This was our first time at Bella Vista. We decided to try it because it was packed, which usually feels like a good sign.
My husband ordered the fettuccine with chicken. The pasta itself was tasty, but let’s be honest—pasta is kind of hard to mess up. What really fell short was the chicken. It came on a separate plate in several small pieces and was very dry. It would have been much better mixed in with the pasta and prepared with more flavor, something juicy that actually complemented the dish instead of feeling like an afterthought.
I ordered the veal. It was heavily breaded with a lot of tomatoes, but unfortunately it lacked flavor overall. The food in general just didn’t stand out.
The atmosphere was nice, but the service was inconsistent. Three different people came by to ask what we wanted to drink before our actual waitress arrived. When she did, she seemed overwhelmed and lacked basic serving skills. I understand everyone starts somewhere, but it did affect the experience.
Overall, the restaurant has a nice ambiance and potential, but the food and service didn’t quite meet expectations. With better execution in the kitchen and more consistent service, it could be a much better experience .

We absolutely loved having Bella Vista Restaurant catering at a recent event! The food was top tier… so delicious that guests kept coming back for seconds.
It’s always such a treat when we show up to photograph an event and Bella Vista is onsite. Their presentation, flavors, and attention to detail make every celebration feel elevated and memorable. Can’t wait to capture more events with them in the future!

First time here on New Years Eve. We sat on the patio. Everything was beautiful out there. The heaters were perfect. The Christmas tree was beautiful. The fairy lights made everything into a romantic ambiance. We ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. We thought that it was very plain for such a fancy restaurant. We also got the tiramamsu that was delicious. The service was really good. I would eat here again and try something else.

Just had the best girls’ night at Bella Vista and loved every single minute! ✨ What truly made the night unforgettable was the incredible service—it honestly felt like we were right at home. Even though they were incredibly busy hosting a corporate holiday party at the same time, we still felt like a priority the whole evening! The food was so fresh and don’t even get me started on the cannolis and the lemon sorbet… I’d come back 10 times over just for those alone . Such a fantastic experience from start to finish—can’t wait to go back! There are so many more things I want to try.
Special shout out to Giovanni, Paolo, and Kenny for their hard work and incredible service!

Oh my, if I could give 10 stars we would. Worth the drive, worth the check
For start, we ordered the breaded zucchini. Holy cannoli. Wow. Each one perfectly breaded, not too thick or not too thin.
Then we got the Tableside caccio pepe, short ribs ravioli, and the gnocchi…. The way it was served, I was too excited to take a picture. The ravioli and the gnocchi
The caccio pepe was SO FREAKING GOOD!! The caccio pepe and the gnocchi were great the next day!!!
The pistachio cake so DAMN FLUFFY!! My husband got a dessert that wasnt even listed, the Dubai chocolate mousse!!! WOOO! IT WAS SO GOOD!!
The waiter was VERY attentive even teaching the new hire some tips and tricks.
I think we need to go again.

We found this restaurant where the first impression is very pleasant; it’s lovely and clean. The atmosphere is very nice and family-friendly.
The service is excellent, the food is delicious—you’ll want to try everything—and it’s 100% Italian.
Jessica and Sara’s service is top-notch.
You have to come and enjoy it!

I seriously can’t get over how AMAZING this place is. I found their Instagram about a month ago and I can’t believe it took me this long to finally go. I got the chicken parm and it was unreal. The chicken was super tender, the pasta was perfect and mini cannolis were phenomenal! The absolute BEST I have ever had. Everything tasted insanely fresh and authentic. The staff were the massive cherry on top, they were so sweet and welcoming especially the owner who was my server. I’m already obsessed and definitely coming back soon. If you haven’t tried this place yet, go ASAP — you’ll thank yourself later!

The pumpkin spice martini and anetas chocolate peppermint martini were both fantastic. Great flavors and not overly sweet! It was my first time at their bar and I’ve gotta say the atmosphere was great. And the bartenders were very friendly attentive.

A lovely place to sit and chat and have a wonderful authentic Italian meal.. The cacio E pepe is amazingggggggg…. It was so delicious. Noodles cooked to perfection and the cheese, lemme tell you, you could have the cheese by itself if you wanted to. The server was soooooo pleasant and attentive… This place checks all of the boxes and leaves you wanting nothing…. All needs met.
