Lovely time at Vino Vita. A wide selection of Italian wines and we got to try wines we hadn’t heard of before including Verdicchio. The garlic bread was also really good! Our waiter James was really friendly and happy to help. It felt like a small slice of Italy and would be very keen to try the mains as they looked really good.
Nice experience. James was excellent in attending and explaining the backstory of this place. Worth a visit!
We loved the ambience and the vibes. Milena was an absolute gem, would come back just to be served by her 😊
