  “Really delightful little Italian restaurant. Pasta, risotto and pizza - homemade the real Italian way. Portions are generous and every bite exquisite. You will not be disappointed. A wonderful night out recommended by my children.”

  “Absolutely loved it here. Gorgeous Italian on the edge of the river in Bristol. We just walked in (we were pretty early for dinner) and were seated in the windows. The set up in there is really gorgeous and the staff were all so so lovely. We had wine and pasta and it was really well priced, tasted incredible and we wished we could have stayed for longer but we had a gig to head to at the O2. Will 100% be coming back to try more and enjoy the atmosphere!”

  “This is a lovely Italian restaurant on the banks of the river Avon. It has a relatively large indoor area with some tables having comfortable bench seating. There is a mixture of plastic and real plants - one of which is an extremely long climbing ivy. There is also a smaller outdoor area. The menu is varied and we found our choices of a starter of Trio di Bruschetta and main meals of Fritto Misto & Linguini Belle Vista very tasty and enjoyable. This was nicely rounded off with Profiteroles Chocolate. 😋 Service, which was provided by Adriana, was lovely and friendly and also relatively quick despite it being very busy. Recommended.”

  “Bella Vista is a charming and cozy restaurant with lovely decor that immediately makes you feel at home. We were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, who provided excellent service throughout our visit. The dishes we ordered were served promptly, which was a nice surprise. The food was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. My fish, while very tasty, had a bit more oil than I would have preferred, but it was still delightful. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would happily return to Bella Vista for another meal!”

  “I spent ages trying to pick somewhere for lunch with my mum, and I’m so glad we went with Bella Vista. The food was incredible! It’s still such a treat to find a place with more than one veggie option, and the tiramisu was the perfect finish to a lovely meal.”

  “I came here for tea and had such a lovely, relaxing experience. The weather was warm enough to sit out on the terrace, which is decorated with pretty fairy lights and offers a lovely view of the river and St Peter’s Church. For my starter, I had the prawns – they were really big, juicy, and clearly very fresh. For my main, I had the lobster ravioli. The pasta was generously filled with lobster, which was a pleasant surprise. I was absolutely stuffed by the end, but everything tasted so good. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I can’t wait to come back again.”
