VITA Italian Bar & Grill

I was very pleasantly surprised by this spot. Beautifully decorated, modern & very classy! The bartender was very attentive & seemed to really enjoy his job.. The food was great! Really Great!!!..., I mean, I just got back from Italy & this restaurant blew it out of the water. / I'm definitely going back!

Ali and his staff are about customer service and providing you brunch that is beyond desirable to anyone's good tastes. We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary with our entire family of 23 and they accommodated us. it was easy to reserved and we had an outstanding experience. We appreciate the hospitality provide to us and we will recommend to anyone looking for a great place to experience. Again thank you!

We were there for the Sunday brunch. Our first visit, and we were very happy we had the chance to try it. it’s a great Italian restaurant, but on Sunday from 11 to 3 they do the Sunday brunch. Lots of different varieties of delicious food. Their Prime Rib and Tri Tip odd excellent and very delicious. They also have fresh oysters, also the pasta’s and Omelette station was fantastic! Amazing staff and very friendly. Mimosas remained topped up throughout the meal. We love it and we will be back again very soon.

ALI the previous manager is back!!! We decided to give it another try for Father’s Day as the reviews were looking good after our bad experience. It was on point! They had half lobsters, large Maine lobster claws, crab and large shrimp! They also had a seafood boil and the most AMAZING short ribs you will ever eat! We knew something had significantly changed and then we saw ALI! He has made it even better than before! Daniel was our server and did an outstanding job keeping those mimosas full and clearing the many dishes we had! He has been there for years and always on point! Arely was also amazing as this girl was serving up those lobsters like a pro! Super friendly and always giving you what you wanted. Don’t be shy, just tell her what you need! Desserts are always on point! I would love to see some Dubai chocolate mousse. Bring that on Vita! Thank you again Ali for returning and making this place EPIC again!

I dined at an Italian restaurant inside the DoubleTree hotel and had a fantastic experience. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff were nice and attentive. The food was amazing, and the drinks were excellent. The bathrooms, located right outside the restaurant, were also very clean. The view from our table was beautiful, offering an amazing view of the mountains. We visited during the day, but we will definitely be back in the evening to enjoy the view at sunset. Overall, a great experience!

We got stuck after visiting from Texas and the black guy from the front I'm sorry I don't remember his name but the bald one took care of us and even gave us free breakfast which is a lot because three people for 3 days would have been over $ 100.00 the breakfast was amazing and also the beds were amazing the place was very clean and very luxurious we were scared to rent a hotel in Pomona but this place really was gorgeous and high class!

Vita Italian Grill in Pomona is absolutely outstanding! From the moment we walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home. The filet mignon ($68) was cooked to absolute perfection — tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. The Caesar salad ($16) was crisp, fresh, and perfectly dressed, balancing the richness of the steak beautifully. Service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing, and every detail showed true care and passion for great food. A must-visit for anyone who loves exceptional Italian cuisine with top-notch service!

Hidden Gem in East LA - Stunning Patio, Fresh Ingredients, & Unforgettable Gigli Pasta! Vita Italian is truly a hidden treasure in Pomona! From the moment you walk in, the resort-style ambiance with mountain views, open patio seating, and giant floor-to-ceiling windows make it feel like a vacation escape right in LA's Eastside. What sets this place apart is their farm-to-table philosophy--all vegetables come straight from Cal Poly Pomona's own farm, and even the beer is house-brewed! The freshness is undeniable and elevates every bite. We ordered several dishes, and every single one was memorable: Tuna Poke Cannoli: A fun and fresh twist--crunchy shell filled with buttery poke, paired with a citrusy yuzu kosho aioli and colorful veggie crudités. A flavor bomb! Grilled Octopus: Perfectly charred, tender octopus served over a soft polenta cake, paired with blood oranges and a vinaigrette that added a bright, zesty contrast. Gigli Mushroom Pasta with Roasted Chicken: The gigli pasta, shaped like little flower blossoms, was handmade and captured the sauce beautifully. Earthy mushrooms, garlic, white wine, and pecorino created a rich, balanced flavor, and the seared chicken breast added that hearty touch. It was my first time trying this pasta shape and I'm OBSESSED. Charcuterie Board: Loved the selection of truffle cheese, cured meats, sweet melon with prosciutto, pistachio jam, and real honeycomb. So well curated! Desserts: The Tiramisu was cloud-like with just the right espresso hit; the Chocolate Nocciola is a dream for Nutella lovers; and the Panna Cotta was creamy, silky, and surprisingly light--an elegant finish. The patio is filled with Instagrammable touches: a floral wall, statement peacock chairs, and perfect golden hour lighting. Ideal for date nights or brunch with friends. ???? Bonus: Free parking, which is a huge win in LA! Can't wait to come back, especially for their weekend brunch (all-you-can-eat with steak & seafood!). This spot is a must-visit if you're into fresh food, gorgeous views, and next-level pasta.
