Review Vita - Welwyn

Marta Foronda

We had dinner last night in this beautiful restaurant in Welwyn. The village is very beautiful and at night time all the pubs and restaurants are open. It is parking spaces which it is always great to have near by. We booked for six thirty and we were for tables arriving at the same time, all couples. The waitress were students, lots of them and they did a very good job. The food came as we ordered. The pizza was very tasty, same as the salad and the risotto. We wasn't fully up so we went for desserts. Good choices of tiramisu and profiteroles. I wanted to taste the coffee but probably another time during the day. They have near seventy sittings between up and downstairs. Big groups of people went straight upstairs. The owner comes out from the kitchen to talk with customers. Very friendly atmosphere and cosy place to celebrate with friends and partners. Very recommended restaurant for the variety of dishes in the menu.

We went into this restaurant for the first time on the 1st of July 23. We did not book and luckily we got a table straight away. The menu is large and varied, both my wife and I had a starter and a main meal. The dessert we shared. With this and two bottles of wine the total cost was around a hundred pounds. All the food we had was freshly made and full of flavour, the only downside was the dessert. Banofee pie, not so good but that didn't ruin the night. All the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, the chef kept coming out to talk to people. When we were in there we were told the card reader was not working so cash or a bank transfer was needed. This was not a problem for anyone

Vita was lovely, I must admit I have always preferred Aqua but as it's gone, Vita is now the only option, if you want Italian in the village. The food was good, bar the dessert. Tesco's Tiramasu is better, was very runny and not v flavoursome. Not sure there is much of an atmosphere but it was pleasant, staff were lovely.

Great restaurant, two Chicken Zaffarano Risotto as usual to standard I’ve enjoyed eating here for decade. Greeted served with friendly service as ever by owner/chef. As always chef delivered risotto to table with friendly service. Great unpretentious restaurant that’s about the food quality, authentic taste value always enjoyed here

Very friendly and great service. Truly enjoyed seafood pasta and tiramisu. Their lunch special is fantastic. Just add 2 pounds and you'll get a glass of wine and a hot drink!

Vita Ristorante is fantastic. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and the food is so delicious. The most authentic Italian I've had outside of Italy! Really recommend to anyone able to visit this restaurant, situated in pretty Old Welwyn town. We made the journey from Milton Keynes and did not regret it!

Visited twice now. Each time the food tasted good; especially enjoyed the chicken Risotto. Drinks a touch pricey and the sparking water was rather flat. However friendly and attentive service staff appeared to cope well despite the busy table service. If sitting downstairs, choose a table away from the door, especially on a cold night; could probably use an internal porch if space allowed.

I don't think we were in the same restaurant last night as the previous reviews. Service very haphazard. Left hand didn't seem to know what the right was doing. Got very confusing. When the food did eventually arrive was very disappointed with VERY small portion of the veal,Two tiny slithers and one tiny piece of ham, not enough for even a child.Then our friends beef Rib arrived. One tiny piece. Certainly not worth the price. The men left feeling hungry. The pizza was very bland as well. We were left feeling very disappointed as this restaurant had been recommended to us. We are very well aquainted with Italian restaurants. So don't mind paying for a nice meal,but this was so diassapointing and will not be going again.

My favourite local restaurant. Friendly staff and great food. Good for children also with a good selection of pasta and pizza. Well priced wine list. Reservations recommended on a Friday and Saturday as it gets booked up. Well worth a visit.

Second time eating here, on Saturday night. The restaurant had a large party in too, which can be an issue in other restaurants, but there were no delays in service or attentiveness from the lovely staff. And the food! Just fantastic! Will definitely be back �
