We had a great date night here — it was our first time, and it definitely won’t be our last. We ordered a pizza (can’t remember which one), but it was really good. You can actually see them making the brick oven pizzas, which was a cool touch and added to the experience.
The chicken French was some of the best I’ve ever had — and the homemade pasta is an absolute must. For an appetizer, we split the sliders with thin potatoes, and they were excellent.
For dessert, we tried the cannoli, which I was told is made in-house. Honestly, it might be the best cannoli I’ve had in Rochester.

We love La Bella Vita! Truly a cozy gem in Webster with amazing food and service. Family owned and it shows- from the warm welcome by the owners every time we come in, to the hospitality of the staff, to the delicious food that Chef puts out. My favorites are their homemade soups and pastas, along with the pizzas. They have some nice seafood dishes as well, as I don’t eat meat, and they always accommodate that for me. Nice room in the back for smaller parties as well. Open area to sit and watch the pizza making happen. Just a wonderful place that we love to go to for a great meal and friendly service.

Came here for my and my boyfriend’s one yesr anniversary, and we loved it. We ordered the clam sauce pasta and the chicken parm and it was great. A little pricey, but worth every cent. I’m a fan of the complimentary bread and salad. It’s a cute little place. It wasn’t too bright, dark, or too loud. Our waitress was great too! Super sweet and attentive.

We always have a monthly dinner with cousins and it has been difficult finding a place that can accommodate our group of 15. Not only did they do this but the food and service was wonderful. Everyone said it t was the best cousins dinner ever! Thanks to a place that made everyone feel so comfortable and welcome!!

Just had lunch here and it was good. We came after the lunch rush as it was not busy at all. Ordered a pizza and a panini and it was good. Wanted to order the wood fired wings but they were out of them. I would come back again to try them.

A small group of us recently returned to La Bella Vita because we previously enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere. This time we had a very negative experience and won’t be returning. I am a hearing impaired person so I thought it was just me that the music was blaring making dinner conversation extremely difficult. My friends told me they had asked the waitress to request that the music be lowered but it hadn’t. This was before I even entered. When I asked, the response was,” we can we will.” 10 minutes later there there was no discernible difference and when asked politely, our waitress told us it had been. It was clear they really didn’t care. There was a separate bar that was receiving music but it should not have been that loud in the main dining area. This is a very negative reflection on the type of training and attitude that is portrayed by their staff. There was one young busboy that was extremely attentive and he would probably have cared but if the managers didn’t respond or the wait staff didn’t communicate that is a poor reflection on the restaurant.

Went for a last minute dinner at 9 pm and they were still open until 10pm, and happy to have us. The service from the busboy to the server and everyone before and after was really friendly and accommodating. The food was serviceable, I would almost call it home style – and the portions were very large. Nice selection of both house and seasonal cocktails and great wine offerings

Can’t think of a reason to remove a star. The food is as good as it gets for Webster NY. It’s almost gourmet. The stuffed artichoke is a fantastic appetizer. The wood fire shrimp pizza was cooked perfectly. We will go back for certain. Update 2024: Just paid $54 for an 8 ounce steak special. It came with some veggys and french fries. It’s way too overpriced. I think they know their food is great, and now they are gouging on prices.

This is a really great restaurant, the food was absolutely delicious. I could tell you that because I can make all of those dishes.. I’m 100% Italian and my family grew up in Italian cuisine my husband is a chef. He’s born in Italy also. It was just a little too dark.. it would have been nicer if we didn’t have to wait 2 hours for our meal… We should of had a reduced bill to compensate for the wait… My 2 granddaughters had 2 leave with my Daughter-in-Law. It was very late at 9:00pm… Service was good but they were shorthanded.. driveway to the rear parking needs more illumination to see when it gets dark…

What a great experience!
The dishes we tried were very good. The service is great. Everyone will attend you not just your server. I would recommend this place.
Also, when they pack your leftover they wrap it up so well. Great job overall!
