    My husband and I tried La Vita in the acme shopping center in Vineland. We said after our meal we would return again. It is a byob, but they also offer full bottles of wine from a NJ winery. I enjoyed the salad bar and all the side salads such a potato salad and two pasta salads were very tasty. Salad bar offered many choices and dressings. If you order an entree you can chose to have the salad bar for an additional $3. You get soup with your entree, for an additional $3 can upgrade to seafood bisque, which was loaded with seafood. I show that in one of my pics. I had the lobster Ravioli with crabmeat, asparagus and tons of good! Sun dried tomatoes with a blush sauce. They also have brick pizza oven so we took home a margarita pizza to try at a later date. Service was excellent! Try LaVita seems like they have something for everyone! Menu is full of things we want to try.

    This is the Spinach and Ricotta white pizza.

    Newly reopened after a few decades being closed. The pizzas were top notch and the veal Parmesan was incredible! Service and ambiance was perfect also.

    First I would like to say we LOVE Five Points food & service normally. But have never been on a…read moreFriday or Saturday. SOOO crowded. Our group of 7 were seated in the middle of the dining room by the beer cooler & kitchen access. Conversation was impossible & every server kicked my chair because I was so close to the booth behind us they could not get around without tripping over me. Normally we love the food however, the Seafood Fa Diavolo is something to avoid. The crab is not lump, it is canned & shredded into the marinara gravy & so heavy on the linquine it was hard to taste the pasta. Service was adequate but once served she did not come back to ask if everything was ok because I would have sent my dish back & ordered something else. When someone did ask me why I didn't eat anything & there was a large heaping of tomato/crab gravy on my bread plate she thought I was joking when explaining how horrible it was. Anyway, we will return because we truly love the cheese steaks, mussels, gnocchi, pizza & other dishes. It was a special night & thought I would get something special. Didn't happen.

Nice little…read moresetup outside, but heavy truck and biker traffic can make it noisy sometimes, no fault of the restaurant. Had a good experience with a server when we first came. She instructed us to meet with the hostess inside to get a table on the patio. My wife was in a wheelchair and she told us she'd bring the hostess out. Very nice. We had a nice table on the patio, but I have to say the metal chairs weren't that comfortable. Our server, who was very pleasant, came over and took our order. For dinner my wife had the ravioli and I had the shrimp fra diavolo. Each dinner came with either soup or salad and bread. The salad was very good. Nice crisp greens and lettuce with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, shredded carrots, and other fresh ingredients. The Italian dressing we got with it tasted good. The bread was nice and crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. A nice start to the meal. My wife enjoyed her ravioli. For me I got my meal over rice instead of pasta which was fine. The shrimp was cooked nice, but with the tails on. I know it's just a pet peeve of mine, but I hate dipping my hands in sauce to remove the tails. The sauce itself had one of the best amounts of spice from a fra diavolo i'd ever had. However, I can't say too much about the sauce itself. I wasn't a fan of the taste. Almost tasted like a sauce you'd get in a store. My biggest issue was at the end of the meal. Our waitress all but disappeared. I wanted to get our leftovers boxed and get the check. She wasn't even out on the patio for almost the entire time the singer took her break. Actually I barely saw any of the servers for awhile until the hostess came out and I flagged her down to get our server. Another issue that I wasn't too happy about is that the waitress couldn't take my card to pay for the meal. I had to leave my wife, who has alzhiemer's, alone while I went into the restaurant to pay at the hostess stand. Except for a diner, what restaurant requires you to pay at the hostess stand. If their prices were much lower I could see it, but making your patrons get up and pay was kind of stupid.

Service was slow, as stated by other reviewers, but w/ such a small staff what can ya do. Below is what I ordered and my rating: Chef's Special Chicken Marsala w/ Carbmeat and Shrimp 4 out of 5 Sweet Potato Fries 5 out of 5 House Salad with House Dressing 4.5 out of 5 The Chicken Marsala would be a higher rating had it been a little more put together. It was just the chicken with a few pieces of shrimp and crabmeat on top. It all tasted great, but it wasn't mixed together properly, just thrown on there. It would have also have been nice to have more than 3 pieces of shrimp (it also was quite expensive for this dish The fries were A+. Nothing to complain about here. Tasty, plentiful, and good price. Salad was also basically flawless. Overall, a good choice in Vineland to eat!

I was expecting my food to match what I paid for but it was disgusting. I got the linguine and short rib. Imagine eating pasta from a hospital. Literally no flavor and my linguine was soggy. Literally sooo soft. Ughh I was super disappointed. It was soo gross that I forced myself to eat it since I paid $50 and I still couldn't finish it. C. I asked for plastic cutlery since I was taking my meal to go and they said they don't carry plastic utensils. Very interesting D. The place smelled like mildew. It was definitely a turn off The waitress was nice though. Will I ever come back to this place? The answer is NEVER. I feel like this review is needed so an out of towner like myself isn't ever tricked again. Such great reviews. My chef must've been in a bad mood yesterday because my food did not taste like what these other reviews are saying.

We began with freshly baked rolls served with oil and butter, followed by the spinach artichoke dip. The dip was creamy, flavorful and served with plenty of chips. Everything tasted fresh and generous. I ordered the veal parmesan and it was outstanding -- a huge portion ( 2 Filets) perfectly cooked and honestly one of the best I've had out. I substituted my pasta for two vegetables and the meal also came a choice of soup or salad. The salads were very fresh. My husband ordered a seafood pasta dish loaded with shrimp, scallops and crabmeat, with enough left over to enjoy the next day. He was very pleased with his meal. For dessert, we ordered two of their mini cakes from the menu -- the key lime and the lemon raspberry. Both were incredibly fresh, flavorful, and only $6 each. A perfect finish to the meal. Our waitress, Kristyn, (Kris) did a great job. No worries at all, she took excellent care of us from beginning to end. All the workers were busy, attentive and kept the tables clear. We didn't try the pizza this time, but their brick oven pizza looked amazing. We'll definitely be trying that on our next visit. Overall, the ambiance, decor, service and food were outstanding. The Green Olive is a beautiful restaurant with delicious options, warm hospitality and generous portions. We will absolutely be returning.

It was not an absolutely perfect dining experience, but I will give kudos where kudos are deserved. I will say, the outside of the restaurant gives way more opulent feel than what is on the inside. The villa looks like one out of Italy with statues on the property, a nice little outdoor area to run around (if you ask my almost 2 year old). The inside is casual, so no need to get overly dressed up like my family did (unless you want to). Fresh baked rolls and a pesto oil are set on the table to start. It was a bad day to be roll and oil at our table. While I was not incredibly overwhelmed by the dipping oil, the majority of our party was practically fighting over the little dish of green-oil-goodness. All of the entrees are served with soup or salad. The salad was a little sad, but it wasn't enough to ruin the review. I just assumed the balsamic dressing was a vinaigrette and not just straight acid burning your insides. The calamari was good! Perfectly crisp, accompanied by the perfect marinara for dipping. As for entrees, I went with the limoncello entree with chicken. The sweet lemon cream sauce, is unlike anything I've ever tried, and perfectly paired with asparagus, sun dried tomatoes and artichokes over linguini. Would order again, but also would likely order a different dish because there were so many delicious looking entrees across the table. I was most intrigued by the dishes that our party got with the cheese sacchetti. They are like most other cheese filled pastas but the shape and texture really gave you a lovely pop of cheese as you bite into it. The waitress was fine- not friendly, but also didn't mess anything up, aside from not bringing a dish for disposing shells from the seafood rissoto (she's forgiven). All-in-all, I look forward to returning, again!
