Facebook Share doesn't show my description or my thumbnail

Question

I have followed every single piece of advice I have found to try to get this to work but all of it has been to no avail. Can someone tell me why my description/thumbnail doesn't show up? Thanks. Below is my code and the link to the site:

Meta Tags:

<meta name="title" content="La Vita è Bella, because life is beautiful" />
<meta name="description" content="Drawing on Italy’s most famous export – great-tasting, healthy, colourful food – La Vita é Bella brings families together to experience mealtimes the Italian way." />

<link rel="image_src" href="http://www.lavitaebella.co.uk/images/imageforfacebook.jpg" />

Actual Link:

<a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://www.lavitaebella.co.uk" target="_blank"><img src='../images/share/s-fb.png' /></a>
