Che Vita

Lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. Although there were just a few customers in the restaurant, the service was confused and very slow. We had two people visit our table repeatedly, apologizing for the delay and trying to help us. Still, our wine didn't come for 20+ (maybe 30?) minutes. We shared some arancini and ordered the panzanella salad and a panino. The arancini were flavorful and had good texture inside and out. The panino was very salty and visually uninteresting (see pic). The panzanella salad was "deconstructed" (see pic.) The underripe tomatoes and pomegranate seeds were lacking real flavor. Cherry tomatoes might be a better year-round option. And some fresh herbs, please. The restaurant has a small sign. It was hard to find. It's in the bottom of the Hilton Hotel (see pic.)

From the moment we arrived at Che Vita, it felt like a true red carpet experience. We were warmly greeted by the sweet hostess with a pleasant smile, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The service throughout our visit was absolutely impeccable. Our server, Vee, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and provided fantastic recommendations that truly enhanced our meal. Our glasses were never empty, and every dish arrived promptly, bursting with fresh, delicious flavors and generous portions. Each bite showcased the high quality and passion behind the ingredients. We were also delighted by a gracious visit from the Manager, Chris, and to our surprise, Chef Fabio himself came to our table to personally welcome us. Dining at Che Vita was truly an impressive and memorable experience

From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The window view was a nice perk. Jovan is a terrific waiter and took exceptional care. The culinary team’s bite was a lovely treat. The baby kale salad was delicious and a very large serving. From there, the Romana Pizza was perfection, and I must say, the crust was the highlight. Could not pass up the Olive Oil cake, and it was light and lightly sweet, paired with the decaf cappuccino added the perfect balance. Will be back!

We ate breakfast at the hotel restaurant. We are not very big on buffet so it was good to have some single portion menu options. The Cristo sandwich was good but lacked a side of potato’s or something, and the Shakshuka with roasted potato’s was the best. The extra potato’s on the Shakshuka portion was enough to share! Good to see quality bread options for both entrees.

I stayed in the Hilton for work, and I had a fairly late night, so wandered down to the hotel restaurant for dinner. I was skeptical, as I am pretty hit or miss on enjoying hotel dinners, but Che Vita was a clear exception. From the moment I walked in, the experience was fantastic. Alex was a fantastic server, and we had a great conversation about the menu and what to order. I followed his recommendations and was very satisfied. I had the Acqua Pazza with Grouper as he suggested, and I was the perfect amount of food and tasted incredible. I almost asked for more bread to dip in the broth that was left over, but I saved room for the tiramisu, and I am so glad I did. Alex mentioned that it was the staff's favorite, and I can see why. The taste and texture was bar none some of the best that I
