Always enjoy visiting! The food and service are consistently great. We were there for a party last night, there were multiple parties and the front of house and kitchen did not miss a beat. Romina was fabulous as always. Thank you for this gem in Sudbury!

This was a first time visit on recommendation from friends. I must say it was fantastic. My wife had the ravioli and I had the farmers risotto. The staff were very friendly and helpful with our choices. We will certainly be back next time we are in Sudbury.

I came here with my wife during our honeymoon. The food was amazing, and the servers were kind and helpful. The atmosphere was fancy but cozy. This is hands down the best Italian food I've ever had. All the pasta was fresh and obviously made in-house. I would strongly recommend this restaurant. I would come back to Sudbury just to visit this restaurant again.

Went tonight to celebrate our anniversary. Bella Vita did not disappoint! Our server Roberto was prompt, attentive and extremely pleasant. Our drinks and food all arrived quickly. The food - what can I say? True fresh Italian fare. Everything tasted superb. We had the bruschetta appetizer, which was top notch. The thin crustini complemented the basil flavouring, and the sliced tomatoes made it much easier to eat as opposed to the usual chopped mess that falls off repeatedly. I had the chicken valdostana, and substituted the risotto. The white cream sauce on the chicken was incredibly flavourful, and the risotto was the best I’ve ever had. I would’ve brought home double if I could’ve! My wife had the chicken fettuccine. The pasta was light and fresh, while the vegetables tasted like they came straight out of the garden. Overall, an amazing experience. We would highly recommend, and will be returning in the future.

The foods were great. We ordered carpaccio, michelangelo for appetizers, main: bowtie scallops with crab, seafood risotto, veal scaloppini, drinks we got peach bellini & Virgin Daiquiri. Desert were to die for creme brulee & tiramisu. Everything is excellent: foods, staffs, not crowded (limited). Irma explained the foods, all homemade. We will definitely visit the place if we are in Sudbury.

Extremely disappointed - $54 for a meal that consisted of a small salad and 15 ravioli that were cold and didn t taste like much.

The food was excellent and the staff were pleasant. Regrettably, the people of Sudbury seem to be of the opinion that their conversation needs to be heard by others, so the noise was a total nuisance. Perhaps a different table location would have improved on what was a fairly decent outing. We will, however, return for future dining out dates.

First time at this restaurant and our last. Service was slow, half full dinner 530ish. Drinks came out for 2 people at the table, mine came much later. Menu was mediocre at best. I ordered lamb which came cooked perfectly, but served with soggy vegetables. Lamb with no sauce?? Pizza was terrible for second guest, as they served it whole slices of salami. Simply chopping the salami would have made this a easier to eat, all of the toppings came sliding off with each huge salami. Third guest stated pasta was top notch. The highlight of the meal was watching one of my guests struggle with a mouth full of chunky wine. Not just sediment at the bottom of the glass. Wine that has been opened and left. Disgusting. The server stated this was normal for this wine . If this is the case then you should be decanting and straining the wine. Nope, wont return. Highly disappointed. No apology or effort to learn with concerns pointed out.

Had my wedding reception dinner at the restaurant, amazing staff, delicious food, loved the family style and they were very accommodating to allergies/dietary preferences (vegan). Highly recommend for any event. Reasonable price and you can take home the leftovers so no food goes to waste. Dietary restrictions: They were able to alter the family style menu for groups to accommodate a vegan guest, a guest with peanut allergy and a guest with fish allergy at no additional cost.

If you like too much salt and loud atmosphere this is the place to go. When we booked a reservation days in advance, for 5:00, my husband was asked if we would be done by 7:00. While at the restaurant, our waitress approached our table we were asked if we wanted to hear the specials or no. Most wait staff would just say tonights specials are...., we werent asked if we wanted another beverage, etc. I guess they really wanted to ensure we were out within the 2 hour window.

This is my favorite food in sudbury. It is quite pricy but you pay for what you get honestly. Usually when people ask me what is the best food in sudbury? I respond with Bella vita, tommys not here and p&m in that order. Ive tried a few things on the menu and some of the drinks. If they have the lamb shanks as a special and you want to treat yourself, get it!

Food and service were very good but it was noisy, there were no soft surfaces to absorb sound. I might not recommend for a quiet, romantic dinner.

I picked up two dinners for my wifes birthday. The first thing I noticed when handed the food was how light the package was. We ordered Ravioli and Farfalle. The ravioli was decent, but there wasnt much quantity to the order. The Farfalle was extremely acidic and honestly tasted like canned tomato sauce. It also does not come with any protein, making the 35$ price pretty outrageous. The bell peppers in it were also under cooked. It feels like we spent 70$ on two appetizers and we purchased the large option. We often order from P&Ms and I would say the portions there are about 30% bigger, with a protein, and cheaper. We ate both plates and are now ordering a pizza. Would not recommend. I would think a 70$ meal would at least have some sort of side/salad/bread or at least a protein in the pasta.

We came out for a nice leisurely dinner. We ordered our drinks and asked that our order not go in right away as we wanted cocktails first. We would have ordered a bottle of wine but we didn t have our drinks 5 minutes when our plates showed up. I ended up drinking my martini w my pasta. The gnocchi was tasty but my husband s meat was dry. When we told our waitress why we were annoyed she just said sorry and left the table. We were in and out within 50 minutes. She could have been new but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

January 22, 2024

Went for my birthday on Saturday. Bon sauf que saumon était trop cuit. Had to return my plate and ask for less cooked salmon.. You could substitute potatoes and veggies for risotto which I did but pricy 11$ more for a already 35$ main. Biggest deception was the refusal of a 100$ visa prepaid gift card I got for Xmas. It is basically as if they refused cash. Maybe staff needs to be educated about this type of payment.

Food was fantastic, service was mediocre. Waitress was inattentive and did not come around to ask if we needed a refill on drinks or how our meal was. We weren t asked if we wanted dessert either. The bartender delivered the drinks we ordered when we first arrived. This isn t the type of service you would expect from a restaurant with such rave reviews. It was a totally different and disappointing experience compared to the last time I was there with a male server. If I do order from there again it will be take out.

Fantastic meal! We ordered the Penne alla Vodka, Gnocchi Scamorza and Genovese Pizza. The first item is a favourite from years ago (we havent eaten here in quite a while) the other two items were new to us. All three were simply perfect. We couldnt ask for anything to be better or different. We ordered this as a takeout meal and were also given fresh bread and parmesean to go with our meal. Cant wait to order again:)

Bella Vita is always on point with their food. Ordered takeout and there is always that wonder if their food will taste as good once you get it home as opposed to eating it at the actual restaurant? The Penne alla Vodka I had a good feeling it would be the same. The Grigliata Mista di Pesce - Mixed Grilled Seafood was absolute perfection. Mix them together and you have an outrageous meal for two. Bravo to the Chef(s) at Bella Vita.

We have had many take away meals from here that were so good but our in dining experience was different. We were a table of 6. Two people ordered risotto and many pieces of rice were hard and crunchy. This wasn t al dente but like raw bits of rice. One pasta order was also not cooked till al dente but undercooked. The pizzas were good. Overall for the price we were disappointed. On a positive note the servers were awesome and gave 5 star service.

Very disappointed, we made reservations for our anniversary. My wife requested a quiet corner and something special for desert. First they didn t have our reservation and seated us by the kitchen. They were quite busy as the greeter told us they had a lot of walk ins. It was very noisy, the service was sub standard and not up to their normal standards. We frequent this restaurant quite regularly and recommend it to everyone. We contacted them by phone and email and they called back 10 days later. The owner basically just called us liars and didn t care. We weren t asking for anything, just wanted to let them know what happened! So much for our favourite restaurant!

This past weekend, Fillipo and his amazing staff from BELLA VITA CUCINA catered our daughter s backyard wedding for 70 guests. They contributed to creating the Amalfi Coast setting that our daughter and son in law had wanted without traveling to Italy. The food was simply out of this world and truly an authentic taste of Italy! We still have guests messaging us and raving about the excellent meal that had been served. The various appetizers (stuffed mushrooms, caprese skewers, prosciutto wrapped melon and pepper bruschetta) were bite sized morsels of heaven. Refreshing caesar salad and tomato/cucumber salad followed. The homemade mushroom ravioli prepared by his mom Lina, penne alla vodka, stuffed chicken, and the juicy AAA sirloin steak are foods that I am still dreaming about now. My only regret was that I didnt get to sample the scrumptious vegetarian eggplant parmigiana! Jamie, Darlene and Jolin were attentive servers that went out of their way to make sure everyone had everything that was needed. Thank you so much Fillipo and staff for providing the sensational food and service for a magical wedding.

Generally, I enjoy supporting places like this as its the mom and pop shoppes that tend to get squeezed out of the economy. Its nice when they are still surviving, thriving actually. The parking lot was nearly full when we arrived and thats a great sign. The wait time was short, as I had called ahead. So we got seated right away, by I believe, one of the owners. The service was okay. Busy overall and it kinda felt we got less taken care of by our original waitress. As there was almost a full house. Nonetheless she did manage what she could. Clearing the table and bringing our main dishes got shifted to other staff though. The bread that is boasted as, made in house and a family recipe, arrived cold to our table and the taste was not exquisite. It was okay. It being warmed, may have changed the outcome of this. Our appetizers came shortly thereafter. All of which, were salads. I used a peice of the bread to soak up the remnants of my overly dressed beet and goat cheese salad. A rude comment was then made by the person who came to collect our plates (I believe he was one of the owners as he was the same person who sat us upon arrival), we have a dishwasher for that he said. Sometimes words sting and these ones certainly did. I felt hurt. Since I was hurt I retracted myself and did not say how much this comment effected me at the time. Sure, he meant it in jest. Yet there are things sometimes not necessary to be said. This was definitely one of them. Keep your mouth shut if it has any potential to be unkind! Is my motto. I would have enjoyed my meal a lot more had he not said anything at all. The pizzas were good. Nothing to write home about though. In fact, one of the group members mentioned, hes had better and I agree. Music incredibly befitting for an Italian restuarant. The lighting could have used some improvement. Pretty fire - cracker like lights, set the mood yet were LEDs and therefore not my thing. What peeved me the most, I wasnt even all that impressed with this place and I tipped on the higher scale of things. Oh well, enjoy it. Not sure if I will venture here again...

Enjoyed a pasta lunch. Tagliatelle Bolognese was good but likely wont try it again as it wasnt especially special. Espresso for dessert was perfect

I really wanted to like this place but the food was just ok. Started with a caprese salad which was 4/5. Ordered the lamb with a side of fettuccine. The presentation was nice but the lamb was too salty 2/5. The fettuccine was excellent 5/5. They nicely offered to replace the lamb so ordered the sirloin steak. Cooked to order but just was not a great piece of meat and flavour was just ok 3/5. Ended with a tiramisu which was excellent 5/5. Service was nice but the food was just meh. Would not come back again.

This place is a gem. The food is always great. The service is excellent with friendly and personable servers. My waiter made a food recommendation that was spot on. Vegetarian options: There were a number of meat-free options on the menu including pizzas, pastas, and salads. Parking: Parking is immediately left of the restaurant and there are plenty of spaces.

Wonderful Italian cuisine with a delicious menu and fantastic service. Im rating the atmosphere a bit low because we were put in a small plain room away from the major hustle & bustle of the restaurant atmosphere,however, the service was a 5 because they made accommodations for us when they had a full house and that room was all that was available unless we waited. Their homemade gnocchi is like puffs of delicate pillows enrobed in a delicious creamy tomato sauce - a must try . We will definitely be returning.

I was not impressed by Bella Vita Cucina. The food was good but nothing special. The service was awful we didnt even get one of our appetizers after letting the server know three times. We were done with our main courses when the server asked if we still wanted the missing appetizer. The atmosphere wasnt what I had envisioned. Based on what people had told me about the place. I wish we had gone to Respect is Burning as that was on our short list for the evening. Honestly Ive had better at Caruso Club when Ive gone for the buffet. The atmosphere was similar and tables were cramped and the overall layout was not indicative of the price they charge there. Quite obviously I wont be returning as I feel that the money spent didnt equal the service, atmosphere or food quality. I think Bella Vita Cucina may have been better once upon a time but that ship has sailed in my humble opinion.

I was in Sudbury for work for a couple of days and a friend from suggested Bella Vita Cucina. We were able to get last minute reservations for party of 5 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals and the service. I had the bow tie pasta with scallops and crab meat in a creamy leek rose sauce. It was delicious.

What wonderful service, and the lasagna was absolutely fantastic. It reminded me of Italys Calabrese regional foods. If you are concerned about the price....the old axiom applies here, you get what you pay for. In this case, top quality service, and top quality food. The ambiance was warm and soothing. It was like coming home.
