"We love coming to Vita! Whether it’s a quick stop for their home made gelato or a night out for dinner, we know we are always going to get a solid product. The pasta is very fresh, and they offer a variety of other Italian dishes which always hit the spot. And the gelato is 10/10. Best spot in Philly!"

"We’ve always loved dining at Vita — for the food, the atmosphere, and the warm hospitality — but hosting our wedding party there took everything to another level. From the moment we started planning, the owners Massimo and Ana made us feel completely supported and understood. They took care of everything — the decorations, the food, the organization — with such thoughtfulness and care, it truly exceeded our expectations. The space looked absolutely beautiful on the night of the event — elegant, cozy, and full of charm. It felt like an extension of everything we already loved about Vita, just elevated for such a special occasion. As always, the food was outstanding. Every dish was perfectly prepared, full of authentic Italian flavor, and served with impeccable timing. We knew it would be good — because it always is — but somehow it was even better than we imagined. Our guests were blown away! The entire evening ran so smoothly thanks to the amazing staff, who were kind, professional, and incredibly attentive. A heartfelt thank you to Massimo and Ana for making our wedding celebration unforgettable. Your passion and warmth shine through in everything you do, and we’re so grateful we could celebrate such an important moment with you. If you’re looking for a place that combines excellent food, beautiful ambiance, and people who truly care, Vita is it."

"Disappointed, we ordered four dishes. Beef tartar has no flavor. Crudo fish hard to chew. Risotto is okay. Steak is ridiculous, definitely not high quality steak, when you put that much sauce on it, you don’t taste the meat, but the texture is obvious, not good. And the flavor is not good either. We also had the tiramisus, grocery store level quality. In my opinion, either everything is pre-prepared, or the chef is that bad. Service is ridiculous too, waitress didn’t smile at all, took my cocktail away before I finished and ask me if I want another one. Please learn what is customer service, or go to an eye doctor."

"Highly recommend this Philly gem with a fun, speakeasy entry experience. Started with Focaccia and Broccolini Caesar - AMAZING! Balanzoni dish was fresh and the portion was just right. Went out front to Vita’s Gelateria for dessert. So many options, made in-house! The dark chocolate was superb! The owner even took time to greet our table and engaged in our banter. 5 stars!"

"What a nice quant little gelato spot in the city, I take the train down probably once a week now to walk around, get myself an affagotto. With the flavors changing so frequently makes it great, pistachio is So so good, the people are awesome at the counter, always friendly and cheerful. Haven’t had the pleasure of eating at the restaurant yet,but there will be a day."
