Bella Vista

When the weather is nice, the large front window is open to the street which is excellent for people watching and enjoying your drinks or meal in the sun. We caught their happy hour (3-5 during the week) so we got to enjoy their $10 martinis! They had SO many fun flavors! Then we split an antipasto plate—delicious, high quality cured meats and cheeses. I had the veal piccata with angel hair pasta and it was divine. The meat was tender and the consistency of the pasta was perfect. I love love love capers and lemon, so I was ecstatic that Bella Vista had this on the menu and that it was so delicious!!! My friends had the lasagne and I think that’s what I’m ordering next time—it looked AMAZING! And we ended our meal with some tiramisu and a cannoli. Such a sweet treat! So glad my friend recommended me to Bella Vista, I look forward to returning!

I am from upstate NY and a good friend of mine recommended that I stop by Bella Vistas for dinner if ever on the North End of Boston. He knows that I love Italian food and suggested that this was the place! So, for my 50th birthday my wife asked me how I wanted to celebrate it? I suggested we stay in Boston and try the North End and visit Bella Vistas. I have got to say that not only did I have the best 50th birthday that I could ever ask for, Bella vista knocked it out of the park!!! The owners daughter (wonderful lady) was our waitress and she was the BEST!!! She took our order and graciously brought my beautiful wife and I an antipasto salad for us to enjoy and it was complimentary:). It was delicious!!! We then ordered our dinner. My wife ordered the Ravioli dish and I ordered the chicken parmigiana. My wife had no problem completing her dish it was that good. I had a hard time on the other hand as there was so much food. It definitely wasn’t from lack of trying I was just stuffed! The chicken parmigiana was delicious and the pasta was amazing! It was really tender with a nice crisp coating topped with an amazing marinara sauce with melted mozzarella. We had the window seat so the environment could not have been any better! When we finished our meal our wonderful waitress surprised me with a tiramisu for my birthday dessert. What an amazing treat served by an amazing lady!!!! When we were getting ready to leave, I was invited to the back and I was introduced to our waitresses mother (owner) who greeted me with a smile and hug. She wished me a happy birthday! What a beautiful lady! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and we will be back again and again and……!!!

We stopped in for their Happy hour, as they advertised $10.00 Expresso Martini’s. It was not only a badly made drink it was served in a glass so small it was laughable. We felt obliged to order food even though we just wanted a happy hour drink! The antipasto was not bad but atmosphere and small, not shaken espresso martini’s is a no return for my family!

Food was very good, authentic Italian. It seems family owned restaurant, and staffs were not professional. But food was very good.

In from Galveston TX. Morgan at the bar took great care of us. The food was excellent. We will be back in January.

Best Chicken Parmigiana I've ever had. I'm still thinking about that chicken! It was the most tender chicken, and it melted in your mouth!

Fast, fresh and absolutely delicious!! Every single dish was amazing! Pistachio Martini could use some work but still good. We will definitely go back!!

Incredible place for authentic Italian dinner, food was to die for, prices extremely fair, beautiful atmosphere open to the strip on Hanover. Lucia our server was an absolute delight to talk to. Cannot recommend this place highly enough
