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.

(Next time, I may opt for the wasabi aioli on the side, though.) Would definitely eat here again!

My g/f recommended Vinny's as being very good. Originally, we were going to go here for an early dinner on Thursday, July 4, but when we were driving from Franklin County, I exclaimed Prime Rib Thursday at Copper Kettle! So, I had her U-turn, and we tried that instead. Please see my 5-star of them from August 2024. We ended up going on Saturday, July 6. We arrived in this cramped front area, and someone sat us at a booth at a reasonable time. We sat in the booth over 10 minutes without anyone coming to even get us water or check on here. We were hungry, and I was already annoyed for this long wait and was looking on Yelp. I asked my g/f about trying Bella Vita, which she agreed and left about 15 minutes after being seated. It was a big disappointment. However, after my 5-star Yelp review of Bella Vita (which I got to reviewing in April 2025), my g/f said Bella Vita is a better Italian than Vinny's, so maybe for the best. Since I didn't actually eat at Vinny's in the end, wasn't actively denied water, or had some other terrible experience, it would be unfair to give than 1-star in this case.

We waited a long time just to order drinks, and our waitress, Maggie, had to come back and ask for our drink order again. Later, I ordered a salad to go, and it came out wrong. I asked Maggie to send it back, but after waiting 25 minutes, nothing happened. I eventually had to ask for a manager. Manager James never came to speak with me. I was told he was "too busy" and that I'd need to wait until he had time, blaming the delay on it being Mother's Day. However, the restaurant did not appear that busy--there were multiple empty tables. After another 10-15 minutes, I still never spoke with James, and only then did I finally receive the corrected salad to go. I spent $200.66 including tip, which is a lot to pay for this level of service. While the food itself was good, it was very overpriced for what you receive, and the lack of attentiveness and accountability from management ruined what should have been a special meal. Unfortunately, I would not return based on this experience.
