Bella Vista Restaurant - Ottawa

We had a great time at Bella Vista on Saturday, April 6, 2019. The restaurant was bustling but Roberto provided exceptional service to our group of six (which later became nine - a long story). He efficiently served our drinks and appetizers, while entertaining us with stories about the history of Little Italy. Roberto’s charisma made us all laugh, and my wife and daughter still can’t stop talking about him. The fresh pasta and seafood were delicious, and we have already made plans to make Bella Vista our go-to restaurant from now on. We were so impressed that we have booked a private function for 50 people in June. Well done, Bella Vista, from the Young family.

I've been to Bella Vista several times both eat in and take out. I have never been disappointed with any food choice nor have any of my dinner companions.pizza is great , chicken parmesan very good. They also have a very nice coconut cream pie . I would say if you are in the area stop in for sure.

My experience with Bella Vista has been a fairly long one. We would always order poutine from them on poker nights. I am very picky with poutine so I'm not going to say it is amazing, but it is good. <br/ <br/ We recently went into the restaurant on a Tuesday and had their specials. One was fish and the other liver. The special included a chick pea soup which was excellent. The main dishes were very very good as well, the fries accompanying the meal were perfect also. The special included a rice pudding which was at least as good as the one my mom makes. I hope she is not reading this...<br/ <br/ Overall, I have had nothing but good experiences at this place aside from the occasional stressed out waitress on very busy nights, but that goes for any restaurant, no matter what you say. It seems to be the go-to place for a very wide variety of people. There are always families, couples, elderly people, young people in the restaurant. I also appreciate the somewhat dim lighting.

Superb PIZZA!!!. We really look forward to our pizza nights at Bella Vista, The pizza (and Lasagna) are always tasty and priced right. Service is efficient and friendly, There is no pretentiousness here just a good place to decompress after a busy day!

Good Family Spot!. Bella Vista has great pizza for sure. They also have decent breakfast, but the waitresses are the ones who make your day. I have been there for weekend brunch before sit on the left side of the restaurant. The waitress there is awesome! She knows what she's talking about, she remembers me and my family every time we go. She even remembers what my dad orders (always one of two things). The food is always good. Nothing spectacular but I have not been disappointed yet
