Reviews of La Vista Italian Restaurant (Restaurant)

Heather Salter

The service was excellent, the ravioli was great, the atmosphere and lighting was very nice. The salmon sauce was way too sweet for me. I ordered the one off the menu, however, the special was advertised with a maple glaze and I feel like I got the special instead of the one on the menu. The beet salad was okay. Would I go back? Yes, for sure I would go back! Thank you!

Angeles SAEZ CASTAÑO

Eric Sun

Went for breakfast at the Toast. Fantastic!!!

Food was delicious! Well seasoned, large portions (except the caesar salads) but all were yummy! Our server Mike was a sweetheart, super nice. I had cajan chicken and pork belly pasta with this amazing cajan sauce. Filling. Prices were high; 2 entrees, wine and salad was $100. Cheapest thing was $10. It is located INSIDE a hotel in the back. They need an additional sign directly out front of the hotel.

Good service and atmosphere, good menu, but something is lacking with the execution. The biggest problem for me was the main course. My fillet was way over cooked, medium well instead of medium rare, and that’s after I specifically asked the waitress of the risk they overcook it, and was assured that it’s always cooked “on point”.

Rebecca Weeks Howard

Not impressed with the food although they had great service!

Bahar Jafarizadeh

I ordered pesto chicken and i told them to put less mozzarella cheese and it was so cheesy and sooo heavy that I can feel cheese in my throat! Also the taste was so simple and sweet! I dont like it!

Dominick Moretti

The food was fabulous, especially the fried calamari one of the best we ever tasted and we are new yorker s and have been to some of the finest restaurants in the United States . The ambiance was delightful and the staff were very accommodating, and a salute to Anthony our waiter who did everything to make our dinner enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant to those who visit here. Thank you. Margaret and Dominick Moretti

Ben Trentman

Food was great, the service was good, and the atmosphere was decent. Outdoor seating is nice. It was a bit pricey for the quality, we spent $100 before tip for 3 entrees and a kids meal with 2 drinks. My wife highly recommends the lobster and truffle oil pizza without the marinara sauce.

Lacey Glajch

Very good Italian food. Generous portions. Large wine list.

Sandra Lungariello

Food was amazing! Got the scallop appetizer, shrimp scampi, pork special, and a chocolate cake for dessert....everything was cooked perfectly. We also ordered drinks and the bill was very reasonable. Highly recommend it!

dave johnson

Amazing service and food. Will be returning again on our next vacation

Peter Nightingale

My seafood fettuccini was fantastic. Two of us loved our meals and the other two thought they were good but not great.

Keith Bowes

Only been for breakfast, never disappointed, clean great view plenty of parking

Vincent Dimartino

Good food,great service.whst more can you ask for Oh and the atmosphere is really nice.

Chase M

Wish I didnt spend my money here. They charge big city prices for amateur/lazy recipe execution. Spent around $60 for a glass of wine, appetizer, and dinner. Pretty sure they add all the (low quality) ingredients together at the last minute when they can get away with it. Appetizer and free oil dip (w/ bread) did not have blended, matured flavors. Oil was cheap olive oil, had no spice or flavor to it. Lasagna was okay, nothing to brag about. Service was good. If you've experienced real cooking before (the kind that takes work and time), you will be very disappointed.

Laura Cochrane

The staff was awsome....The food was great. Can't wait to go back.

Gary Stugard

Great food and great service

Donna Pedrone

Servers were nice, but the food was sub-par. Fettuccine Alfredo with undercooked pasta, chicken piccata with a bland sauce and chicken parm with dry chicken. Simply disappointed.

Krystyna Donati

Yummy Italian Restaurant at the Riverwalk. We were a party of 7 and they did a great job serving us. Our 3 grandsons enjoyed trying new entrees. I had a grilled Salmon which was delicious. Tasted some new wines.

Brian Caruso

A hidden gem inside a hotel. The service was on point and the wood fired pizza was delicious. Try the watermelon salad; you'll be surprised by the presentation. There's a great draft beer, wine selection and the bartender made a tasty mocktail.

Pablo Halpern

Went here for Sunday breakfast. Loved the egg crustini with pesto hollandaise. Great coffee and fresh OJ, too.

Ron Bigley

I ordered the carbonara me and my wife both .. Scalloped when overcooked and rubbery sauce way too thick into peppery...

Misty Denton

Bartender way to talkative!! ONLY KIDDING! GREAT TIME!

Terri Collins

Very nice experience. Portions are ample and food is good. Nice bar and very friendly wait staff.

David Leclerc

Amazing breakfast! High quality ingredients, full of flavours, very satisfied and will visit again.

Janice Kelly

More of a formal dining restaurant. We didn't realize that when ate here and we felt woefully underdressed in our vacation clothes. I would recommend wearing a suit coat and tie for him, and a cocktail dress for her. The food was delicious if a bit pricey for what we were expecting going in.

Nate hatboi

Over hyped. It's just ok. I didn't like it too much.

stefanie Allen

Drinks were not good, food was even worse. Manager tried to replace our meals with other items off the menu. They were equally as terrible. I hate leaving reviews like this, but I also want to prevent anyone from wasting their time and money. On the bright side, the service was good!

Aimee Villet

The food here is terrible! The bread was salty, gnocchi was smothered in garlic, spaghetti and meatballs were overcooked and the pizza was undercooked. The best part of the dinner was the caesar salad. The staff here was incredibly friendly and professional but the food was just the worst.

Ashley Hurley

What a disappointment. The owner of this place also owns black mountain burger, which we ate at yesterday and it was phenomenal. Unfortunately la vista is the complete opposite. Both dinners tasted so old. They were rubbery and gross. The service is good though. The hours are ridiculous as well but oh well. We will not be returning to this place.

Gregory Croteau

The food is good.. no issues there.. just not sure if it's worth the price.

Alexandra Bozzuto

Excellent staff . Good menu selection, well prepared . Carrot cake exceptional

Bethany Austin

Omg I have to say that this is by far one of the best restaurants in town...their wood fired pizza is to die for...I even was able to get their food delivered cuz the taxi company in town named the Gannon company can pick it up for you..awesome awesome....worth every star

Samantha Robie

More garlic is needed in the sauce (pitch of sugar to cut down on the acid) but other than that the food was great! Joseph our server was awesome! Best server I have had in awhile and I travel all the time! Love the balsamic vinegar not imitation like seeing Italian places! Pizza wasn't for me...crust was way too thin! I love Italian and would go again!

Michael S

Stopped here recently on the way back from the Ice Castles in Lincoln, New Hampshire. This restaurant is part of a hotel and while it is a fairly large restaurant with a large sports bar. Both my girlfriend and I were not all that impressed with the food. On a positive note the service was really good.

Lorretta Costa

Excellent food as well as service!

Sherri Graton

A wonderful experience!!!!! Perfect atmosphere (the music and setting)and views of Loon mountain from every window! Cozy and romantic feel! Authentic gourmet meals......the mussels were the BEST that we've ever had! Super fresh! And their pastas were house made! The perfect compliment to end our meal.........the tiramisu and house made cannolis! Our waitress was top notch........very personable, completely knowledgeable of the menu and beverages, and had great recommendations! Planning our next Lincoln destination around coming back to La Vista restaurant!

Christina Gist

Service very slow, too slow. Male hostess very rude. Prices too high for quality. Turned away multiple parties stating long wait times when half the restaurant was empty. Was there almost 2 hours and no one in our section until the last 30 minutes. Lots of revenue lost.

Shaun Dubreuil

Warm atmosphere, nice drinks and fairly good food. Overall this is a nice spot for fancier-feeling dinner if you don't mind the price, since the food won't completely knock your socks off. Get a reservation!

Bill and Beth Russell

We have been here a few times and the food is consistent. The beer selection is good and they have a wine cellar onsite. We sit at the bar because they never have open seating which is fine for the two of us.

George Pappas

This was our third or fourth visit here. On previous occasions, we've had dinner or just apps and enjoyed the food and service each time. This last visit was just for after dinner drinks at the bar. The service was friendly and they have an imaginative drink menu. As it was half-price pizza night, the bar was packed with people eating pizza baked in the brick oven at the pizza bar. La Vista is the most upscale restaurant in the Lincoln-Woodstock area. Entrees are in the mid-20s to mid-30s but worth it. This is a game changer for the Loon Valley and will help attract an additional segment of the market.

Jason Rand

Food was very good.

Matthew GJ Rolph

My swordfish was really good. Nice beer, too.

Samuel Hummer

Excellent food. Beautiful view of the mountain.

Denise

Nice atmosphere excellent food

Kathy Vachon

Great breakfast

John Thibodeau

Not sure how to serve bad pasta (it's just boiling water and pasta) but La Vista managed to do it. Red sauce was too thick and over seasoned. Maybe we should have ordered the specials. Our server NEVER stopped by to ask how our food was. Probably knew it was sub par and did not want to replace anything. I'm confused with contributor's reviews above 3 stars. I'll wait it out to see what happens with this place before I return. Prognosis poor!

Evan Prytherch

Amazing and innovative Italian themed food. Convenient location with free parking. IMHO the best restaurants in Lincoln!

Cee

Italian restaurant in the Riverwalk hotel. I think they should offer more traditional American fare on the menu. The Italian food they serve-in my opinion-is adequate at best.

Idan Cohen

Very good food and service. The restaurant is beautiful. Not to expensive.

R R

Service was slow had to keep asking for salt and pepper and coffee and sugar.

Prajna Acharya

the ambience is great, the pastas are better than pizza. some yummy desserts too

Zane Manley

Italian restaurant located inside of the Riverwalk Hotel. I am guessing that the restaurant is likely far busier during the ski/hiking seasons, but around this time of year in the off season it was pretty empty. Pizza and drinks were excellent and would recommend, appetizer was okay. Good experience overall.

Iris Jones

I thought the worst bc they asked us to wait 15 minutes and there were tables avail; let me tell you it was worth the wait!!! Breakfast was delicious. We had the burrito and croissant sandwich . Angelique our waitress she was great. The Toast you were great!!!

Wesley Skorski

Rissoto is the best I've ever had.

Allison DeSaro

Terrible italian food..not sure who the cook is but needs lessons

Charles Denny

John O'brien

Susy Was Great Food Was Delicious 4 Time Gets Better Every Time.

Anita Venkitaraman

Best mushroom ravioli around the area!

Steph M

Try the pesto bruschetta or lempn ricotta pancakes off the breakfast menu. Cornbread muffins are made fresh daily, and you can tell! So freaking good. This place is so amazingly delicious with great service.

keith gopsill

Good food. Decent selection of wine. Friendly service

P Z

Delicious salads and friendly staff.

Dhruva J

We ordered their pizza, they were awesome!!!!! Loved it.

Melissa French

awesome customer service at the bar! can't wait to return next year!

Samantha Broady

Service can be a bit slow when they're busy, but the food is delicious and even when they mixed up our drinks, they made it right and comped them. To me, that's above and beyond.

Wenjie Chen

We had calamari and scallops as appetizers. They were both sizable portions and tasted great! The lobster pizza was a pleasant experience for our taste buds. Recommended!

Dan Floyd

Great food, friendly staff nice and ambiance

Billy Asher

My rating is based solely on my wife & I experience sitting at the bar . Didn’t really dive into the food menu to much as it was our first time to Lincoln NH & we only had a few days so we ventured out. We were guests at the Riverwalk Resort in which this restaurant is located we found ourselves ending our night here for drinks .First night here we had a pizza that was absolutely delicious. It is a wood fire pizza . They have 6 or 7 pizza options available. I felt like the ingredients were very fresh. I would rate it 8 out of 10 as it wasn’t the best wood fire pizza I’ve had ,but definitely it was tasty & you couldn’t go wrong . For drinks my wife ordered the Italian Margarita in which she thought was made to perfection. I had a few beers & then finished off with Expresso Martinis . If you drink them you know if they aren’t made right they can be so so . Our bartender Jen orJenny Not sure what she goes made them outstanding. If you love the bar atmosphere,. You will love dining/drinks with Jen . She is very knowledgeable on the menu. She has a great personality, Very attentive to her guests.. couple times the bar was full & we didn’t have seats . She made it a point to come from behind the bar to see what she could do to accommodate us for drinks. Like I said can’t speak on the food to much besides the Pizza .I would definitely give LaVista a try & form your own OP . But definitely make it a point to have Jen serve you up some tasty cocktails...

John Campbell

Sravanthi Vavilikolanu

Good foodand fine service. One can enjoy panoramic views of the mountains. Reserve in advance to avoid wait time.

David Keith

We were the only ones. Great service. Waitress was honest. Please ask what's good. Things here, are not good, just because it's expensive. We had great food, but if i didnt ask........well you know.

Holden Parrent

La Vista is a great restaurant that really lives up to the upscale-casual Google description. When my girlfriend and I walked in we were greeted by the host, a older gentleman who was very helpful. Although at the moment they didn't have anything available except for at the bar (which we couldn't sit at as 18 year olds), he first suggested we be allowed to go to the pizza bar with access to the full restaurant. Although a table did open up for us, this was a very nice gesture that was appreciated. Once we arrived at the table we were very quickly welcomed by our waitress, who also arrived with a nice side of bread served with oil and vinegar, which was, quite frankly, delicious. After an amazing dinner of fettuccine alfredo that was filling and huge (we brought some home), we were asked about dessert, which we shared. We had the Triple Chocolate Pie, which, again, was amazing. I would 100% revisit this restaurant if I was in the area again.

Cory Bretanha

Tried this place for the first time after we had a massage at the spa next door. It was very nice inside. Jenny the bartender was great! She brought us bread and oil and make us some of the best espresso martinis we have ever had! We came here specifically for the charcuterie board because I am obsessed with them and it did not disappoint. It came with an actual honey comb! So tasty. I really enjoyed this place and will be back. Definitely a different vibe from the other restaurants nearby and I like that.
