'm a regular regular here and the food always seems to exceed all expectations

H.

Pizza was great. Service too. I wish the menu was shorter though, as the pasta dishes seemed not to be too fresh.

w. e.

Fabulous place to eat. Food top notch. Recommend the fish broth to start and the steak is melt in the mouth. Friendly atmosphere and worth a venture in. You'll be in for a pleasant surprise.

T. S.

Great service, great food. Nuff said. Part II Yummy food that reminds me of Italian in New York City. Had the veal schnitzel with pasta bolognese, eggplant parm and mixed veg antipasti — all of them hit the spot.

A. S.

Great place to eat friendly staff.Superb

c. n.

Been a very long time since I have eaten in Islington 25 years. This restaurant brought back so many memories and all good . The staff are so friendly and we're so kind to our disabled dog . Yes dog ivy We were allowed to seat in the Window seats and that was lovely being able to watch the people go by as the windows are all open . The food was out of this world . My daughter was closing her eyes with the first few mouth fulls as it was that good. We had a bowl with us so even ivy has a taste of the wonderful different pasta under the table . We went and had this amazing meal on Sunday 8th May 2016 . It's Tuesday today and we are still talking about that great evening . I give this restaurant 10/10 even the journey back to milton keynes after by car was ok due how good that evening had been . They made us feel special. We will be back . Thank you Claire-louise

A. G.

I really like this Italian restaurant. It is probably my favourite one Italian restaurant in London. Food is absolutely great a really decent prices. I usually go often and I always have a lovely moment with my partner.

T. S.

Lovely restaurant and staff.

O. P.

My favourite classic Italian on Upper Street, a bit recessed away from the hustle and bustle of the main road, quiet and friendly. Nothing especially awesome about the food but the place to go for a comforting carbonara with your other half (or flatmate).

F.

This place is huge! It was such a surprise, ideal for groups. Food is good, it’s excellent value for money and they serve big portions. It’s a nice experience!

D. S.

Absolutely surprised with this place. Great service, amazing food, not expensive. We are looking forward to go back. (We are coming back almost every week!) Amazing place.

G. D.

Recently fettled their menus. Unfortunately the amazing schnitzel no longer comes with zucchini fries and bolognese. However the Italian nachos are still fantastic.

J. M.

Very nice place. The staff were attentive and polite. The food was very nice. I will go again in the future I'm sure.

S. P.

A great find, I've been to many places on upper street and have to say this is on my favourite, the restaurant is beautiful and the food/service is even better. Will be visting again.

S. S. J.

Amazing Italian restaurant were the prices seems low and the service are high. Great variation on the menu cart.

M. L. H.

I loved this. Great price (£70 for lunch for the four of us including drinks). The service was friendly. The decor was lovely and it was located in a pleasant and quiet street.

F. B.

So yum and good prices. Lasagna is how my nona would make it if I had one and if I were Italian! Plus super friendly staff and nice (but not hip) atmosphere

B. E.

Nice place nice atmosphere, the food is alright but you need to check the bill eveytime as it happened quite often to me that it wasn't correct. Would still recommend that place.

P. C.

Adorable and amazing restaurant in the heart of Angel where the food is amazingly delicious, the staff is friendly and very professional, the decoration is something not to be missed!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

A. A.

(Translated) Excellent restaurant at an affordable price. We had a menu (until 6pm) for £ 10.9. We ordered a delicious salad with tomato, buffalo mozzarella, avocado and OIL, and then pizza (huge), all very good. There is gluten-free pasta so suitable for celiacs too. We really liked this little restaurant. (Original) Excelente restaurante a un precio asequible. Tomamos un menú (hasta las 6 de la tarde) pot 10,9£. Pedimos una ensalada riquísima con tomate, mozzarella de búfalo, aguacate y ACEITE, y luego pizza (enorme), todo muy bueno. Hay pasta sin gluten así que apto para celiacos también. Nos gustó mucho este pequeño restaurante.

B. S.

(Translated) I ate a delicious first course of seafood pasta. Very good. Pasta al dente like in Italy perfect sauce and a glass of Nero D'Avola red wine. All seasoned with the perfection of the service A special mention to the pizza chef Roberto. An exceptional and nice person. I would immediately make him general manager for his innate skills of empathy. (Original) Ho mangiato un delizioso primo di pasta ai frutti di mare. Buonissimo. Pasta al dente come in Italia sugo perfetto e un bicchiere di vino rosso Nero D'Avola. Il tutto condito con la perfezione del servizio Una menzione speciale al pizzaiolo Roberto. Una persona eccezionale e simpatica. Io lo farei subito general manager per le sue capacità innate di empatia.

(Translated) Beautiful place Gem hidden in Angel.First restaurant in which I was in London and never forgotten.Mix of styles and unique in its style.I recommend .... a little suggestion and to improve the heating I have been several times and I suffered the cold and if I can add to improve the quality of the meats in the Italian appetizer for what you pay you receive poor quality products. (Original) Posto bellissimo Gemma nascosta ad Angel.Primo ristorante in cui sono stato a Londra e mai dimenticato.Mix di stili ed unico nel suo stile.lo consiglio....un piccolo suggerimento e quello di migliorare il riscaldamento sono stato più volte ed ho sofferto il freddo e se posso aggiungere migliorare la qualità dei salumi nell' antipasto italiano per quello che si paga si ricevono prodotti di scarsa qualità.
