First time coming here. Me and my wife were very excited. They brought out bread and oil. I am gluten free and they also had gluten free bread. It was sooooooo good. Best bread I’ve ever had. We got the Bruschetta GF for appetizer. Super good. Then got the shrimp scampi GF and tortellini ala vodka. Wife loved hers. I thought my gluten free shrimp scampi was very flavorful. Dessert was a lemon cake and I had the ice cream since it was the only gluten free option. Would highly recommend. Service was one of the best I’ve ever had. Will definitely come back many times.

We had to sit at bar because we didn't have a reservation. But Eva the bartender was very attentive. There were empty booths the whole time we were there. I had the cannoli crepes and they where exceptional. The building was clean and much more inviting than the West Street location.

Don't let the outside fool you. I came across Bella Vita while searching for a new place to try for a small birthday dinner. When looking at pictures online, I wasn't impressed by the storefront, but the food looked amazing. A friend and I went for an early dinner, and we were both pleasantly surprised once inside. All of the staff were genuinely nice and helpful, and the food was absolutely amazing. It's a new cozy Italian favorite that we will be frequenting.

This was a really great place to eat. We were pretty surprised over all. We walked inside and I loved the cozy yet some what intimate and relaxed atmosphere. We originally went here because we were under the impression that they had Beef Wellington, but apparently that is no longer on the menu. Which is why I did not give a complete 5 stars on the food category. It was a bit of a disappointment. Dispite that, we were really happy with the food we chose as it was nothing short of drool worthy. Our main waiter was very informative and pleasant making the experience all the more enjoyable. Also even with not having a reservation, which is recommended, we were able to get seated within minutes. So I do give it 5 stars over all for sure.

I am so very glad they are back! I really like the atmosphere at their new place! We had a party of six and were seated promptly. Very nice furnishings with glass on the tables. Two of us got salmon and the remainder ordered pasta. My salmon was Sockeye Salmon and cooked to perfection. Everyone loved their pasta and our salads were excellent. Our water glasses were always full and the service was great. A few of us had leftovers and they didn’t just hand you a box, they took your leftovers and boxed them for you. Seemed like a high end restaurant without high end prices. So glad they are back. For you east side diners, worth the drive.
