La Vita is a real hidden gem in Laval. It will surely become your favorite place, whether for a pizza on the go or a more elaborate meal.
The fired-up pizza oven, the fresh pasta made on site, create a warm atmosphere. The tender meats accompanied by a unique sauce are quite remarkable. The smiling and attentive staff always offers superb service. The menu has a variety of succulent dishes of the utmost freshness.
All this without breaking your budget because the prices are more than reasonable. A must try!
Reviewers consistently praise La Vita for strong Italian fare, highlighting fresh pasta and pizza with a crispy crust, flavorful antipasti, and veal, along with excellent, friendly service and a welcoming, lively ambiance. Several comments note generous portions, attentive staff, and a space that works well for groups or special occasions, while a few observations mention minor drawbacks such as loud music from a DJ, a wish for improved bathroom facilities, and the occasional comment about the vibe being a bit quirky. Overall, guests describe a memorable dining experience with high marks for food and service and a desire to return.
Well here we are. A couple of years ago we gave this place a good rating.
Now, everything is changed.
Twice in less than 2 months we were refused service.
The first time I walked in to order & take home.
The place was hopping but the restaurant seemed opened.
The waiter quickly said that he was too busy to tend to us
I was told that they couldn't produce any food for us (returning customers). I left frustrated & tried to be understanding.
Calld tonight.' I would like place an order, I can pick it up in 1/2 hour?'
'Sorry we're having a private event we can't serve you'
Wow! 2 out of 2!
You win buddy, 1 ⭐? review for not caring about your fateful customers.
If I could give 6 stars to this restaurant, I would. We did our son's baptism at La Vita & everything was above & beyond our expectations. The owner & staff were wonderful & extremely helpful. The food was excellent & they were able to accommodate all the possible allergies & intolerances my guests had. I would definitely recommend & come back again & again. Thank you La Vita staff!

I went yesterday to the restaurant, & I had many types of ANTIPASTO, 2 types of PASTA & also the VEAL. I have to say the food was VERY GOOD. I'm very picky about food ,& I cook a lot, so i recognized when the food is good or not. The food yesterday was very good. 5 sta
Exceptional dining experience! The pasta & pizza are freshly made, bursting with flavor, & perfectly prepared. The ambiance is delightful, & the service is outstanding. Highly recommended!
On my recent visit to Laval for a concert at Place Bell I had 2 great dinners at LaVita. I was travelling solo so sat at the bar & watched the hockey games. Got an opportunity to chat with Abby, one of the owners, & a super friendly guy.
The recommended Arancini appy & Pasta were great.
Space seems perfect for group get togethers. I hope to bring my family there soon on my next time in Montreal & try the Wood Fired Oven pizza.
