We almost went to another Italian restaurant last night, but decided to try Bella Vita, since we have driven passed it a few times. They have a live singer doing American classic songs from Beatles Harry Belafonte, Elton John. She was magnificent. She added a very fun and great energy to the room. Our server was super hospitable w the bread and Oil/balsamic and waters. We ordered The Rita w no spice drink along w the cintron vodka, it was called Rosse something. For appetizers we got the calamari and the Blue Diamond salad. I ordered the Soglolia, filet of sole fish w linguine pasta. Hubby had the Tartufata pizza, which was delicious w all that salami and prosciutto. We took home cannoli since it was a very filling meal. Thank you for making our first visit a wonderful one Dani and chefs at Bella Vita and the wonderful talented singer. We can't wait to come back read more

Had dinner with friends last night. Let me say the service and the atmosphere was fantastic. There was entertainment which was a nice touch. Indoor and Patio seating. Now, the food itself was fair. Not great, not horrible. Caesar salad, chicken parm with pasta, spaghetti bolognese, linguine and clams. Dessert was spumoni and cannolis. Nothing was something that you would go back for. And that's that. Just ho hum. If you want to go just do t expect great Italian food. Expect great service and nice ambiance. read more

Stopped into Bella Vita because I heard live music from outside... and honestly, that alone pulled me in. The singer was so talented not background noise, but the kind of live music that actually makes you pause and listen. It set the whole mood for the night. Ordered the seafood pasta and I'm not exaggerating when I say I ate everything. No leftovers, no regrets. The flavors were rich, fresh, and exactly what you want when you're treating yourself to a nice dinner. And our server? Truly made the experience. Attentive, warm, and just the right amount of personality that made the whole dinner feel relaxed and enjoyable instead of rushed. If you're looking for a place with live music, comforting Italian food, and service that makes you want to come back Bella Vita is definitely one to keep on your list. read more

Went in as soon as it was open. Bar was filthy. The bartender kinda cleaned it once we sat. They didn't have a/c the whole thing is windows. I feel AWFUL for the people who work there. We had to leave after one drink unfortunately due to the no air conditioning read more

It was our first time here and we ordered take out for two. I had the chicken marsala with mash. It was ok. It needed more flavor. It was kinda bland. I needed that kick from the sauce, it wasn't there. The customer service was good though. We will try it again. read more

Cynthia, you're the best. came in on a whim after a stressful day of moving and just being wanted a quick snack and a glass of wine..Cynthia was behind the bar, at the tables, and everywhere else in between: serving and bartending. She welcomed me and managed to put a smile on my face just by being her friendly attentive self. Food is good, reasonably priced, and restaurant is classy and inviting. Will be back soon. read more

Amazing food! Great service. The pasta was delicious and the desserts are just phenomenal.

Decided to pop into Bella Vita for happy hour with friends and it ended up being such a great choice. The happy hour menu is wonderful with plenty of fun options to pick from. The inside is upscale yet cozy. We had really great service, and I have to name Cynthia at the bar for being the absolute best. Friendly, attentive, and just made the whole experience better. We tried a few things, and everything hit the spot, but the penne à la vodka was definitely the standout for us. We'll absolutely be back. read more

It's got amazing potential. I wandered in here after seeing the lunch special and happy hour prices. Decided it give it a run. Had a cocktail and calamari while I decided what to take home to eat. Drink was lovely and calamari was good but over cooked. Might of even been precooked? The owner Fabio was sweet and friendly and I was so very excited at the potential ... Ended up ordering, lobster ravioli. Avacado salad, eggplant Parmesan and meatballs. My roomie wasn't a fan of meatballs unfortunately. The best was eggplant Parmesan although the pasta was mooshy so just ate it alone. Lobster ravioli was b+. Happy hour was a great deal. Ordered all the for $60 but I doubt I will be back. Just missed the mark even though value was best part. read more

5/5 ambiance & service - Lovely setting with wonderful live music on Saturday night, which made our unplanned visit extra special. The staff were friendly and prompt throughout. 5/5 pasta - Perfectly cooked with a well-seasoned pesto sauce, easily the best we've had in a while. It reminded us so much of Italy! Great portion and value. 1/5 branzino - Two small, thin fillets for $37. The reheated vegetables were soggy, and the mashed potatoes were forgettable. Portion and value were very disappointing compared to the pasta. We still like Bella Vita enough to come back, but next time we'll stick with pasta. read more

Came here for an early dinner to catch up with friends - I'd never been here before but always pass it driving around the area. Bella Vita is located within the EOS plaza on the corner of Blue Diamond and Decatur, easily visible from the street, with ample shared parking. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is decorated in a clean, modern vibe. The booths we sat in we comfortable but the leather/pleater booth seats were cracked and weathered (and was a bit painful to sit on while wearing shorts). Being here for a very early dinner, there was no wait to be seated and service was quick. Food came out quickly. We shared calamari (fresh, crispy, great marinara), and I got shrimp fettucine alfredo. I must say, this was probably one of the best fettucine alfredo plates I've ever had. The sauce was creamy and thick, and the shrimp was cooked well without being overdone. I think I licked my plate clean. I would definitely come back, for sure for the alfredo sauce but also to try their other menu items. read more

This one hurts....we used to frequent the happy hour here under the old owner....we have not been back for awhile so we figured we would give the new owner a chance to get up and running for awhile before coming back. We were excited when we entered...the place is quite pretty and the happy hour menu prices have not changed. We ordered a few drinks..a wine and hub got a black Sapporo that he had never tried before. Hands down...the bartender was a standout great employee...but it is not his job to take care of anything beyond the bar. We ordered our food, bolognese and vodka penne and meatballs...we noticed that no particular person was our waiter or waitress...it was a hodge podge of who happend to saunter by at the time...it was weird because we did not know who to flag when the food arrived. When the food came out, it was clearly a full portion...we were not only scared of paying full price, but the portion size was way to big and we ended up wasting a lot of food. When a flag down happened, we asked and they said it would be happy hour price, but they were training people cooking and food came out wrong because of this. When I read other reviews, this seems to not be true...so why would you serve this huge portion of food without warning to the customer and lose profit margin in the meantime? My pictures came out a bit weird on this one, because I got so distracted by the portion size, we started eating...there was a couple of bites out of both pastas and three meatballs total. The vodka...very bland..not that good anymore...bolognese was best..I would order again..but not that size...and the meatballs were just not that good. The sauce on them tasted canned or Chef Boyardee like...and I know that is insult...but that is truly what it tasted like. I may never return here for food...so I may stick to the bar for cocktails because like I said, the bartender was killing it up there. I also noticed the bar was full of patrons...so that is pretty telling....... read more

We will 100000% be coming back! The hospitality was above and beyond. We sat at the bar and it was such good vibes. Food and drinks were delicious and great portion size. We ordered off the happy hour menu which has such a good selection of food, drinks and bottle pricing. Can't wait to come when it cools off a bit and sit out on the patio! read more

We decided to eat here last night as it's close by and they say it's under new management. We went in and were greeted and seated right away. 5/5 stars The hostess was very nice and we noticed that there were very few people in the restaurant. We thought maybe because it was early, but during our dinner nobody else came in. The booth seats are in dire need of reupholstering. 2/5 stars We got our drinks from the very sweet server, but she didn't speak or understand English very well. Twice, my wife's simple drink request was incorrect the first time she ordered club soda with lime. What came to the table was a very flat non-carbonated water with lemon and limes. We sent it back and asked for a sparkling water with a lime in it. What we received was a glass of ice with lime juice about 1/3 of the way full and a lime on the rim and the bottle of sparkling water. So, I drank down my water, had her put the ice into my glass and fill the glass with the sparkling water instead of the lime juice concoction. 2/5 stars For an appetizer, my wife ordered the fried calamari. This was bad. The calamari was freezer burnt, dry and hard. We sent it back and didn't get it remade, having them remove it from the bill. 1/5 stars For dinner, we had the Zingara pizza. It was very good! We enjoyed it. 5/5 stars To apologize for the bad calamari, we were brought a free desert 1 the tiramisu. This was pretty good and a nice gesture. 4/5 stars. Overall, I can't in good conscience recommend this place unless you're getting a pizza to go. We will most likely not eat in again there, but may order the pizza for takeout in the future. 3/5 stars overall. read more

We came on a Friday afternoon and it was not busy. A lot of tables avail and also a bar area. Our waiter took our drink and food order quickly and was very attentive. We all really enjoyed our food and would def go back. Food prices were reasonable and portions were a good size. The alfredo sauce was creamy and not runny. Perfect amount of lemon and capers on the fish dish my friend ordered and the salmon was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. We all enjoyed our food. read more

Good food good happy hour. Service was great I had pasta with bolognese it was great .

We went here on a weekday night and we were surprised on how slow it was inside. There was only one other family other than us. The service was great! And the food was delicious. I had the avocado salad to begin with and it was delicious. My husband had the lobster ravioli and we ate it all. I recommend both of them. We will definitely be back. Hopefully they get more service soon so they can stay open. read more

We went around 5pm on a Saturday, we had a reservation so didn't wait at all. The staff was very friendly. A very large group came in, so the service slowed a little, but nothing too bad. The inside is super cute and they had a live band. They also have happy hour from 2pm-6pm with really great deals. We ordered off the happy hour for drinks and food, but with the larger group, I think our server got a little confused because the items that we ordered on the happy hour were charged at full cost, but the drinks were happy hour. Not a huge deal, next time we will just make sure to say happy hour food when we order. Prices are decently priced and the food is amazing! We ordered the blue diamond margarita, espresso martini, and a glass of rose. For food we ordered the caprese salad, penne allá vodka, shrimp scampi, fettuccini bolognese, and chicken Marsala (not on happy hour menu). I will definitely be back! Everything was so good and fresh! Highly recommended, can't wait to try more read more

Bella Vita has reopened under new ownership and it's absolutely amazing!!! The new owner is very passionate about his restaurant and truly dedicated! Wow! What a place. Excellent food !! Excellent service!! Delicious cocktails !!! Bella Vita is truly one of a kind. They prepare everything fresh and you can taste the difference. The pasta is made from scratch, as is the pizza and every dish on the menu with very high quality, fresh ingredients. Everything we ordered was delicious! We absolutely love the menu , simple with popular Italian dishes and the prices are reasonable too! We highly suggest Chicken Marsala, it was made to perfection, not too heavy and chicken was so tender, just delicious. They have also a nice wine list and selection of drinks. We highly recommend them, especially cocktails were amazing. The atmosphere is inviting and staff always friendly and welcoming. Server was well acquainted with dishes and drinks and extremely attentive and friendly. I love how the kitchen is open and you can see the chefs preparing your food. It was very clean and the lighting was perfect! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with modern upscale decor and they have THE BEST outdoor seating area too.

For our mains we ordered the gnocchi bolognese and the chicken parm. We cannot decide which one is better. They have live music on the weekends.

All aces here! I had the Chicken Marsala and my wife had the Sole with a lemon caper sauce off the lunch menu. I have been looking for a chicken Marsala this good for a couple years in the Vegas valley and the search is finally over. My wife finished off the trip with the Panama Cotta that also impressed. Everything here was amazing. I'm surprised this place is not more busy. I will be coming back. read more

This (only) visit did not live up to my expectations. First, because it was SO HOT inside and i had to ask to be moved near a fan, which didn't help. The food was just okay and did not commensurate with their prices. They did give us a complimentary dessert, likely due to how hot it was. The Panna Cotta which was VERY good. read more

We visited around Christmas 2025 as a group of 6 and had a really lovely dinner. The pastas were excellent and cocktails were tasty. We really enjoyed Nelly singing holiday songs and classics. It was a very entertaining evening. Restaurant is roomy and has plenty of parking in their lot. read more

My husband and I came here because we had a giftcard and heard decent things about them. We came in, only ones there at 3:30pm. Bar got us our cocktail and that was probably the best thing about the place. Our food was t horrible but the branzino was definitely burnt. Service was very slow, I sat with an empty cup for 20 minutes at least. When it came to check out, and handed them a giftcard. They said we can't use it because it's from the previous owner, even though the restaurant is the same name. This is total Bullsh!t and I'll be sure not to return for their Mediocre food and service. read more

Having heard glowing recommendations about this restaurant from multiple sources, including online reviews and personal testimonials, I decided to take the plunge and give it a try. I stopped by on a Friday night, expecting to encounter a lively and crowded scene, but was instead surprised by the relatively calm atmosphere, which wasn't that busy. I had dinner with one of my good friends at a restaurant that caught my attention (went after the EOS gym, which is in the same complex) and my first impression was that the atmosphere was nice, with a good location that was convenient for both of us and good service from the staff, which made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Our dining experience began with the Avocado salad, a creative and tasty mix of avocado, greens, tomato, mozzarella cheese and tangy dressing, the Calamari, which was fried to a golden brown and served with a side of marinara sauce, and the Frutti Di Mare, a mouthwatering seafood dish that was loaded with shrimp, scallops, lobster and mussels. As we savored each bite, we knew that we had made an outstanding choice. None of them disappointed, and we were thrilled by the exceptional quality of the food and the attentive service. All three dishes were delicious, and we would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I recommend! read more

Arrived for our reservation and was very excited to try this place but was very disappointed. They sat us down but then told us to move because it was reserved for another couple. The service was not good at all. It took our server 20 minutes to ask what we wanted to drink and by that time I was ready to order. I ordered the grilled salmone but they told me the salmon & ribs were not ready and to take another look at the menu to order something else. We got up and left because of the customer service. It was not very busy when I first arrived. The place was beautiful inside and had a live singer. Wish I would have had a better experience. read more

Service was horrible, we were sat and had to get up and ask to even be given water 25 minutes later. People leaving left and right before eating, people asking to see a manager and the waiters telling them he is "too busy". Definitely do not recommend. Picture is of my table with No food. read more

This is the experience of the new Bella Vita on Blue Diamond under the leadership of their owner and head Chef Slavio from Jalisco, Mexico. Wait I thought Bella Vita was Italian,? Bella Vita means Beautiful life and Chef Slavio has poured his heart and soul into the cuisine. I'm not a Mescal fan but his Blue Diamond mescal drink is amazing!! My daughter had his lavender lemonade - I ordered the gnocchi pesto with shrimp and my daughter went with a chicken on penne Parmesan style! So delicious!!! You know it's crazy good when the leftovers the next day holds the flavors and quality!!! Great ambiance great food we can't wait to come back!!

Food was ok. 2 of the 3 dishes we ordered were not that great. We ordered the fettuccine Alfredo which was good. The one thing I wish they did was NOT dice the chicken but the flavor was good. The penne all vodka and veal parmigiana basically had the same taste there was a slight difference in the sauce. The best thing we had was the appetizer fried calamari. Service I would give a 3 out of 5. It took a while before we got our water and order in. The server was fairly new and you could tell. there was no bus person it was just the server and owner? I wouldn't recommend this place as it was pricey and I didn't feel like the food was worth the price. read more
