Alla Vita Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
So so good!!! We had several recs for great Italian
So so good!!! We had several recs for great Italian restaurants in Chicago and I am so glad we went with Alla Vita! I can't stop raving about it. Food and service were amazing!
Ok
Pleasant space, nicely decorated, friendly staff. The food is fine, but not great. Housemade pastas are heavy, not one with a simple Pomodoro sauce; the tagliatelle was underdone, the meat not tender. Margarita pizza nothing special. Limoncello, bizarrely, not on the menu– but they have it at the bar. Rhubarb cake very good. Annoyingly noisy when crowded. Be on the lookout for surcharges.
I went here my last night in Chicago, and I can truly say
I went here my last night in Chicago, and I can truly say it was great choice! Me and my family did make a reservation because we knew it was going to be crowded and I can say that you should do that if you can. Right when we walked in the ambiance took my breath away. Me and my sister shared the whipped ricotta for an appetizer and that was just alright, but my friend got the Kale Caesar. Although the Kale Caesar didn't really taste like your usual Caesar salad, it was still good. As well as that, I got the Cavatelli and it was great with just the right amount of spice. If I came back to Chicago, I def would come here again!
Loved this restaurant! Great drinks, great food, great
Loved this restaurant! Great drinks, great food, great service! The vodka rigatoni was amazing!!! The inside of the restaurant is so warm and cozy and the ceiling is so unique. A great place to come with friends and split a bunch of dishes to try the whole menu. Will definitely be coming back!
Came here with two close friends for restaurant week.
This is was my first and only restaurant week for lunch in 2024! It did not disappoint. We each had three courses and it was very delicious and in good portions. Service was swift and kind. I'm glad I finally got to try this place after hearing about it for so long. The decor is absolutely gorgeous!
The food at Alla Vita is as good as advertised.
The bread, with the orange honey sauce, is delicious, and very unique for an Italian restaurant. I had the Chicken Parm, which is their featued item, and is excellent. I will definitely be eating here again!
Great prices and location.
Food was amazing can't leave anything negative, our server Nicole was very attentive and nice. Would be back soon!
Do not get the chicken parm! It was a rubbery,
Do not get the chicken parm! It was a rubbery, ultra-processed "chicken" piece with a disturbing texture. What an absolute slap in the face for $34. Our waiter could tell we disliked the dish and avoided asking how the food was, instead asking if we would like to box up the "chicken." Reheated frozen Tyson chicken is significantly better than what we received. This was my first time at Alla Vita and after hearing such glowing reviews, was absolutely let down. Additionally, the famous rigatoni a la vodka was much too al dente for my preference. Borderline uncooked pasta shells. The Arancini was good, but painfully average.
When is the last time you said I LOVE THIS SALAD? My lunch
When is the last time you said I LOVE THIS SALAD? My lunch companion said the same thing! He enjoyed the Alla Vita Chopped while I sampled the Arugula & Apple Salad- Crunchy Hazelnuts, chewy farro, zesty pecorino, and a tart lemon tarragon vinaigrette came together in a perfect symphony of flavors. While the salads were gorgeous and tasty, the space is inviting and very hip, the service was impeccable. Especially because our business meeting took longer than expected and despite the lunch shift ending and the restaurant essentially closing between shifts, no one rushed us or even tried to take the signed paid check (that part we did promptly so not to keep our server. I went to the server and handed her the completed transaction just in case she was trying to get home. ) Thanks Alla Vita! Your patience was much appreciated.
Came here because I saw great reviews & even looked some up
Came here because I saw great reviews & even looked some up on YouTube. Took my bf for his birthday and the menus came with "happy bday ... on top" which was very sweet but they misspelled his name after I called and reserved & made sure I spelled his name out. I was a little disappointed with the taste of the food. The pricing was not worth the food. The place inside is beautiful and has a calm feel to it. My favorite item on the menu was the appetizer which we had bread with cheese.
The atmosphere was absolutely stunning.
The arancini balls were fantastic - definitely recommend!
Great new restaurant visit!!!
First time at this restaurant for lunch with a friend and I was not disappointed!!! I was immediately greeted as I walked through the door. The service was awesome and the Kale/Brussel Sprouts Cesar Salad was amazing!! It was entree size and very filling. Will definitely come back for dinner and try the pasta dishes!!
Top notch italian
One of the best fancy italian meals I've ever had. The place lived up to the immense hype online as well as from my colleagues who had eaten here previously. I didn't have to pay for this meal so factor that in but everything I had was delicious, full of flavor and prepared perfectly. We started with the Alla Vita chopped salad, meatballs and frito misto. Of those, I'd say the salad was the highlight. Then we had the Ricotta Dumplings which are as good as advertised and the Tagliatelle which was pasta with a meat sauce and also very good. For the next course we had the chicken parm which was probably the best I've ever had along with crispy potatoes and roasted broccolini. So much flavor on the sides, was really pleasantly surprised. Finally ended the night with the coconut ricotta mouse cake which was a perfect light chocolate dessert. Service was excellent and enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. The noise was not too loud so could easily carry on conversations with my table mates. Can't recommend this place enough for business or date night. Just don't bring the kids.
Middling Italian Cuisine
We found Alla Vita to serve up overall mediocre Italian cuisine, but question if our recent return from a trip to Italy sullied and tainted our culinary experience here by comparison?!? The food was swimming in overly dependent heavy sauces leaving nothing in particular to write home about save the large portioned Chicken Parmigiana that was worthy of a return engagement on its own merits. Service was somewhat lacking although incredibly accommodating on the side of the kitchen.
Great restaurant, great service, superb food.
Visited on 22/10/23. Really enjoyed it. The restaurant had a lovely ambiance and the service was great. And then we come to the food - oh wow!! I had the Ricotta Dumplings and honestly, it was one of the nicest meals I’ve ever had. Divine. I’ll be thinking of it until my (hopefully) next visit to Chicago.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
