We are a trio of U of D alumni that meet once a month for a dinner together. This evening we dined at Vita Nova at the Universities Trabant Center. What a great meal we had together. The service as well as the kitchen staff are all students at the school. Everything was outstanding! Course after course, was unique and delicious. The waitstaff cared for each of us as if we were the only table. We really enjoyed our meals and the evening spent at Vita Nova. Looking forward to our next time there. Thank you.
Fantastic, seriously. Even the best waitstaff in the world isn't always excited to be at work. These students are. They are genuinely excited to exceed your expectations and they do. The food is better than anywhere in Delaware. Just go...
First time going to dinner with multiple courses, had a great time! Staff was kind and did a great job. The food was definitely amazing and filling. we plan to go back for a new menu next semester!
The buffet lunch at Vita Nova is excellent and a terrific value. It is right on campus at the student center of the Univ. of DE. The cold and hot offerings were ample and very tasty on the day I dined. There was soup, breads and a variety of desserts to sample along with the salads, carved beef and hot chafing dishes to sample. The wait staff quickly removed our used plates and provided beverages as needed. The students do an excellent job of serving and preparing the food. The parking garage next to the building provides an easy way to visit the campus for a meal. The lovey dining room is not very large, so make a reservation, even for lunchtime hours.
I was blown away by the food and service at Vita Nova! I had heard great things, but it exceeded my expectations.
Very good buffet food prepared by UD students, excellent servers - really enjoyed everything
Food was excellent, as usual. We had the sea scallops and the halibut. Virginia was our server. She was friendly and informative.
Excellent student-run restaurant. Great food and attentive, friendly service. Buffet lunch was such an amazing value.
The food choices that day are not my favorites. The food quality however is always good.
From the time we were greeted at the reception desk until we left everyone was very polite, attentive and enjoyed what they were doing. The food preparation and taste was very good, selection of food was good. All the kids were great to talk to and to know what their future plans were. enjoy our lunch buffet!
