This is a nice place with a great atmosphere, great service and great prices. Extra-special pasta dishes are yummy and give some education to people unfamiliar with Italy. Great wine list. The convenient location is close and central.
Nice Italian restaurant at the city centre serving tasty Peroni beer on tap. Veg chilli Pizza and Risotto bruschetta was yummy. Good service
Could not fault the food or the service we received. It was an absolute amazing experience and I would highly recommend going again if I'm back in New Plymouth.
I ate here on a Thursady night, I was in early so the restaurant was quiet when I arrived, it filled up quite quickly thereafter. I opted for the lasagne "special" which was accompanied by roast potatoes and beautifully glazed vegetables. An ample proportion of food at very reasonable cost, good wine and great service.
YUM. We have been several times with big groups for a birthday, to couples walking in after a few drinks in town.Fresh tastes are their standout. My favourite is the Seafood Marinara with it's twist of citrus - YUM. A mix of staff, some are very high end, one or two need a little more polishing. Highly recommend eating here
Myself and friends have eaten at Bella Vita Restaurant several times for night meals and also for lunch. The food has always been outstanding and the table service, of a high standard. I would certainly recommend this restaurant to everyone (as indeed I have been over the past few years). I would advise booking ahead as this restaurant is mostly fully booked. My last meal there a fortnight ago, I took a friend who dines out extensively here in New Zealand and overseas including fine dining in Europe and she was very impressed with the both the food choices on the menu and the delicious food.
We have been going here for four years now and have never been disappointed with the food. On Friday we were seated quickly although the restaurant was busy, and our drinks arrived in good time. My vodka chicken was superb and my partner was very complimentary about the seafood linguine. The only problem with that was the mussels which you have to eat with your fingers - no finger bowl was provided.
My only real gripe is that the menu has so many grammatical and spelling errors - the dessert menu was particularly bad. For me, this kind of sloppiness is not acceptable.
We were visiting New Plymouth over the weekend and being unfamiliar with the local eateries, we blindly chose to eat at Bella Vita. What a great choice! The menu is extensive without being overwhelming. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding and the pricing is reasonable. Great evening spent there! Would highly recommend.
Bella Vita serve a wonderful lunch menu at at unbelievable price. Service was excellent, the ambiance was fine and more importantly the taste was outstanding. We are well served for dining in the 'naki now and Bella Vita stands out.
This restaurant is great.
Amazing selection of meals to choose from, not just pasta. If you are also a dessert fan then you will enjoy.
The meals were absolutely delicious , they were enjoyed by everyone and we all said that we would most definitely go back which we have for lunches as well.
The Service was very friendly and prompt.
It has a lovely little bar that you can sit at and chat to the friendly barman.
The only thing I would say is that it would have just topped it off if we had a fire going just to add a bit of a romantic warmth
went out for dinner with my best friend here last night. our server was absolutely amazing, really friendly.
the food was great, came out quick. the carbonara is fantastic, creamy and super yummy. and my vodka del pollo risotto was super flavoursome, not what I expected at all. our mocktails were also really nice, not too sweet. berry breeze and raspberry mojito.
a bit pricey, but for a really nice time out and lovely experience all around, well worth it. really enjoyed my time on my little date ☺️
Such a beautiful energy I felt as if I was in a different country. Italian vibes were present with the music in the background too. The seating arrangement seems a tad close buuuut it was okay where we were seated. The food was absolutely filling and delicious. Even had something to occupy my 8 year old which was good. We ended with a delicious desert. I very much recommend Bella Vista to everyone.
excellent all round. pizza and pasta was great, but the mussels entree were the highlight!
the service was excellent, young lady named Helsa I think? she was friendly, welcoming and warm. Very happy with our dining experience here. Highlight of our holiday in New Plymouth. Thank you!
We came for pizza, but I changed to the prawn main. It was delicious. Kids had pizza which were nice too. Very prompt and friendly service.
The only downside was a new person was being trained and the way they were spoken to wasn't ideal; sounded like the person was frustrated with them and talked down on them (which they are entitled to be, but not in front of customers).
Went out today for a birthday lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Our friendly waitress Chrissy was amazing providing a relaxed & efficient dining experience, awesome service & delicious food to match. Throughly recommend lunch here. And thank you for my surprise dessert it made my day!
The restaurant is the middle of the hight street. Parking could be challenging so be prepared. We went around the lunch time on the long weekend and they still had lunch specials 👌. We ordered Rissotto, Carbonara and Pizza bread with cheese as starters. Risotto was the best dish of all. Flavourful and just the right quantity. Staff was nice and friendly. Overall a good restaurant to be when in town 😃
The host was very good, service was fast.. two gluten free meals and non gluten free meals were awesome too.. Cocktails weren't bad either
This is a nice place with a great atmosphere, great service and great prices. Extra-special pasta dishes are yummy and give some education to people unfamiliar with Italy. Great wine list. The convenient location is close and central. We enjoyed our experience and expect to return.
We had a great function at Bella Vita.
The food was great and the staff were lovely.
Friendly staff and very good service. My three friends and I enjoyed our meals.
