About Bella Vita Ristorante
Bella Vita Ristorante is an Italian restaurant on The Old High Street in Folkestone, set in a brick-walled, wood-floored room with an open kitchen at the back. The menu centres on pizza and pasta, including calzone and a tiramisu to finish, with Italian seafood dishes on the side. A separate gluten-free and vegan menu runs alongside the main kitchen, and pizzas are also available for collection. The bar runs an off-menu Amaretto Sour alongside mojitos and the cocktail list. The room seats around 70 across two floors, with a side courtyard for warmer evenings. Walk-ins are welcome throughout service.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the atmosphere, describing a lovely, relaxing setting with beautiful decor that suits a date night or a quiet dinner. The food comes close behind. One reviewer calls the calzone delicious, another says the pizza is the best they have eaten in the UK, and others praise the taste and the reasonable portions. The tiramisu earns its own mention, and drinks praise centers on a mojito and an Amaretto Sour. Service is described as very quick, and staff are called lovely, attentive and accommodating. Several reviewers say they plan to come back, and one calls it a great Italian experience. No recurring complaints appear in the reviews. One couple who had not booked were still given a table, and a bartender made an off-menu Amaretto Sour for a diner's wife.
