I just want to thank "Jason Statham" for restoring my faith in Hanover St dining. After a horrible experience at Nando the night before where we waited 90 minutes past our reservation time, hearing him say to incoming people, "Sorry Folks, we are fully Booked tonight" melted my heart. This was while seated at our cozy corner table where we were seated 3 minutes from our reservation time. He made us feel like family and waxed poetic about Melodramatics. Just amazing!

This review is a few years late but I brought my mom here and we had a wonderful time. The food was fantastic, however, I have to say the most memorable part was the service. Thank you to Tony for your recommendations and taking care of us!

We found this small and cozy restaurant on Easter Sunday for our family lunch and my pre-Boston marathon good quality carb loading exercise. Our host Tony was very friendly and attentive and he gave us a lot of information and historical facts about Boston, its history, and the neighbourhood. Food was great and portions were generous. It was definitely one of the best meals we had during our week in Boston. Thank you Tony & the Team.

You must have reservations or you’ll be turned away. I had clam linguine, it was good, needed more garlic. Service was good, allow 1 1/2 hours for dinner. Very small.

After a traveling hiatus we returned to my favorite and the best italian restaurant anywhere. We had not been to Boston in over 5 yrs and were glad to return to see Tony still here running the show,imparting his wisdom to the "mortals" and turning out the finest Italian dishes. Nothing fancy - just simple basic dishes with great taste,great ingredients, great sauce in a quiet relaxed environment- and of course there is Tony. Been coming here for almost 20 years and can't wait to return on the next trip.

We had a wonderful meal at Bella Vista two days ago. Manager Tony served us and not only was the food delicious, ample and reasonably priced but Tony was the icing on the cake. He was attentive, polite and friendly and even entertaining after we spent a short time chatting with him. I would definitely recommend Bella Vista and if I'm ever in Boston again I will be back!

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. The food was delicious and the staff super attentive. Very reasonable prices on food. Wine was a bit high but was very good and was recommended by staff. Description is fitting “low key”. Clean. Comfortable. Would eat there every time I’m in north end.

I literally never review anything. The food is absolutely amazing. This was the best meal I had on my trip, very authentic Italian food. The tiramisu is amazing and the owners are kind and friendly. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an authentic experience and to support a local business. I will definitely be back.

Wonderful family owned restaurant. Warm hospitality match by delicious and finely prepared foods. The fried calamari was absolutely scrumptious. This is a dish I enjoy but usually stay away from because it's typically over breaded, over fried and greasy. This was perfection. Lightly breaded, lightly fried and crisp. We have the sea bass. Frankly it wasn't just good, it was crazy good. Chicken parmesan was good and their house Chianti is a nice match for anything you would have a red wine with. If you have Lucia wait on you, tell her you read the review from the group of Texas at New York clowns. If your experience was anything like ours you won't be disappointed.
