"To make your visit to La Vita Bistro start out right, enter the doors closest to Main St. so you don't have to wind yourself through the entire crowded, cramped restaurant to get to the hostess stand. The hostess was exceptionally friendly, as was our waitress, Cecily. We were in a bit of a hurry, and she made sure to check back regularly, and bring our bill as soon as we were done eating. The interior of the bistro is cozy, warm, and nicely decorated, albeit crammed with too many tables and people. We started with their complimentary bread, which is delicious, following that with tomato and basil soup. Based solely on flavor, this was an excellent recommendation from our waitress. Unfortun...

The piedmont onion soup is worth it 's wait in gold!!! Salty onion broth with a creamy stringy cheese and a delicious crouton hiding below!!! It 's fantastic, we go for the soup and always try something with it and always say well at least the soup was wort it . The hand cut fries were decent but the burger was a dry over cooked store bought patty and as always there was something missing, the signature sauce wasn 't even on the dry lifeless burger. Honestly though, not mad because the soup is worth it.

My husband and I came here after we ran 50 miles. It was around 4:30pm and we got right in. The service was phenomenal! It was the best we had all year! The manager and by and the server kept checking in. We started with the antipasti! It was delicious and huge! The bread was warm and savory and the oil with the herbs was flavorful and delicious! Our mains came with soup or salad. My husband had Caesar and I had the minestrone. Both were delicious and perfect sizes. For mains, I had the bucatini bolognese and my husband had the ravioli bolognese. My bucatini was cooked perfectly and my husband loved his ravioli! We had plenty of leftovers to take with us and even the bottle of wine we had. I...

Located in the quaint downtown area of Pinckney, La Vita Bistro is a gem for those seeking a lively atmosphere and delicious food and drinks. The restaurant exudes a romantic ambiance with its dim lighting and soft music, making it ideal for a date night. Making reservations in advance is highly recommended, especially for popular occasions like Valentine's Day. The attentive waitress went above and beyond in providing wine recommendations tailored to my preferences, ensuring a perfect pairing with my meal. I opted for the La Crema, which did not disappoint. The balsamic carrot appetizer was a tasty start, with a perfect balance of sweetness and savoriness in the glaze. The mushroom chicken...
