Tried Bar Vita this evening. Staff was welcoming and the ambiance is great. Meaghan was our waitress and she was exceptional. The cocktails, appetizers and meal were fantastic. Finished with a lovely cappucino and tiramisu. From start to finish, this was a fantastic experience. Can’t wait to return and try all the other wonderful items on the menu. Chef did a fantastic job.

Highly recommend Bar Vita! My friends and I had a much needed girls night out and the staff went above and beyond to make our night so special for us Where do I start?! The food was SO delicious. We all couldn’t decide because everything sounds so amazing, so we shared a bit of everything off of the menu—best idea ! The ambiance was so beautiful it was like we were the only group there but the restaurant was busy. I will definitely be going back for date night and future events!

My husband and I went here for the first time the other night based off our friends strong recommendation and we’re so glad we did! The restaurant has a very cozy and classy atmosphere and extremely clean. Our server was so friendly and pleasant as well. But when it comes to the food - I can’t even begin to explain how great it was! We ordered the meatballs as a starter and you could tell the sauce and meatballs were so fresh and a great size. I don’t usually order gnocchi but I decided to try their gnocchi dish with spicy sausage in a red pesto with toasted pine nuts and honestly it was the best thing I’ve ordered in a restaurant thus far. I was SO excited to see such a unique and flavourful dish appear and the gnocchi was not overpowering the dish or make it feel ‘heavy’ at all. The owner Marty who is so pleasant stopped to chat with us and told us it is rolled and made FRESH in house and you can definitely taste the difference between a fresh pasta and most other restaurants with frozen and reheated food. My husband ordered their burger and fries and loved it - the fries have a great and generous seasoning to them. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant and the only thing that upset me was that I forgot my leftover container on the table when we left! :( Was so looking forward to having it for lunch the next day. We will definitely be returning!

One of the Best Dishes I've Ever Eaten in my Life. Fine Dining done right. The White Wine with the Heirloom Tomatoes to bring together the Pancetta Pork & the Scallops is UNBELIEVABLE. First time trying scallops & it's so AMAZING.
