Alex Johnson
Very poor take out experience. From the struggle to order to the tiny portions the experience was terrible. I had to have the young person at the bar after restart the order after he put in the wrong thing (adult order rather than kids). Order cheese ravioli and was shocked to see the pictured serving size which I was $20+. Definitely won’t be returning to this establishment.

Food and cocktails were delicious! Our waitress Ashley was amazing, will definitely be sure to come back when visiting Frankfort. The inside is cute and cozy and the back patio had great views of the water. Highly recommend!

My family and I came for lunch today and had a pretty bad experience. The food was good, however the service was really bad. The bartender was extremely rude and acted like he did not want to be there at all. Almost like he woke up regretting his career choice. After closing out our order we tipped 20% and closed it. The bartender then went out of his way to come up to us and ask if we were going to tip. Very rude after tipping more than $30 on a $120 bill. The waitress was better than the bartender, but she clearly did not want to be there. Working at a restaurant during peak busy season requires enthusiastic and hard working professionals and unfortunately the two working were the opposite. Unfortunate situation for a place with good food.

One of our favorite area restaurants. We try to get to Vita Bella whenever we are up north. I love everything about this place and the food and drinks are excellent. You may want to make a reservation. They are often busy!

We were seated in the front of restaurant and it was VERY LOUD. In retrospect, we should have asked to be moved outside. The street noise was MUCH quieter than our section of the restaurant. In addition to the NOISE, we waited over an hour for our food. Loud and a long wait – two of my “must haves” for a quality dining experience. The server seemed to be disinterested at best and never updated us on the status of our food or asked if we wanted any drinks while we waited. At one point my wife asked how much longer it was going to be, our server did apologize and offer us some complimentary bread. Once our main courses were finally delivered we found the food to be hot and fresh, but very poorly seasoned and we were not offered cracked pepper or parmesan cheese. Food was VERY bland! Restaurant was VERY loud. Wait was VERY long. We won’t be back.

Food was great. I liked the atmosphere… Except for the loud, drunk, golfers that came in. But I’m sure this doesn’t happen often. We will definitely be back again.

We requested a table inside, we thought they might have entertainment, not tonight. Either way they seated us on the porch, which was awesome, actually less noisy than the inside tables.

We attended a small wedding reception on the back patio of Vita Bella recently and we could not have been any happier with our experience!!!! The service was top notch and the food was outstanding! Ed helped my friends get their reception details squared away and he was courteous, kind and helpful troughout the process, Meghan and Mike were the main servers that waited on our group and they were some of the best servers we have ever had, they were truly phenomenal.
