We proudly offer the best of Italy’s restaurants and bars through food and a thriving atmosphere. Italy has a stunning culture and its cuisine has strongly influenced all the globe. We’re pleased to be part of it and we are thrilled to share a piece of the Italian peninsula with you in every bite. Our restaurant is also set on the beautiful River Avon, overlooking Castle Park. The location reminds you of the Venetian canals while dining or having a drink. Our outdoor seating area is ideal for a fantastic alfresco Italian experience.

This is a lovely Italian restaurant on the banks of the river Avon. It has a relatively large indoor area with some tables having comfortable bench seating. There is a mixture of plastic and real plants – one of which is an extremely long climbing ivy. There is also a smaller outdoor area. The menu is varied and we found our choices of a starter of Trio di Bruschetta and main meals of Fritto Misto & Linguini Belle Vista very tasty and enjoyable. This was nicely rounded off with Profiteroles Chocolate.
Service, which was provided by Adriana, was lovely and friendly and also relatively quick despite it being very busy.

Visited this place recently for a Christmas lunch with a small group. It was my first time here, and I absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, and the lunch set menu options were very reasonably priced. I’ll definitely be coming back with my family.

Absolutely loved it here. Gorgeous Italian on the edge of the river in Bristol. We just walked in (we were pretty early for dinner) and were seated in the windows. The set up in there is really gorgeous and the staff were all so so lovely.
We had wine and pasta and it was really well priced, tasted incredible and we wished we could have stayed for longer but we had a gig to head to at the O2. Will 100% be coming back to try more and enjoy the atmosphere!

I came here for tea and had such a lovely, relaxing experience. The weather was warm enough to sit out on the terrace, which is decorated with pretty fairy lights and offers a lovely view of the river and St Peter’s Church.
For my starter, I had the prawns – they were really big, juicy, and clearly very fresh. For my main, I had the lobster ravioli. The pasta was generously filled with lobster, which was a pleasant surprise. I was absolutely stuffed by the end, but everything tasted so good.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I can’t wait to come back again.

My daughter and I visited Bella Vista in Bristol yesterday, 15th January 2026, and had a wonderful lunch. We chose from the set menu — she had the bianchetti to start followed by carbonara, and I had the prawn risotto with tiramisu for dessert. Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavour.
At just £12.50 each, it was excellent value for such quality food and a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the whole experience felt calm and unrushed.
We’ll definitely return next time we’re in the area — a real gem for a peaceful lunch in the city.

I recently visited Bella Vista with some coworkers, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is perfect—relaxed yet refined—and the service was top-notch. We went on a Wednesday night and were able to walk right in, which was a pleasant surprise.
We opted to sit outside in the enclosed heated area, which had a beautiful view of the river. It felt cozy yet spacious, offering the perfect setting for an evening out. The drink selection was fantastic, with a variety of fresh, creative cocktails to choose from.
For starters, I had the mussels, which were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The sauce was rich and well-seasoned, and the crusty bread on the side was ideal for dipping. For the main course, I went with the bolognese. The portion was generous and hearty, with a depth of flavor that was spot on. Every bite was satisfying.
All in all, Bella Vista exceeded expectations. Great food, exceptional service, and a welcoming ambiance—definitely a spot I’d return to!

Lovely family meal. We were a large group of 16 and the restaurant looked after us really well. My elderly mum needed the toilet and they helpfully pointed out the disabled toilet so she didn’t have to negotiate the stairs. Thank you! Food was great, we will be back.

I spent ages trying to pick somewhere for lunch with my mum, and I’m so glad we went with Bella Vista. The food was incredible! It’s still such a treat to find a place with more than one veggie option, and the tiramisu was the perfect finish to a lovely meal.

Cheeky midweek meal out.
Service was friendly and helpful, although given it was very quiet staff could be a little more alert, we were given the bill but then left for quite some time.
Food was good and both my wife’s wine and my beer were ones we’d not come across but very good value.
To be honest the only real criticism would be the crockery. My lasagne plate had a thumb size chip out of it (just bin it) and the white plates on which dessert was served had a weird surface that was not pleasant to pass your spoon across.
