Reviews of Bella Vita Cucina (Restaurant)

Helena Cheu

Overpriced. The cheese tastes good but the cooks don't know how to use it. I had to remove the prosciutto off my pizza because it tasted really bad and even then I only ended up eating two slices.

Kyle Napoli

Authentic Italian food; actually tastes like my late Nonna's cooking

Glenn E

I was there with my wife on our first anniversary last night for dinner. The food was fantastic! Genuine Italian food and nice atmosphere! The waiter was great and helpful! Congratulations to Team Italy for winning Euro 2020!

Jodie Fraser

We ordered the gnocchi and tagliatelle for pick up...and they were both perfect! Gnocchi like pillows...SO good! Also ordered creme brulee and the tiramisu for dessert...Excellent! Highly recommend Bella Vita Cucina!:)

Basim Sahaf

One of the best restaurants in the town. Service is just outstanding and the food is also very good. We got there close to their closing time but they went out of their way to make sure that we can order even after their closing time. The cleanliness standards for COVID-19 are great. There's hand sanitizer everywhere and the restaurant patio is very clean and the tables are socially distanced from each other. Would recommend going here if you are in Sudbury.

Never disappointed when I come to this place! Creme brulee is a must!

Morgan Evans

Just WOW! Amazing food, very attentive service staff, was their for Grandmothers 80th birthday and although they were quite busy the attention that they had paid to our group was outstanding! I give four stars only due to my 9 year old daughter (who was the youngest of our party) was one of the last people to be served. Prices were quite reasonable and selection was just large enough to give a wonderful variety yet small enough that deciding what to try wasn’t so difficult. On the whole amazing! Food 10/10, Atmosphere 10/10, Service 9/10, Attentiveness 10/10 100% will return on special occasions or a date night with the wife! 100% recommend this lovely hidden gem to anyone who has yet to go!

Best meal I ever had in my life! Truly amazing

We were visiting Sudbury and went there for dinner a few days ago. It was one of the best Italian places we've gone to. Portions were big, delicious, and the staff was super nice to us too! Definitely will recommend this place.

Donna Shen

Excellent cuisine! Wine was great so my friends tell me. I'm the non-drinker. Great evening. Our waiter was wonderful and entertaining. Don't miss this Italian gem. There is a gluten free pasta option. I opted for the steak special and it was divine!

Manny Salvacion

The best pasta I have in a long time. Try the chicken alfredo or the gnocchi

Jasmine Lin

Ordered bison steak, filet mignon and gnocchi. Tasty meal!

Joanna Komorniczak

Molto bene! Delicious! We came for a sea bass and were not dissapointed. It was the most delicious fish we've had in Canada! The chef is Italian, he knows how to cook! ????

Robin Kirby

Amazing food.. service.. staff...there were 8 of us from out of town & they did not disappoint,!!

Greg McKee

This restaurant is one of the best in Sudbury and this is the second time I visited and I was not disappointed! I had the grilled Seafood plate and it was absolutely delicious... scallops were done perfectly the lobster was delicious and the tuna was cooked to Perfection as well... I was also pleased with the vegetables which were all done perfectly and tasty! I was also pleased with the service has the waiters did their best to make the somewhat picky crowd I was with as happy as possible. I hope to return again soon!

The food is quite good and the service was exquisite. Probably the best calamari that i have ever eaten, served steaming hot, with a little spice and not too chewy. My penne was decent as was my partner's veal. Place has a nice look to it.

John Rumball

My wife and I dined there this evening to celebrate our 26th anniversary. Romina provided excellent service and great conversation about our mutual native land, Italy. The food was simply amazing!! My ravioli calabrese was to die for, and my wife’s gnocchi was equally delicious. To top it all off, the the newly renovated interior completed the relaxing, delightful dining experience. Can’t wait to go back. If you haven’t been there lately, you need to go. You won’t be disappointed.

Jennifer MacKinnon

Wonderful food -- the gnocchi was succulent and flavourful. My husband had the sirloin and it was awesome! Emi was an excellent server, whose suggestions were perfect. Highly recommended!

Steve Meawasige

This place is spotless from top to bottom. The staff are friendly and when i could not get my tv to work they came and fixed it within minutes. 5 minute drive to big box stores and restaurants. I will stay here before the big chain hotels.

Pamela Auge

Was recommended by a friend, so we decided to try it out. Pretty fast service, and good portions. We were both full by the time we were done. Which is nice considering other "similar" places in Sudbury aren't like that. We both enjoyed our dinner, but can't give true opinion of the menu since we've only been here once. What we ordered our first visit, however, was fantastic. Gnocchi with prosciutto in a red wine rosé sauce for myself, and a sea food risotto for my hubby. I was actually quite surprised with how much seafood there was in his risotto. At least a dozen shells around the plate, and plenty of other stuff, shrimp, calamari etc, mixed throughout. One thing to note, a reservation does seem required. They were a little hesitant to seat us at 5:15pm because the table was reserved for 7pm, but the service was fast enough that we had plenty of time. :-)

Celine Bennett

Out of this world food, the best! Also the service was great!)))

Johnny Nesbitt (?99)

The best restaurant in Sudbury!!! The prices are very reasonable. And the portions of your food are amazing you will never leave hungry???? and the staff are always very friendly!

Paul S

The food is outstanding. The only thing I didn't care for is the seating is tight. But they do their best with the space they have.

Alec MacDonald

2018 update: their food has become more consistent and is now an always 5 star experience. Go here. The wait staff here is superb. They're always on point and super friendly. All of the appetizers are great, but I especially love the escargot. The main courses vary in quality sometimes. I've been disappointed in a dish only to come back and get the same dish again and be amazed by it. If they could keep their quality consistent on their entrees, they'd be five stars.

stephanie johnson

Fresh noodles, made on site. This is the real deal. Authentic Itallian food. I love fettichini alfredo and frequent olive garden ect for it. This was the best fettichini alfredo I've ever had. Location is concerning but what can they do? This restaurant belongs in Ottowa or Toronto.

Stephanie Brogan

We found this restaurant via trip advisor while staying overnight in Sudbury. It promised to be a good place. Most comments where favourable. We also experienced outstanding decor, good service and good food. Yet, the presentation of the food was tired and uninspiring but the food delivered good wholesome taste. Really truly too bad when in today’s day in age where photos of ingenious plating is found all over the internet. It is the eye that sees the food before it is being tasted. Just a few extra steps to be outstanding rather than just good.

Maynard James Keenan

excellent food and service, location could be better but still worth the visit

Julie

We had an anniversary party there this weekend and the food and service was excellent as usual. Fillipo was incredibly helpful in helping choose the menu and prepare for our gathering. Thank you to your whole team!

Gabrielle A.

Amazing, friendly and quick service. Food was fresh, delicious and served beautifully. We had the bruschetta and carpaccio for apps, lasagna, chicken and sausage raviolis and seafood pasta for the main course and finally creme brulee tiramisu, espresso and a cafe au lait for desert. Everything was fantastic.

Aislyn Ireton

Properly priced. Impressive wine list. Our server was fantastic!! First time there last night. We went with another couple and shared two apps, tried a bottle of wine, we had our mains and then coffee. The staff were so professional. Highly recommended. Let's keep this local gem thriving!

Aimee Gravelle

Delicious, nice atmosphere and always amazing service!

Anna Potapova

I was blown away by this restaurants food and service! We had pizza, calamari and creme brule. The food was really delicious and well made! Fantastic service, very friendly staff. I would definitely come here again!

Yvan Guenette

Such great vibes, such great food! An experience all together going in for dine-in. I also love to order a couple prosciutto pizza’s to-go. Nothing better then a beautiful dinner at Bella Vita, great wine and awesome service.

Aidan C

The service was fast and friendly. The food and drinks were delicious! I had the sausage and mushroom risotto and it was impeccable

Richard Munn

Social isolation means no going to a restaurant for our anniversary dinner so we ordered curbside pickup from Bella Vita Cucina. Antipasto platter and Penne alla Vodka. Packaged up and ready to go when we arrived, and excellent as always. We've never been disappointed in the food or service

syndie Vaillancourt

Was very good and catered to my food allergy. I appreciate that a lot.

Derek Derochie

Food is amazing! The portions are nice and big as well! Every time I have gone the staff has been so kind to us and ensures our experience is always perfect. It's our favorite spot to eat and well keep going back!

Valliappan Palaniappan

Very delicious and authentic Italian restaurant. Great service and good collection of wine

G Stonge

Food was excellent, as always. Best service in town. All of the staff go that extra way to make a memorable evening.

Don Guillotte

What wonderful service, and the lasagna was absolutely fantastic. It reminded me of Italy's Calabrese regional foods. If you are concerned about the price....the old axiom applies here, you get what you pay for. In this case, top quality service, and top quality food. The ambiance was warm and soothing. It was like coming home.

Michael Wong

Good sized portions and delicious food from a locally owned business. Fresh ingredients that compliment each other Definetly will come back I need to try some more of these fantastic dishes. The food is very flavorful and authentic Italian cooking. The staff were super friendly. I would definitely go to this restaurant again.

Holmes Gibbs

I had the veal and it was delicious! The server was well versed in pairings and the contents of the dishes and visited our table frequently. Although the menu was pricey, the service and food quality was worth every penny, plus more! This is my go-to spot for an authentic Italian dining experience!

Dan Boyd

Great dinner and prices, a little understaffed like the rest of the world so service a little slower than normal but staff did their best and were well tipped

Elizabeth Taneva

So pleasantly surprised by the amazing food and service!! Best pizza we’ve ever had, just perfect. Staff was so kind and courteous. The only reason I’m giving it 5 stars is because I don’t have the option to give it more.

LG Belisle

Had a work Christmas luncheon twice at this restaurant and both times it was highly disappointing. They lost our order, gave us full salads and charged us for full salads when they should have been a side that came with the meal to which they also charged full price but never give you the actual side or a discount for not being given your side. Also, they like sit you so tight together that you have to eat with one arm behind your back. I do not recommend or suggest. I'm not going to give them a third chance.

J Neuts

Delicious food and great atmosphere! I will definitely be going back.

Sheila Marshall

Enjoyed an outstanding Mother's Day meal last night. Everything about it was exceptional and the servings were extremely generous. Can't wait to order again. Thank you!

Billy Malawi

Was alot of excitement going to Bella Vita. I really enjoyed the menu. They are kid friendly, even though ours was a little wild, it was a good first experience. The decor I feel lacked a bit of character and the atmosphere was missing something, there was no energy in the building. Maybe a little more enthusiasm from the staff would help. All in all, decent place, great food.

Dawn Boston

My son suggested we get takeout from here for dinner one night because it was a favourite of his. I was a little reluctant to try them, but finally agreed. Their food is out of this world. I just wish they were on a delivery app.

Ivana Costantino

I’m Italian and I must say that this place is pretty good. Never disappointed with my meal. Calamari are really good, and the prosciutto and arugula pizza is a blessing. Familiar environment. My favourite restaurant in town for sure

Gabriel Woo

Cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Excellent food. Pasta, pizza, appies and mains all very tasty. Good portion sizes too. The pepperoni pizza, seafood risotto, and sea bass dish were especially good.

Tyler Leary

Good sized portions and delicious food from a locally owned business. Fresh ingredients that compliment each other Definetly will come back I need to try some more of these fantastic dishes. The food is very flavorful and authentic Italian cooking. The staff were super friendly. I would definitely go to this restaurant again.

Tessa Marin

Authentic Italian food at a very reasonable price. The staff made this first time experience for us a very enjoyable one. We sampled different dishes and we were all quite pleased with our choices. Some were a tad too salty for us, but that is all in the fresh traditional ingredients used. The ambiance made it even more special.

Jordan Renelli

Amazing food, good drinks, and fantastic atmosphere. Another excellent place to go for Italian quizine in Sudbury! Whether it's a date night, event, or just want to go out with friends, Bella Vita will not disappoint.

Cole Bertolissi

Great atmosphere! Delicious food! Had zuchinni flowers and gnocci, would absolutely recommend both! Excellent service as well!! Reasonably priced. Zero complaints.

Ky Cort

Loved it Great Food and Awesome Service Definitely going there again

Alyssa Miller

The food and service here were beyond fantastic! Atmosphere was relaxing decor was very nice. I cannot express enough how good the food was. Best part was even when they closed there was no rushing us out they waited patiently for us to finish. Very good experience here. Highly recommended

Tyler McNicholl

Every time I've been here I've never been disappointed. Excellent food, great service, and overall an amazing experience. We were definitely there a little past closing tonight but they never tried to rush us or do anything to imply we were inconveniencing them tonight. Easily one of the best restaurants in the city and I've never hesitated to bring out of town company here to impress them!

Karen Punkari

Just picked up a celebratory dinner; salad, ravioli, and salmon and shrimp! Wow wow wow once again an amazing dinner. Bella Vita Cucina you never disappoint thank you!???? Note: ordered, curb pick up and safe Cheers!!! Well done, we can’t wait to visit you in person again.

Sam LaCarte

Excellent atmosphere and good! A small hidden gem, really great appetizers and the homemade ravioli is amazing.

Marc&Tammy

This was our second time here and have to tell you, it doesn't get much better than this in Sudbury! We had the Winterlicious 3 course meal and everything was perfect, a steak as good as I've had anywhere and pumpkin gnocchi so light and pillowy I don't know how it stays on the plate. Great service, music not too loud, a perfect night out with the love of my life... my beautiful wife! Bravo!

Jenny Brosseau

wonderful Italian restaurant, staff is great. If its not on the menu, don't hesitate to ask, they will usually be able to accommodate you. we had 5 kids 12 and under and staff treated them very well.

Had a fantastic dinner at Bella Vita Cucina earlier this week! My guest and I split the Beef Carpaccio and Mussels to start, both were exceptional! Next we had the Gnocchi and Vodka Penne. The Vodka Penne was incredible, I could eat that 7 days a week. My guest thoroughly enjoyed the gnocchi, I prefer a slightly firmer gnocchi, but the flavour was excellent. My guest had a steak cooked to perfection and I had the grilled seafood platter as my main. I prefer scallops pan fried, but as I moved onto the shrimp, salmon, and lobster tail it was clear each component was executed perfectly. The only thing we wish was different on the mains was the veggies. Lastly I indulged in their creme brûlée! It's nice to see vanilla beans in the bottom of the dish! Overall an exceptional meal with exceptional service. Their team works together like a finely tuned machine. The service provided is "proper," I truly wish more places operated this way. Looking forward to my next visit already!

Alisha Martin

Bella Vita never disappoints! Food is always hot and delish. Thanks Bella Vita for taking care of our dinner so we could just chill and chat????

Jordan Chartier

My wife and I tried bella vita today for the first time and it did not disappoint. This is by far one of sudburys best hidden gems. The food is spectacular and service was also fantastic. We highly recommend trying this restaurant. Good prices for fine dining as well.

Mike Harris

Made a reservation to have a birthday dinner for four. Had the gnocci. It was excellent, as were the appetizers. Everyone in the group enjoyed their food. I would have given 5 stars if not for the service, which while not terrible, was lacking. Drink orders forgotten or delayed. Some asked if they want more drinks, others not asked. If there are only 4 tables with customers in the whole place, the service should be excellent. Lastly, if we're spending this kind of money at your restaurant, you can at least have the courtesy to wait until customers have left before packing up the patio and stacking the chairs.

Luci Wurdeman

Try the seafood risotto. It's full of expertly cooked succulent shellfish and crustaceans. The staff is attentive but leaves you alone to enjoy your meal ... just like in Italy.

Ali Greco

The most outstanding experience in Sudbury! The food and service was 12/10! The gnocchi was especially incredible!! Not to mention the homemade creme brûlée! Don’t walk…. Run! So worth it 1000%! Thanks for an awesome experience. We will be back!

Joshua K

Wow. Just WOW! Try the ravioli, gnocchi, & Michael Angelo pizza. Would drive from Toronto to Sudbury just to come here.

pat douglas

Great dinning experience with friendly and accomodating staff. Food was top notch with a good variety to choose from. Don't let the neighborhood fool you. This is one of the best restaurants in town. Just lock your doors if you are parking here. I'll be back for sure.

Jo-Anne Fiacconi

I had the mushroom ravioli & it was to die for, my husband had the beef tenderloin special, cooked to perfection and ate it all. Thank You so much for the beautiful tasty Valentines meal...Only thing missing was your delicious banana cheesecake ❤️

Andrea Pen

The food is amazing and the staff are very friendly.

Carol Berry

We went for lunch and it was almost sold out on a Tuesday. The mussels appetizer was really good. I only saw one server so the service could have been faster. We had the special of penne with beef. It was slightly hot and could have been served hotter. Other than that the meal was excellent.

Solomon Lee

Great food and even better service would love to visit again

Lyle Mccord

We had a table of five on a Saturday night. We made a reservation because we had a function to attend later in the evening. The service was excellent with attentive and knowledgable staff. I had the veal and it was delicious! The server was well versed in pairings and the contents of the dishes and visited our table frequently. thanks

Lynn Iturregui

Amazing food and great atmosphere. A truly excellent place to dine.

Karin Todd

This is one of my favourite restaurants. The food is superb and top quality . You couldn't ask for nicer staff and great service. Highly recommend it and you will not be disappointed.
