Love this Italian restaurant - true to the name of the area! I have taken my in laws here for dinner and they have been impressed with the food and service of this place. (Phew!) highly recommended!

We went out for a stroll in Little Italy on a beautiful summer evening and decided to make a stop at this restaurant. Yelp's rating was only 3.5 starts but we decided to take a chance and I'm glad we did! The homemade fettuccini pasta was excellent with my Bolognese sauce and my son's Alfredo sauce with chicken. The server was attentive without being overbearing. I like when a restaurant we visit without any expectations turns out to be a pleasant surprise when we travel.

Great food & excellent personable service. We had an awesome meal with locally sourced ingredients. Would come back again.

I took my friend out for dinner; a friend I hadn't seen in months. We wanted to go for Italian food, have a couple of drinks and enjoy a lovely evening of catching up without being rushed.
I suggested that we go to Bella Vista Trattoria because I had walked in once with a friend and remember enjoying the food and having a drink without it being expensive.
My friend and I definitely made the right choice of reuniting at Bella Vista. Our server, Roberto, was super friendly, warm and knowledgeable of the menu and pairing of the wine. He definitely made the evening extra special and memorable.
The restaurant offered a delicious and warm homemade bread. Then we shared the mixed greens salad to start. My friend had the homemade gnocchi as her entree and I had the homemade fettuccine bolognese. The entire meal was delicious!
I also enjoyed the wine suggestion Roberto made for my pasta; the glass of Merlot was the right fit for it.
We never felt rushed by him, which allowed us to truly enjoy catching up.

It was an excellent night! I will come back and I definitely recommend it.

Tutti Benni !! Bravo !!!

My wife and I came for dinner last Saturday night (July 7). What a dinner! We had and an experience. First off, the place was packed and we were not sure about staying because the waiter was passing by us at 100 miles an hour. Luckily he did (his name was Roberto). He was an incredible Server at that. We loved everything we ordered and had a really enjoyable evening. Unfortunately we do not live close to Bella Vista, but if we did, it would be our go to spot. Amazing Ravioli stuffed with Butternut Squash and super amazing Seafood Linguinni !!! And the desserts - Mamma Mia !!! Really nice restaurant. We will be back in town next month and we will certainly be going to Bella Vista. Grazie.

great food .... great staff !

Great food, great place, great staff! What more can I say!

Amazing food, staff is amazing. Must eat here if you like italian food.

rockstars service and best pasta dish with great music makes this place 416exy approved ????

Real authentic Italian food with great service.

This can be very busy at times and service will inevitably suffer but it's not like they understaff or anything. The food was delicious though, I had an excellent osso buco not too long ago.

We came here last week because we wanted a meal out on the patio and thought we'd give this small family-run restaurant a try. We ordered the gnocchi bella vista and quattro staggione and we were not disappointed. The food was fresh and tasty, while the server was kind and attentive. We would definitely come back.

Great Food! Not many people there so the service was great!

This has got to be the best place on College street to eat. I have been there a few times already and tried something new everytime and the food is always amazing. The service is very friendly and unpretencious. Definately going back and recommending it to all my friends.

Great food. Service was a bit slow, but it was busy so understandable. The food was delicious. The patio was great.Can't wait to come back!

Classy, modern, upscale place with a very reasonably priced menu. Great for a romantic weeknight dinner or a fun weekend gathering with family or friends. ..Love this place! Food's great too, paired with some of the world's finest wines!

One Friday night while in Little Italy.. I was in search for a quiet place that I could enjoy with a female friend, I decided to pass on the popular posh joints and settled into this low key restaurant which looked some what family run but professionally run.. to best describe it.. it's similar to the good looking quiet girl at the party that had everything going for her and didn't need all the flashy bling and labels that the rest were fronting. Not packed, not loud.. it was just right! and I was instantly a fan.. I decided to see what this place was made out of and ordered the most expensive items offered.. Special was Beef Tenderloin and Alaskan Salmon which we both ordered with some red wine. Now to describe the food as I dined.. it was amazing.. the beef melted in my mouth as easy as the salmon did.. and both dishes were cooked perfectly.. I never tasted anything so good and would recommend this place to anyone who appreciates great food.. and to top it off.. the head chef himself came to my table and introduced himself. This is by far my personal favorite destination in Little Italy.

The service was awesome... I've seen some places where the serving staff aren't as friendly during the Winterlious/Summerlicious events but our server was outstanding. I look forward to going back. Did I mention the food was awesome... The Butternut Squash Ravioli and the stuffed chicken were outstanding.

Yours truly,
Pleased Winterlicious Guest... :)
