La Vita Spuntini City Centre Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Food was great, staff friendly and helpful."
• "They offer a great tasting menu where you can order three small dishes. I ordered the pizza, spicy potato bites and garlic bread and it was all great, really nice flavours and good value for money."
• "For the main I really like the pasta Penne Mia Casa, was so nice."
• "We had one of their sharing dishes plus a few sides (Carbonara, parmesan fries, garlic bread and 5" pizza) and everything was delicious and extremely reasonably priced."
• "The food was piping hot and plentiful the deserts were huge and rounded off our meal, it was very reasonably priced 10/10."
• "Honestly I’ve been to many Italian restaurants when on holidays in Italy but food here is simply amazing."
• "Food was nice but service was a bit of an issue for our visit here."
• "The food was delicious and well presented."

Cons:

• "The restaurant was really busy, we opted for the Christmas menu. I had the pate which arrived looking whipped, almost like chocolate frosting. There was so much, I didn't enjoy it."
• "Service felt rushed and didn’t feel like we were looked after very well. Menu’s were scrappy and crinkled and things on the table felt a bit sticky."
• "With the starters we got served stale bread also."
• "The only way I can describe the taste and smell of the mussels is faeces."
• "My pasta dish was decidedly overcooked and the cream sauce had been absorbed almost completely into the pasta itself!"
• "Food was dissapointing. When the order was took we felt rushed, poor customer service, waitress just eager to get away."
• "The waiter was very pushy and rushy taking our order and seemed in a bad mood."
• "Don't go here if you are vegan. Picked 3 vegan dishes and they were really bad."

Service and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The decor is beautiful, inside and out, the whole place is very clean and well laid out and the staff were very attentive and friendly."
• "The atmosphere was superb. We were seated upstairs and it was very cosy and exceptionally hot, Waiting Staff were quick to serve and friendly, cocktails were delicious."
• "The restaurant is nicely decorated and and has a warm feel to it but the food is awful."
• "Every place you look there is something beautiful here. The food is delicious, cooked with exceptional skill and the service was friendly and accommodating."
• "Beautiful restaurant with lovely staff, very friendly and all have a great sense of humour."
• "The atmosphere is really quite nice, isn't overly posh where you feel you need to be quiet etc. It is very energetic and big enough."
• "Visited for the 1st time for the Christmas set lunch a few weeks ago and the food was spectacular, I'm still thinking about the pasta!"
• "Always loved this restaurant. However today, 1st December, we were sat under air conditioning and were frozen.. It was -2 outside."

Cons:

• "We didn't like where our table was sitting which was right next to the stairs leading to toilets."
• "Wouldn’t hurry back. Went for my Dad’s 60th birthday for lunch. Service was near non existent, staff loudly bickering about mistakes they’d made at other tables."
• "First class meal, and first class service. Everything was just great. A post graduation treat for our daughter, Sarah, and it was fabulous."
• "Would give zero stars but no option. This restaurant buys cheap poor quality ingredients and charges a fortune."
• "Nice interior design and comfortable seats. Some of the staffs are really friendly and helpful."
• "Terriable Service. Was really looking forward to this night out, but won't go back to spuntini's any time soon, staff were rude had to complain about the service multiple times."
• "Very tasty food and good service. The portion sizes are HUGE so it's definitely value for money, but be mindful of how much you order if you don't want to waste anything..."
• "Food was poor quality, pinot grigio by the glass didn't taste anything like a pinot, was undrinkable, the waiter was rude and took away our plates which were all half full and didn't ask how the food was."
