Italiano Vita99 - Tirana

I normally don’t leave reviews, but I feel obligated to warn people about this restaurant. I ordered the carbonara and a peroni beer. When the hand-written check came out, it was priced at 850 lek for the carbonara and 400 lek for the beer. This was more than what was written on the menu. When I insisted on seeing the menu to confirm the prices, the woman insisted that these were the prices. She knew what she was doing. Unfortunately if you attend this restaurant and are a foreign person, you may be taken advantage of. The worst part is that the carbonara wasn’t even good, it was bland.

The owner greeted us when we came. He was more than pleasent and friendly and he also speaks Italian and Serbian. The food was more than amazing!! He made us his handmade pasta and it was gooooood.

Great food but the service is way too slow. The Carbonara missed ingredients.

The food was really nice. Nice quality pasta! Unfortunately as everywhere else you cannot pay by card although they had a sign saying that you can. The restaurant was almost empty haha which was a bit weird. The waiter guy was nice but I prefer to make my own mind about things.

I dined at Vita99 on a Saturday night and overall, I was pleased with the experience. The pasta was superb and I highly recommend you order a tris to get the full experience. One of the waiters was also very nice and recommended a superb red wine. What I didn 't like was that some of the ingredients were missing on a few dishes and we were the only table on a Saturday night making the atmosphere feel quite dull.
