Outstanding meal. The food was extremely flavorful, seasoned well and cooked to perfection. The calamari unlike others I’ve had was lightly breaded with large pieces of actual calamari. The portion sizes were adequate and priced accordingly. The inside and outside dining areas were clean and well kept. Our waiter Manuel did a great job. His knowledge of the menu was appreciated as was his commitment to good customer service. I’d ask that he be acknowledged in some fashion. I would definitely recommend this spot should your craving for Italian food ever surface.

This was recommended to us from a coworker and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious. My husband got the short rib pasta and that was my favorite thing to try. The cannolis were delicious but a bit small compared to normal ones. The servers were attentive without being too much. Our water cups never were empty. We will definitely be coming back.

I do not know who they paid to get the Best in Las Vegas vote. It's a lie their is nothing Italian about this place but the bread that you have to pay for which was even then your basic sourdough with oil and vinegar. The bartender and the hostess was the most professional. The waiter Jorge was not he took forever to come to the table when it's empty in here. I will post pics to prove my point. I ordered a shrimp fettucini, asked for fresh parmesan since I noticed that when the food was brought out it had the parmesan powder that I would expect at a lower end pizza joint. I then asked for fresh parmesan thinking that they were going to come with a grinder since this is an “Italian “ restaurant…. Nope, I got the Kroger special in a jar. (Please see in pics attached.)Took one bite of the pasta sauce taste like something out a jar definitely not homemade sauce& the pasta undercooked and luke warm. When I finally got the waiter - Jorge attention and tried to tell him about everything started by explaining that I know he is not the cook I am not eating this… there are some things that are not right he cut me off ( rude) took the plate said I will take it off and brought back the check and ran. A manager never came to follow up, they simply did not care. This is unacceptable. The 2 star for the service is to account for the service I received from the hostess and the bartender unfortunately when paired with the less than 1 star for Jorge the waiter it averages out to 2 stars. All of this occurred around 2 pm on Tuesday December 19, 2023 during happy hour. If you are looking for real Italian food this is not the place I suggest you go elsewhere.

To describe this restaurant you have to start with the owner Sergio, who is a true Italian ! He has an Italian approach towards the food and the atmosphere at this restaurant, which is all about THE LIFESTYLE! You don’t come to Bella Vita only if you are looking for a great Italian food, you don’t come here for the nice classic atmosphere and the beautiful patio ,nor do you come here for the great live music ( which they have every evening) and above all ,you don’t come here for a passionate general manager Giovanna -who’s staff treats you like a family, you come here for ALL THE ABOVE, BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT A LIFESTYLE MEANS !!! That’s why we HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant!!!

This is one of our favorite restaurants to eat at. The food is good and the service is usually outstanding. We always treat our out of town guests to a meal here. They too look forward to returning. We have not had a bad dish yet. I'm vegan and will admit that my options are a bit limited. With that said, they are very accommodating. I am always satisfied with the Bella Vita Salad. My husband enjoys the calamari and bruschetta appetizers. He changes his main dish and has enjoyed every dish that he has tried. When the restaurant is full inside, it can be a bit loud. When the weather is nice, I definitely enjoy eating in their outside patio area. For a good meal with excellent service give Bella Vita a try. Update.. We returned for a very pleasant dinner last night. I reserved a table for four at 6:30pm, requesting the patio. Upon arrival we were instantly greeted by the lovely hostess and seated outside . They had a singer that entertained a full patio of guests. The weather was perfect so the patio was definitely busy versus the inside of the restaurant. They took awhile to get to our table but they did acknowledge us which is very important to me . It was obvious they were busy. Our server was Lewis and he did a fantastic job. The food was excellent as always. We ordered Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, Gnocchi Bolognese and Pasta Primavera and Chicken , and I ordered my favorite Bella Vita Salad. Everyone was very happy with their meals. The drinks were delicious too! We will always recommend Bella Vita!

This is absolutely a 5 star experience. Bates was so attentive and we never had to request anything. Great customer service. The restaurant is warm and inviting for a weekend date experience or girls/guys night out. Great drink and food options with outdoor seating available. The only downfall is the limited parking out front but there are lots all around the business. I highly recommend!

Delicious food, nice, friendly servers and staff. For our drinks, we had the Spicy Rita and the Aperol Spritz. We had the calamari and bread service for our appetizer. I had the Chicken Puttanesca and my daughter had the Penne Allá Vodka with Shrimp. There was live music on the patio. One very interesting element to the ambiance was the loud birds in the trees in the patio. We arrived around 5:40 PM. The birds quieted down once the musicians started playing around 6:00 PM. My daughter made the reservations via Open Table. Reservations weren't required. We dressed up a bit because we were celebrating a special occasion. Most people were dressed casually. We would go back.

The dining area and open kitchen were nicely done and visually appealing. The food was really good, especially the sauce on my pasta primavera. There weren’t many vegan options but I was glad they had at least one. The service is the only reason they get 4 stars instead of 5. Our server was clearly disinterested in being there and interacted as little as possible. At least he did it with a smile. Oh wait, no he didn’t. 😆

After a very disappointing lunch experience close by we chose Bella Vita instead and we were all glad we did! Bella Vita offers a nice ambiance inside and outdoor dining and the service here was nice and friendly. The Margherita Pizza was nice and big and also very flavorful. Looking forward to give them another try on my next visit. Bon Appetit :)

I've walked by this place plenty of times, but I've never even thought to stop by. Why not? My two favorite Italian places literally sandwich this place and I would hate to cheat on my faves. This place is always packed though and on a night we were walking around shopping in the District, we decided to give it a try. We walked in with no reservation, but it was fine because it was a Wednesday at around 6pm. There were a few tables taken but the restaurant wasn't full by any means. The hostesses were gracious and welcoming and sat us right away. The room is dark and romantic with plenty of seating. Our server was a bit bogged down, I think he may have been the only actual server of the night, with the manager helping clear tables. However, the service was still good because even if he couldn't take our order immediately, he still came by and let us know he'd be back. I don't mind waiting when someone does this. It's when we're ignored that I start to get annoyed. We ordered a salad to share, Veal and Chicken parmesan and the alfredo with shrimp. The Caesar dressing on the salad was the best I've had outside of making my own in a while. Creamy, garlicky and delicious. The alfredo here gets rave reviews and I understand why. It was so good, with perfectly cooked, large shrimp. The Chicken parm with vodka sauce was incredible. So good. I liked the veal parm but the cut of veal didn't taste like veal. It was chewy and fatty and not so nice. So why not 5 stars? I don't think that the price is right. It seems a bit on the expensive side, especially when the competition a few doors down has better pricing, and it's in a casino. Like, I'd expect to pay much less for the size Caesar salad we got. But I will admit it tasted better so I guess there's a balance? I don't know if I agree with that entirely but it's how I feel. Also, the price of the veal parm meant I should have gotten a tender piece and I did not. The cocktails were good but not worth the money. Also, the menus were dirty and mine was pretty much illegible. And the bread was great but the bowl with the oil and vinegar needs working on. Given that, would I come back? Absolutely. Gotta try the calamari next. That will decide if Bella Vita replaces one of the faves.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Bella Vita for Happy Hour recently. The selection of dishes available are excellent including 3-4 different salads, numerous traditional Italian dishes, and a flat bread. Having the bruschetta is mandatory for us; it's so well-made! The meatballs were good as always. My wife had the Happy Hour Shrimp Scampi and I had the HH Fettuccine Bolognese. We like the Happy Hour dishes as they are smaller versions of the regular dinner items which gives us the opportunity to enjoy multiple items. The house wine is fine and priced nicely at $6 a glass. We experienced superb service from the bartender, Skyler, who was also quite friendly.

I hadn't been back here in years, and was looking forward to enjoying a lovely meal with friends on the patio. My chicken marsala was a nice sized portion. The sauce was not what I've usually had on this entree at other restaurants, it seemed to have tomato in it. I didn't taste wine in it either, which is the defining character of a marsala sauce. I was definitely underwhelmed! The sauce should be the best part of a marsala. The cheese garlic bread was very good, and I also had wine with dinner which was reasonably priced. The patio is a great space for dining, even when it's toasty outside. Staff was busy, as it was a Friday night and the place was pretty packed. They had live music (one female performer) on the patio, which I'm not a fan of in small areas. I arrived before my friends, and the hostess made a reservation for us so we could be seated when they both arrived. This was appreciated, as we hadn't made a reservation. I would come back to try a different entree, and we did enjoy the outdoor dining experience.

I dined here on Thursday October 5, 2023 with a few business partners. I made reservations in advance just in case. There are 3 Bella Vita locations: 1) Boca Park 2) The District and 3) Blue Diamond. This Bella Vita is located at The District in Green Valley Ranch. "Bella Vita's mission is to provide a modern culinary experience with our team of dedicated award-winning chefs, cooking authentic Italian food from scratch using imported Italian products." And they did just that! Th experience was wonderful from start to finish. We opted to sit outdoors on the patio. The weather was perfect so it was nice to sit outside. Our waiter, Lewis, was attentive, professional and knowledgeable about everything on the menu! I ordered the salmon which was perfectly cooked. It salmon is topped with two jumbo shrimp, white wine, lemon, butter sauce served with pasta aglio e olio and sautéed asparagus. We saved room for dessert - the tiramisu was so good. If you love tiramisu, you definitely want to order it here! If you're craving Italian food in Vegas, I highly recommend checking out Bella Vita.

I wanted to like this place but it was sub par at most!! I ordered the grilled salmon which came with two jumbo shrimp, pasta and asparagus. I am dairy free and gluten-free so they removed the butter sauce and gave me gluten-free penne pasta when I received my meal the jumbo shrimp that were supposed to be included with it or more like a 45 to 60 count per pound size penne pasta was the worst gluten-free pasta I've ever had and instead of receiving asparagus, I got undercooked broccoli. All in all I do not recommend this place or at least the salmon!

It's Saturday and that means date night! Bella Vita is nestled in The District shopping center in Henderson and is a true gem. Guests are greeted with a very friendly and welcoming smile and are treated like royalty during their dine in experience. The restaurant offers multiple options for seating, including outdoor on their misted patio, at the bar, or in the indoor dining area. The entire vibe of the restaurant is poised and trendy, providing a refreshing and inviting experience. The staff is amazing. I initially ordered the Alfredo, but wasn't entirely satisfied. I ended up sending it back and our waiter was so gracious. He made sure that I was satisfied with my new choice (the Marsala) and was so amazing. From the drinks to the dessert, everything was perfect. The menu is simple but offers plenty of options for whatever you're looking for. We ordered the caprese salad, the chicken Marsala, and split the chocolate mousse cake to finish it off. Paired with their Pinot Grigio, everything was delicious! My experience here tonight was amazing. Definitely will be returning. Thank you, Bella Vita!

Birthday late lunch 2 pm for a friend celebration here. Service was excellent from the host staff, waitress, and our bus staff. The manager also came by to see if we enjoyed our meals. Our waitress helped us decide on their menu items since one of us was new and two had not been here very often. We each opted for different items: 1. The salmon lunch which came with two shrimps and asparagus. It looked delicious and my friend liked it. 2. The combo chicken parmigiana with the penne vodka pasta. Also decent according to my friend. And finally 3. The lunch sole fish with spaghetti and a small side of artichoke with butter. The fish was flakey and pasta tasty. They charge for bread here and next time I will pass. It wasn't worth it. Also too much balsamic vinegar in their olive oil. Also out of fresh Parmesan cheese for grating at the table. The mojitos are delicious. Fresh mint is awesome. My friend tried the one with cucumber liquor. She said just okay. To sum it up, 3.5 stars overall. Not amazing but overall a nice experience. The birthday dessert was delicious. Our friend loved it!

We decided to try Bella Vida today at the district, as soon as we came in, we were greeted by such an amazing aroma that immediately made us even hungrier, we were greeted by the hostess immediately & shown to our table 3 minutes later, our waiter William was absolutely on point and the food was delicious. I highly recommend recommended..

The best part of this place was the service. I had a 630 reservation and decided I was hungry at 5, so we went in early. They weren't busy and the hostess was super kind and took my reservation information anyways. A basket of bread is $2 with unlimited refills, which is silly in my opinion.. My boyfriend got the lobster ravioli, we thought the ravioli itself was one of the best we've had. I ordered the salmon, came with large asparagus and some noodles. It was overwhelming with garlic and had a very light sauce that drenched everything on the plate. The large shrimp on top of the salmon were outstanding, I wish I had just a plate of that shrimp. My noodles were a lil stiff, which is probably how they are supposed to be I just like squishy noodles lol! It all tasted great. Our server Adam was the best part. He was attentive and super cool. He asked if we wanted Limoncello shots and my boyfriend and I were like heck yeah why not. Adam later asked if we were celebrating anything and we said yes, told him what we were celebrating and he said that's awesome and he said the shots were on the house. It was an extremely kind gesture and that's the type of service I wish to have. The small things during a service really make a difference.

What has happened here? Holy moly...this place used to be amazing in all areas. Haven't been here in over a year and during that time everything has gone downhill! Reservations for 11am (opening time), upon arrival the door was locked from the inside. They used a cable with a lock on it so the door was slightly ajar. The entire time we stood outside employees were looking at us and doing nothing. I spoke through the door opening to the manager at the bar and he looked and turned around to work on getting the TV turned on. He never opened the door and now it's close to 11:30. Eventually we are let in and the bartender was the hostess, server etc. Ordered food and it sat at the counter for over 10-minutes. When it came to the table everything was like warm at best. My sister ordered pasta with shrimp but the waiter came back and said they didn't have shrimp. Previously their food was outstanding...nothing we had was flavorful, it all tasted bland without any kind of flavor. Inferior products being used and not even something I'd offer to my dog. Sadly this place is no longer worthy and is a waste of money. With all the restaurants to choose from my choice will never be Bella Vita. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere!

I have frequented this place many times in the past few years. They have definitely been through some changes! The food has stayed mostly consistent, but it isn't anything that special. I usually get the Penne Ala vodka because it's "safe." Sometimes they have eggplant parmesean as a special and that's pretty good too. The service is fine- it's never been bad or spectacular. The ambiance is hit or miss. Sometimes they have a good musician (guy with a guitar doing a mix of covers and originals)- but more often times than not, it's someone doing their version of professional karaoke. It can be cringe worthy. Sometimes we walk by to see who the entertainment is before deciding where to eat.

I've heard of this place and their multiple locations they now have in the valley so when it was time to try it my girlfriend and I put our palettes to the test. Simple but classic menu of Italian favorites. For the lady a chicken Marsala served with asparagus and potatoes. I opted for the special of eggplant parmigiana with a side of spaghetti vodka sauce. Both dishes were terrific, rich and flavorful as a classic Italian dish should be. We had a 3 meal ordered which was a NY strip steak done medium rare served with asparagus and potatoes. An appetizer of calamari prior to that meal. All of those items also were very tasty. One dessert was ordered a chocolate gelato. Nicely presented and definitely a hit. Server was definitely very attentive as well as additional wait staff. Would definitely return to another location to try some other menu items.

Came here for a friend's birthday. We sat inside but there is outdoor seating. A guitarist and singer were performing that night. I had the sole dinner and it was not disappointing. Overall, good Italian option.

This is probably our 4th experience dining with Bella Vita and 2nd at this location. The food was impeccable. We ordered a chicken parmigiana ,filet mignon and shared a Cesar salad. We got our daughter the spaghetti bolognese. We also received a bread basket and oil and balsamic. The server was super sweet and provided my daughter with paper and crayons to color. She was very knowledgeable about the menu as well. The restaurant was very clean and had upscale atmosphere. There was a live performer setting up up to sing to the dinner crowd that was starting to come in as we dined earlier in the evening.

Food is honestly quite good, but ridiculously overpriced. I understand inflation is hitting restaurants pretty hard at the moment, but when you get hungry in a matter of hours upon leaving the restaurant... then you have a problem. Somewhat small portions for unbelievably high prices. The restaurant itself was not even that busy (on a Friday night, no less) and our food took nearly an hour to come out. Our waiter made a good effort, but he had the personality of a brick wall. He got the job done, but was otherwise not very friendly. The decor and ambiance honestly just comes off as pretentious, as if we are on a high-end club on the Strip. To be fair, it definitely isn't the worst Italian place in Vegas, (since we did enjoy our food), but there's far better options throughout the valley.

The people who work here usually don't have a smile on their faces. You don't have to laugh uncontrollably, but unkindness is not a basic condition for service. I was hungry, so I ate, but I don't want to go back.

Yelp
Food is average. Girls and I came in for dinner. Probably won't be back because the Manager Robert Cosatazo keeps calling and texting me to go out with him. Definitely creepy old guy. I had to block him because he won't stop contacting me. Advice if you go into Bella Vita: Don't give Robert your digits, only if you want to get stalked.

Where do I begin? Bella Vita was remarkable! Not only the food, but the service and ambiance are impeccable. I ordered the Caprese Salad as an appetizer and the Penne Alla Vodka as my main dish. Both were absolutely amazing! I really wish I could've taken pictures to share with all of you, but I was extremely hungry, with my hunger only being fueled by the sensational aroma. This restaurant is well-kept and all of the staff that we encountered were very friendly. The ONLY MINOR flaw with this restaurant is the super loud music that is played in the restaurant. We essentially had to yell at each other to communicate. Other than that, perfection. Two thumbs and two toes WAAAAYYY up for Bella Vita at the District! Happy eating, my foodies!

Tried Bella Vita for my Birthday Dinner this year, and unfortunately we didn't love. I have to say i'm still on the search for amazing Italian Food in Vegas =( I usually always go for a Penne alla vodka, but bella vita's version was pretty bland. Desert was also bland, however their service was ok. Not a restaurant i'd frequent.

Bella Vita is in Green Valley among a number of restaurants. Walking in this joint has a cool clean vibe with a nice wall mural. We were greeted warmly and took a seat eating at that weird time between Lunch and Dinner. There should be a name for this like Dunch or Linzner. They brought garlic bread that I could only look, smell but not touch as I'm Gluten Intolerant. I ordered the GF Penne Pesto Pasta with shrimp. The penne was cooked perfectly and the creamy pesto with large shrimp was excellent. My friend had the chicken piccata that looked excellent. All in all a nice meal. Grazie Mille Bella Vita.

We had lunch or dinner today, October 5, 2023. I had my favorite salad-Avocado Salad. It's delicious. My boyfriend had the Fettuccine Bolognese. It was delicious also. Service was great this time. We enjoyed to be seated outside the restaurant. It was beautiful weather and place is clean and organized. Thank you so much Sara Moilanen for your exceptional hospitality. The best service ever. Thank you so much.

This review is for the Bronzino 3 of us ordered it & were very disappointed for $39 it was very dry & tasted old & fishy asparagus were over cooked, Two others had pasta dishes that were good & 1 ordered the special octopus which he enjoyed! I If there is a Next time I will try a pasta dish

Yelp
Delicious homemade pastas and pizza yum! The fettuccini noodles were my daughter's favorite and they were on point with taste. We have eaten at a lot a lot of authentic Italian restaurants and this was definitely on top list. Service is great and isn't necessarily the fastest but it allowed us to really enjoy our food Italian style. My husband enjoyed his linguine and sole which I am relieved because he is picky. My spinach ravioli was mouthwatering the red sauce with garlic had layers of flavors. The pizza though was all of our favorite. The tiramisu was deliciously made we should have ordered 2 though. Only negative was the take home containers were large & styrofoam, but I'm from CA what can I say lol As i was reading other reviews, The manager Sergio did pass by our table making sure everything was good. He is sharply dressed and cute as though my husband didn't think the same lol. Really Nice touch that the manager has time to check in at each table making you feel welcome. Been visiting my mom in Henderson for over 20 years & Never noticed this place till we were passing by & some couple said you've never tried you need to try. So finally, We are glad we did. Yum! We will return!

Bella Vita is an elegant yet cozy Italian bistro located in at the District in Henderson. I have been to this location a few times before at night and love the live music in the patio dining area. We made a birthday lunch reservation this time around. Staff are always on point and are very knowledgeable of the menu. We tried the butternut squash soup, and salad for appetizer and everyone had different type of pasta for entrees and a cheese pizza. Food was ias always! BTW- Cannoli's are a must try!

Yelp
I'm giving three stars based on service alone. Our waiter was so attentive and so knowledgeable about the history, the food, and the location. His name isHe was truly incredible. The food however was terrible, and I don't blame this on the chefs at all! The quality of the ingredients felt like "canned food" or something you could buy from a convenience store. Mind you we had the beef carpaccio, and it was the best prepared dish but the crostinis were rock hard. The charcuterie and everything on it felt like it came from a pre sealed bag and not prepared in house. The wine wine list was incomplete and what they had available felt stale and outdated. Please know it takes a lot for me to write a review this cruel. I genuinely try to only write positive reviews as I understand it affects everyone in the business however I will not be returning and was to concerned ti even try ordering a main course.

We've loved Bella Vita since it's opening. We haven't been back in about a year but we had extended family this weekend and were looking forward to sharing a great experience. We were a party of 8 Sunday night. Food was very good. Short ribs, osso bucco, Spinach ravioli, fish, and our vegan friends could only have salad. I love the frito Misto, Ceaser salad, and omg the burrata is amazing Missteps: No GF pasta Waiter did not know what vegan meant for dining purposes Alcohol: best wine available was Woodbridge. I had one martini and was never offered another. Guest wanted bourbon and they had 1 type of the lowest quality. We declined. I'd love to come back when I know the restaurant is ready. It was not busy and staff was fine. We took the Woodbridge and it was left on the table for us to pour ourselves.

Not sure why this isn't letting me "update" my review since I wrote one in 2019...well here I am, back again!! I've enjoyed this cute little Italian restaurant & it had been awhile since my friend & I had been here. I came across an add on Facebook & tagged my friend telling her we needed to go because it had been forever since our last visit!! She was all for it but what was friggin awesome is the owner, Sergio commented on my post telling me if I show that post he will give me a $50 GC. So my friend & I made it down there few wks later. I got to the restaurant before my friend. I actually made a reservation on Opentable...more so to get points. I requested bar or outdoor patio. I was able to grab two spots at the bar. I jumped up into a chair & wasn't greeted right away...........it wasn't too busy. We were going for happy hour (HH) so it was about 3:20pm when I arrived. The area in front of me was dirty as I had just taken someone's spot who had just left. When the bartender Jen finally came over to take my order I had to ask her to clean the area in front of me. I'm really into Truly's right now & they don't carry them. Jen did tell me they have the High Noon drinks which is vodka in a can. They're $7.00 a can & their HH vodka is $7.00 a drink so I went with the High Noon. I had to ask for a HH menu. Great selection of food choices BTW. Once my friend arrived I was a little jealous because she was greeted by Jen right away........My friend & I decided to order some food. She got the meatballs. They are huge in size & you get 2 of them on the HH menu. I've had them before & they're good. She got the gnocchi with meat sauce & shared them with me. Not to bad but I ended up getting gnocchi with the pesto sauce & really liked those better. My gnocchi actually tasted doughy as if they weren't fully cooked but still tasted good to me. The free bread you get is amazing!! You can tell its homemade & fresh. It comes with dipping oil & balsamic vinegar. I also ordered the caprese salad which is a favorite of mine & it's a hard to mess that one up. Their balsamic glaze is the BOMB. I actually ordered extra on the side. My friend got an avocado salad that she said was really good. The portion sizes on the HH menu are actually pretty decent & share worthy. I'm not a big eater so it worked out for me & my friend actually had some food left over to take home. My belly was getting full so I had to stop eating because I hate that full feeling when you over do it. There was a good amount of customers outside for dinner time then they disappeared. There was a lady setting up to play music outside on the patio when we left. I would of liked to stay for another drink but when the 5pm bartender came in she was annoying the crap out of my friend. Pretty female with colored red/dark pinkish hair color that was long & beautiful but she kept playing with it & flippin it all around constantly while making drinks behind the bar, she also was not wearing her face mask properly. She let it just sit on her chin.....THIS DRIVES ME CRAZY!! It doesn't work when you wear it like that. She never came to check on us & we closed out with Jen who ended up being really nice. My friend just kept focusing on the other bartender who wouldn't stop playing with her hair. It was very gross & unsanitary when your working a bar & serving food and drinks to customers. Another thing I saw that I was shocked at was one of the waiters had gone up to the bar waitstation & grabbed something out of a container with a screw top & used his bare hands to grab this thing out...?? olive or something & put it in a drink that he then took over to one of his tables & served......I have NO idea why he didn't use a utensil. No one should ever be sticking their dirty hands into a container of food. There was other waitstaff at the waitstation & I couldn't believe no one said anything to him. While we were there we met the on duty manager Eric who was really nice & he was doing such a great job running the place. I watched him interact with his staff, talked to them respectfully & he stayed calm during it all. Good management skills. He was even serving food & drinks to help his staff out. That's whatcha call Teamwork!! We also got to met Sergio,the owner & chatted with him & about his new location that opened up on Blue Diamond & I was able to thank him in person for the $50 GC. We also learned this place use to be a hair salon!! How cool is that???? I highly recommend checking out their awesome HH. Either go on their website or call for days & hours of HH. My friend had used Google & the HH hours there weren't correct. Bon appetit!!

I can't wait to go back to this place!!! Went for happy hour and then stayed for the night entertainment. The happy hour specials were amazing and affordable. I went with a few people so I got to try a lot of the specials. The calamari was cooked to perfection, the avocado salad had a dressing on it that I was red to take home and the flat bread pizza was def the best bang for your buck. Not only was the food on point but the drinks were too. They have live music there on Monday (and some other nights too I just don't remember). This guy was very entertaining and could blow that sax.

I go to Bella Vita regularly for lunch and happy hour. location can't be beat and in the right temperature, the patio is a go-to. Service is always excellent. Salads are great. the wine selection has something for everyone - only place i will order house wine! Indulged in penne vodka today which was a great choice - delicious! not too creamy, yet rich.

Great location in The District! I park at the rear of the property, always find a space and walk a few extra steps without the traffic up at the front. The restaurant is easy to find and has both indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is always super friendly and food is delicious. The pastas are fabulous and taste fresh. I feel they are short staffed as service can be longer than anticipated. If coming for a business lunch, plan 30 minutes ahead for the delays. Otherwise, the experience is great and I've visited a few times and would definitely be back!

The chicken piccata was delicious! We ate outside and the ambience was great. Service was good too. The food was a bit pricey (mine was $32) but it was worth it. Pasta wasn't cheap and didn't come with a salad. Mine came with pasta and veggie on the side. I'd go back for lunch. I would recommend buy be prepared to spend some money. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals.

Here is the thing...it's not bad food, but it's not really good either. I came here many years ago and I remember it being much better. Current state, not worth it. Here is why... I can name several Italian restaurants in a 5 mile radius that make their own pasta. Pasta Shop, Prosecco... Pick one. If you are going to eat packaged pasta, Costco has a great brand with many varieties. It's insulting to serve what I could make at home for 10% of the cost.

That being said, Bella Vita does it exceptionally well.., no frills excellent food and service with small business ambiance.. a definite must when in the Green Valley Ranch area!! So so good!!

I haven't been back to Bella Vita since our 1st visit in 2017. The experience back then was underwhelming. But, Bella Vita at The District has so many good reviews and is always packed, so we decided to go ahead and try again. We really wanted to love this place. We arrived and were greeted and seated right away. The staff was super friendly and we love that they have outdoor patio seating. Our waitress/bartender was super friendly. Due to covid, all staff were wearing masks. She had on a black lace mask, with holes in it, lol. It wasn't very practical or keeping anyone safe, but it was pretty! Salmone $28 2/5 Grilled salmon, topped with two jumbo shrimp, white wine, lemon butter sauce served with potatoes and sauteed vegetables. Salmon was overcooked as you could see the albumin seeping out. Shrimp were cooked perfectly. Veggies al dente. The reason for low score, it just tasted like nothing. The whole dish was really bland. Branzino $34 2/5 Filet of Mediterranean seabass, eggplant, celery, red bell pepper, and onion caponata, white wine lemon sauce. Again, fish overcooked and the dish was bland. We also used the 20% yelp check in discount. The server never saw the coupon before, and neither did any of the staff? Manager came over and looked at my phone and just said to honor it. Which we appreciated. Not sure if we are ordering the wrong items? Or maybe on and off day? Staff was friendly.

Me and my girlfriend visited BV last night for her birthday. I've been to Bella Vita several times. Last night was very disappointing. Ambience has changed. No more tablecloths, food was not anywhere near the quality as it was a year ago, server was lacking in customer service. No extra acknowledgment given for my friends birthday. We will not return.

I've heard good things and had high hopes but you'll be better off skipping this one! We went on a week night and the bartender had called in sick so our waiter let us know he was doing everything. I asked for coffee and he stated the espresso machine was broke and he could make me a pot but it wasn't good anyway. My chicken Marsala was actually very good but 2 of my friends had the pesto linguine and one was pretty good and the other was swimming in olive oil. The restroom smelled as if they had a sewer problem. For approximately $32 per meal it was a disappointment.

Super sneaky 4% surcharge for paying with CC. That they label as a "discount"! CC processing fees are not 4% so this is clearly a predatory business not to mention it goes against Covid safety protocols. Not coming back and not recommending this place to anyone. Not upfront about this at all. Stay far away. Also the lunchtime waiters are very ghetto

Definitely not the best Italian restaurant in Vegas, and not even close to good, in my opinion. Our first time dining at this restaurant was an underwhelming experience all around. I ordered branzino; my mom ordered sogliola; and, my husband ordered linguini pesto. We also ordered a bottle of Italian pino grigio, which was delicious. We noticed the bread service with free refills listed as an appetizer and also ordered it to share. First, our server never mentioned that the bread would be served plain unless we requested butter or oil and vinegar. Because she didn't stop by to check on us for a while, we asked another server if the bread service could be served with butter or oil and vinegar. He responded that it could but only if we requested it. We then requested it from him and he sent another server to our table to deliver it. Our server never came to ask if we wanted a refill of either the bread or the oil and vinegar. Second, the food was dry, maybe room temperature warm at best. The flavor was ok at best, thus 2 stars for the food. My mom's pasta was undercooked and hard, so she couldn't eat it. Third, our server came by at the end to pick up our plates. She never asked if we wanted a desert or provided the desert menu, or whether we needed anything else. The place was not busy and we were her only table. We waited for about 20 minutes after she picked up our plates but she never came by to bring us a check. So, we walked up to the hostess and asked her for the check. She tracked down our server and she printed the check. All in all, our first impression wasn't good. Neither the food or the service were good. We talked about it after leaving and agreed that this was probably the worst restaurant experience that we had in a long long time. We love food and frequent various restaurants but will not be going back to this restaurant again. How hard would it be for a server to provide information and options (e.g., bread could be served with oil and vinegar); to come by and check up on us a couple of times to make sure that we are doing ok (e.g., whether we need any refills of anything); to close us out when we are clearly done (e.g., she already picked up our plates; this was possibly the only time she came by our table after bringing the food)? How hard could it have been to provide decent customer service to the only table she had, a three-top? Unbelievably poor customer service and just a really bad experience!
