    a plate of spaghetti with meat and sauce

    Delizioso! True authentic Italia! I'm from Brooklyn, visiting mi famiglia, and this ristorante is top notch! I could not have cooked it better, myself! Fantastico!

    I've eaten here numerous times and everything has been superb, until today. It was very hot working outside today so a hearty salad sound like it would fit the bill. We both ordered the Giardiniera salad. It was a large salad loaded with a variety of veggies. Italian meets and cheeses. Looks amazing but into a few bites we became aware of an overwhelming taste of salt. The marinated carrots and cauliflower were almost inedible. We asked the server if this was how it was supposed to be? she answered "yes, this was an Italian customary marinade." We were a little disappointed because otherwise, the salad would've been excellent if it wasn't so salty. Personally, I love salt, adding it to everything I eat! So, this was surprising to me that it was inedible to my palette. I'm disappointed because the dish has so much potential for a menu favorite for both of us! We simply picked out those items. I wouldn't order it again if, this is not correctable. I'll stick with their other wonderful dishes, like eggplant Parmesan, pizza, and seafood mix over pasta!

    Their food is always on point. The linguine with clams and the lasagna are two of my favorites. Everyone is always extremely nice!

    Is this place permanently closed? The recorded phone message says they have staffing issues and are closed.

I had a bagel sandwich with 2 over easy eggs, bacon, and American cheese (see pic). Come to find out, one of the workers graduated from culinary school and she makes the bagels herself. For dinner I had the pesto chicken sandwich that has a crazy list of toppings but is amazing as well (chicken cutlet, pesto, chipotle mayo, spinach, onion, banana pepper). This is a hidden gem!!

    B is for Bella Vita…read more Continuing my restaurants been to with g/f, Bella Vita was a lifesaver. My g/f parents have a house near Smith Mountain Lake, and we were down there the week of 4th of July 2024. On Saturday, July 6 we were going to Vinny's (which she had recommended), and they totally dropped the ball. We were seated and no one came around for over 10 minutes even with water. We were hungry and didn't want to be sitting there waiting for God knows how long. I was looking on my phone and discovered Bella Vita up the road. So, we got out of there. We had to park a little further, it happened to be their 4th of July weekend celebration. We just wanted to eat; so we entered the restaurant on a specific side as the other side was part of the charged fair. We were served rapidly water, got menus, decided, and got our food in quick timing. Not only that, the food was excellent, and even my g/f acknowledged she liked better than Vinny's. I got the spaghetti chicken parmesan. It was very hearty, but I was hungry and ate it all. Not like I could do leftovers as we were leaving the next day. I even helped eat a little of hers as well as she was like I can't finish this. It was best spaghetti chicken parmesan I've had in quite a while. It's a somewhat small place, but it was comfortably laid out although a bit on the dark side. Overall, this is an excellent place and will try to return.

    A very strong experience at Fortunato for a celebration dinner. The restaurant accommodated a group…read moreof 7 with a few days notice. The business is located downtown Roanoke. Parking is free off street, or paid at nearby garage. The entry way was clear of debris. Our party was immediately seated and we quickly decided to move table from a smaller private, but loud room to the main room. I found the atmosphere and decor of the room to be nice. The waitress was on top of things with drink orders. They have one of the strongest bourbon selections in town. So I had to get an Old Fashioned. Drinks pushed out within 10 minutes as we finished browsing menus.my Old Fashioned was quality and completely authentic. Super tasty! There were a few orders of pizza and I ordered a house salad with Egg Plant Parmesan. Our waitress kept glasses full of waters. She was upbeat and energetic. Food pushed out for the entire table around the same time in less than 30 minutes. Everyone was pleased with their entrees. The Egg Plant is a vegetarian dish. I'm not a vegetarian, but appreciate the dish. It was huge and so good! When time for desert multiple items were ordered. The waitress prepared a special dish of ice-cream with candle for my son. That was totally not expected and very thoughtful of the staff. I had the Salame chocolate and others had tiramisu. Both excellent, I tried. The bill was dropped in a timely manner. The amount was family affordable in my opinion. I would absolutely return and recommend.

    Always a favorite and this trip did not disappoint. We weren't sure what time we would finish up…read moreour work on this particular Thursday evening so I waited to check for a table last minute. Thankfully we were able to get it with just a 30 minute wait or so. I had dreamed of arancini all day long only to find it was not on the menu any longer unfortunately! Heartbroken. All of our dishes were still delicious of course but please bring back the arancini! Service was impeccable, lighting and cocktails on point, still on my short list of all-time faves! Can't wait for our next visit!
