La Vista Ristorante Italiano — Restaurant in Town of Lewisboro

La Vista Ristorante is more than just a fine dining experience, it's a place that makes you feel like home. My boyfriend and I spent New Years Eve here and did the full course pre-fix menu for a spectacular dinner.

To start, La Vista's staff is some of the most professional and customer oriented people I've ever met. The General Manager; Kos, is a lively individual who made sure to check up on our table multiple times on top of keeping his staff organized and on point throughout the night.

When it came time to order food, we looked over the menu and saw a scrumptious selection of entrees. My boyfriend wanted to order the lobster dish and was told that they had run out. This was completely understandable because we had come much later in the night and they had been extremely busy throughout the day/night. Kos told us that because the Lobster ran out, he had substituted another item which was to be even better than the Lobster; Stuffed Dover Sole w/ Crab & Shrimp. Being the fish lovers that he is, he couldn't resist.

As food began hitting the table we instantly noticed the amount of perfection put into each plate. Your food comes out to you exactly at the moment its best to be served. There are no wait times in the back of the kitchen thats for sure! Their head chef and owner Remy is an absolute artist in the kitchen. Each plate is beautifully presented and paired with the best ingredients. The food looks great and tastes even better!

When our main courses arrived we both were in awe. My boyfriend, before a little upset that he had been looking towards having lobster, was very surprised at how delicious the Dover Sole was. Cooked to perfection, this thick piece of succulent fish was stuffed with delicious fresh crab and large shrimp, and served on a plush bed of parmesan risotto. It completely blew his mind! You couldn't get a better fish dish even if you were right by the sea!

Now fully satisfied with our very robust meal we began to shift our focus to the entertainment they had for the night. Up in the front of the restaurant was the Jay Prince Band, a very talented group of musicians and singers who got the whole place feeling lively and fun. Everyone around us was up and dancing! Theres few times that you'll see a fine dining restaurant turn into such an exciting atmosphere and La Vista Ristorante hit it right on the head!

At the end of the night they had a champagne toast and everyone was excited for 2018! The Owner and Staff gathered everyone together and raised a toast to the new year! It was a special moment indeed, we haven't felt this great about being out at a restaurant in a long time!

It is a great pleasure to say that La Vista Ristorante Italiano is the best Italian restaurant we have ever been to! It's more than just great food, and great service.... they truly understand what brings people together and makes them feel special over a nice warm meal: FAMILY. They make you feel like you're their family too. We will always have a special place in our hearts for La Vista Ristorante. Because when we are...

I have dined there on four occasions. Let me bullet note my thoughts:

Atmosphere was lovely sat by the fireplace.

Food was ok, my wife got fish filleted at the table, but also got a lot of bones. She didn't finish it for that reason. She loved the tase just not the bones. I got the lobster and shrimp appetizer one shrimp three sauces and the small cups of sauce were less than half full. My steak NY strip was cooked perfect great size, awesome flavor.

Staff: Keith was our server along with Leo. They were polite just not very friendly kind of meh. When they asked if they could get us a drink from the bar my wife ordered her usual a “toasted almond” which Keith said they don't make 🤔.

When Keith spoke the specials which he memorized masterfully. He was softer spoken, had a medium strong accent and with the music playing it was hard to hear him and make out what he was saying. Leo was attentive to the drinks, but still not overly engaging. However the man who removed our plates and delivered the food (mad I didn't get his name) he was GREAT! Smiled, polite, engaging which elevated our experience.

For the price I would expect friendlier service.

The first two times I visited was during the day for lunch and was pleased both time Kosa took care of me and was great all around. The third time was for our sons engagement party it was a large group fixed menu and it was fine.

This time I took my wife our for a date night and this was our dinner.

Made a reservation for today if La vista would like to reach out to me they can find my phone number in the reservation...

Went here on a whim and had excellent service and interesting experience. Koc was my server/bartender though multiple employees served me throughout my dinner. I was completely impressed the the service and quality of food. It is a type of farm to table type concept though with a unique flair of flavor. My initial intentions were to try the steak though a smoked double pork chop special was offered and decided it was worth a try. Upon seating, I was provided fresh homemade bread, a sundried tomato sauce, cheeses, and olives, freshly grown on site. Koc then offered Albanian peppers as a sample and were absolutely delicious with the right spice. When my meal arrived, I was a little intimidated as it was a huge serving of food. The smoked pork chop was done to perfection with an interesting blend of cooked peppers, potato, and a type of sweet sauce on the meat. I was in heaven and of course could not finish it all. I elected to take the remainder home and to my surprise, as I reheated the leftovers, it became better and better and feed me for three days. It’s rare to be this ecstatic for a meal though was thoroughly pleased for three days from my visit. The chef, staff, and ownership were amazing. And to cap off a great experience, a 14 year Balvenie was had for dessert. I highly recommend a bit of experimenting with their recommendations if...
