   Once again an evening to remember! Valentine's Day is a very important day in our "days of significance" and what better place to celebrate than at Vida Cucina. The 1st class atmosphere, wonderful waiter, and an outstanding selection of foods made the evening very enjoyable. Kudos to the wine expert who suggested a lovely bottle from the Piedmont area of Italy. Our 4th time there and we will be back!

   My husband and I dined at Vida on Valentine’s Day. Service was okay. It took quite a while for server to arrive at our table. Food was underwhelming, lacked seasoning and flavour. My cannoli was baked, dry on top and tough to cut. Server asked why I didn’t eat most of it and told him why, he just took my plate away not offering me anything else. My husband’s pasta was okay. Tolani Al Passo red wine was the best part. Was not worth the $450 we spent at this restaurant. Way overpriced!

   Food was good, not stellar but still very good. Service was fairly slow but still ok. We were hoping for something spectacular with the food so a bit disappointed but still, a solid experience.

   The food was a disappointment. The lamb was so tough that it was not edible. The fish was over cooked and dried. 2 of my guests had an upset stomach right after the meal. Not a pleasant experience.

   The service, ambience and setting was lovely! Cocktails and mock tails exactly what we ordered. The food was well prepared, be prepared for pasta Al dente. Wine suggestion was superb. Don’t skip dessert.

   Our waiter was Brian, and he was exceptional. Great advice on the menu, and portion sizes, and always attentive - sensing when we wanted him to pop over. The presentation and taste was fabulous. My Wife had the pesto gnocchi, and I had the lasagne. It is a little bit pricy for sure, but there is value for the cost. We will be back.

   Hello David, how wonderful to hear what amazing service you received by Brian and that you and you wife enjoyed your dining experience. We look forward to your return!

   An overall great experience. The food presentation and the food itself were both so so good. You can see the great care that was taken in preparation and presentation. The service was excellent. Will definitely be back to enjoy all the other items we didn't get to try. Will probably take a few more visits for sure ;)

    The ambiance was excellent with a tremendous staff. The food was extraordinary paired with excellent wine. Did not leave room for dessert but the options were impressive. Highly recommend
