“ Food was delicious and a really fun atmosphere. It is a smaller space so make sure to book a reservation if you go in a group. They do accommodate for larger groups upstairs. Service was great. We will be back again soon. ”
“ EDIT: After our experience last time, we came back and asked for a specific server like they told us to and got Sandi! She was very nice and attentive! She apologized for the situation and explained why it had happened. They took great care of us and the food was delicious!! Definitely will be back!!! We arrived a little after 8. We were sat and then never helped again! We waited about 20 minutes and no waiter ever came. They helped the big party next to us but never came over to us. Extremely disappointed because we were coming for a family birthday and I have loved my experiences before! Their food is so good and I was so disappointed that I wasn’t able to have any. ”
“ The food is amazing. I've been here twice now and every time it's been impressive. The atmosphere is very nice and open, especially love the upstairs balcony. It's open and a nice soft lighting. Makes me feel like I'm in a nice light for a night date. The service is amazing and very kind. The noodles were done el dante and the shrimp I had in my Garlic shrimp pasta was perfectly cooked. The tomato soup was rich, and very savory. The salad was fresh, nothing brown or old and the ranch was good as well. I absolutely love this place. They mix their adult beverages well. I would suggest the restaurant themselves also give a drink menu to the customers with the regular menu, as the amount of drinks they have is more than what is one the main menu. One adult drink I absolutely loved was the hot chocolate with a chocolate liquor in it. ”
“ I’ve been to Bona Vita a few times and in the words of our favorite cereal mascot, Tony the Tiger: “THEY’RE GREEEEAAAT”. I’ve tried both the Cajun shrimp and Salmon pasta dish (I forgot the name) and they were both really good! The service is awesome and Gage is an awesome server! It doesn’t take much to get 5 stars out of me on things but this place really deserves it. ”
“ Love this place! The atmosphere is nice, the bread and oils are wonderful, AND the meals are incredible. We’ve made this a regular stop on our trips to SLC. ”
“ This place was very good Italian food. The pasta was great and the service was great. Only thing that has room for improvement is the sound control. Maybe they could add sound absorbing material. But other than that, very satisfied. ”
“ Tasty bites at a good price! Update: 2nd time I noticed Best Burger on their awards, so enjoyed the gorganzola burger. Yum! Went with three kids, 10 and under, and everybody liked their food. Kids loved the raspberry italian soda. Didn't personally care for the sausage ravioli, a bit too peppery, but the butternut squash ravioli with funghi mushroom sauce was delicious. Generous portions for the kids. Quick, friendly service. A great find! ”
“ What a great spot to eat! We checked out another sandwich shop and decided to come here instead. I was surprised to see their prices were better than a fast food shop. We ended up trying the coconut shrimp, Gorganzola burger and the pesto chicken sandwich. 100% satisfied! The complimentary bread with balsamic vinegar and olive oil was great and unexpected as well. We will definitely come back and would recommend trying this restaurant. Our Waitress Avery was kind, quick, and helpful. Thanks for a great lunch Bona Vita! ”
