   The food was great having started with the burrata and each ordering a pasta dish. We tried the special on this night and it was wonderful. We each ordered a drink the black walnut old fashioned is unique in the touch of cinnamon and walnut flavors. Has a smokey flavor and a slight bite at the end. What really stuck out this time was the desserts. We ordered the crème brûlée and the tiramisu, both were amazing. Our server was on point all night and had great timing with bringing out food. This has continued to be a great place for dinner for date night.

   We had dinner here for the first time ever having lived in the springs for over 7 years and it was Amazing!! I had the special ravioli with spinach and cheese on aurora sauce and my husband had the baked manicotti. Everything tasted absolutely delicious and I would have finished it if I didn’t stuff myself on bread, bruschetta and a cheesecake with orange I don’t remember what it was called. Service was excellent, kind, knowledgeable and quick. We will be back!!!

   Excellent restaurant, wonderful food! I'd recommend sitting at a table vs booth. The booths are saggy and uncomfortable, leaving you feeling like you're a child sitting at the adult's table.

   Reminded me of eating in Italy. The chef's sauces are different and better than what you normally find in America.

   We thought our server was outstanding and took the time to go over the menu with us to help us decide what to order. I will say we were sadly disappointed in the food. We didn’t think it was as flavorful as other reviews we had read about before going. My husband and I both ordered drinks that were good. We both thought that the amount of money that was charged with too much for what we ordered and compared to the overall taste of the food. Unfortunately, we would not go back.

   We were very satisfied overall. Both service and food met our standards. The only criticism would be the booth seating. The seats were too soft and covered in cloth upholstery which made sliding in and out a challenge. Also, I sat too low making the table too high. The tablecloth was too big and draped onto our laps, also contributing to the challenge of getting in and out of the booth. However, we would go here again, but request a table with chairs.

    Wonderful food, presented beautifully! Hostess was lovely. Booths are rough on your back, ask for a table. Wish they had curtains on windows, no one likes to look at office built. But truly the food out weighs all of that! Will be back for sure!

    Mediocre. Server seemed untrained. Did not discuss specials or ask about salads or appetizers. Brought a bottle of beer to the table and we had to ask for a glass. Bread was delicious and entrees were good. Chicken parmigiana had potatoes with it. Pasta was expected. Very noisy with no sound absorption. Had to ask for blinds to be lowered to get sun out of our eyes.

    I loved the food and the service. Both were very good. My only complaint about the restaurant is the noise. It is difficult to have a normal level conversation. La Bella Vita is a very loud restaurant.

    What a wonderful Mother's Day treat! The food was fantastic. Several people making sure we had what we needed. Topped off with a red rose. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the day.

    We were put into a small room with absolutely no ambience. We could smell the swimming pool above. The service was great and the food was very good but it was difficult to even talk because the noise level was so high. There were a couple of noisy tables and the room was so small that we could hear every word. This was my first time at the restaurant and it will probably be my last.

    We were told that there were several gluten free pastas to choose from. There was only rigatoni that was average. Both of our sauces were average. We had to pay an extra $7 for the gluten free pasta. My meal ended up being $38 and my wife’s $33. We shared a $14 salad. The only thing priced reasonably was my $7 house Chianti which was also average.

    In the area we were in it was extremely loud. There was a large table We asked to be moved, but they were unable to do so. My Veal was OK. Some of the people in our party really enjoyed their dinner. I will go back and try again.

    My husband and I had a lovely first visit to the restaurant. Our server was super friendly and engaging and wonderful in making recommendations. The timing of our food coming out was perfect and what we loved the most was the amount of sauce on our entrees!! We are major sauce people and it was so delicious. We’ll definitely go back again! Highly recommend!

    Way too noisy. Very difficult to speak with my spouse. I had to cup my ear in order to hear and I do not have a hearing problem. Very disappointed. Otherwise, the service was good and our waiter was attentive. Food was so-so. Will not go back simply because of the volume of the dining area. Too bad because it used to be a quiet place to have dinner.

    This was a birthday celebration dinner. The food and service were excellent. My only comment is the restaurant is a little bright. I had fettuccini pescatore. The restaurant accommodated substituting spaghetti for the fettuccini. Very good. We had tiramisu and a complimentary profiterole for dessert. I will go again for a special occasion.
