La Vita e Bella - Tirana

Updated: Jun 23

La Vita e Bella - 1 visit


The generosity and kindness of the Albanians is incredible.



Wayne and I have been walking by this new restaurant for the past month and checking in to see when it will open. It looks fantastic! We dropped in yesterday to see how they were progressing.


It was still one week away, but they were testing and finalising the menu, so instead of sending us away, they invited us in to enjoy a glass of wine and a snack on the house (we just needed to be seated around the corner where it wasn't obvious they were serving us).


The food and wine were divine, and we also experienced amberjack fish for the first time, which was super impressive; even Wayne loved it!!

The service was impeccable, warm, and friendly, and you truly felt like family.


There is a fantastic outdoor dining space for long, lazy lunches or dinners and areas to lounge and enjoy an afternoon wine in the sun.


The restaurant indoors is beautifully designed. Upstairs, there are private dining rooms great for celebrations and functions. These rooms are equipped with balconies, restrooms, and a personal entrance, so you don't have to walk through the main restaurant.

After our snack, we visited the new restaurant for a tour and met the owner and the kitchen crew. We were so impressed with the stunning renovation, unique artwork, and quality decor that we wished we had stayed longer in Tirana.


We had a magical day and genuinely love the culture and incredible kindness we receive from the beautiful Albanians.
