I'll up it to 5 because it is very rare I find good Italian food around here. Been driving past this place for so many years and finally decided to stop for take-out. The salad that came with the entree was absolutely delicious. Usually I throw the side salads out they are so bad. The chicken parm was huge, tender, flavorful and the best we've had in the area. The spaghetti was also perfectly al dente with a surprisingly delicious sauce -- neve had a good side of pasta for take-out as usually it is mush. Chicken paillard was okay-- not as flavorful as hoped. Service was very friendly and would definitely return for that chicken parm and salad!

My spouse and I tried this place for the first time and were not disappointed. Everything about our experience was wonderful. The Sunday brunch food was delicious and there were several options to choose from for each course. The staff were very polite and friendly. The restaurant is very charming and romantic. Love that they seated us in front of the fireplace too. We greatly enjoyed our meal and will be returning.

We had an excellent dinner at La Vista! Everything we ordered was outstanding! From the clams oreganata, to the gnocchi with ragout, the linguine with vongole, and the cheesecake dessert, we enjoyed every bite! Service, drinks and wine were top notch! ❤️

My husband and I recently tried this place - it’s a bit of a drive for us but we love trying new places and this one came highly recommended. I also love a good fireplace atmosphere and La Vista did not disappoint - ambiance is warm and romantic. Service is 10/10. We had apps, entrees and dessert - all an absolute 10/10 all of the food just wow! We had Cappuccinos with dessert probably the best cappuccino I’ve had at a restaurant in recent years - that’s how I expect (hope) cappuccinos to taste every time. My only complaint is about the wine. Really nice wine, smooth and delish but I would have liked a full pour. The pour was small, probably the smallest I’ve seen out and the waiter spilled a quarter of it on the table with no apology. Being such a small pour I was disappointed to have some of it on the table. For that reason I did not order a second glass. A bit of a drive for us but if we are in that area again will certainly return.

Our first time dining with another couple and our party of four loved the restaurant. Excellent food and very professional service. Our server was there for 9 years and we loved having an expert server with a fun personality. The restaurant is very nice. Great decor, lighting, candles, fireplace going, really a nice place. The food was very good, cocktails, appetizers, entries, everything. Not inexpensive but good value with many entrees under $30. Highly recommended. We will be back soon for visit #2.

A cold and icy day, and we and other Staying Put in Neww Canaan members enjoyed a delicious lunch. The food was superb, and the service was impeccable.

We've been to La Vista a few times in the past, always for lunch. This time we went to the Sunday brunch. I found the food not as high quality as in the past. Otherwise, we like this restaurant and staff very much so we'll return for lunch another day.

What an all around fabulous dining experience at La Vista! We always enjoy dining here as the food is excellent and along with the regular menu, which offers so many wonderful choices, they always have superb specials. Plus, the staff is top notch. Last night the restaurant was absolutely lovely as they still had the Christmas decor up and a fire in the fireplace (a real wood burning fire!). We so enjoyed our evening!

Highly recommended. Family run restaurant with excellent food and friendly service. Cozy atmosphere. Remy, the owner/chef, comes out the kitchen and visits each table, greeting customers and checking on things. He even shared homemade Sambucca with us from his private stash. You can dress casually, and have a great meal. A hidden gem.

We have had the extreme pleasure of dining at La Vista always a wonderful meal. Chef Remy prepares some food table side and it makes the evening special. The chilean Seabass is absolutely delicious. Christina is a wonderful hostess and they try to make your evening very special

This was one of the few restaurants open on Christmas Day and we decided to try it out. The service was excellent with the waiters giving you enough space but at the same time ready to serve you. The food was perfect. Overall we loved our experience and will eat here again.
