Godi La Vita melted cheese-wheel pasta has become a legend in Adelaide. Three different cheese are matched with different past and cooked in front of your eyes by chef Federico. The modern italian cuisine at Godi La Vita is an experience you need to try to recommend to your friends. Other great dishes are the one kg Deep Pan Pizza which is thick and loaded with ingredients, perfect for sharing the pizza-love with your friends. House made gnocchi are the softest potato pillows that will melt in your mouth, but before you start your meal you have to try our famous cheesy garlic bread, and to finish home made desserts as tiramisu semifreddo or chocolate tortino.

Was recommended by a friend and had a great experience. Service was prompt, waiting staff friendly and food was delicious. The cheese wheel dish I personally ordered was incredible, a generous serving with amazing flavours. I will definitely visit again to sample more of the menu and enjoy the ambience.

This is not the first time I have been here, generally I don’t have any concerns however this time I am now a mother and there was no baby change facility for my baby. Thanks that went wrong… I never got the drink I ordered, my friend found the arancini balls overly and unexpectedly sweet and the tiramisu was hard/frozen in the middle. I would still go back though, I enjoyed the table water and my pasta dish.
Godi La VitaResponded on December 8, 2024
Hello Samantha Thank you for your feedback about your experience. We will looking into improvement about the baby changing station in the near future. I also apologise for the drink that you didn’t received during your time here, however, please note that you always can raise your concern to one of our friendly staff members so we can fix it up for you straight away to improve your experience. Our arancini is a mixed of flavour with main ingredients are pea and mint, therefore, it could be on the sweeter side. Looking forward to see you again.

the cheese wheel description is a bit misleading as it is a very cheesy plate of pasta not an actual cheese wheel, that said the food was pretty good and very tasty. price is a bit higher than many restaraunts but worth it so dont let that stop you. Service was a bid off with one server not really knowing much about a dish we cc asked about. Overall We Will be back.

I felt we were forgotten often with services as we were placed on a counter top. Many times where we had to wave someone down to order more drinks or food. The waiters/ waitress kept walking past and didnt even look at us. We had to get other customers to wave them down for us. I was fine sitting there but sadly disappointed with services
