First time there for breakfast. The atmosphere is amazing and staff very friendly. We ordered the Eggs Benedict which arrived lukewarm and were very disappointing. The Blueberry Pancakes were amazing however! We will definitely go back for drinks but not breakfast.

Both I and my dinner partner have been to La Bella Vita several times. This poor quality of the food was a surprise to both of us. The chicken Parm used to be thin, pounded, breaded, fried cooked more in a a delicious red sauce, and topped with a quality cheese. This week’s presentation was a tough thick hunk of breast meet, coated and fried… Placed in serving fish, covered with a tablespoon of red sauce and then topped with some tasteless cheese. It wasn’t bad. It was disgusting. New chef???

An absolutely delightful dining experience. Classy, clean, delicious, and worth every cent. Mushroom risotto app was otherworldly. Sicilian sea food dish was bright and vibriant and so good. Loved the apps, the mains, and oh save room for the desserts! The blueberry pie, you may die!! Great service to boot! Felt like the staff was present without being overbearing and happy to serve us! Amazing all around! Wish it was open tonight!

Kind waiter, nice view and decent food. I got the fillet and sadly it wasn’t cooked the way I asked. But it was still good.. definitely a pricy menu but seems overall quality and a fancy environment

Our server Kenny was excellent. Even if the food had been less than excellent we would come back for the service. We had the fish sandwiches. The fish was cooked perfectly, the fries were hot and tasty too.

Our experience here was quite excellent. We enjoyed great food, drink, and very friendly service in this atmospheric Italian restaurant conveniently located at Samoset Resort in Rockport where we stayed for most of the week. Very much recommended.

Kind staff and pleasant staff. Unimaginably bad food made unforgivable based on the high prices and that it’s inside a nice resort. My meal was possibly the worst thing I’ve eaten in a restaurant.

We loved our visit here. The service is outstanding! We had Samantha and Michelle as our waitresses for two mornings and they were very helpful, sweet, and attentive. And the food is very tasty! What a wonderful visit and refreshing place for breakfast in the area. Take a deep breath and relax. You will enjoy your time here!
