This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food was amazing and we loved The owner Kelly - she is a hoot! What a fun time with friends. Definitely need to add Bella Vita as a must do if you are in the area.
Decided to stop here for dinner- what a hidden gem! !!!! We will be back to try the white fish and lasagna - every dish that came out of the kitchen looked amazing!
Northern Michigan is wonderful in so many ways. It has the corner on sun, fun, and beautiful scenery. Our only complaint has always been lack of great food. Bella Vita is a standout and definitely one of the best restaurants in the area.
We all had seafood dishes and everyone was happy. Nice atmosphere and all of the art is for sale so it makes it fun to check it out. Service is good, not great, but I think anyone who has spent time in the area knows the challenges these restaurants (and all businesses) face in finding such a huge amount of seasonal help. The staff was trying and it was appreciated but don't expect fine dining service to be totally ironed out.
Very nice dinner. From starters to desert it was good. Staff was nice. The exterior is nothing to write home about. The interior is better. But the food itself is great.
The seafood pasta was bland. Tiny scallops, shrimp etc. service was phenomenal! Our waitress made it fun. Don’t blink, you’ll drive right by it!
Was hoping to visit Thanksgiving weekend but understand they will be closed. Best appetizers and Lasagna-looking forward to going back in spring!
One of the best dining experience I have ever had. The food was great and the service was top notch. Parking was a bit of a problem but that was only because it was so busy. The help was so good we never had to wait for anything, but never felt rushed.
We have been here several times and it is always a great experience. Had a wonderful meal with appetizer, salad, main course, and dessert. Everything tasted wonderful. Such a great mix of flavors with no salt or extras condiments required. Atmosphere is nice and relaxing with everything clean and looking sharp. Service was outstanding and the staff works well with each other.
Last August 2019, the food was superb. Upping the stars to 5.
Two stars because we got a table! No more than that as it is mediocre italian food at sky high prices.
The roasted garlic is excellent! A must try!The marsala was good but the meat was a little tough. The butter nut squash soup was not to my tastes. The staff was very welcoming and attentive. I will definitely be back!
I loved that they were helping the school with a fundraiser, the food I had was good but limited due to being for the fundraiser. But since we got a taste, We will definitely go back so I can try other menu items. The service was great too.
Owner Matt was graciously accommodating, and makes great drinks and conversation. It's a popular spot, so call for reservations if you can. The food was great, especially the cheesy garlic app. We had scallops and rack of lamb - both superb.
