Really lovely Caesar salad and carbonara. Tiny wee hidden spot that you’d nearly miss but we had an absolutely super meal. You can bring your own drink too. Very quaint place. Staff were the friendliest I’ve met. Will definitely be back. Love the decor. Highly recommended.
Small restaurant with lovely decor and great atmosphere.
Nice food. Mostly Italian dishes, but on weekends, after the restaurant closes at 10pm, they also serve freshly made chicken and chips for a takeaway, until 2am.
Lovely food prepared by wonderful people.
Also, a huge plus for this place is a "Bring Your Own Booze" restaurant, which can save you some serious money, when you consider the prices of drinks these days 😉
Amazing service, delicious and authentic Italian cuisine.
Absolutely great food experience here, top notch all round. Fresh ingredients and flavours. Real family run feel about the place and staff were fantastic, quite surprised for being in Belfast. Really enjoyed this place found it by pure accident and glad we did. Highly recommend it. We will be returning. Thank you Bella Vita for the meal.

![5]( "Recensione")
My partner and I, dined here for our first meal together 7 years ago, when it was known as "Opera". It was cosy, romantic, the food was beautiful and the staff were friendly.
While in Belfast last night, we didnt know where to eat, until we came across "Bella Vita".
When we realised this was where we had our first meal, we decided to try it again and we cannot put a finger on one bad point.
When we arrived, we had our 2 daughters, a 6 year old, who had something to eat prior to arriving and only wanted a dessert, and our 3 month old, who was in her pram.
The staff couldn't have been more helpful, re-arranging all their tables to accommodate for the pram. They were very friendly, with good conversation, and there was a real family feeling about the place. Nothing was too much for them!
We ordered 2 pizzas, which were amazing, with lots of garlic mayo,and a dessert for our daughter, which she love!
In 7 years, all we can say, is this place has become even more outstanding. With amazing food, a cosy, family atmosphere, wonderful staff and a funny man (statue) in the toilet.
We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this place to anyone.
Amazing work guys, keep it up!!!
My husband and I popped in last night and were treated to, not only delicious food, but a great atmosphere and banter also. The chef had us in stitches and served us a truly delicious goat’s cheese salad and pizza. It’s a pity that one cannot buy wine to enjoy with dinner, but there’s no issue with BYO, so that’s okay.
We’ll be back again, especially if the same chef and waitress are on duty. Take a bow, girls! You’re amazing!
Well, to my very personal opinion the very best small, casual Italian (the owner proudly says “Irish-Italian”) restaurant in the whole of Northern Ireland.
When I ask my team “do you want fancy or good?” they always pick Bella Vita!
Enjoy!! 😋😋
PS: Definitely the best Bolognese pasta in NI !!

Real good food, lovely staff.
Incredible Pizza! Delicious stone-baked pizza, so flavourful & fresh. Service is genuinely friendly & efficient. Signature pizza menu is superb.
Belissimo 👏👏
Bring your own, fab food, great service. Small restaurant - small but perfectly formed lol
Really lovely staff and great food cooked fresh in front of us. Highly recommended !
one of the best restaurants in Belfast, food is amazing. I don't eat pork, and when they knew that, they didn't charge me for the order. Thanks for all staff here, they are amazing. Definitely I will be coming back
