Tony's Bella Vista Ristorante

This has to be one of my favorite Italian restaurants. I've been coming here for over 10 years now. You have to try the Meatball alla parmesan appetizer with some of there garlic bread.....sooo good. You can't go wrong with a pizza from this place. They are delicious. You can always go for the baby pizza and spaghetti, if you can't decide pizza or pasta. For the pasta, there spaghetti is really good. I'd recommend getting it with the meat sauce, it's excellent. If your not in the mood for pizza or spaghetti don't worry. They have a lot of over things to choose from on there menu. From fettuccine alfredo to chicken parmesan. Some of my favorites are the tortellini, ravioli, and fettuccine 3P (3P=peas, prosciutto, an parmesan) comes covered in a white cream sauce, it's similar to an alfredo sauce. Out of those 3 I think the tortellini is my favorite. The spaghetti carbonara is also very good. Last but not least the atmosphere. It's cozy and comfortable with a nice Italian touch. Love it. I've included pictures of there pizza (fresh basil & ham), tortellini 3P, and the spaghetti carbonara......delicious :)

Full disclosure, the last time I ate at this place was 34 years ago in 1984. I did remember that they had the best New York style pizza so I was surprised they were even open! Apparently there is new owners but the place hasn't changed inside! It's exactly how I remembered it! Amazing! Now for the not so good, the pizza was mediocre. The crust was decent and the sauce was flat. I ordered (and paid for) extra cheese and maybe they felt the need to remove half the cheese. It was not the pizza of my teens. I know it was stretch to think they may have kept everything the same, it was cool to see the budding was but the pizza definitely wasn't.

All the basic pasta and pizza dishes. Recommend their thin crust pizzas over the others. Serving sizes are very healthy and totally make a meal, darkly lit interior, old school booths and seating. Lots of groups dine here for birthdays and family get togethers. The food is decent, Italian mom kitchen style flavor. Good for a dinner date with the partner. Service can be sketchy, they get easily distracted if it's busy.

My girlfriend and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary today, and I wanted to have a nice dinner with her. I am SO glad I happened to find this place! Not only was the food delicious, but the staff were amazing! A bit pricey, but it's well worth it! Our waitress was very kind and well spoken, the atmosphere is calm and casual, low lit lighting and welcoming decor throughout. A very simple TRUE Italian menu with nothing but the best coming straight from Italy! I had the Lasagna Romano and she had the chicken Alfredo. We have never had food that came out this good at the time of night we went!! Simply amazing! Everything from the salad and dressing to garlic bread and main were truly delicious! You guys made our night really special! Thank you Bella Vista!! I hope we have many more years of seeing you all and trying everything on your menu! Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!!

I have been eating here for over 35 years. The food is always very good. I would have given the restaurant five stars, but yesterday my son and I ate here and our server was terrible. Everything would have been perfect if she did her job properly. They have one of the best pizza and pastas around. This is the first time we had a bad experience with our waitress.
