We celebrated our daughter's 18th birthday dinner at La Vista. It was a perfect night. The weather was dreamy, the service was friendly and the view was outstanding. We got there at 7:30 (reservation) and left at 10:45. I love how you are never rushed to eat in Italy. The sunset was magnificent. The seared tuna was done perfectly and the lamb shank with potatoes was outstanding. We were a group of 6 and every meal was delicious. This is a special treat evening for any memorable dinner event!

We had eaten here a few years before so the view was one of my reasons for dining following my proposal at our Hotel.
They arranged 12 red roses and finest Prosecco in advance and the view remains awesome as the sun sets over the lake.
The occasion and the setting would have made this meal great regardless of the food, however the Quality of our meal enhanced the night.
Melon and Prosciutto were brought to a different level with Mint and truffle sorbet alongside and the gnocchi with squid ink and baby squid excellent. Tournedos Rossini with a bottle of Ripasso was sublime but my (now) Fiancé's seafood bisque Ravioli .... Speechless.

Thanks guys for making this the most special occasion.

It was a bit too breezy, cool, and drizzly to sit on the outside deck, but that's where you'll want to be on an agreeable evening, and yes, a reservation is must. Food and wine menus, preparation, presentation, service, and ambiance here are all excellent. Service is especially a cut above other local establishments.
