Bella Vita

Nice upscale Italian restaurant. Better than your average neighborhood Italian pizza restaurant. They serve upscale food with a nice upbeat bistro feel accompanied by a wicked bar and outside seating. Pro tip ask for the Happy hour menu which goes until 6PM and contains many premium dishes and drinks for under $10. Our experience: Our personal hosted waitress bartender Cynthia was engaging attentive and inspirational she knew the menu and glided us through our culinary adventures. She had great recommendations for wine and crafted a mean Arancia Rossa. I fully explored the Happy Hour menu, Caesar salad, Penne alla vodka and Lobster Ravioli which was the star of our experience.My wife a traditional Italian had the Bruschetta appetizer and the Spaghetti meatballs main dish. We even ordered a small pizza to go! This place offers a nice upbeat Italian bistro experience for everyone at every price point.

Went around noon on a Sunday. Restaurant was completely empty besides the staff , my party & i. No complaints here. Didn't really want a big meal so i ordered the Caesar salad (small). It was just enough, very filling & tasty 😋 Our waitress , Evelyn was friendly & attentive. This was my first visit to Bella Vita but not my last. Lovely place, nice ambiance. I look forward to trying dinner on my next visit.

5/5 ambiance & service – Lovely setting with wonderful live music on Saturday night, which made our unplanned visit extra special. The staff were friendly and prompt throughout. 5/5 pasta – Perfectly cooked with a well-seasoned pesto sauce, easily the best we’ve had in a while. It reminded us so much of Italy! Great portion and value. 1/5 branzino – Two small, thin fillets for $37. The reheated vegetables were soggy, and the mashed potatoes were forgettable. Portion and value were very disappointing compared to the pasta. We still like Bella Vita enough to come back, but next time we’ll stick with pasta.

We eat here pretty regularly. We found the place by accident from a company I was consulting with suggested this place. 1 year later I move to LV and this is the family’s favorite spot. My son had celiac disease and not only do they handle it well, the owner experiments with gluten free items and surprises us with them. Talk to Flavio ahead of time and try their gluten free meatballs. They aren’t on the menu and he doesn’t make them unless he knows we are wanting them. This place is just full of real caring people who happen to work and run a restaurant. The staff has almost no turnover which speaks volumes.

This little slice of heaven tucked off of blue diamond road is nothing shorty of magnificent! We had a tremendous server Luca who really cared about a quality dining experience. We tried a few appetizer from the happy hour menu and I must say they were incredible! The lobster ravioli had a to die for creamy pink vodka sauce with perfectly firm ravioli. The kalami and shrimp scampi we second to none as well! THE COCKTAILS ARE NOT TO BE IGNORED! Some of the best and most flavorful cocktails in the sin city. If you want high quality care, service and some of the best Italian cuisine make sure to cut some time out of your trip and make a stop by.

The "new" Bella Vita has been open for some time and the kinks should have been ironed out by now but they are not. My review of the "Old" Bella Vita was glowing and deserved high praise. The new Bella Vita not so much. I had the happy hour meal tonight and I really wanted to have this restaurant succeed. It did not in so many ways. The ambience and furniture is the same but no updates and the seat actually had large cracks and was very uncomfortable to sit in. I asked the very friendly hostess what time happy hour was and she said it ended at 6 PM. The official Bella Vita website says 5:30 PM and 5 PM respectively??? I asked the owner. Flavio which is it? he said "6 PM." and disregarded the website as if it was nothing. Strange. There is no dedicated Server to my table and at one point I had 4 different people stopping by. One gentleman spoke very little english and misunderstood every request of mine. I asked another server why this man was waiting on tables and he said, "he is the busboy" with no further explanation. ANY fine dining restaurant has a dedicated Server for a station. The willingness to help out was apparent but led to nothing more than utter confusion. I asked the Busboy turned waiter for some soft butter. he of course returned with hard as brick butter. I asked another "Waiter" if he could oblige and he took the hard butter and had the kitchen staff microwave it. Disgusting restaurant practice. The bread and dipping sauce was served by yet another server and the dipping sauce was a deep puddle of oil with a few dots of balsamic vinegar. Have you ever tried dipping bread in that? Well. you get nothing but oil, big fail. The bread was razor thin and somewhat stale, another fail. Ok, so I ordered the happy hour Fettuccine Bolognese and separate meatballs, (3.) I asked the Server when the "Homemade" pasta was made and he said "sometime last night." Hummm. The bolognese was uninspired and rather bland. The meatballs were very undercooked and mushy inside. I sent them back and didn't want a 2nd try. I also had the traditional Caesar salad. Nothing remarkable except the lack of crisp lettuce. Also, I asked my Server if the portion size is smaller on the happy hour menu and he said; "yes" but it is ok. Note: *Most restaurants will have a small note on the happy hour menu stating a smaller portion is served. the owner said "That is normal." I disagreed with him and used one of many examples where the portion size remains the same but the price is less at happy hour, (Yard house comes to mind.) I sat down with the owner, Flavio and gave him the opportunity to respond to the criticism and he simply said "many customers come back and our wine list is extensive." Wasted opportunity to address glaring concerns. Hummm again. No mention of the worn out seats remarks, no mention of the horrible dipping sauce, etc. I understand that running and owning a restaurant is one of the hardest things to do in life, but if you are going to assume ownership of a restaurant with previously great street reviews then you need to up your game. Sadly Bella Vita is a fail this time around, a shell of the former establishment. Some reviews you will see are all 5 stars but some of those glowing reviews have a sense of normalcy when it comes to mediocre food and service. I can only hope Flavio and his team can make the improvements which are drastically need. I cannot recommend dining at Bella Vita.

Excellent place for a delicious meal and prices are fair. Atmosphere is very nice with beautiful decor. The staff are professional and very kind. We had the Veal and the penne pasta in vodka red sauce and added shrimp. The shrimp were huge. The veal could have been just a little more tender but was very good! Our server was great. Highly recommend BELLA VITA. Great choice of beverages and desserts as well. Open until 9 PM and they do serve a complimentary appetizer as well as bread and oil with vinegar. It is was 83.40 for both of us to have a very nice dinner.

Bella Vita has reopened under new ownership and it’s absolutely amazing!!! Wow! What a place. Excellent food !! Excellent service!! Delicious cocktails 🍸!!! Bella Vita is truly one of a kind. They prepare everything fresh and you can taste the difference. The pasta is made from scratch, as is the pizza and every dish on the menu with very high quality, fresh ingredients. Everything we ordered was delicious! We absolutely love the menu , simple with popular Italian dishes and the prices are reasonable too! We highly suggest Chicken Marsala, it was made to perfection, not too heavy and chicken was so tender, just delicious. They have also a nice wine list and selection of drinks. We highly recommend them, especially cocktails were amazing. 🍸 The atmosphere is inviting and staff always friendly and welcoming. Server was well acquainted with dishes and drinks and extremely attentive and friendly. I love how the kitchen is open and you can see the chefs preparing your food. It was very clean and the lighting was perfect! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with modern upscale decor and they have THE BEST outdoor seating area too. Overall: The dining experience was awesome. They have every Friday, Saturday and Sunday LIVE MUSIC, and the atmosphere is fantastic! Also THE BEST HAPPY HOUR, definitely worth checking out this amazing restaurant! We would recommend this place to everybody who likes true Italian food and we will definitely go again!!! Truly a local gem. Highly recommended!!!

The food service was amazing!! The food itself was phenomenal, everyone was very friendly and even let us know what goes on the dish to see if you would like to try it or not. The bartenders were also very perceptive and would always check up on us to see if we needed anything else! They always ask for four feedback to see if there's anything they need to improve and although this is their opening week, they have skyrocketed the expectations! I recommend this place for great food and great time with friends and family :)

Excelente servicio y muy rica la comida 100% recomendada no se pueden perder su buen ambiente

The ambiance has always been amazing. New Leadership and the service is fantastic! People smile and seem genuinely happy to help. They're back open, and I'm excited about it. Even under previous management, I've never had a bad experience. I recommend giving them a visit. Fabulous happy hour with selections for everyone. Shared: Avocado salad, bruschetta, pasta bolognese and penne alla vodka w/shrimp-- all so delicious! Definitely ask for the drink in my photos! You won't be disappointed. Great place for a business meeting too.

The food, service, and Ambience were all on point. I guess it has reopened with new management, and the change is quite noticeable. The drinks were incredible, and the food was delicious. My wife and I will be coming back!

This place just reopened with new management 2 weeks ago. It's not what it was before and the changes are very evident in a good way so don't take the previous reviews into account. The food was delicious and the drinks were great as well, perfectly curated by the entertaining bartenders. Please give this restaurant/bar a try, you won't regret it! Definitely bringing my friends and close ones here especially for the happy hour!

The food it's amazing got an awesome taste the services was excellent our server was great and very knowledgeable so friendly and the ambiance was so cool perfect for the family, felt very comfortable and safe definitely I will come back soon. Very recommend

Under new management and the service is amazing! The food and cocktails are delicious!!

Food was ok. 2 of the 3 dishes we ordered were not that great. We ordered the fettuccine Alfredo which was good. The one thing I wish they did was NOT dice the chicken but the flavor was good. The penne all vodka and veal parmigiana basically had the same taste there was a slight difference in the sauce. The best thing we had was the appetizer fried calamari. Service I would give a 3 out of 5. It took a while before we got our water and order in. The server was fairly new and you could tell. there was no bus person it was just the server and owner? I wouldn't recommend this place as it was pricey and I didn't feel like the food was worth the price.

Let me start , the service is great , Food and Drinks are excellent, Quality of food , you need to try the cocktails all of my drinks were on point

I had an unforgettable experience at Bella Vita. The authentic Italian dishes were delicious, but the real standout was the bar. Their cocktails, especially the Blue Diamond and Sangria, were expertly crafted and full of flavor. With a fantastic selection of Italian wines to match, this place is a must-visit for both food and drink lovers!

Great service and food was really good and the drink from the were amazing would consider coming back here :)

This place is really great. I love the decor and service. It was a large party dinner event. I believe food was pre ordered. Bruschettas, Caesar salad, pasta, chicken parmigiana and salmon. Everything was delicious. I think everyone left the salmon with Asparagus, it was very dried, plain grilled. I've been here before and it is delicious. Pre ordering is trucking as the food will probably be made in advanced. A good chef thinks on dryness.. adding more dressing to a salad and on the side, as well as main dishes will probably avoid that issue!

It just reopened, and the place is great! Food and service were spot on. Wine selection is awesome - we had a Cabernet and it tasted like it was $100 bottle - but it was only $39. We had the calamari for an appetizer, and it was so good. For entre we had the osso buco so flavorful and tender! Chef Falvio is so nice and accommodating. He goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and makes sure you enjoyed everything! I will be back !

Given all the great reviews and their advertising of "obsessive Italian cuisine," we were curious to try Bella Vita. We actually went twice for dinner and found it overall decent but far from amazing. Reservations are easy to make through their website, and we were seated quickly on both visits. The interior is somewhat upscale. They don't have many booths and seemed to have mostly table seating. On our Saturday night visit they had a live singer which was cool. Service is very inconsistent. On the first visit the server was great. Super friendly and attentive. On the second visit we had a different server. He took forever to greet us after being seated, and he seemed to be putting in the bare minimum of effort. He wasn't rude, but he was a big change from the first server. He didn't go over the menu or any of the specials (the server at the next table did). When you're first seated, the assistant who pours the water asks if you want bread or garlic bread. They won't mention a price. Beware - they charge $2 for house bread. What restaurant does that? It doesn't seem quite Italian hospitality. The garlic bread was $8. One of our favorite local Italian places provides unlimited complimentary garlic knots with your meal. So, that was not a fun thing to discover about Bella Vita. We tried both the bread and garlic bread. Both were decent but nothing amazing. On the second visit the server said the garlic bread would be on the house since we waited such a long time for him to show up. It was still on the bill when he presented it which required us to remind him about what he said earlier (somewhat awkward). For starters/appetizers we've tried the calamari and the Caesar salad. The calamari was not very good. Quite rubbery. The salad was decent but nothing special. For entrees I've tried the chicken puttanesca and the chicken Marsala. The puttanesca was better with a robust though salty sauce somewhat akin to a cacciatore. The Marsala was decent and not overly sweet but quite light on the Marsala wine taste. For dessert I had the tiramisu. This was quite good and moist with an almost custard-like texture. It was heavy on the chocolate taste with virtually no taste of amaretto despite it being advertised as "amaretto soaked." For beverages I have tried the "Nina Mora" cocktail as well as moscato and Riesling wines. The cocktail was tasty and strong. The wines were also good and reasonably priced by the glass. Overall this was a decent Italian meal but seemed far from "obsessive" Italian cuisine.

Have family visiting from Hawaii & I was honestly excited to give this place a try, but unfortunately it didn't my meet my expectations. The ambiance was nice but the food was okay. The calamari was bland & we literally got like 10 pieces paired with a flavorless marinara sauce. I got the penne a la vodka with shrimp and give it probably a 4/10. My husband got the chicken piccata & the chicken was tough & the flavor was a 6/10. On top of it all, the service was not the greatest. She was rude & we felt very rushed. Also the prices for the quality of food was not worth it, sad to say we don't think we'll be returning.

I really wanted to enjoy Bella Vita, but unfortunately we did not have a great experience with them. It was mine and my boyfriend's last dinner date before I go out of town next week and I was really bummed about the service. With this place located 5 minutes away from my boyfriend's house, I chose it just because I wanted to try a restaurant that we haven't been to yet. The restaurant shares a lot with EOS Fitness, so the entire lot was packed. We did end up finding a space right in front of the restaurant. We noticed that it was not busy AT ALL on a Saturday night, which is sometimes not a good sign for restaurants. Maybe because everybody is at the gym next door? Anyway, we were given a complimentary basket of bread with olive oil. The olive oil had a very strong vinegar-y taste to it, but it was still good. My boyfriend ordered the spinach ravioli and I had the linguine clams. When the linguine clams caught my eye on the menu, I had remembered that I had them at a fancy restaurant in central California, and I had completely forgotten how good they were! Unfortunately, after we ordered our food, things started to go south. Our waiter came back and told us that they were out of garlic bread. Out of garlic bread at an Italian restaurant? Really? Because of this, the waiter gave my boyfriend a $15 gift card, with garlic bread on them for our next visit. And OMG, the wait time for our food was absolutely ridiculous. It took 33 minutes for our food to come out! 33 MINUTES!!! And yes, I timed it. We considered leaving if we kept waiting for our food for too long. Fortunately, for us, the food ended up being delicious. There was live music at the time of our visit. I couldn't see the musician because he was out on the patio, but he was very talented. To be fair, he kept me entertained while we were waiting. Though my boyfriend was given a gift card, I don't know if we'll be back.

We came out a while ago for happy hour. Service was a little iffy, there were several questions that our server had to go and ask about, but that's not a gigantic deal...they did mess up our second cocktail order though, which was a bit annoying. Food quality is alright, but if I'm honest, its not good enough for the higher prices outside of happy hour. We enjoyed everything, but portions on the shrimp scampi were SMALL for the price. The plus sides: the pasta is wonderful. Lobster ravioli was great, and Frutti de Mar was a generous portion, and quite good. Also, they have the BEST tiramisu I've ever had in my life. We'll likley return, as they're close to us, but probably not outside of happy hour.

claimed restaurant, but a brothel at best! Do not come here I made a RSVP and even called to confirm it the night prior and all was good to go I arrived at 6:30pm and I was greeted with a strong must when I opened the door and I seriously was taken aback and had to take a minute to cough Anyway I persevered and entered this ma and pop. Once inside i immediately clutched my rosary the manager looked more like a pimp than an Italian food connoisseur The staff was non existent I was shouted out at ""what do you want" I want my mommy you freak I ran out and went to Olive Garden!!!

Very cute little Italian spot. Service was great from the start. Love the small atmosphere with big vibes. We went during happy hour so we were able to try different dishes. Gnocchi,meatballs, bolognase, calamari, sliders, bruschetta & a margarita pizza (not on happy hour menu). Ended with tiramisu (my favorite) and cheesecake! Great bar half in door and half outdoor. Great spot to chill with some friends after a day of work. We will be back to check our more dinner options.

First time here and we had a big family dinner for 8 and food was okay, desert was good especially the panacota. We ordered a bottle of wine and some cocktails. The final bill was too much around $800 bucks. Not worth the price.

Had the spicy rita, calamari and lobster ravioli. Food was amazing and super yummy. The staff was so friendly since we walked in. The vibes at this place are great and the decor is beautiful.

We stopped in after a couple recommendations. We were greeted shortly after walking into the restaurant. Taken to a table and the waitress Kim took a drink order, gave us the nights specials and answered a few questions for us. After drinks came she took our order and brought the appetizers we ordered. Our dinners arrived and were excellent. The restaurant is very comfortable. If you haven't already been here, check it out.

I went here for a meetup for happy hour and loved it. They have a great selection of food for happy hour at decent prices. They also have good drink prices for happy hour, I wish they had speciality drinks for happy hour. The meatballs were huge!! I really like the burrata, never had it before but I was like this salad has a great flavor and good dressing. The gnocchi had the pesto sauce and I could eat that sauce with a spoon. I sat at the bar and the bartender was really cool and helpful when I asked about food.

We had a great time for Mother's Day brunch! Robert, Sergio and Giovanna all stopped by to introduce themselves and made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious, the environment fun, the live music was fantastic. We'll be back!

Came here for a Christmas dinner with a larger group. So here are the positives: Love the location at GVR Service was good, especially for a larger group. Drinks were nice and strong We had a variety of appetizers and those were all wonderful: bruschetta, antipasto misto, burrata, shrimp scampi, avocado salad, caprese. All of the apps were delicious and presented well. The reason I took off stars was for the main courses. I got the veal picatta. It was too tough, not even breaded, and the lemon in the sauce was overpowering. The pasta with it reminded me of spaghetti that had been sitting around for awhile. The hubby got the penne alla vodka with chicken and it just wasn't good. The sauce was very bland and so was the chicken. For desert we got the cannoli and the ice cream. You can't really mess up ice cream, so that was ok. The cannoli, while good, was very hard. I really struggled to give a three, but, since the apps and drinks were good, I would go back just for those. But, overall, I was disappointed in the experience.

Came here on July 30, 2023 - Sunday (today) - where their sign at the door says "We are now open on Sundays from 12p - 8p". My family of 4 walked up to dine at 12:05p. We had to wait for them to unlock the door. Once we walked inside, we noticed all the chairs were still stacked on the tables. The kitchen crew looked upset and annoyed that we showed up to provide them some business, after they were supposed to be opened and ready for business. It was ONLY when we walked in, they started to turn on the ovens and grills.. again - looking at my family like we are the inconvenience to them, not being prepared to open on time. The hostess went to the kitchen to talk to the crew and they kept turning and looking at us with those pissed/annoyed looks being directed towards us. So.. I told the hostess we were going to leave, cause they looked nowhere near ready to be open for business. Actions like this from businesses are enough to make this our first time and LAST time visiting this restaurant. Seems like "family" is a limited description. An immediate turnoff.

Easy to get reservations with open table that's a plus. They're expanding and now planning a summerlin location. I was a little shocked the menu charges for house bread but not sure I don't think it ended up on the check. Overall above average on the food. The risotto was really good but the braised beef I ordered was on the tougher side and not fork tender like I imagined. Desserts were nice but the spumoni was almost melted. I'm wondering if I should ask for it "brain freeze" frozen from now on? I tried some of the marinara and pasta and I think I will go that route next time. Overall nice place and vibes for Italian food

This restaurant has been on a decline for a while now. I just dined there with my family and it was disappointing. Nobody to greet us or seat us as we walked in, so we sat ourselves. After we were approached by the manager, I think, he got us a drink menu. I ended up walking to the host stand to get dinner menus for my family after about five minutes. The food quality is not what it once was, but the prices are the same. We won't be returning.

Came here just for their happy hour this past Friday with my husband. They have patio seating as well. We asked the hostess on whether or not they are dog friendly and it turns out, they are! So don't worry if you want to take your pup out for some happy hour fun. According to their website, they have happy hour everyday from 2PM to 6PM. They also have the menu online for you to browse if you choose to do so but beware. I did notice that there was an item on their menu online but it was not part of the menu when I arrived at the restaurant. Since it was our first time at Bella Vita, my husband and I decided to grab a few dishes to try: Avocado Salad ($7): Sliced tomato, fresh mozzarella, avocado, spring mix, and balsamic glaze. This actually reminded me of a Caprese salad but with spring mix at the bottom and avocado on top. This was delicious and super fresh. Meatballs ($7): Two giant beef and pork meatballs with tomato sauce and topped with parmesan. The flavor was really well done and the meatball is super tender. Penne Alla Vodka ($7): This was pretty good! Pasta was cooked perfectly. Sauce was creamy, not too acidic. I would definitely recommend this dish if you're here for happy hour! Order the meatballs to go with this! Shrimp Scampi ($7): Sautéed shrimp with a white wine/butter/lemon sauce with broccoli rabe. This dish came with three pieces of shrimp and they were fresh. The texture had the bounce in them. There was a good amount of broccoli rabe, which I am appreciative of. Unfortunately, I wasn't a huge fan of their sauce. The consistency seemed very starchy and the flavor seemed quite watery? It is a pass from me. We also got to try La Fin Du Monde on draft! I've had the beer before but in bottles and was pretty surprised that they had it on draft. If you like beer, definitely give this a try -- it is strong but smooth. The service is really good. Our server was extremely friendly and our waters were always refilled. The prices are not bad for happy hour at all -- it is definitely a fantastic way to try different dishes. The portions are app-sized portions. I would definitely come back again to try some of the other stuff on the menu and would recommend HH!!

Food was excellent cant go wrong with any of the choices! Service was very attentive and informative. Went on a slower evening, and it was definitely the place to be nice and quiet felt very personal me and the lady loved it.

Such a beautiful atmosphere, with a casual feel! Wanted a late lunch and ended up coming here during their happy hour which was 3-6pm! Very busy parking lot being as it shares space with other restaurants and a busy gym, but was happy to see that around 3:30, we could park directly in front. Noticed that they also have an outdoor patio as needed! The inside is beautiful and the bar on the other end looked to have plenty of seats in addition to the various tables and booths! We opted for a booth and were greeted fairly quickly by our server. Fairly attentive and very nice with a good team presence. (I noticed certain people checking for waters and refilling, some coming out with our food, as well as our server asking about our meal). Food: I was too tired of drinking that weekend, so I can't talk about that, but we had: Antipasti Misto on HH Blue diamond salad on HH Penne Alla Vodka on lunch menu entree The blue diamond salad was recommended by our server and was our favorite dish to eat! Sweet, with some savory, and very fresh! We enjoyed the Antipasti Misto as well! The portion on HH was still quite large and was a wonderful sharing portion in addition to the bread that you get upon arrival! The penne was good and fairly standard compared to the other star dishes we had, but I would love to come back to try their Frutti Di Mare or lobster ravioli! Overall, the HH dishes with lunch entree was a Stealllll. Loved that we got a wonderful meal for a great cost. Will definitely be back to try more of their pasta (which I was told was made in house!)

Just wow. AWFUL. I don't even know how this place has stars. The only thing that was good was our wine. So excited to try this place based off of the Henderson one being so popular. Our server was nice but he was also working the bar not his fault but they are so understaffed. It was mind blowing. I saw a family walk out after being seated for over 15 minutes and nobody even came to take a drink order. I saw another family waiting to be seated and left because it took too long. The place wasn't even half full. Our bruschetta was more like a mild tomato salsa on bread...no balsamic or anything to add flavor. My husbands salad had zero dressing and the chicken parm with penne vodka ( the best dish ) was served cold to me. This was just appalling. I don't even understand how they have business. Clearly poorly managed....

I could have given this place a 5 star easy but unfortunately it just missed the mark on several things: (maybe, we are used to a different type of service so we cannot be too critical.) I overheard some of the other guests state that their meals were taking a little to long to come out. It was true. It took a while. Some folks in our party only ordered an avocado salad and even then it took a while for it to arrive. It did look delicious though. My meal was bland and tasteless this round, I could see the vibe they are attempting to create but I was not feeling it. My Moscow mule was not good at all, so I did not bother ordering another drink... neither did my friends. Another guest must have felt the same way about her food she was pouring salt and pepper I mean I think I saw her pour olive oil into her pasta for additional flavor. We had a large group of people and obviously we enjoyed the company and made the most of it. I think I one point I just gave into trying to enjoy the night that I took my kid to dance because the entertainment they hired was just about the only thing that was Great. 5 Stars to the gentlemen signing and playing some dance "kids bop" music for the children to get their boogie on. At one point I said to myself who cares let's just have fun! I didn't finish my meal, the server was great, enthusiastic and all but at the end the billing was botched and I should have stepped up and asked for one check but when your with a large party sometimes who have to step back and enjoy the show! It is a bad thing if you can't even get the bill correct... Regardless, I want to thank the staff for hosting a 16 plus crowd on a short notice and we thank you for accommodating us. We probably will not be returning.

First I'm gonna talk about the location and decor. Good location and the decor is nice compared to other Italian restaurants I've been to. I made a reservation and still waited for like 10 Mins before we were seated but there's not many people maybe short staffed, not sure. Now the food, that's why I have only one star. I ordered garlic bread- it was plain , it has like 5 thin strips with no garlicky flavor at all, didn't taste the butter and the marinara sauce tasted like out of the box. Not authentic or freshly made. Calamari- omg! The WORST I've had. It's rubbery, no flavor at all not crunchy, no option for sauce just the same marinara given to us with the garlic bread order. 2 drinks we got, peach Bellini and limoncello -- can't even taste any alcohol. Can't comment on the peach but the limoncello and sprite is bad. No taste and I can't taste the alcohol, no lemon taste whatsoever... I hated it. For our my entree, I ordered shrimp penne a la Vodka. It's not as creamy as it should be, the shrimp flavor is not there, the pasta is undercooked, not appetizing at all, I only ate half of it because I am hungry!!! But if I'm not hungry I would probably just not eat it at all. The price did not match the quality of food, the presentation of food needs improvement to look more appetizing. Everything we ordered especially the food and drink looks and taste very ordinary nothing special like what they advertise "obsessive Italian cuisine" nothing I can obsessed about. I hope they can improve their food coz it's just really bad for my taste. I would not go back or even recommend it.

Me and my friend visited last night. Waiters was amazing very nice and place Was very clean. Oder pizza and 2 pasta. Chicken was undercook on both the pasta. Honestly I was very hungry so I eat mine and took some chicken out undercooked. My friend only eat half of it and couldn't eat his. Half way throw he said I am sorry take this back. Keep this in mind pizza was appetizer.it still hasn't came yet. My friend gave the pasta back. Keep this in mind they charge $28.00 for chicken pasta. Which will not fill you up at all. Long story short she asked to re make the chicken we refused and pizza came after we done eating. After 45 mins after we Oder she apologized about the wait. Pizza was good. Off the the bill they didn't charge us for chicken honestly no one even apologies from management. She said to make it up dessert on the house. I just said no thank you and left. Extremely disappointed. she didn't stop even ask how is the food. She did say they are short handed so I don't blame the girl at all. I might not be going back honestly. Kinda disappointed. Expected a lot from the place, it's clean and nice looking live entertainment, Food disappointed

Love the atmosphere here but food is hit or miss and the pricing is a touch high. I've enjoyed visits to the District location and have been to this one a couple of times with friends for HH and brunch. Overall, I would say the pasta dishes and salads are their best options. The beef carpaccio, Blue Diamond salad, and vodka penne pasta (add shrimp) would make a great meal to share. Food presentation is on point and it's a beautiful location with a great vibe. HH menu (Mon-Fri, 2-6PM) is online but may look different in person. It's a good option to try a variety of their dishes at a discount, but some dishes are such small portions that maybe they shouldn't be included (like the shrimp scampi). If you just want to grab a few small bites on the patio, it's a good time to go by. Brunch menu (weekends, 11AM-3PM) has a good amount of variety but we still found it hard to decide what to get. The smoked salmon carpaccio ($15) was the highlight for us, pretty large portion but only three crostini. They serve bread at each table though so it worked out. The avocado toast ($19) was served deconstructed, with tomatoes and bacon, making it more of a BLT than I expected but it was tasty. Some dishes here are a bit on the higher side for pricing than they probably should be, but not outrageously so. They have several events like karaoke and live music, as well as a great patio.

The food was decent but not great. The service was horrible and the place was half full. We had to ask for water refills 3 times. I think the Lobster Ravioli was definitely not freshly made. Bread and Parmesan were not offered. They were out of several wines on the drink menu. It was a terrible experience.

I was really excited to try this place but in the end much was left to be desired. Before i get into the negatives, let me just say the staff was amazing, friendly and really did try accommodating my friend and I. Staff deserves a 5 star. However, although presentation was on point, flavor was sorely lacking dish after dish. We had ordered two appetizers the beef carpaccio and burrata which both were bland. Our waitress brought us calamari to replace the beef carpaccio, it was slightly seasoned more than the previous two dish but was over cooked and chewy. My friend ordered the branzino with a lemon pasta but received a side of asparagus and potato wedges instead. I guess they had two different branzino dishes one off their brunch menu which was given to my friend and one off their regular menu which is what she had ordered. My friend was disgusted by the overwhelming "fishy" taste of the branzino. I ordered the bolognese and the pasta was over cooked and mushy. Pasta should be al dente. It saddens me to leave this review because i had high hopes for this place and again the staff was incredible, unfortunately the food just kept missing the mark.

We just happened upon this place. More like lucked upon it. It was the best little family Italian restaurant I've been to with a fun ambiance. The food was amazing, everything everyone in our group got was amazing, from the bread to the drinks, the appetizers, to the main courses. The new York strip, the spinach fettuccine, the mushroom risotto was the absolute best thing. We loved our waiter, Jovaz, the first night so much, he was so friendly and comfortable with explaining everything and just seemed happy and helpful with everything he was doing for everyone there, come to find out this was his family run restaurant. We were so pleased with service and the excellent food we came back in our short visit to Vegas for a second time on Saturday, and the ambiance so great, live music, the place was full and the service from Jovaz and everyone who served is was just as great! The food we ordered was just as perfect as the last time. The manager Johanna came to our table and introduced herself as Jovaz's mother (gorgeous woman, looks like his sister) and thanked us and she sent us out and dessert plate. I'm just sad I don't live in the same state that I won't be able to patronize this place more often. Thank you for a great experience!

Just ok. Food was kind of bland. I can't even remember what I ate from here. For the price would have expected more plus maybe some bread or a salad. Wouldn't come back.

I love the avocado salad here for when I want something light. When I want something heavier I always get the Johanna Parmigiana, basically chicken parm with vodka sauce. Decor is really nice, only parking can get full quickly.

We absolutely LOVE this place. It was our first time trying it out and it exceeded our expectations. The food was divine and traditionally Italian, not Americanized. The owner, Robert, is so pleasant. He sat with us at the table and made us feel home. Our server, Meghan, was super nice and knowledgeable. She recommended the Frutti Di Mare which is a seasfood linguini (one of the best I've ever had). We also had the Salmos bruschetta and the caprese. Everything was delicious! We had so much fun. Not to mention, the restaurant has a fantastic ambiance. We'll be regulars at Bella Vitta on Blue Diamond from now on!

I stopped by for the opening of their brunch and it is such a cute space! Very bright and fun it's a perfect space for a girls night! The staff were super nice and attentive and did a great job making sure we were taken care of. With all of that said, I have to report that the food was..... ok. Definitely not worth the price. I ordered the Chicken Milanese which was bone dry and not flavorful. Well that's a lie, there was a flavor. Rosemary. There was so much rosemary through the whole dish it felt like I was eating a bush . The salad was pretty wet and sad so I didn't end up finishing it. The drink that I got was the Giovanna Fresca which just tasted watered down. I couldn't really pick up on flavors of anything. I'm hoping that it was just the items I picked that were terrible because my friends got the pastas and said they were delicious. So maybe learn from my mistake and don't order those!

Unfortunately this place used to be great, though has been in steady decline ever since they opened. Great concept, though average food at best, especially considering the price tag. Food has to be pre cooked (cafeteria style) and not freshly cooked considering how fast it gets delivered. Olive Garden is twice as nice and half the price! Hardly any staff working now, no bread service like they used to. No offering of Parmesan or Black Pepper, was really rooting for them as the potential is great, though if this keeps up they look like becoming another failed business. Hopefully they change up the menu, get new chefs and get back on track.

Went here on a Friday night and it was crazy! Packed and had to wait 45 minutes for a table. You even had to wait for the bar! That's how popular this place was. The vibe was really cool they had a DJ/singer (Mark Aston who was amazing!) there and one of the managers was super nice and let us try some limoncello while we waited! Got to also stand with a glass of wine while we waited. The Malbec that they have from Argentina is amazing! All the food was delicious and worth the wait! We all had the caprese salad, linguini pesto with shrimp, chicken, and sogliola. Customer service was great, Anna was amazing, and the chefs and bartenders even looked like they were having super fun! Can't wait to go back!

It's been a while since I have reviewed anything. Covid aside, this star review is based upon, IMO, the "cuisine" and solely the cuisine. Take Out: Call their number and their prompts ask which location. Select the location and the prompt choices do not allow a "take out" prompt choice. So, I pressed #2, then #2 again and "made a reservation". Live Hostess answered and I asked, "can I place a take-out order?" She replied, in a very friendly tone, "Of Course". Order was made with only two requests" No croutons on the Caesar Salad. And separate the Rissoto from the Osso Buco." All was done as asked, even tho the order was 15 minutes late. NOW the FOOD: Most Italians are very proud of Osso Buco. It is hours of labor and preparation, and is a heavenly delight when cooked in it's marinated day long sauces. Look at the 2 photos of Bella Vita's attempt. Water galore, and no sauce at all! On a 1-10. For Veal portion it gets a 8 1/2. The lights above reflect the water with only a coloring of sauce. For the sauce, it gets a ZERO! Caesar salad: Seriously $10.00? The value is less than $1.00. Old decaying salad brown coloring. Brussel sprouts: 6/10 as they were crunchy, not overcooked but lacked any real flavoring. Lobster Ravioli: 6/10 for size, 5/10 for sauce, 2/10 for any hint of lobster. Definitely a steal for profit margins. Would I go again? Sorry. I'd rather spend harrd earned money on the Italian/Mexican Cusine that just opened on the West side. Their Osso Buco cost less and was a 8/10 on taste and 10/10 on the portion sizing. A-rriva derci.

We always go to blue diamond location. Sometimes 2 times on the weekend. Love the food,drinks,dj we are treated like family especially because Robert the manager treats us like family not just a patron. Gonna go back this weekend. DJH. Henderson.

I'm only giving one star because of the fettuccine was actually good. Other than that everything about my experience was horrible. Starting with Robert whitch I assume is the manager? Took my order over the phone, I ordered fettuccine Alfredo and asked for crispy chicken instead of grilled. As in a chicken parm with the pasta. Not hard at all right? You wouldn't think so. Upon arrival I come in and was helped and paid and asked him that the chicken is crispy correct? He said yes, so I trusted him of course didn't check mysel my mistake, left and had a feeling it was wrong and opened it to see grilled chicken not crispy. I called and Robert answered and after telling him he was rude right away. He said " what , you gonna turn around and come back for it or what? I said yes and he was like okay and hung up. No bye or anything. Arrived again walked in and stood right in the front for a while as he was sweeping up broken glass infront of the bar. Didn't acknowledge me at all. Not one word of give me a few minutes or nothing. I stood there and finally he passes by and says it's cooking it'll be a few minutes. As I stood there looking right at the chefs that were doing absolutely nothing standing outside of the kitchen I was wondering whose cooking my chicken? I finally asked after waiting a while than Robert yells from accross the place to the cook and says where's the chicken ? The cool points at the window or bar top where they out food when it's done cooking.. so that whole time I was there the chicken was already done and sitting on the window / kitchen bar top ready to go for me. Robert gets it and hands it to me hella rude and didn't even say one word to me and walked away. Not just that but the best part of it all, it STILL wasn't crispy chicken parm. It was the same exact grilled chicken!!! No wonder why there wasn't one table to be in sight, not one table in the whole entire restraunt at 7:45PM. And now I know why. Stale bread and was charged as well for it and wasn't told. Small portion of pasta as well. The smallest portion of pasta in my whole Life I've ever gotton actually. Pasta dishes are heavy and full , always left overs. Not this one my wife and I ate it and we still were hungry and had to get something else. Bella Vita salad was put together poorly with mixed greens that were just witty and had to pick out some leaves that were black. Good one Robert, I sure hope your not the GM or even a manager. Cuz not just myself but everyone I know is not gonna come here.

Came here for Valentines Day with a 6pm reservation and it was busy but not packed. Our waiter was attentive and we ordered drinks, appetizer, main course and dessert. All came out quickly and tasted great! I ordered the Bella Beach drink which was ok but very sweet (I'm not sure what I thought it would taste like when it's literally juice and vodka so that's on me). Calamari was just ok, I've had better but the marinara had a little kick to it which was good. My main course was the Lobster ravioli and it was DELISH. Cooked perfectly and I loved the sauce it came on, I tried to scoop as much of it up in my to go box. Finished with Tirimisu and it was also tasty, I would absolutely recommend that for a dessert! All in all it was a nice atmosphere, good food and I could see us coming back!
