Bella Vita dining room

Est. 1998 · Neighbourhood Trattoria

Welcome to Bella Vita

Wood-fired dishes, pasta rolled by hand each morning, and a wine list that loves the long table. Come hungry, leave family.

The Bella Vita way

Simple food, done properly.

Warm hospitality, a kitchen that cooks with the seasons, and a table set for lingering. Whether it's a quick lunch, a long dinner or a glass of something good, Bella Vita is your shortcut to eating well.

Our Story

Three generations, one kitchen.

Bella Vita began as a Sunday lunch that never quite ended. What started around Nonna's table is now a small trattoria on the corner — the same recipes, the same welcome, a few more chairs.

A few things we're known for.

The board changes with the season, but these have earned their place.

Wood-fired pizza

From the Wood Oven

Blistered, smoky, ten minutes from dough to table.

Our oven runs all day — Margherita, Diavola and a rotating special built on whatever looked best at the market.

Fresh pasta

Pasta, Made This Morning

Rolled, cut and shaped by hand every day.

Tagliatelle ragù, cacio e pepe, gnocchi sorrentina — if it's on the board, it was made today.

Antipasti sharing plates

Antipasti to Share

The best way to start — for the whole table.

Burrata and peach, bruschetta, cured meats and olives. Order a few, pour the wine, settle in.

Wine by candlelight

Wine & Dolci

A small, hand-picked list and a sweet finish.

Growers we love by the glass or bottle, and a tiramisù worth leaving room for.

A long lunch at Bella Vita

What's On

Pasta Nights & long lunches.

On the last Thursday of every month we clear the big table for a hands-on Pasta Making Night — roll your own, eat it with wine, take the recipe home.

Sunday is for the Long Lunch: one seating, many courses, no rush. Bring the whole family and stay a while.
