Dim lighting and a European ambience make La Vita an enticing romantic dinner stop for couples. The restaurant offers a large selection of Italian dishes, serving both lunch and dinner, but specializing in dinner. On late weekend evenings, couples and singles favor La Vita's bar for engaging conversation and socializing. In the summer, all eleven French windows are opened for a romantic breeze, or you admire the city from the rooftop dining area.
