We enjoyed visiting Bella Vista, the place had a nice ambiance, music was perfect for the enviroment and not loud so people can chat. Our drinks were perfect, my lechee Martini was delicious, not too sweet and with the right amount of licor. We order appetizers, the Calamari was very crispy and i loved the fact it was not soaked in oíl like many Calamari from other restaurants. The sweet sauce was just perfect fot it..
Our favorite appetizer was the stuffed mushrooms. They were AMAZING!!! I am not crazy for mushrooms but i loved them , it did not tasted like a mushroom at all. Definitely would go back just for those.
And for desert we had a super unexpected surprise…omg!! The guava empanadas!!! A warm guava center that almost taste like caramel served with ice cream!! it was to die for. A must if you come to Bella Vista.

Had an amazing experience at Bella Vista! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was outstanding. Our waiter Jose truly made the experience even better. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed the entire time. His vibe was great—very welcoming and professional while still making us feel comfortable and taken care of. It’s rare to get service that good these days. Highly recommend Bella Vista, and if you get Jose as your waiter, you’re in great hands

Loved Bella Vista when I visited. The food was so good and the service was top tier! Our waiter Jose was great, funny & very attentive. I got the Churrasco and it was perfectly cooked. The drinks were delish too! The place itself had a great vibe.
Good music, good food, good drinks, I will definitely be back!

Wonderful experience last night at Bella Vista which has gotten a very ambient, modern revamp from the previous Mona Lisa. My wife enjoyed the Oysters Diabla and Churrasco Steak which was perfectly seasoned and served with crispy fried plantains. I had the house made Gnocchi which was rich and decadent in a yummy San Marzano sauce with smoky mozzarella. Dessert was Death by Chocolate cake with berries and we enjoyed some of the signature cocktails as well. Loved that they called us ahead of the reservation to make sure we knew they had valet parking, which is so appreciated on Fed Hill. Our server was lovely and Rob, the owner, shows a true passion for making sure his guests are well cared for and that came across in every facet of the evening. We will definitely be back!

When I first walked in, I honestly didn’t think I was going to have such a great experience, but I was completely surprised. I’ve been to several good Italian restaurants, and I didn’t expect the food here to be that good, but it was amazing. I ordered the Penne & Chicken alla Vodka, cooked perfectly al dente with a fresh, creamy sauce full of rich tomato flavor. My son had the Jumbo Party Wings, beautifully presented with a flower on top — almost too good to eat! The wings were juicy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced between sweet and savory. Service was excellent, attentive, and friendly. Every bite was delicious — highly recommended!

I had a great experience here on a Saturday night. Everything was excellent from the service, to the drinks and food. Our server took great care of us, very attentive and friendly. My mocha espresso martini was creamy and not too sweet. Calamari comes tossed with a sweet Asian chili sauce, it is the perfect amount of sweet with spicy and still remained crispy. The firecracker sushi roll is a fun fusion item that we loved, great addition to our dinner. The gnocchi was amazing and cheesy, perfect texture and paired great with the sauce, spinach and sausage. A favorite combination of mine. Overall 10/10, will be going here again!

This was an amazing location for a chill romantic dinner. My wife and I were amazed from the first bite of bread. We split apps, trying the beef mofonguitos and the Spruce roll. Even though I dont like sushi, I liked the roll, and the mofonguitos were incredibly well seasoned, and the plantain cups were delicious.
Then our entrees arrived, and we were amazed all over again. I went with the Churrasco Dominican, an incredibly well seasoned steak, with asparagus that almost melted in my mouth. My wife went more Italian, getting the gnocchi, and the combination was delicious.
Fortunately, we left room for dessert, because the cheesecake was velvety in a way that I dont think I have ever had in a cheesecake before (and I have had quite a few).
I already want to go back, and I can absolutely see us going back for their brunch or for their rush hour special on Thursdays. And the staff were super friendly and attentive. Our waitress, Alysia, was super kind and helpful, and I genuinely hope to have her as our waitress again in the future.
TLDR: I’d go every day if I could afford to. That was probably one of the top 10 meals I’ve had in my life, and I can’t wait to go back.

Went to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The complimentary valet parking is fantastic. We started with calamari that was prepared perfectly! I ordered the lobster ravioli, and it was delicious. Also ordered at the table was the risotto filled with seafood, but both felt it was oversalted. The other dish was the spaghetti with clams, and that was perfect. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting.
To conclude the meal, a slice of Tiramisu was delivered to the birthday girl, and it was heavenly. Our server, while attentive, took too long to deliver the bread, the first and second rounds of drinks, and when bringing our boxed leftovers, dropped my box on the floor before reaching the table. Overall, it was a delightful evening celebrating a wonderful friend. We will be back the next time we come to Providence.
