Very interesting Italian restaurant. Excellent service, delicious food. Lot of young female diners. We went as a family to celebrate end of exam period. The cheese wheels are really novel and great to watch dishes being made.

I had the gnocchi tonight because I couldn’t resist. Others at my table had other meals and we’re equally happy with the quality and flavour. Thanks so much godi la vida!!! You’re the best!

Food was delicious, wine very nice selection. The staff friendly. They did forget cutlery for dessert, but that’s a minor thing. Overall comfortable and enjoyable. Would go again.

Service wasn’t that great. Casual dining for a pricey menu. The waiter couldn’t explain the menu and had to get someone else to do so. Average and probably wouldn’t go back.

The food was incredible. Not your stock standard dishes.. best Italian food in Australia. In fact, I’ve had pasta in Italy and it wasn’t this good.

Very obliging staff, my friend had dietary requirements which were accommodated with no fuss, the chef came out at the end of the meal to see if everything was OK. Very enjoyable experience, good food. Will be back

Food was very good without being excellent. Cheese wheels are a nice novelty. Staff were generally nice, however after being seated for a few minutes we were approached by a waitress who told us that they had double booked the table so we would have to get out by 7:20....... wasn’t a great start and could have been put a little better

Great food and great atmosphere. Would come back. The signature cheese wheel pasta is worth the hype. Only downside is you get so full from all the carbs!

The food was quite nice, however the portion sizes were very poor, and well over priced. We ordered mojito’s and were served two non-alcoholic versions without being advised that this was the only option on the menu. We were in and out in half an hour. The experience was all too fast. We would not return

The Food is good but we got pretty full quickly as there was too much cheese given in a plate of pasta and spaghetti. Love the atmosphere. Staff are friendly.

The waiter said they’d call us over when they were making our pastas in the cheese wheel so we could marvel at the spectacle. Moments later without a mention, our pasta was served straight to our table. So we feel we got cheated on the cheese wheel experience. Albeit the food was delicious and service was good but couldn’t justify the price of the pasta without seeing it in the cheese wheel!

Food was absolutely delicious. A tad expensive but good if you’re celebrating something. But even after telling staff that we were celebrating we did not recieve our complimentary desert platter.

I love Godi La Vita - for dinner - but unfortunately, breakfast/brunch needs a bit of work...I hadn't been for a while, so had forgotten that this has happened every other time: 4 of us struggled to cut the toast under our eggs and the toast is never buttered, I always have to ask for it (why is toast not buttered??? or at least, butter provided?!). The bread is yummy, yes, but it is impossible to cut, basically need a steak knife, or as my other half did, you might just give up. Portion size wise, it's borderline on the small side - lots of extras offered as options at a cost, but the basic serving size depending on your dish, is a little underwhelming. That all said, the coffee is good, the taste of the food is always good, the roasted tomatoes are delicious and always well cooked which I find is often not the case at other places. The staff are friendly and helpful, and were accommodating when my Dad requested a different table which was much appreciated given they were no doubt going to be busy, although on that note, being busy by the time we had ordered, we were then left alone with empty plates until we got up to pay, so feel like perhaps being Father's Day, an extra hand on staff might have been needed...! Overall, I'll be back for dinner before I'm back for breakfast, but I will be back, just hope some minor tweaks are made for the earlier shifts...

Disappointed with the food. Perhaps it's the traditional Italian way, however the pasta was undercooked and chewy. Bread was delicious. Staff were friendly but one was obviously new and didn't understand when we asked for butter, or for the bill. Overall, not what I expected.

Hello we went to Godi la vita for lunch for my daughter’s birthday. As soon has we entered the staff were so welcoming friendly happy and very pleasant. We sat at are reserved table and began looking at their menu, we have eaten here before so no matter what you choose it will be delicious. We all chose a different meal and yes they were beautifully cooked and presented and of course delicious. While your waiting for your meal you can go up to the counter and watch chiefs preparing a pasta meal at the cheese wheel .Their dessert menu is equally fabulous again we all chose a different dessert they are all delicious so hard to pick one. Again they were beautifully prepared and presented. We’ll certainly return to Godi la vita again and again. A very happy and enjoyable meal. Thank you.

The food was exceptionally good. I haven't had a pasta where I'd polished off the whole bowl in ages. Highly recommend. My only negative is that our table was next to the till and my chair kept getting bumped by staff and people paying.
