Been coming here for a decade. Tony always makes it a great dining experience. I like the remodel of the restaurant after the fire.
Food is always fresh, hot and delicious. I normally get the chicken or veal piccata but wanted to change it up. This time I ordered the chicken cutlet with vodka sauce. Absolutely amazing. Drinks were crafted well too.
Tony and his crew make you feel like part of the family when you dine here. He has a great sense of humor and knows how to get his patrons to laugh. Always my “go-to” spot in the North End. Highly recommend this place.

I am from upstate NY and a good friend of mine recommended that I stop by Bella Vistas for dinner if ever on the North End of Boston. He knows that I love Italian food and suggested that this was the place! So, for my 50th birthday my wife asked me how I wanted to celebrate it? I suggested we stay in Boston and try the North End and visit Bella Vistas. I have got to say that not only did I have the best 50th birthday that I could ever ask for, Bella vista knocked it out of the park!!! The owners daughter (wonderful lady) was our waitress and she was the BEST!!! She took our order and graciously brought my beautiful wife and I an antipasto salad for us to enjoy and it was complimentary:). It was delicious!!! We then ordered our dinner. My wife ordered the Ravioli dish and I ordered the chicken parmigiana. My wife had no problem completing her dish it was that good. I had a hard time on the other hand as there was so much food. It definitely wasn’t from lack of trying I was just stuffed! The chicken parmigiana was delicious and the pasta was amazing! It was really tender with a nice crisp coating topped with an amazing marinara sauce with melted mozzarella. We had the window seat so the environment could not have been any better! When we finished our meal our wonderful waitress surprised me with a tiramisu for my birthday dessert. What an amazing treat served by an amazing lady!!!! When we were getting ready to leave, I was invited to the back and I was introduced to our waitresses mother (owner) who greeted me with a smile and hug. She wished me a happy birthday! What a beautiful lady! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and we will be back again and again and……!!!

When the weather is nice, the large front window is open to the street which is excellent for people watching and enjoying your drinks or meal in the sun.
We caught their happy hour (3-5 during the week) so we got to enjoy their $10 martinis! They had SO many fun flavors!
Then we split an antipasto plate—delicious, high quality cured meats and cheeses.
I had the veal piccata with angel hair pasta and it was divine. The meat was tender and the consistency of the pasta was perfect. I love love love capers and lemon, so I was ecstatic that Bella Vista had this on the menu and that it was so delicious!!! My friends had the lasagne and I think that’s what I’m ordering next time—it looked AMAZING!
And we ended our meal with some tiramisu and a cannoli. Such a sweet treat!
So glad my friend recommended me to Bella Vista, I look forward to returning!

In from Galveston TX. Morgan at the bar took great care of us. The food was excellent. We were back in late January and the service and food were awesome. Anthony took care of us and it was a great meal and conversation.

When you are on a pub crawl through Boston with 15 people on a Sunday afternoon and this place graciously allows your group take over the bar area…huge Thank You!
We did not eat so I can only review the $10 martinis…yes, $10 martinis and they were outstanding (several options)! But even more outstanding was the bartender, Ernesto, who dealt with our entire group while smiling the whole time. Pats lost but this place is a winner…I can’t wait to go back to try the food.

We stopped in for their Happy hour, as they advertised $10.00 Expresso Martini’s. It was not only a badly made drink it was served in a glass so small it was laughable. We felt obliged to order food even though we just wanted a happy hour drink! The antipasto was not bad but atmosphere and small, not shaken espresso martini’s is a no return for my family!

Beautiful space. The food and hospitality were outstanding. On a sleepy Monday after the New Year in the city, my group made our way to Bella Vista. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly like we were old friends. All of our dishes, start to finish, were outstanding. I cannot wait to come back and bring others!

We went to Bella Vista the other night for dinner, and unfortunately it wasn’t the experience we were hoping for. From the start, the service felt rude. Our server, Lucia, was not very friendly and seemed noticeably warmer and more attentive to other tables than to us, which made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.
When the food arrived, it was also disappointing. My friend ordered the carbonara, which was extremely salty and hard to enjoy. On top of that, the portion sizes were very small for the price. Overall, the experience did not meet our expectations, and we left feeling let down.

A North End Gem – Even for Takeout!
“Our friends had to cancel our reservations last minute because they were sick, so my wife and I decided to do takeout from Bella Vista instead. We ordered the Eggplant Parm, Chicken Parm, and the Seafood Fra Diavolo, and they even threw in some bread and butter.
The food was absolutely outstanding. We enjoyed the entrees that night and the portions were generous enough that we had the rest the next day—it was just as good! This place is substantially better than the typical ‘tourist traps’ in the area. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back for a sit-down meal.”

Our dinner at Bella Vista was outstanding. Great wine with an excellent pour, caprese salad, delicious and tender veal Parmesan, and scampi. We finished with a tasty tiramisu.
Lucia was such a terrific server and her attention to detail made our meal even that much more enjoyable. Can’t wait to return next time we are in Boston.
