Chicken piccata

One of the best meals I've had out in I'd say close to a year! Caesar salad was crisp and fresh and the chicken piccata was lemony and wonderfully zesty! I can't even make it that good! Everything was so good that I got a piece of Tiramisu to go! Service was stellar! I give the place my highest recommendation!

Chicken festival

Great atmosphere, big booths, lots to choose. Was hard to pick so I hope we get a chance to go back. Garlic knots with mozzarella were warm and definitely fresh. I had the chicken festival. It was a creamy delicious sauce with lots of fresh red onion and tomatoes. Service was prompt and friendly. Check came with a QR code to simply scan and pay right from your phone.

Well by far THE BEST Martini, in my goodness, you killed it. Thanks! My server, Christy said they had watermelon flavored vodka & raspberry flavoring. No recipe. And wow awesome!! I ordered my go to grilled chicken salad. It was so good, tender chicken and fresh salad fixings. Always good, always fresh and the Black Olive never disappoints you only regret showing up alone with no dance partner. The weather is perfect for a porch dinner.

Awesome Cheese Tortellini

The shrimp scampi includes mushrooms and tomatoes, which typically isn't included with the shrimp scampi I typically have, but compliments the dish very well.

It was early afternoon and busy, so we sat at the bar to save time. When we looked at the menu, we thought everything looked pricey but figured it would be worth it. We ordered the namesake dishes: the Chicken Bella Vita for me and the Veal Bella Vita for my husband. Wait staff was very nice and indicated it was a good choice. We also ordered a bottle of wine (way overpriced for what it was). The bread and the extra olive oil dip we ordered were delicious, as were the salads.Then we waited. And waited. Over an hour after finishing our salads, the entrees finally arrived. I'm patient with holiday crowds, but no place should take this long. When the food arrived, I was not impressed by the portions for a $25.99 entree, but I hoped the taste would make up for it. It didn't. There was no taste at all! It was supposed to be a champagne sauce, but it tasted like flavorless biscuit gravy with no salt--and no cheese was offered to help it out. My 'Bella Vita' plate had only about 2 bites of chicken, 3 shrimp, and a few pieces of artichoke with some sun-dried tomatoes. I get that poor planning can make a holiday meal prep a challenge, but we paid full price--over $100 for two people before tip. We won't be returning.

She said it wouldn't be a problem and put our name on the waitlist. We headed in to sit at the bar and we were promptly greeted by 2 bartenders. As we waited for the others to arrive, we both got a drink. Within 10 minutes the others showed up and our table was ready. Cam, who was one of the bartenders, waited on us. She was phenomenal. Great service from beginning to end. Daisy set up a spot for us and everything was excellent. The restaurant and bar area were both clean and comfortable and all of us enjoyed our meals and drinks.

I ordered the shrimp scampi. It was very good. My only complaint was a scam. Was they put cold tomatoes in the center. They need a little work on their organization, but I would highly recommend this place and if I live near here, I would eat here frequently. The food is fresh. Everything's wonderful. Abraunya was our waitress and she was very nice

There are shared handicapped spaces along the store front, or lots of regular spaces across two traffic lanes. Walking in, the hostess station is to your left and we were greeted right away. Seating is a mix of booths and tables. It can get crowded if you are in the middle, so select your location accordingly. On this visit we ordered take out. All food was well packaged and made the short trip home easily, although no napkins or utensils were included. The garlic knots were smaller than expected, but there were a lot of them. Garlic flavor was noticeable, but not as strong as I have had at other places. The bread was doughy and pretty filling. The meatball parmesan was decent. The pasta was cooked properly, but the meatballs did not have a lot of flavor. Most distracting was the very sweet marinara sauce. Overall flavor was minimal, but the sweet marinara made it cloying. The accompanying garlic bread slice was good and moist with nice garlic flavor. The Italian nachos were very good. These could easily be a meal by themselves. The chicken was a little dry, but everything else was cooked and assembled properly.

He said they were closing at 4:00 pm which was too quick for us to get there, and upon hearing that he offered to stay open until 5:00 so we could get there. When we arrived at 4:30 they treated us like family from the moment we arrived until we left. They made her last experience there amazing and were sure to make sure she had everything she wanted and needed. To say it was amazing would not do it justice for how special they made us feel here. The food was absolutely amazing, the service was second to none and the attitude and compassion made our hearts so full we were overwhelmed. The owner and his wife deserve to have as much business as they could possibly handle and want, people like them are very hard to find these days but when you do they deserve to be supported. You won't regret your decision to have a meal here on any level, give them a try and experience what it's like to be treated with gratitude and respect from people that have wonderful souls and truly appreciate your business. Thank you from the deepest part of our hearts, we will never forget this act of kindness.

Would I call it New York style ?...ehhhh...meh...probably not. I grew up in Central PA where all the pizza places were owned by NY/NJ transplants. The differences here are typical to what I've found in the South during my 37 years here. The dough doesn't quite have the gluten chew of NY pie and tends to be heavier. You don't get the airy bubbles on the crust end, etc The cheese is different as well and lacks the stretch of NY pie. The other differences are prep/convenience choices ...the Italian sausage here is ground and the onions and green peppers are diced. True NY pie uses sliced Italian sausage (looks just like the pepperoni) and jullienne cut veggies. These may seem like insignificant things but it matters. So...if you like the doughier Mellow Mushroom type pie this will satisfy you. If you're from the northeast and want something to make you feel like you're back home... then not so much. Get the single slice with pepperoni or just plain cheese if your want a foldable slice.
