This restaurant is CLOSED and OUT OF BUSINESS! I really liked this place and very sorry to see that it is no more!

Zero stars! I made two reservations via Open Table and we were looking forward to have a nice dinner at Bell Vita. Both reservations were cancelled by the restaurant for no reason and without a comment or giving a reason.

I have been trying to find this place yes came here back in 2008 and this old man came to us and asked about the food and was so nice he must have been the owner back then. I need to come back again now that i live out here

The restaurant has been closed and issued an eviction notice. Pleas remove it from Open Table. We're disappointed because we have enjoyed it for years. I hope that they will be able to reopen or relocate.

The restaurant had been closed for several days. There was a notice on door they had been evicted on February 15th. We went to Cork Tree restaurant next door and had a great experience. They said owners of Bella Vita shut down without saying a word.

Have eaten here a few years ago & it was good. Sadly, came in & got the lunch special. It was fair.There we're two women that were do out of it wanted to use the restroom. They were walking clumsy & slowly. One of them locked themselves in the restroom. The lady in charge wanted to handle it herself. Should have called the police but contacted their parent instead. What a mess Never going back

Please be advised that Bella Vita is out of business effective February 15, 2022. There is an eviction sign on the door. This was a very good Italian restaurant that we had visited several times over the last few years. We were saddened to see its demise. The owner and staff were very nice and accommodating.

We were very disappointed when we arrived and found the door padlocked and the business was closed. Why did Open Table permit us to book a reservation? According to a neighboring business they've been closed for awhile...

We can't give you a good rating because when we arrived the Restaurant was closed. It was pretty bad since it was a Saturday and couldn't get another reservation anywhere. Thank you, from previous experiences this restaurant was great

This location has closed. Eviction notice and NO TRESPASSING signs posted. Reservations accepted on Open Table despite closure.

I made reservations for 5:30 pm. When we arrived, much to our surprise, the doors were locked and the restaurant closed. Very disappointed. I can see why they went out of business if that is how the restaurant was run.

Unfortunately, we arrived and it was closed with a padlock on the door. Also an eviction notice dated February 15, 2022 so no dinner!! Sad as it was one of our favorite restaurants!

We booked on open table about 4 hours before our 6:30 PM dinner. When we arrived, we were surprised to see an empty restaurant, with a note on the door saying, “we were evicted” fortunately, we were able to go to Cork Tree next door, and have an outstanding dinner

Had a lovely dinner with my hubby here. The service was great. Started with their fluffy bread with olive oil and balsamic. Then calamar appetizer. Lightly fried small slices with a tasty red sauce. Then the sea bass with capers and lemon sauce very tender, fresh, flakey like a Gulf Stream red snapper. The pasta was delicious. Also had the thin sliced chicken breast with artichokes. It was light and so tasty with a small portion of pasta. So many chicken, veal and pasta choices. The tiramisu was to die for. So perfectly made. We had Chianti which was smooth and low in tannins. Service was amazing. Will come back! Palm dessert is a gourmet paradise.

We are on a roadtrip and have been craving really good Italian food. This is way beyond good. Tonight’s dinner was GREAT! My husband and I both had evening special-Cioppino for me and Ossobucco for my husband. Both were delicious. The tiramisu dessert was the best we have ever eaten. We love Italian food and this was authentic and really really good! We ate early at 5:30, did not feel rushed and we had great service. The restaurant was filling up after 6:30 but there is plenty of room inside and also on the outside patio. We’ll be back.
