Traditionally being vegan or allergic to gluten makes eating in Italian restaurants at best challenging, and at worst unrealistic.

We Italians are big fans of pasta, bread, cheese, and dairy. A lot of old school Italians thought that being Vegan was just a myth that the French made up so they didn’t have to buy the expensive creams (this could be totally made up but an Italian never misses the chance to knock the French😉)

But these days we have so many excellent options for those with allergies and dietary restrictions. Not sure what to order? Just ask and our wait staff will work with the chefs to build you a delicious meal that doesn’t sacrifice authentic flavor.

Pictured here is our baked spaghetti with gluten free pasta and vegan cheese. Delicious flavor and allergen friendly!

We talk a lot about our food and processes at Vita Momenti but another very important part of our business is our drink service.

Italian food goes hand in hand with dinner cocktails and delicious w**es.

Part of having b**r, w**e, and a full bar is responsible service. This year we participated in a random alcohol enforcement sting by the LCB in which undercover liquor board members came and observed alcohol service as well as attempting to get an underage operative served alcohol. We received top commendations for our service and special recognition given to our general manager for her professionalism in denying improper service to the under cover operatives. Brier Pizza LLC and Vita Momenti are proud to have 0 violations or reports of improper service in our six year history.

Liquor service is an essential part of our business and we believe in serving responsibly not just to comply with state and federal laws, but because when patrons leave our doors, they are going onto the roads of our community where our children are and our friends and neighbors live. Serving alcohol always has and always will mean serving it responsibly.

We are proud to offer a diverse alcoholic menu that is both delicious and served with the safety of our communities in mind.

There’s a big difference between seasoning food and building flavor.

One of the fundamentals we believe in at Vita Momenti is intentional layering—treating every ingredient and every stage of cooking as an opportunity to develop flavor.

Take something as simple as breading a piece of chicken. The chicken itself is seasoned. The flour is seasoned. The egg wash is seasoned. The breading is seasoned. Each one is treated as its own ingredient, because each one has a different job to do.

When those layers come together and hit the heat, something happens that you simply can’t recreate by throwing everything together and seasoning it at the end. The salt and spices interact with proteins, fats, starches, moisture, and heat differently at every stage. One layer seasons the meat. Another becomes part of the crust. Another helps create browning, texture, and aroma.

That philosophy carries through everything we cook.

A sauce isn’t just a collection of ingredients simmered together. The aromatics are developed first. Ingredients are added intentionally. Seasoning is adjusted as the sauce changes. Pasta meets the sauce at the right stage so the starch, fat, cheese, and liquid can emulsify together rather than simply being poured on top.

Cooking in layers takes more time. It takes more attention. And it creates a completely different result.

You can put the exact same ingredients into two pans and end up with two very different dishes depending on when they were added, when they were seasoned, and how they were allowed to react with one another.

That’s the difference between assembling ingredients and actually cooking.

At Vita Momenti, we believe great food is built one layer at a time.

One of the most important steps in making great Eggplant Parmesan is also one of the easiest to skip: salting the eggplant and giving it time to release its excess moisture.

Eggplant naturally holds a tremendous amount of water. When you slice it, salt it, and let it rest, the salt draws that moisture to the surface where it can be removed before cooking.

Why does that matter?

Because excess water is the enemy of great Eggplant Parmesan. If you skip this step, that moisture releases during cooking, leaving you with soft, watery eggplant, soggy breading, and a sauce that gets diluted on the plate.

Properly salted and rested eggplant cooks differently. It develops a better texture, holds onto its breading, absorbs flavor without becoming a sponge, and gives you those distinct layers of eggplant, sauce, cheese, and crust that Eggplant Parmesan is supposed to have.

It takes more time. It takes more prep. And it's exactly the kind of step that's easy to eliminate when the goal is simply to make food faster.

But at Vita Momenti, we believe the little steps are what separate food that's assembled from food that's actually cooked.

There are no shortcuts to doing simple food well. 🇮🇹

What an incredible night!!

Thank you for one of our best events to date!

ON COMMON GROUND KILLED it as usual. Fantastic musicians and all around a great group of guys.

On nights like these we are especially grateful for our staff, many of whom work overtime in preparation for events like this and when the busy insanity hits handle it with such cool under pressure that it makes the night a joy rather than a disaster.

We love this place and thank you everyone who comes out on nights like tonight and every night in between to fill our seats and allow us to love what we do.
