One of our party had been before and raved about the kebabs so three out of our party of six ordered the chicken kebabs and said it was ok. You’d honestly think there would have been an option of a flat bread and various sauces...to make it more authentic, not just chips or rice. The smallest ramekin of ‘sauce’ was for all of the three dinners….. The tomato, ham and mushroom risotto had very little ham and was made with basmati rice. Risotto is made with risotto rice and is associated with Italian cuisine. Basmati is associated with many cuisines but mainly Indian or Pakistani…. The carbonara was bland and should have pancetta or at the very least, bacon. The meat in this one was more like cold meat cut into bits. Credit where it’s due, the salmon La vita was delicious. Three of the party had desserts and they all loved them! We had a birthday cake with us and one had a slice of that which the server brought to the table. Overall, we were disappointed in the food. Nothing special, overpriced and we won’t be back.More

First time here although my friends had all been before. Have to say was very happy with price, food and service. We all had something g different sow as good to compare. We all loved our food absolutely no complaints. The serving staff were all...lovely and very attentive. Knowledge of food very good. Only gave 4 star as I feel the ambiance need a bit of tweaking. Perhaps lowering the lights and light candles on tables. Room was very bright and not very cozyMore

I have been here twice and wasn't particularly wowed by anything on either occasion. On the first occasion, I phoned ahead to check they had a particular type of food on the menu (I forget which type of food) and I was told it would...be available. However, when we turned up, it was not on the menu. I'm unsure if I was told it was on the menu just to get a customer through the door. The place itself isn't very atmospheric or Italian feeling. You would be forgiven for thinking you were in a garden centre tea room. The food is adequate, bordering on average. I always begrudge paying to eat at an Italian restaurant because the food is generally cheap to make, so I expect something special on the odd occasion that I visit somewhere serving this sort of cuisine. Unfortunately I didn't get anything special at La Vita. I could have produced something just as good at home, for a smaller price. Not for me, I'm afraid.More

Had heard good things about this place so thought we'd give it a try. On entering there was a strong smell of cheap bleach which put me off right away. However we were welcomed promptly and taken to a nice table. The menu was very...limited. I had the garlic mushrooms to start with which weren't particularly pleasant. The prawn cocktails looked OK but nothing outstanding. We had a bottle of chianti which was nice and a bottle of Italian sauvignon blanc which was pretty bad and not very cold but we drank it anyway. The pizzas were absolutely delicious but the carbonara was a bit tasteless. Service was good and the waiting staff were friendly. The lighting is far too bright. Defeats the purpose of the nice little candles on the tables. No need for these bright ceiling downlighters. Just doesn't create the right ambience. Overall an average experience and I'd be reluctant to recommend.More

Visit regularly and always same great food and service.., even when it's busy like this evening. Staff are always friendly and helpful

It is very rare for us to say when visiting a new place that we want to go back a second time on our second night. We went for the chicken kebab with rice, a chicken kebab with chips, a pepperoni pizza with chips and...chicken cooked in a mushroom and cream sauce. It is an Italian restaurant and the chicken kebab was cooked perfectly, the meat was tender and was very tasty. The pepperoni pizza was not at all greasy and was of a good size. The mushroom and cream sauce with the chicken was lovely. All very tasty, absolute compliments to the chefs working there, they should be very proud of themselves. The service was great and for a three course meal was very good value for money. If we were ever near Edinburgh again, we would definitely book this restaurant again.More

Great place to eat! Takeaway is just as good! Thank you for all your hard work. Would highly recommend to anybody in the local area

having some free time on our hands for the last month, we invariably find ourselvers dropping in for a lunch pasta, pizza and spaghetti all great, pricing acceptable but how about a loyalty card ? :)

Have visited this restaurant twice with different friends this month. Cannot fault the service, staff are really friendly and the food is great.

We visited for a family birthday, booking just half an hour before arriving. We had a great time! Very fast service, good quality Italian food+ burgers etc and vegetarian options. Very friendly and welcoming service. Great, lively background music and great local atmosphere. Not posh...and uncomfortable in any way - good happy atmosphere and happy staff. Popular with locals including all age groups from young to old. We had a relaxing meal, enjoyed the food and the atmosphere very much and will visit again. Nice to see young children and babies being positively welcomed. Very clean and all covid precautions were in place, very reassuring. Thank you.More

We ordered for my mums 50th birthday so was a order of over £100 and we couldn’t fault it the food was piping hot, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it and they sent a bottle of wine on the house as a thank you for...the large order and the driver was really pleasant and friendly couldn’t fault it.More

Cannot recommend this place high enough. Eat in or take away the food quality and service is first class.
