English translation:the (fantastically) vibrant Mediterranean cuisine
Explanation:
Or even just the "fantastic Mediterranean cuisine", because "vitale" seems to hit a much higher note than "vital" does in English, è ora di cena, bon appetito a tutti.

joyful, delicious, healthy, mediterranean cooking


Explanation:
"Vitale" in questo contesto, più che "healthy" significa "esuberante, piena di vita, gioiosa". Userei "healthy" per tradurre "leggera" e "delicious" per "gustosa".
Vedi se ti piacciono e se ti convincono; buon lavoro!
