Bella Vita - Johnson City

3.5 honestly. First thing I saw walking in was that the exterior door to the kitchen was propped open. Yes it was hot and their AC was on the fritz, but this is an invitation for rodents and bugs. We were seated quickly (busy Saturday night) and our server was good. He was gone for a while (we were out of drinks) but he was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We had the cold antipasto and the mussels in Vodka sauce. They were both amazing but there were 4 or 5 mussels thatdidn 't open while cooking so a no go on those. They bring fresh bread to the table and keep it stocked. It was near perfect. The house chianti was very good. The beer offering fell short, especially for this area. For the main course, wehad the carbonaro and the rollatini ala margarita. The carbonaro was fine. Not the best but hearty. The rollatini was very overcooked and the chicken was dry. The dessert was the biggest disappointment. The blueberry layer cake withwhite chocolate icing looked amazing but the actual cake tasted like the kitchen to be honest. I assume it was baked and cooled open air in the kitchen and absorbed the flavors.

We love this restaurant and have visited here frequently. The food is wonderful and service has always been great. However, we ordered takeout tonight and our bread was burnt nearly to a crisp. I?m only leaving this review because this is not the norm. I love their bread! But I?m shocked someone would put this in our to go order. Would you guys serve this at your restaurant? Ordered on 8/29/21 and picked up around 830. Please don?t send us burnt bread again :

Nice quiet atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious. The owner greeted our table and I thought that was nice. The wait for food wasn't long at all. The wine selection was phenomenal. It's a must try place for sure! The picture I provided is the Bailey Pizza with added mushrooms. Try it!!!

I went in on a Friday night was seated almost instantly. Waitress was very nice and helpful. We went with the large pizza atmosphere was very romantic and comfortable. Menu was very good. I highly recommend this place for date night.

The restaurant is small but we didnt have an issue of having to wait, we were seated immediately. The food was great and the portions are huge, me and my husband could've split a meal. I didn't give 5 ?? because it was so hot in there, not sure if they were having an issue with the AC but it made it hard to enjoy our meal.
