La Vita è Bella — Restaurant in Gero

A pretty, small restaurant overlooking the Hida Creek, La Vita e Bella serves Italian cuisine made with local produces. The chef’s devotion to their philosophy of service can be sensed in his laborious division of dishes into small portions according to the number of the customers at the table. In addition to the heated bread they serve, as every self-respecting restaurant would do, another highlight worth mentioning is their three-some dessert set: the pink berry sober is richly and pleasantly tangy; the white pennacotta is surprisingly scented with Japanese mint leaves; and, the last but not the least , the twin-coloured tiramisu milky and sweet enough for me to remember it for a long...

This restaurant is wonderful! I loved the ambiance, views of the river, and of course the food.

My partner made a reservation for us while we were visiting the area and this was my favorite meal of the entire trip. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, and even spoke some English. Genuinely though, the food was wonderful. The appetizer, soup, fresh bread (yum), pasta and pizza were all some of the best food I've had. Best of all the space is relaxing and fairly small, so you can enjoy your dinner in peace.

If you are planning on visiting Gero Onsen, I highly recommend stopping by here! I plan on coming again myself as soon...

SUPER FRIENDLY WAITRESS AND AMAZING COOK!!! Their English is very good and they even speak some Italian. My Italian girlfriend and I were amazed by the meals. Appetizer, salad, bread, pasta, pizza and deserts, everything was perfect.

We highly recommend this restaurant, in case you are looking for some alternation to Japanese food after travelling for a couple of weeks.

In case, we come back to Gifu, we will definately stop by again.

Thank you very much! It was...
