Outstanding food! It was restaurant week , so we ordered off the special menu. Watermelon salad (mouth watering) Goat cheese ravioli...amazing flavors in every bite. Desert was equally delicious! Espresso Martini is the best in. Town!
went with my significant other on a Sunday afternoon. amazing atmosphere amazing food great staff and large wine selection! cant wait to go back!
Fantastic! Went there for my birthday, and was impressed. Service was quick, along with delicious food. The scallops were perfectly cooked. I had the black spaghetti, and would order it again. The shrimp in all of our dishes were a little over cooked, hence the 4 stars. The half chicken was a nice wholesome meal.
Cocktails were exceptional (and marked down for happy hour)! I particularly enjoyed the Pink Lady martini. Food was great. Really enjoyed the tomato bruschetta!

Went for our anniversary on a recommendation, atmosphere was not what we were intending for. We were looking for more of an intimate setting and that you could talk to one another without shouting. We quickly realized this is a perfect restaurant for large gatherings where you can be loud and still get decent food. I got the 4 cheese ravioli, it was undercooked along the edges of the pasta, sauce was watery and had random celery, carrots and cauliflower on top which made no sense to the dish. Husband got the filet mignon, he asked for medium rare and found it was closer to medium well the more he cut into it. The BEST PART of this restaurant was our server she was professional and super accommodating. She walked by and noticed my husbands steak and immediately offered to either take it back for a fresh steak or remove from the bill. My husband didn’t want to be a pain and so he said if it’s no trouble he would take a new steak, which came back cooked perfectly. They also offered either a free champagne 🥂 toast or deserts on the house for our anniversary, we opted for the tiramisu to go, had for breakfast the next day. Also they offer a cork fee of $25 a bottle so we were able to bring a nice bottle of Amarone in which cost would’ve been much different otherwise.
Since it was happy hour and I was still on the clock couldn’t drink I got the garden grove free spirit and it was amazingly delicious, I got the salmon entree and it did not disappoint at all .
We were there celebrating my daughter's wedding. The staff were amazing. Super patient with our party guests.
Such a great restaurant. I ordered the salmon and it taste soooooo salty, I drank lots of water💦
But this restaurant has really great atmosphere, it’s a good choice to hang out with friends in downtown
Bistro Bella Vita never fails to exceed my expectations. Stopped for a appetizer and a margarita. The tequilla in their drinks is wonderful. I had the meatballs, the veal/pork blend was delicious. I highly recommend everyone try this downtown GR hot spot.
Every person I interacted with here was so friendly and happy to be there. The food was AMAZING. I don’t think I’ll ever have fries that good anywhere else for the rest of my life. I got the rotini with chicken and it was phenomenal. My friend got the salmon and it was cooked perfectly. Everything was fabulous. Make a reservation!
Celebrated my birthday with family and it was a great evening. We've been here before and have had very good meals in the past. Tonight was no different. Food was delicious and the service and atmosphere top notch
I would highly recommend for a special occasion or date night.
The food was unique and savory. Not your run of the mill choices. Great place to have a date with a certain positive experience. No lack of imagination with food and drink but a very real experience. Cassidy owned his bar space and created his martinis to perfection. He maintained his space without missing a single need from the entire bar length. Its obvious I have a soft spot in my heart for this place but it has passed the test of time with ease.
