Since Bella Via moved to Highwood, we have been there several times. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is very comfortable, and the servers is very attentive. Given the nature of pricing these days, Bella Via remains reasonably priced. There are lots of Italian places in Hollywood, Bella Via, in my opinion is among the best.

Great, classic food! Nice small restaurant feel. Excellent cocktails and we had a lovely complimentary birthday desert brought to our table. Our waiter was young but perfectly capable. Will return!

Nice staff, ambiance, and good food, plus Carmella gave our group a free cannoli for dessert , what's not to like....

Our meal was house Pinot noir (excellent), a Caesar salad(mild & tasty), short-rib ravioli (interesting didn't care for sauce) & pork chop special with mediocre potatoes. Will go back & order differently. Server was very nice & polite.

Too many tables made for a very noisy room. We will avoid coming on weekends. Almost needed ear plugs instead of hearing aids

Paula

Food was delicious. Short rib ravioli and veal saltimbocca. Sat outside and it was very pleasant.

The food was excellent! The chicken Marsala and the eggplant parmigiana were phenomenal. We will be back many times, I'm sure

Have been going to Bella Vis for years when it was in Highland Park/love the new location in Highwood-charming outdoor patio!

I've been a customer for years and always have had good experiences. This trip we ordered dishes (not pasta) which came soaked in butter and oil. I will go back as I like other dishes but hope they'll go easier on the butter and olive oil. It's a bit overwhelming.

We love Bella Via! The food the people & outside seating in the warmer months makes it even better!! 🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹

We went on Mother's Day for dinner and the restaurant was packed and noisy! For the most part the servers managed to deal with the volume but we had to ask twice for knives (forks only at first) and were double charged for one of our expensive entrees. There are a lot of selections on the menu. Prices seemed high but the portions were large. Most of the pasta dishes were over $30, for example. The food isn't was fine, not exceptional. But comfort food if that's what you are looking for.
