The food was amazing. I had the cacio e pepe which is partially made tableside. That is a very nice touch that not many restaurants still offer.
The atmosphere was excellent,the servers were very knowledgeable and answered any questions i had about the menu.
Service was friendly and warm. The staff made me feel like I was a guest in their home (That's not something I say lightly either). 10/10 will definitely return

Took wife here for here birthday. This was our second trip there. Love it! Food was terrific and service is great! Drinks came out late and they took them off our bill, which wasn't necessary but much appreciated.. Oh, and Calamari is to die for.. :)

We stopped here for the first time Saturday night. We were able to get a reservation for 7:45 and got seated right on time. From the start, customer service was great. The bread to start off was delicious. We ate it all. We ordered the involtini for our starter. The eggplant was cooked perfectly. For our main course, my husband wanted to try one of their signature dishes - cacio e pepe. It's mixed in a cheese bowl and prepared right in front of your table. I would highly recommend it! SO GOOD! I got the short rib ravioli and while it was good, I kept eyeing my husbands dish lol. This was definitely one of the better Italian restaurants we've experienced in JAX. Can't wait to try out more!

They brought a giant block of cheese out and tossed my pasta in it to make it more creamy, loved it. I also asked while the gentleman was mixing it and carving the cheese off into it to give me so much cheese I would have constipation the next day (was really in the mood for creamy pasta). He did not disappoint. 10/10 would have major constipation for this food again.

Very disappointed! The least authentic Italian food. Ordered the different dishes and all were very blah! Overpriced!

My family and I had an incredible experience here! The atmosphere at Bella Vista is so welcoming, and the service is top-notch. The authentic Italian cuisine is divine, especially the pasta in a big roll of imported Italian cheese—a must-try!
Paolo, Gary, and Mia made us feel right at home, and their delightful cannoli is a treat for the taste buds. This place is now our go-to spot for delicious food and friendly faces.
