I would certainly recommend La Bella Vita to everyone especially coeliacs , there is a whole host of meals to choose from & the staff are excellent also liasing with the chef to Meet our requirements! Pizza was a no no but hey I’m not complaining , my starter & main was delicious & I had the hot chocolate fudge cake yum yum instead of the customary melon. 10/10 from me. Oh not to forget I wasn’t charged extra for gluten free win win well impressed thank you .
Came with 9 friends on a Friday night the place was packed. The staff were amazing, friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. All the food was fabulous. I had Caprino e Miele - baked goats cheese to start, delicious. My main course was Filetto di Manzo Rossini - Fillet steak with pate and mushrooms, my steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and then I had an ice cream sundae for dessert. We all had a great time and I will definately be back with family.
My favourite Italian restaurant ever, been for our anniversary tonight, (my husband isn’t a fan he loves indian) best food ever,best service ever, can recommend it to every one and if you don’t enjoy you have sommat wrong with you
Just been today with the kids for tea. Loved the food and the staff were great. Thank you!
Went with a group of 8 friends a couple of weeks ago and again the staff and food was excellent.
Great food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. I would never usually order steak in an Italian restaurant but I had terrible food envy when I visited be cause the steaks look really good. Pizzas were great and the kids loved their meals. My tiramasu was good but the apple tart/pie was even better. Highly recommended.
Absolutely gorgeous food, especially the steak medallions, delicious- the nicest meal I have had in a long time!! and the service is fantastic! Definitely recommend xx
Visited as a party of 6 tonight and can definitely recommend. The food was beautiful, the surroundings lovely and the staff really nice. Will be back.
Fantastic food, brilliant service. 15 in our party and everyone enjoyed their meal. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a good night out.....
I cannot get over the food!! It was insane!!! Yeah it took a while to get our starters but whatever! It was good chatting time with our party of 4 and we had some wine and relaxed and it was a great atmosphere! Prices are SO reasonable as well I’ve already recommended to my friends! See ya soon Bella!!
First visit to restaurant and I was very impressed . The staff were friendly and the food was delicious �

We truly enjoyed our Thursday dinner at this very presentable restaurant! They accepted us as a walk in even though the restaurant was at a 70% capacity (on a Thursday night haha).
At the table there was italian olives and marinated oil with bread sticks, all were delicious.
For starters we had the sea food salad (very good portion for the price and all sea food options were delicious) and the soup of the day which was vegetable soup (fantastic flavor) which came with a couple of mini loaf breads.
For mains we had the sea bass (it was literally melting in your mouth) and the halibut fish steak which oh my god was the best fish i've ever had. nice lemony-buttery flavor with delicious asparagus on the side and loads of sauce to dip your bread or chips in. Luscious!
For dessert we had a tiramisu (very good and loved the glass as a presentation) and a cheesecake (not strawberry cheesecake, baked cheesecake!)
Friendly staff without being annoying like other posh restaurants that waiters are creeping behind you.
One more thing that we really appreciated about this restaurant is that tips were not included, not because we are cheap but, we always preffer to leave as a tip whatever amount of money we want rather than other restaurants that force you a 10-20% which is absurd.
Beautiful place, excellent food, great dining experience with family living nearby. Fantastic service and staff.
This Italian restaurant offers you good quality food cooked to an excellent standard. We were a party of 11 but we did not have to wait an unreasonably long time before our food appeared. If you have a very hearty appetite you might be disappointed in the portion sizes. However, the quality is excellent so if you are worried then just order a side. I'm sure the portions would satisfy most people.
Great restaurant on Garforth main street. Wide range of food available as you would expect for any decent Italian.
All good was nicely made and is clearly fresh, the only criticism I would make is that some of the portions feel a tiny bit skimpy in parts especially the sides but not a deal breaker.
I ordered a side of roast potatoes to accompany a steak and there was about 7-8 small slithers of roast potatoes (not full roast potatoes) however they were beautifully cooked.
Same with the rib starters you get 4 ribs which are delicious but you just need one or two extra to feel like they have truly hit.
That said, it's definitely up there with the likes of Franco's, San Carlos and Salvo's
We went for an evening meal for our friend's birthday. There is an extensive menu with all the Italian favourites you would expect to find. My seafood starter was delicious, however my main course, although tasty, was slightly disappointing as it was just lukewarm, not as hot as I would have liked. The atmosphere was cheerful as there were several birthday tables and everyone was having a good time. We will be going back to try again, thanks
Great menu choice, fantastic quality food, Welcoming and friendly professional staff. Highly recommended.

Well what can I say here to my equally long standing well established neighbours ....🙃
Always made very welcome and always very well looked after and I don't think I've ever been kept waiting too long....but everything cooked freshly so I would never really care ...I am used to Italian restaurants as I used to wait 4 days at the Flying Pizza ha! 🤭...it was all part of it ...plus I have no room to talk ...at all !!! HA ! 🤭
.....although what is all this rushing all about anyway ...especially when enjoying a lovely evening in a good restaurant with good friends .
This restaurant is exceptionally good value ...for both food and drinks....well I think so anyway .
Antonio and Co are very good chefs !
I think the most difficult thing and that does take time is actually choosing what to eat as you want it all ....everything on the menu...that's every starter....every main and definitely every dessert...
.....hey !! ..imagine ordering every single dish ....HA ! 🤣
All the sauces are so delicious whatever you choose and don't be fearful of asking for half a dozen bread rolls to mop it up with either as that's the norm and a great compliment .
All the staff are exceptionally efficient ..!
From my experience of all my visits I honestly can't fault this restaurant at all in anything at all.
It's exceptionally good value and exceptionally good quality delicious food with exceptionally good service in an exceptionally beautifully furnished and decorated restaurant .....What more could one want on their doorstep !
Thankyou Nice Neighbours

Recommended by a friend, we came here for the first time.
Parking is very easy. There is a car park next to the restaurant and there are plenty of spaces.
The restaurant was lovely decorated and felt posh.
We were actually very impressed with the menu - plenty of choices to choose from!
The seafood grill was nicely presented and in good portion. However I did feel that the king prawns were a bit overcooked and tough otherwise a gorgerous dish.
There were only two staff and restaurant was quite busy. The service was a bit slow especially we had kids with us.
Another suggestion - some kids' acitivity pack/crayons would be good to keep kids occupied when waiting for food.
We would be back again and we hope our next visit will be perfect!
Outstanding Restaurant, wine was poured out throughout our meal and asked if I wanted to taste before drinking. Olives and brand sticks on the table. Food served quickly and hot. Hot finger bowl for when I ordered ribs as a starter. I have 1.2m views and lost count of 1000s of meals, this has to be the best place I've been too even including famous Restaurants. The food tasted great too. Well done to all. I had a three course meal and a house bottle of wine.
Lovely food options including a small vegan set menu with options of a starter and a main for £18. Vegan friendly.
Food and wine excellent. Service was a little on the slow side. Be prepared to be patient. The food is worth it !. Will be back.. we have returned. Food still really good. Great value for money. Service much improved. We will be back.
This place is so heavenly! Quality of food is just like being in Italy, if not better ☺ The dough is so soft and freshly made; partner loved the tomahawk steak as it was cooked to perfection and tender! My mixed seafood dish was worth every single penny, the best I've had in my entire life! So I'd like to send big compliments to the chef, it was all mouth-watering, juicy and well executed.🤩 The attention to detail was impressive too in all aspects, from food to furniture to service! Restaurant atmosphere was very modern roaring 20s with a luxe feel, and what can be better than a classic gatsby feel!? 😍 Drinks are well chilled, refreshing and served promptly! To top it off, the service was absolutely impeccable and exemplary! Staff very friendly which I love! Can't wait to see them grow and expand, definitely worth a visit and we'll definitely be returning in the future. 😌
Great place and a great service. Always enioy Sunday lunch there and the set menu is a great value for the price!
The only thing I want to mention is that the music tends to be quite loud. If you want to have a small conversation over the table, sometimes you really need to shout. A bit distruptive for elderly customers especially.
Stil highly reccomend the place!
Beautiful Italians food. Freshly made great menu options. Well trained and courteous staff. The food was sublime would definitely recommend a nice family dinner or dinner for two. I gotta say the vegetable soup I had was divine.
We were a walk in and managed to get a table straight away, really good food, amazing service and would highly recommend. Will definitely be returning, a very enjoyable experience.
The most beautiful restaurant with the most friendliest staff 🫶🏻
The food was so so so well priced for what it was, freshly made and so tasty.
Me and my partner cannot wait to return🤍
Our party of 12 (eight adults, four kids) enjoyed the food and the ambiance but felt they were taking the mickey by applying a non mandatory "service charge" of over £40 to the bill. We halved it as we would have tipped £20 anyway but it struck us as a bit of sharp practice.
