I would give this place 10 stars if I could. The food was delicious and the staff super attentive. Very reasonable prices on food. Wine was a bit high but was very good and was recommended by staff. Description is fitting “low key”. Clean. Comfortable. Would eat there every time I’m in north end.

On business trip to Boston and thought that the price of food would be very expensive. Surprised how reasonable the price is for this restaurant! Food is quite big portion too. Feels like home cooked meal and food tasted good too. Food arrived quite quickly. May be we came on a busy night but would be nice if the server would smile a bit more.

We were walking the Freedom Trail and decided to stop for lunch in the North end. The food was excellent and wish we didn’t have to leave our leftovers behind. Anthony was very entertaining and made it a great experience.

You must have reservations or you’ll be turned away. I had clam linguine, it was good, needed more garlic. Service was good, allow 1 1/2 hours for dinner. Very small.

Bella Vista was recommended to us in 2013 by someone who had been there & loved it. We took our large family there then and have been back as a couple every trip since then. The food is delicious & the atmosphere is perfect. The chicken parmigiana and lasagna have been our favorites. The bread is sooo good. The service has been consistent from one trip to the next. This is a restaurant I now recommend to anyone who is looking for an excellent dining experience. I’m already looking forward to our next trip.

We love this place. There’s never a wait, the food is great, large portions (we always have leftovers), the staff is very kind and helpful (they even let us sneak in an ice cream cake as a surprise for a friend’s birthday once). I always get the same thing, eggplant parm and it’s wonderful.

Bella Vista is a quaint family Italian restaurant in the North End with good Italian food. Get on Open Table and get a reservation, because it can be hard to just drop in on a weekend evening. The food is authentic, fresh and delicious. Lots of foot traffic going by so it can be great people-watching. The service is quick and the people are nice. We sat near the window in the front and watched the crowds walk by as we ate. Nice atmosphere!

This review is a few years late but I brought my mom here and we had a wonderful time. The food was fantastic, however, I have to say the most memorable part was the service. Thank you to Tony for your recommendations and taking care of us!

I just want to thank “Jason Statham” for restoring my faith in Hanover St dining. After a horrible experience at Nando the night before where we waited 90 minutes past our reservation time, hearing him say to incoming people, “Sorry Folks, we are fully Booked tonight” melted my heart. This was while seated at our cozy corner table where we were seated 3 minutes from our reservation time. He made us feel like family and waxed poetic about Melodramatics. Just amazing!
