    The food was amazing. The ambience is absolutely beautiful. It's a lakeside restaurant in the back. The service is absolutely fabulous. Restaurant is beautiful. It's clean the service a professional.

    Old coffee cup, and some debris in the water in the background what's in the cooler? it just cheapens the experience unnecessarily.

    Quaint, cozy atmosphere. Friendly owner & bartender greets u. However, this place hasn't changed much over the decades. They have their local wealthy old timers that are well to do but, don't like to travel far. So, this is their spot. Sat us down in view of the pond out back. I hate to be a PIA but, if that's your main view outside of your restaurant, you really shouldn't store a plastic cooler right outside the window as well as have frozen debris strewn around the edge of the pond. There was also a small tree limb that had cracked and was just dangling there off the tree into the water. Again, you're trying to be a high-end restaurant and are charging as such, you could invest a few minutes to straighten up the view out your main dining area window. Food is ok but, extremely small portions. I had the sea bass over risotto, $50. It was a 3 or 4" square filet. Not a good value at all. My French onion soup was EXACTLY served diner style. Little brown crock and all. Nothing that reflects a higher end restaurant. We were given two small rolls in a bread basket. It just comes off as cheap. We ate the one roll ration apiece while we were waiting for our orders. The bus girl asked us if we would like more? We were grateful that she was paying more attention than our waiter. The waiter was pleasant but, not very attentive. Never looking or asked us if we'd like another drink. It seems that the ocal diehards are enough to keep them afloat (barely). So, they raise the prices, trim the portions back and hire a passable wait staff. Hopefully, someone is gonna do something special with this great location.

    After a long beautiful sunny day at the beach on Fire Island, my friend and I wanted to eat the best cuisine the island has to offer - Italian. We looked at many places but Bella Vie stood out, and I am so happy we went here. From the outside, this is an unassuming place but as soon as you enter the restaurant, the classy bar and water-side seating and outside patio takes your breath away. The restaurant is truly reminiscent of a little oasis. Perfect for a classy dinner with family or friends or a nice date with lovely company. Staff was super kind from the get go. Everyone came and talked to us and we loved our conversations. I started with a glass of cabarnet, my friend ordered the tiramisu martini which was to die for and absolutely delicious. Bread was free flowing - it was hot and fresh and appropriately baked with some garlic butter on top. I've never ate so much bread in one sitting. For appetizers we ordered baked clams and grilled Spanish octopus. The clams came swimming in a bright lemon sauce that accompanied the seafood very well. Clams were fresh against the savory, herby background of Italian breadcrumbs. The octopus was prepared beautifully with just the right amount of crispy char but so tender and soft inside. It was paired with a sprinkle of potatoes, tomatoes and onions and a drizzle of balsamic - a first for me with octopus but the flavors were absolutely on point. Then came our entrees. My friends clam linguine was absolutely delicious - they did not skimp on the meat at all and the sauce was bright and delicious. Linguine was cooked perfectly el dente and the clams were fresh and delicious. I ended up ordering the truffle gnocchi. It was a dream in a plate. Buttery, pillowy gnocchi with generous shavings of parmesan cheese. The sauce with the truffle was to die for and absolutely phenomenal. The bits of caramelized onions were culinary genius - offering a sweet contrast to the savory rich sauce. I really enjoyed this dish and wiped my plate clean. We finished our meal with the classic tiramisu, which cane with a generous serving of whipped cream on top. The tiramisu was light and refreshing, ladyfingers soaked through which I appreciated a lot. The mascarpone was not too sweet and the choc syrup topping adding an extra umph which I loved. We even got to meet the owner Mike who asked us how we liked our food. Overall this was a wonderful experience and I really think this place is a hidden gem worthy of a visit! If you are visiting fire Island and in the area, please go here!!!

    Windcrest Community in BayShore had a ladies lunch (pre-fix menu), 25 ladies attended. The private room accommodated everyone comfortably and Rob (waiter) was efficient and patient with our party of 25. Soup of the day was Split Pea with ham. I opted for the salmon with mixed vegetables and potatoes...yummy, healthy meal. The setting was lovely overlooking the water. Mike was so gracious and escorted anyone who needed help getting to their table. Bella Vie is a lovely restaurant, great pricing with generous portions. A fantastic dining experience!

    I had the pleasure of going to Bella Vie last week on a date and it was wonderful. Unfortunately, we went a little too late to have a view of the lake as it was dark out but the restaurant itself feels very quaint and romantic. The staff were all very nice and made sure we had everything we needed and enjoyed our food which we did. This is a must try on Long Island especially for dates and anniversaries.

    Menu

    Bella Vie, West Bay Shore This is the 4th time we have been here, in the last 9 months, or so ... There was 16 of us, this time You just can't beat the Food, Service, Ambiance and Atmosphere. Michael, the owner, goes out of his way to make you comfortable, and welcome. Richie, the Waiter, and the food runner, never got his name, never stopped trying to make us happy.... It was never obnoxious, or hovering, but they dutifully asked us, numerous times, more black pepper, salad dressing okay? more parmesan cheese? Who needs more water?. Drinks okay ? The owner also stopped by a few times to check, as well... There's not a bad seat in the house, as you look over Lawrence Lake. It is one of the most bucolic views, on Long Island There's a small, intimate bar, where you can also overlook the lake, and relax before, or after dinner Prices at the bar are more than reasonable. I didn't catch what others paid for their drinks, but my Malbec, was $13 They have a few prix fixe options, but we took advantage of the $22 lunch special.... Soup, or salad, and an Entree.. I always go with their Lentil soup, as I think it is one of the best around. Since I've had their excellent hamburger the last 3 times I was there, I figured I'd try something else. I went with the Gnocchi.alla Bava.. which was a creamy Fontina Sauce... I thought about ordering a gallon of the fontina sauce to take home, but I just got a great Lipid test result back on Monday, and the doctor told me to keep up the good work !!! If it stays at 107, I'll consider buying it. But, in any case, it was very good, perfectly cooked, and also served as a good vessel to dip the complimentary table bread in Others opted for the Eggplant, Salmon, Cannelloni, Chicken, and another had the gnocchi, as well. Not one complaint I can't say enough good things about the place We like to try new places, but we do have a few that are in a "rotation", of sorts, and Belle Vie is one of them. We always have good results here, which is why we return.. We've been there with groups of a little over 20, and have never had a problem.. Oh, one more, I guess, a compliment to Bella Vie.. The owner found out of of the participants had a birthday, that day, so he gave every single person at the table, a piece of cake, and the entire staff, sang Happy Birthday along with the table ... It pays to frequent a place Highly recommended for tables of 2-4, or like our Lunch group, tables of 16-22.. He told me he has a room to accommodate larger parties, but I'm not eating lunch with 30-40-50 people lol Bella Vie 240, W Main St Bay Shore

    This is perhaps a preemptive review in some ways. You see Fire Island Vines is planning to play a…read morebig part in our lives in a few months, but more on that in a sec. I'll start off by saying that my wife and I came here on a Friday at the beginning of the summer to actually sit and have dinner, which turned out to be quite a tasty treat. The interior of FIV has a somewhat rustic/beachy vibe that works well for its Bay Shore location and feels at home on Long Island. It's got a nice bar and a decent seating area where we pulled up a table and were helped by the staff who were friendly and attentive. Besides the importance of good feels from the workers, the food and drink is where it might matter most and Fire Island Vines doesn't fall short of doing this. With a somewhat Mediterranean/Greek/Italian direction to their foods you'll find some delicious dips (spicy feta, hummus), savory chicken skewers, and crispy pizzettes which was just about everything we ordered. There's much more than that here and of course plenty of chances to wine while you dine. I instead ventured to the house sangria which was delightful while the wife had a concocted mocktail she really enjoyed. And, therein lies the biggest hint to why FIV will mean a lot more to us in just a few months as my wife and I are expecting our first child and the baby shower is planned for right here within these walls. So far all planning has been fantastic and owner Angelo has been very kind and accommodating. We're looking forward to our full festivities, but for now I'll wrap things up by saying this spot will be holding a special place in our hearts and so I wanted it to be my 1,000th review on Yelp to be even more memorable. With all that in mind (and trying not to get too sentimental on Yelp!), check out Fire Island Vines for some weekend dinner or an event and be ready for some greatness.

The restaurant…read moreusually has some great specials and an impressive, rotating selection of east and west coast oysters. The servers are all well versed in the menu items, including the oyster selection, which is always a plus for me. Each time I've visited I ordered a few different oysters and have never been disappointed. You really cannot go wrong with what you order. The fritto misto appetizer is outstanding, perfect for 2-4 people. Also had to try the oysters Rockefeller which are always delicious. My first visit (NYE '26) they had octopus on their specials menu. I PRAY they bring it back because it was memorable, even 6 months later. My first visit I tried the barramundi which, at the time was a special menu item. It seems they added it to the Mains but with a different preparation. This time I tried the salmon which was excellent. If seafood's not your jam, they have plenty of menu items to choose from. In addition to the food, they also have great cocktails and a stellar looking happy hour menu I can't wait to try. I recommend making reservations, especially if you're visiting on a Friday or Saturday night. Both times I went here the restaurant was packed, particularly the bar area. My only real critique is that the restaurant gets a bit loud, making it a tad difficult to hear but it's also a sign that the place is doing consistently well.

    This place gets crowded. So be warned. I don't know if they have reservations so call and ask…read more They have seating outside. However, the seating in my opinion is on a tight spaced sidewalk where people and cars pass you by. It was crowded and our waiter was fine. The food took way too long to come out. It was like they forgot our order. It was happy hour for clams so that could have played a part. However, others had received their food before us. When the food finally came, the oysters were sad. Such small oysters for a place that's on the coast and bases it menu off the ocean. Our tuna tartar tacos were great. Best I've ever had. The flavor is towards the bottom of the taco so take a big bite to get all that flavor. IMO this is a nice place. I would not make it a go to spot for their oysters. But I would return.

I chose ricotta cavatelli bolognese as my entree.It was rich and meaty and silky - something I'd definitely order again. I also tried my sister's autumn pizette, one of the specials. Thin crisp crust, thinly sliced squas, sausage, cheese and a drizzle of fig glaze. A perfectly composed fall dish. Everyone else enjoyed their meals (spaghetti & meatballs, veal parm, chicken française, and spaghetti with seafood.) We shared two desserts - tiramisu was just as I like it, moist but not wet with all the flavors melding into something greater than their individual parts. The tricolor cake was a slice of rainbow cookie, dense and decadent. Our server Michaela was charming and efficient. The atmosphere was sophisticated yet relaxed. Overall, a five star experience.

When you go to an Italian restaurant you expect great food and great service with an adult and people with experience make your night. Lately this restaurant has had many issues with that now is full of kids and girls trying to do this job like is a game, don't get me wrong I am not against female servers or kids getting new jobs, but for me this is not the place to be if you are going to do the real server/waiter/waitress job. Water not being served, not knowing THEIR OWN MENU, not serving the wine after they sell like its self service. If you sell pour help the costumer serve the wine don't just open serve one time and leave because you will not get a good tip and even ask for a good review like this girl does. You walk by or just sitting down you see people looking for their server to ask for water or pour wine themselves. Now why the 3 stars and not 2 or 1? I still see this kid Jeff and always with a good smile on his face, the last good and old school server I know after the 2 old ones left, this kid and the food is the reason some people do go back. Many will say oh it's just because you like this kid but no. Go yourself ask for him and you will see a difference in the service! Sometimes the menu and specials are repetitive and I I tell him make me something he always surprises me! His way of serving the old school way makes me feel hope for this restaurant. Manager or owner if you see this please save your service, take this review as a kind message to get your level back to where it was. We the neighborhood, the community still want Il Piccolo Villaggio to be top choice for Italian cuisine around here.
