Review by Elsa Quitzon

September 17, 2024

Bistro Bella Vita is a hidden gem in Grand Rapids! 🌟 The atmosphere is cozy yet upscale, perfect for a date night or a casual gathering with friends.

I highly recommend the truffle risotto - rich, creamy, and absolutely divine! The wine selection is impressive, pairing beautifully with their artisan pizzas. 🍕

We also enjoyed a couple of their craft cocktails during happy hour, which were refreshing and expertly mixed.

Service was attentive, and the accessibility features made it easy for everyone to enjoy. Can't wait to return for dessert! 🍰✨
