Vita Vite Midtown

Vita I arrived here around 5:55pm on a Saturday evening to meet some friends. I was in a group of 4. This was my first time visiting this place and was suggested by one of the friends I visited with. The concept is pairing art and wine. They have a bar downstairs and upstairs. During this visit, the upstairs bar was closed. We ordered at the downstairs bar. They let you taste the wines/ciders, which turned out to be a blessing. They had a blueberry cheesecake cider that sounded delicious… but it is was not 🫠😬 I ended up getting the blood orange cider and it was great! My friend got the hummus and crackers, which we enjoyed. No complaints. I noticed it being busy. My friend stated that have been here before and it’s not normally as busy as it was. Regarding the wine and art pairing, I found it difficult to view/enjoy the art because the art was positioned behind tables. It would very extremely awkward for me to go up to a table and stand there to observe the art behind them. I think the concept would be better if the artwork didn’t have sitting tables next to them. I’ll note that not all of the artwork was blocked. We sat upstairs which was hosted string lights from the ceiling, providing a low light ambience. Additionally, we sat at a corner by the window, which gave a nice view of the courtyard. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would return again!

It was a warm Wednesday evening. We had dinner reservations nearby, but wanted a drink before. Upon entry there was some tables outside but they were taken. Once you enter it has a rustic wine bar feel. Plenty of couches and big long tables. They had some board games and such for entertainment. Obviously a vast wine selection, but some beers on draft as well. They didn’t seem to have any liquor, so a little bit of a let down. Overall a good chill wine bar.

Met a friend here for a glass of wine and some bites after work, this was my first time here and I really enjoyed it! There was an event going on outside on the pavilion so it may have been busier than normal. We walked up to the bar and were promptly greeted, the bartender explained several of the wines. I have very little wine knowledge but I got a sparkling red and thought it was great. We also ordered some charcuterie (we chose blueberry goat cheese, Gouda, and machete, along with prosciutto, chorizo, and pepperoni) and jalapeño pimiento cheese. My favorite was the pimiento cheese, it had a great amount of heat to it. We were able to find comfy seats at a counter height table and it was great for people watching. It wasn’t too loud and we enjoyed sitting, sipping, and talking for a good two hours. They had four tables setup outside, we were hoping to luck into one once someone got up, but no dice. The upstairs is cool, it was fairly crowded with people watching the concert on the pavilion.

This is a gem in the heart of North Hills. If you love wine and love the art gallery vibe, this is your spot. Comfy chairs all around, beautiful set up. Great outdoors and splendid upper deck with a nice view! Wine selection is good! The tapas are amaazing. You get to pick what you want in your tapas! Bar downstairs & upstairs.. Good service!

Their charcuterie is amazingly paired with everything. Very comfortable and cozy inside, nice size bar and other types of seating. Great service.

Visited on Valentine’s Day. Not my favorite experience. The atmosphere is nice and I like that there is a mix of seating styles from bar seating, regular tables, and soft -seating lounge style. The games are a nice touch as well. Service was pretty poor. I went with a group where half of us were looking for non alcoholic options and the other half would be having wine. The two of us who wanted to order NA bevs went first and were met with a pretty irritable server downstairs who made us feel rushed and was seemingly annoyed at our question of whether or not they had mocktails. Totally fine that they don’t (it’s a wine bar so understandable they may not have the same supplies on hand as a regular bar). She told us with some level of annoyance that they only had NA rose and a Pilsner. My friend had a follow up question about something they could make with soda and it was made clear she felt like we were wasting her time. We got 2 sprites, paid and left. Our other friends who did order wine came back and said they also felt rushed for taking their time looking at the menu by the other gentleman at the bar. The customer service was basically non existent. I am a server as well and know busier nights can be challenging / stressful and everyone has an off night. But for the 2 servers we interacted with to have such similar vibes it makes we question the establishment as a whole and how they are either treating their employees or who they hiring.

Go to place for happy hour with coworkers. We go mid day so never packed. Lots of restaurant options in the area, and they didn't seem to mind that we brought outside food. In the past we have purchased a charcuterie board to split between four people.

Nice wine and great atmosphere. A quiet cozy wine bar to hang out with a date or girlfriend. You can actually hear each other talk without loud music.

I met up with a friend for an afternoon glass of wine and late lunch, and I was really impressed by this place. They, of course, had a nice selection of wine but also beer and non-alcoholic offerings as well as food items (including gluten free options). I will be back!

I was here for a group event and we had an absolute great time. Service was friendly and it was pretty crowded which was a good sign. The food was great and we had a charcuterie board which was a good variety and perfect for snacking. Would go again!

Such a cute, trendy wine bar! This spot is fantastic for charcuterie and drinks. I highly recommend for a date night or catching up with friends.

Attended a mom's meet-up here, on a Tues evening, at Vita Vite. Wow it is such a beautiful space, with lots of lounging areas and larger tables for groups. I ordered a sparkling rosé and a 3-cheese charcuterie board with a side of hummus. Everything was delicious and vibes are immaculate here. 10/10

Vita vite is one of my fav wine shops in Raleigh. I often go alone to catch up on work with a nice glass of wine and charcuterie. The service is always great and the outdoor seating is really nice. The wine assortment is nice and the even have games for you to play with friends. It's very spacious with an upstairs and downstairs seating option and located right in the heart of midtown. It's a great date night or friends night out location. They do a good job in making recommendations based on your preferences too.

What is not to love? Nooks and crannies everywhere upstairs, downstairs and outside to relax and enjoy whatever kind of wine you would like. I loved both the chardonnay and merlot I tried. Husband was fond of his Pinot. Reasonable prices. Order at the bar. Friendly. Clean. Would love one in our neighborhood!

Great wine bar in North Hills. Large, spacious, two-story location. Staff is very friendly and helpful. My wife and I usually go to the downtown location, but I think I like this one even better. Nice selection of wine by the glass, a small, but well curated, beer list, and awesome appetizers. Will definitely be back. I highly recommend.

Vita Vite Downtown Raleigh is a must visit! The ala cart cheese board was definitely a hit! I'm not much of a beer drinker so I opted for the cider which has now became my favorite! There's an extensive option of wine and beer! They also have ample parking in the back which is a good bonus!

Stopped in after a maker's market and had a glass of wine. The space is an industrial boho space filled with local art. You can sit anywhere but must order from the bar. Please note that they keep your card if you open a tab. It had an interesting music selection for the space but other than that it was comfortable and a space we would certainly be back.

New favorite midtown spot! I can't believe it took me so long to come here. I'm obsessed with the vibe inside and the double floors with indoor and outdoor seating. It's the perfect spot to catch up with the girls after work or meet a friend for drinks. The snack and drink options are affordable and so tasty! We split a charcuterie board and side of hummus and both were a win. They have a small selection of beer on tap in addition to their wine options!

I came here on a Tuesday evening to have drinks with my family before dinner. There is a fair amount of indoor and outdoor seating. The ambiance is okay; it was fairly busy and the acoustics made it difficult to hear people speak. If you are already in the area, it's a convenient place to stop by for a glass of wine or an appetizer before dinner. I believe they serve charcuterie boards.

Vita vite is great for a girls night! If you have a large group it can be a little hard to find a table so I would say it's best with 4 friends max. The cheese board is good but a little over priced in my opinion for what you get. Overall a fun vibe but too pricey to go regularly!

I'll start with the vibe... it's fairly noisy, crowded, jockeying for seats on a Friday night. I appreciate the variety of seating.. long bar height tables seating 10+, private seating for two, group seating that encourages conversation. I was here for 3+ hours waiting for a teenager to finish up at a party. It was nice having a view of the setting over time. Bartenders were knowledgeable, courteous, and prompt. Wine and beer selections were ample and varied enough to meet most guests. The "bites" are limited but reasonably priced for what you get. I sampled 3 cheeses and 3 meats on the charcuterie board. Ample portions, good selection, and fresh. I will make the drive 30+ minutes and am considering having my next party here. Tip of the hat.

For me coming from Northern California I was hopeful. I guess I'm just spoiled with the wines I used to have. I personally don't like any of the wines offered. I'm a red wine drinker and tried 3 different ones that they offered and didn't like any. Probably won't go back. On a positive note there people behind the bar was super nice.

This is such a good wine bar! Great location and great selection of wines. Heavy pours too

This is a gem in the heart of North Hills. If you love wine and love the art gallery vibe, this is your spot. Comfy chairs all around, beautiful set up. Great outdoors and splendid upper deck with a nice view! Wine selection is good! The tapas are amaazing. You get to pick what you want in your tapas! Bar downstairs & upstairs.. Good service!

Came here with a friend on a quiet Saturday afternoon. The service and wine suggestions from the bar were very helpful. We had a nice time enjoying the cozy chairs and view from upstairs. We did not try any of the small plate as we had walked over right after lunch but I would love to come back and try out the menu. The wine bar-art gallery combination here, makes for very comfy chic decor. While it was pretty empty when we went, I can see this place packed on a nice evening. There's a space for everyone. Come with friends and post up at a long table or play board games by the fireplace, on a date and enjoy the several double chair seating options, or roll solo and find a quiet corner or barstool and get some work done.

I enjoy this space. The wine and the ambiance are the best. I will come here any day over noisy, overcrowded bars. I have been to this location numerous times this year. Very clean, nice, and welcoming staff and just an overall good vibe to sip on my wine and enjoy conversation with friends or even on a date.

Love having a wine bar in the North Hills area and Vita Vite Midtown is doing it with some serious class! Located in the newer section of North Hills near the green, Vita Vite Midtown is a mix of modern and artistic showcasing a wrap-around space with great lighting, stuffed couches and art. It's an interesting mix of style but works overall. With two floors and two bars, there's plenty of space to stretch out in including a long balcony facing the rest of the plaza. And wine prices are on par with most other wine bars in the area. Vita Vite Midtown also adds more bites options covering charcuterie, cheese-crackers, olives and chocolate. So welcome to Midtown, Vita Vite!

Such a cool place! This is a great place for a girls' night, a date, a few friends just catching up, or anything really! Great location and well decorated space! This location is near he Chuy's in Midtown across from North Hills. A group of about 17 of us came for an ornament exchange party on a Monday night. The organizers of the night brought some desserts to share. When you arrive you have to go to the bar to order drinks and small bites. If you order any food you will receive a number to take with you so the staff can find you when your food is ready. Once you order you can sit wherever you'd like. We grabbed a large table by the window for our group. There's couches, tall tables, shorter tables, and of course bar-seating. There's also board games for people to grab to play if they want as well. The selection of drinks was great and reasonably priced for the quality. They had a holiday special, apple cider mimosas, for $8 when I went so I ordered that first. It's a mix of 2 of my favorite things...champagne and apple cider! It was delicious! Then I order another glass of just champagne. I am very much looking forward to coming back! I enjoyed myself, but I look forward to coming with a smaller group as well. Definitely come visit!

I love this place. Friends introduced us to it and the atmosphere is friendly and inviting. Great selection of wines and there's MIMOSAS. I don't go for the beer but I'm sure it's just as fabulous. The creme de la creme is the meat & cheese offerings. Pick you're combination w a few add ons (I get the olives) and you receive a generous charcuterie plate.

Be careful. The wine and food are good, but if you want a relaxing glass of wine, you need to be prepared for children climbing on the furniture. Maybe it's just me, but I don't go to a bar to hang out with toddlers (and yes, I'm a parent). Who brings kids to a bar? Who allows it?

Vita Vite, you are just right! So amazing! I decided to meet a friend here that I met on Bumble Bff! We both had established that we loved Red wine and we both thought it would be cool to meet at Vita Vite because we had never been there. I am so happy that we did. The place is open, public and a great place to have a convo. When I first arrived the first thing that I noticed was the parking! The bar is situated inside of a shopping center so there is plenty of parking. There are 2 free parking garages with plenty of spaces and a parking lot! I parked in the deck because the lot was full. When I first arrived there was hardly anyone there. There is a huge sign that says please seat yourself it's also first come first serve so there are no reservations. Because I waiting on my friend to arrive I walked around for a bit there was an upstairs that was amazing but when she arrived we ended up sitting downstairs. We checked out the menu an average class of wine cost about 12 to 15 dollars depending on what you get and we also got a charcuterie tray with 2 cheeses, bread, salami and crackers that was about $12. We ended up splitting the bill down the middle and paid $20 each. They also let you sample the wines! The bathroom was very nice and clean. There was beautiful decor throughout the place and the atmosphere was amazing! The decor was absolutely beautiful. Overall this is a great place for working, a meet up or a date. I had an amazing time I would definitely be back.

Excellent! We love the downtown location and we were super excited to see a second location opening in North Hills. Unfortunately, we move from NH right before the new location opened. This weekend we were back in town and goi g to head downtown when we remembered the NH location was now open. I'm so happy we went there instead because it was fantastic! For a Saturday night at 9pm it was pretty low key but the ambiance, vibe and service were on point. Great selection of wines by the glass and bottle plus their typical charcuterie options. The space is two stories (a second service bar upstairs too) which we almost didn't realize and has great outdoor space, weather permitting. Staff is very knowledgeable about the wines and we were able to have a small taste of two different reds to help us decide between the two. We'll definitely be back and look forward to spring when we can sit outdoors. Bonus is this location is right on the green which I can assume will be a prime spot for summer concerts and events on the green. Well done Vita Vite!

One of my friends organized a Happy Hour for friends at the new Vita Vite Midtown. It's in North Hills, so the location is good, and there was plenty of parking. There are a variety of table options depending on the size of your group or there is bar seating. It's a very clean place, and I liked the decor. I was not incredibly impressed by the drink options (probably because I was limited since I don't drink beer). This place seemed to attract a lot of women, which wasn't really what I was hoping for. I love to people watch, and the interactions were limited. I did enjoy watching everyone outside learning to use Bird scooters. I will probably give it another shot before counting it out from my list. There was nothing wrong with the place, I just didn't enjoy it as much as other bars.

I love the downtown location so was extremely excited to come visit this location. This one is much larger and has lots of comfy seat options. I love that they have outside seating upstairs and down stairs. They have about 6 craft beers on tap that is sure to meet and beer drinkers needs. With all 6 taps they offer great variety of rotating beers. The wine list is pretty similar to the downtown location with several wine offerings by the glass. This is a perfect stop on the way to dinner or after dinner or to enjoy what's happening on the lawn area. The employees were very friendly.

Came here with my hubby and adult daughter for some drinks and charcuterie board. Bartender gal was crabby and never smiled She acted like she was annoyed and didn't want to be there. She seems to have no people skills and the guy behind the scenes was also crabby. We do not recommend this location.

What a gorgeous place! With seating on two levels, there's plenty of room to hang out with friends or cuddle up in a comfy chair and relax with a glass of wine. The bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly. In addition to wine, Vita Vite also offers craft beer. Will definitely be back! Definitely some Instagram worthy pics at this place

I found this place to be a nice departure from the norm. They have a great selection of wines and all are reasonably priced. In addition, a very nice array of beers. They do have a small selection of charcuterie choices and all items are well priced and designed to clearly compliment wine or beer. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was what made this a 5 star experience for me. It is a very California feel with a bit of Restoration Hardware Weho vibe. The only negative, if you will. I did not like the "bar" type style of requesting and holding one's credit card. IMHO a place this nice should not have that practice. It's upscale and I'd wager, attracts a different crowd than one would experience at the typical bar. As well, not everyone likes to hand out credit cards and yes some even pay cash. The point, it's awkward to pay cash for each item one orders especially if you don't feel comfortable handing out your black card.

What a lovely addition to the North Hills area. Vita Vite is a wine bar and an art gallery and they sure have got their stuff right. The space is very inviting, gorgeous, and the art is amazing. They have two levels and there is plenty of room for large groups. Their bar space is huge too. The staff is very courteous, friendly, and attentive. The space is surely very picture worthy, especially when they have their chandeliers on! I definitely look forward to going back again.

Delicious charcuterie and great service. The cheese selection was phenomenal and the wine paired very well ( I got the reds). My only commentary would be improved/increased cracker selection. The plate lacked the carb

Very classy ambiance, has two levels and you can even go outside. Very delicious appetizers and great selection of drinks.

Nice and cozy wine bar located directly in North Hills. My fiancé and I came here with a friend on a Friday night at 10 pm and it was pretty quiet with almost the whole place to ourselves. I also came here with a girlfriend for drinks after a workout, and experienced an even more dynamic crowd. It was 4:30 on on a Thursday and we found the clientele was lots of young couples with young infants. I didn't even realize there are two levels, I look forward to checking out the upstairs bar when it reopens. The wine selection left me wanting more wines from Napa but I would definitely recommend this location for a glass of wine with friends.

Really nice! I'm here with my girlfriend hanging out. Beautiful view and a really nice laid back atmosphere. Perfect for any adult aged group. Plenty of comfortable lounge style seating. Available bar on both levels. Perfect chill spot before going out or unwinding and just want to appreciate a nice vibe.

What's not to love about Vita Vite Midtown?! I've always been a fan of their downtown location, but parking can be a bit tricky in that area (especially now with the Morgan Street Food Hall). I am super happy to have Vita Vite Midtown as an option now. Although parking does fill up around the building you can always park in the CapTrust or Bank of America parking decks and just take a quick walk on over. The interior is beautiful just like the downtown location, but the place spans an impressive amount of real estate. I love that they have an upstairs as well and it is the perfect spot to hang out. Recently we arrived on a Friday around 6pm and things were already picking up. By the time we left around 9pm the place was packed with not a seat to be seen. We opted in for some of their tasty small plates (mostly all cheese based dishes). The charcuterie board and burrata were the hits of the table. Highly recommend grabbing one of these items while you are enjoying your wine (or beer) at Vita Vite! I look forward to heading in again soon!

Love this place SO much! We stumbled in on NYE and had a lovely time chatting with the staff who were more than gracious. Since then we have returned at least 4 times and have added it to our favorite spots in Raleigh. Charcuterie is very well priced and has great options, wine list as well, we love to get a board and a bottle and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. So happy to have found this gem!!

Came here to enjoy a glass of Malbec before attempting to go bowling in the neighborhood. First off, love the location!! And as soon as you walk in the ambiance is so warm and inviting. The decor is absolutely gorgeous and love the art at every corner. This place is perfect to host an event or have a Photoshoot. The waitress was extremely friendly. Restrooms were clean. Was visiting, but next time I am in town I'll definitely be back. I can only image what it's like when it's live and full of people. A cool and fun spot.

Seriously, do your employees really really have to ask someone to put the ear loops to one's face mask on? When I was asked to put my mask on I did. I held it tightly to my face as I was only going to be at the bar for about 30 seconds while waiting for some water. And my mask was an N95 mask which is much more protective than the thin blue surgical masks that the employee was wearing. I was very very turned off by this employee going overboard by asking me to put the loops around my ears. I feel like she was just enjoying the power trip. I will not be back.

I came here last week for the first time (haven't been to the one downtown). I really liked it! I wish the space was a bit more intimate and closed, but I do enjoy the atmosphere. I didn't try any of the food, but hope to upon visiting again. The Sauvignon Blanc I had was great. I love the outdoor patio - especially on a nice evening. There are also couches inside so it is pretty relaxing.

First time there last Thursday after work to meet a date. Although my initial impression was that atmosphere was a little "cold", once seated my opinion changed. Busier than expected for a week night but still a great atmosphere. Comfortable seating at the bar, several hi-tops and even couches.Also, even when pretty busy the acoustics lended themselves to easy conversation. I am surely no expert with wine but the bar staff was very helpful in assisting me to make a great selection

Girls night out! Totally recommend this place for a girls night out or meeting with a girlfriend. Large place, yet it feels like you could be sitting at your own home too. Clean, nicely decorated ambiance.

Vita Vite in North Hills is a great after work or date spot. They have wine, beer, and a few options for a create-your-own charcuterie board. The staff is friendly and the ambience is regal. I took off a star because while this location is two stories, there isn't a bar upstairs so you have to trek down to the bar anytime you need something.

Vita Vite downtown Raleigh is by far my favorite wine bar/girls night/after work spot. So of course I was excited to check out the newer North Hills spot. It's beautiful and two stories. Sadly however, my pet peeve is pretentious places and this location drips in it. I walked in and the staff recognized me but it didn't prevent it. Looks like I'll be staying at the dtr location.

This place is the cutest! We came here around 5:45 on a Saturday night and there was plenty of room and seating. They have a great balcony and porch overlooking the midtown park, we spent a majority of our time out here. This is a great place to come grab a drink with friends and get some snacks. We got their Pick 6, where you can pick 3 meats and 3 cheeses served with bread and crackers. They had some lovely blueberry goat cheese that we got. We sat upstairs where they have a separate bar. I am going to assume that downstairs had a larger wine selection because they didn't have an abundance of options upstairs. I'll have to go back to see! I really enjoyed this place and I'll definitely be returning.

Great vibes, wonderful grand windows, excellent wine menu and awesome charcuterie board options. Awesome space both downstairs and upstairs, even great seating on an outside balcony.

Cool place, terrible service. Bartender was legit one of the most unfriendly I've ever come across. It was a slow night so I just cant comprehend why she would be rude or not even crack a smile when all you have to do is pour a glass of wine to paying customers.

I had a wonderful experience here sampling wine. We also tasted the cheese and meat platter which was delightful.

Very cute atmosphere and great place to meet up with friends. Wine list is good. Downtown location is also super chill.

We came to start my birthday off with a glass of wine and charcuterie board I've read so much about. With poor service from the day time bartender, hardly even a hello. We felt so unwelcome we closed out after one drink. The wine was great and the charcuterie selection looked nice.
