Cafe Bella Vita Italian Restaurant

I dined here for Thanksgiving dinner.
Many times, holiday service is spotty.
You don’t get a good representation of what a restaurant can offer when there is a holiday menu.
I found their menu to have a lot of great options, including traditional Italian dishes, as well as traditional Thanksgiving fair. Most importantly, service was great.
While the restaurant was quite crowded, the service was never hurried, rushed, or lacking.
The wait staff was on point. The food was delicious.
The atmosphere was relaxing, not too noisy or chaotic.
Even the restrooms were immaculate.
I met the owner and thanked her for a lovely Thanksgiving meal experience.
We will be back to dine and try their regular menu one day soon.
Highly recommend Café Bella Vita.

Owner response

Whether you're seeking a quiet corner for introspection or a place to gather with friends, Cafe Bella Vita caters to both.
The versatility of the space, combined with the culinary excellence, makes it an ideal destination for various occasions. In conclusion, Cafe Bella Vita is more than just a cafe; it's a haven for those in search of tranquility and culinary delights.
With its inviting ambiance, exceptional menu, and attentive service, it has rightfully earned its place as a go-to spot for those who appreciate a holistic dining experience.
I left with a satisfied palate and a sense of contentment, eager to return and explore more of what this delightful cafe has to offer.

The portions were enormous and the place was surprisingly elegantly appointed for a place in a strip mall! For $40 we got essentially a 5 course meal: bread, salad, appetizer, entree, and dessert.
Basically 2 whole meals for $40.
Not too shabby! Their salmon with champagne sauce was quite good.
Their tomatoes were unfortunately just so-so which is surprising given it was summertime when we dined.
The "parfait" was literally just ice cream and the other desserts were pretty average as well.
Clearly not a place that employs an Italian pastry chef. One of the waiters seemed very cranky to be there but the other staff were charming and lovely. Overall, great value!
