Bella Vita!
My favourite Italian Restaurant!!!
First time I came here is when I decided I wanted to be a blogger. Amazing foodie discoveries and folk always asking me for recommendations, inspired me. My first meal here was the tipping point. Great food in this little spot. Grab some pasture before you head to London Fields. On our visit it was mussels in a cream and white wine sauce and chunky king prawn in a rich tomato sauce. Both good portions, both tasty, both reasonably priced. A little side salad of rocker and parmesan finished it off nicely.
Delicious antipasto and generous portions of full flavoured pizza and pasta. Authentic Italian dishes and more local favourites too, something for everyone.
Great wine list, all food and drinks are well priced.
It is obvious why it's packed all day on weekends and week nights too!
Wonderfull italian food! I recommend it for the food. Have been here twice and loved the really thin pizzas that they have and mozzarela salad. The second time I had to call for the staff to many times...to bring the menus, to order, to bring the forgotten water...but taking that out of the equation and the really bad red wine the food is great!

Great spot for some italian food
A good variety of delicious pizzas . There's some pastas too .
Modern&Clean Italian design with a lot of space in and some places out
Great to stay for lunch.
notes .
sometimes it takes a while to be served
Reasonably sized quaint restaurant. Decor a little down at heal, but full of character nonetheless. Menu is reasonably priced and the pizza's conform to a hand spun reasonably thin crust style. Offers a takeaway service too.
I've been to this place before but was boring and got a spag bol lol that doesn't mean that it wasn't scrumptious though. This time round I got a parma ham salad (not on the menu) with cheesy garlic bread for starters and just that alone was a roll me over moment. I was glad that we got a break between the starters and the mains. I had a tiger prawn pasta in a tomato sauce...OMG...GUYS!! It was soooo good. The tiger prawns were cooked just right and that sauce was not your average tomato sauce (well not when I cook it) the flavours all complimented each other and the portion was a good size but the meal beat me and I had to take the rest home. Will defo be going back to this place for sure.
Brad and I were left completely stuffed after finishing our pizzas. Ingredients were top notch and the dough was just like you would get in a real pizzeria in Italy.
A casual afternoon bite after roaming the Broadway markets on a Saturday. The place was very busy and buzzing. A spicy Bloody Mary (just how I like it) followed by some delicious pizza, spicy prawns and fried squid just what we needed! Service was quick and friendly and food overall was great!
Casual and busy hangout that looks decidedly unhipster despite its clientele. Classic italian fare, if a tad on the greasy side (but that's the way it should be).
Amazing food as always. Brought my boyfriend here for a dinner date and didn’t disappoint! Lovely, romantic ambience and a pretty table by the window. Basket of bread and calamari for starters, we were already half full! Calamari is cooked so well (not flaky like most places make it) and enough for both of us foodies. I had Carbonara and he had N’ Duja pizza. Portions are made to fill your belly with delicious flavours. He had to finish my pasta! Shared the chocolate lava cake for dessert ! Will be back again and again!
I don’t know the name and who was working but all very polite :)
Lovely atmosphere, amazing services, foods and experience in this restaurant. Highly recommended:)) It is great to take your friends and family to this place, I went with my family and all the staffs were so friendly and caring:) it is so hard to find the restaurants that all my families can satisfy, but they all loved it! All the foods were amazing and flavourful, if you like sea foods, this is the place for you x
So far, I've eaten twice in this restaurant and each time the food (I had the gluten free pizza this time) was great! The service wonderful! The atmosphere a joy! And all at good prices! I look forward to my next visit.
Was taken here for mothering Sunday but my children. The food was lovely especially the mussels. The only gripe is I ordered the salmon which was not cooked properly, I sent it back and received the same plate with the salmon extremely overdone. The staff ensured that I received a fresh salmon meal and Mahbub made sure that I was was happy and as a gesture of goodwill provided us with drinks to compensate for the inconvenience. The service from the staff was amazing, really attentive and friendly. Loving the new decor too. 😍
This apparently the first shop before figo opens up in east London. Definitely a great place to be for some delicious Italian food. The special mushroom tagitalle is just mind blowing. Very friendly staff who attend to us. Much appreciated!
Best calzone ever! Such a great atmosphere, lovely staff and amazing food!!
Ayo was a fantastic host! He was very attentive and helpful. Bella Vita was great, very tasty and such a nice atmosphere. All staff were friendly and calm.
Great italian restaurant in a nice neighborhood, in a busy pedestrian street. The waiters are very friendly and attentive and do have good recommendations for the dishes on the menue. The pasta was very good and perfectly "al dente" cooked. I will be back for more!

Being an Italian is the best way to review this lovely restaurant...so, it's just amazing!!! Don't hesitate to go! It's a friendly and high quality level. Food is very good, staff is kind and professional. Last but not the least...Tony, the owner, is the heart of the place! He knows how to treat his customers, nurturing them from the first sip of wine to the lovely dessert! Keep going like that guys! Well done!!!
Lovely place for lunch.
We had calzone, pizza, pasta and salmon.
All the plates were really good, amazing flavor.
The staff is super friendly
The whole environment is great.
It was a real fortune to have found this restaurant: a cosy and buzzy environment, with a clear authentic real Italian influence ( with the chef Guglielmo and most of their Italian staff ), with very pleasant iconographic references on the walls.
We found that the food Is cooked to perfection, using high quality ingredients. The pizza is also very good. Desserts and ice cream are as good too. I was also very impressed with their Wine cellar with a fine selection of the best Italian wines. Definitely, this place is of a much better value for money than most places that we have been to. What can I say... a place that invites you to go back again when you are out!
We had a great time eating lunch. Good quality food, smooth and friendly service. Ayo was fantastic, very kind and professional. Thank you again!
The food is absolutely delicious and the restaurant vibes are great. Beautiful and traditional Italian restaurant!
Great atmosphere and very lovely and welcoming staff that will take good care of you. The choice of wine is excellent and the food is delicious and prepared with the high quality ingredients.
Portions are well sized for the price and the staff is helpful and great at recommending what to choose if you are undecided and want it all ;) The pastas (we had arrabbiata and tagliatelle) were excellent, the wine we got recommended (merlot) was great with the food and the cannilicchi siciliani for dessert were to die for - you have to try them!!! And all thanks to Cenk who was making sure everything was to the highest standard. If you love Italian food (or food in general!) this is the place to be.
