Bistro Bella Vita

The food here has always been excellent. Whenever I can get an entree featuring duck it's my go to. The staff cooks it perfectly. I've also been here a few times with larger groups in the back room and have had wonderful service.

This place is fantastic. My wife and I have came here probably close to 10 times. They have a semi-private room available that is great to use (we used it for a small wedding-related event). Friendly and knowledgeable staff with great food and drinks. Food is more expensive than your average restaurant but definitely well worth it. There isnt a massive menu but the multiple dishes I have tried have always been great. Highly recommend.

Great restaurant. The food was delicious. Everyone in our group of 6 loved their meals. The service was also amazing. The waitress (I wish I remembered her name) was exceptionally good at her job. She was always there when someone had an question or concern, nobody's cup was completely empty because she stayed on top of it. All without being too noticeable, she was very attentive of the plates and when people were done. And always made sure we were happy. Some of the best, if not the best, service I have had. The atmosphere was inviting and warm, and its located right in down town.

My mom's birthday dinner, 14 in the Wine Cellar room. We arrived early and got two cheese platters which included preserves, apple slaw, cucumbers and three different cheeses. Everyone loved them! Family style dinner with two beautiful salads (beet with cheese, walnuts, etc., and arugula with prosciutto, fruit, etc.), then braised beef (like a pot roast with an incredible wine sauce) and roasted chicken (great texture and taste), plus mashed potatoes, pasta marinara, and root vegetables. While the beef had everyone talking, we all liked everything. Dessert... contract said "mini desserts," which translated into three types of cakes with tasting portions for everyone... what a great surprise!

The Old Fashioned is the best! Service was amazing. We made reservations and there were parking issues that developed in the area. So they called us and let us know ahead of time. I have never experienced that. Wow! Great job!
