    Really nice environment with tasty food. A little slow on the service but that's always nice not to be rushed out of a place. Delicious sea food and a gorgeous looking steak!

  • A Facebook Review

    First meal out since Lockdown. Fantastic. Felt very safe and the team have created a great atmosphere despite there being less tables. Excellent food as expected. Already looking forward to the next time.

    I have visited Bella Vita before and have never been disappointed. My husband had not and he really enjoyed his first visit. Lovely food, good service.
