Alla Vita, Llc - MONTPELIER

This is a great olive oil and balsamic vinegar shop. You can sample the different oils and balsamic vinegars and if you are lucky enough to be there between 11-2 you can grab a delicious bistro lunch. The fancy grilled cheese was delicious, as was the berries and beet salad with goat cheese. I was even able to get a glass of wine to go with my lunch.

My husband and I love Alla Vita. We buy all our olive, sesame, and nut oils and flavored vinegars there.The lunches are often vegan friendly and delicious. They're accommodating when I ask them to add, say, hummus, chickpeas, and roasted veggies they have on hand to make my fresh salad into a meal. We brought home a container of white bean dip from their refrigerated selection of greens and a few prepared foods yum!They've recently expanded the lovely interior and have more tables for eating and visiting, which we'll enjoy if we ever unmask in public places again.

The Chicken Sweet Potato salad was to die for!! The Turkey BLT was just as amazing!! Delicious lunch

We stopped here since it was recommended by a local. We had passed it thinking they only sold olive oil but we were so wrong. We had turkey and caprese paninis which were excellent! They don't offer a large selection of salads or sandwiches but if the salads are as good as the sandwich definitely give this place a chance.

Alla Vita has some of the best sandwiches, paninis, and salads in Montpelier. Their menu changes weekly so there is always something new and delicious to try. The ingredients are fresh and local too. The staff is always friendly and polite. This is one of Montpelier's best lunch spots! They also sell a wide assortment of fine olive oils, balsamic vinegar, wines, and local Vermont gifts and products. It's a cute little shop that I can't recommend enough.
