    A lovely evening at Bar Vita. Very attentive service and delicious food. Creative cocktails. And a lovely chat with the owner. We are new to Peterborough and this is likely to become our favourite place to eat.

    The food and the drinks were fantastic. The sever was nice but in general there was a lot of waiting. We had to wait for a table even with a reservation. The food and drinks were very slow. We had drinks, an appetizer, mains and dessert. I will absolutely go back but book an earlier time slot.

    Sat near the door, very chilly. My daughter was not pleased with her meal. A little pricey.

    We love the BarVita but I think they were having an off night. My husband's dinner was a pasta and it was actually soupy and with my dinner, the steak was off. It was fine but it wasn't great. The pop in the rum colas was flat. We had excellent service and the entertainment was excellent as well (Blue's Duo), just the food was a little bit off tonight. We will go again but we didn't get that amazing dinner we normally have

    Very nice place. Remember - if you have more then 6 people, there is only one comfortable table to sit at. The booth is sooo cramped we asked to be moved. The other table was great.

    I recently dined at this cozy and quiet restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The atmosphere is perfect for special occasions, offering a serene and intimate setting. The food is delicious and rich in flavor, making each bite a memorable one. Two of my favorite appetizers are the Scallops Gorgonzola and Arancini. The scallops are perfectly cooked and paired with a creamy Gorgonzola sauce that adds a wonderful depth of flavor. The arancini are crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, making them a must-try. Overall, this restaurant is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enjoy a special meal in a cozy and quiet environment. Highly recommended!
