Bontà Vita

Before a night out in the city for a friend's birthday on the weekend, Jayce and I decided we would go in early and grab dinner together. As the event was at a bar on Sydney's Oxford Street, we wanted to find a place close by where we could walk to afterwards.

Wondering down the busy street we stumbled across an Italian restaurant called Bontà Vita. From the exterior, it looked like a small and simple restaurant, but upon walking in we discovered it actually expanded out to a cosy little room downstairs which had a lovely set up. The interior of the place looked very Italian, and for a second I almost pretended I was at a beautiful place somewhere romantic in Italy.

Starving hungry, we ordered the Aioli Bruschetta. While only small servings, it was absolutely delicious and full of flavour. This was the first time I've tried Aioli Bruschetta, and I must say it will definitely be something I'll be wanting to order again when the opportunity arises. I love both Bruschetta and Aioli as two separate items, so it went without saying that I would love them even more combined.

We ordered two pizzas; The Verdure, which was a mixture of eggplant, artichoke, peas, mushroom, onion, sundried tomato, tomato and Napolitano topped with Mozarella, as well as a chicken pizza which we ordered olives as an extra on top.

The pizzas tasted sensational, and although the bases could have been crispier, we walked away satisfied and ready to start the night. We will definitely be returning to this cute little restaurant sometime in the future. Bellissimo!
