I had a fantastic experience dining at Bella Vita! The food was excellent – full of flavour and great value. Alina, the waitress, was incredibly helpful with her suggestions and made the experience even better with her friendly and attentive service. Highly recommend this place for a delicious meal and wonderful hospitality!

We don't live that far from Ollerton but had not come across Bella Vita until friends suggested we meet there. We do like Italian food and Bella Vita did not disappoint. Service was good and the price was more than reasonable. We will go back again

Two words Wow Factor I took my fiancee for a surprise meal, as we were being led to our table by this funny, engaging woman her name was alina and right from the start she made us feel like family. Congratulating us on our anniversary. I ordered the fillet steak wrapped in parma ham in mushroom sauce alina said I would love it and I wasn't disappointed It was cooked to perfection I asked for medium rare and that's exactly what I got the sauce wasn't over powering. I'll be honest we were made to feel like family and alina was funny and so warm. If I could give this restaurant more stars I would and I'd highly recommend this picture perfect place. We are going to make this our regular spot thank you so much for having us.

I went in with my fiancé and was greeted by staff and seated in a nice corner to make our meal intimate. I enjoyed this. The staff looked professional, especially the small one with her tie. We couldn't choose from the menu so asked the staff for preferences. Our server advised something from the special menu. My partner choses the fillet steak in a pepper corn sauce, I ordered the fillet steak with pasta. It had prawns and was in a tomato sauce. Omg it was devine. Our server kept coming up to us asking how we are doing, if we wanted drinks when she saw our glasses were empty. She was friendly and my partner did her usual thing and made her laugh which I thought was nice as she felt like family which was noce5

This authentic Italian masterpiece is hidden in the center of old Ollerton in a quiet location with car parking. Nice warm welcome from Andrea, front of house, great menu and excellent food. Nice homely atmosphere with plenty of willing staff. Wonderful soup and bruschetta for starters, pollo fettuccine and pollo cacciatore. Decent wine list, Peroni on draught. Overall pleasant experience and would recommend. Booking recommended.

This was our 3rd visit and has been just as good as the previous 2. We both had fillet steak in parma ham with a Dolcelatte sauce which was one of the evenings specials. Absolutely excellent, the extra sauce was enjoyed on the lovely al dente vegetables that we have enjoyed each time we have visited. At each visited we have been warmly greeted by the friendly team here who provide excellent attentive service and look forward to our next visit.

Went yesterday for the first time in a few years. Traveled from quite far out too. The atmosphere had really gone down hill and playing the most obnoxious birthday music really killed the vibe. Took over half an hour to have our drinks order even though we booked in advance to then not have the wine we wanted, took another half hour for them to take out food order. Bought out the starters and one of them was wrong, when we said this the lady came over and said we'd ordered something different (definitely didn't) and what my partner ordered they didn't even have. Most of the servers did not look old enough to even be working there in the first place. Worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant.

Really sad looking food that tastes as good as it looks. A picture paints a thousand words and after seeing our food two words came to mind: “Oh dear”. To have to wait thirty minutes for a starter like this fills someone with exceptional disappointment- a clear indicator of the quality of the mains to come. As such, we cancelled the remainder of our order. All in all a meal not worth waiting for.

Service was great, albeit slightly overbearing with a continuous ask whether we were okay every 5 minutes. But the actual meal was extremely disappointing. For the absurd amount of money spent on basic 'Italian meals', i.e., spaghetti bolognaise, homemade garlic bread, or even a pasta carbonara, I'd expect to be wowed for restaurant quality. Yet I could have prepared the same meals for under £8 at home and been happier. However, if you're going in for the chef special of fish on a stick, I suppose you get your moneys worth. Overall, I won't be returning as the price doesn't justify the cost / quality of the meal, but I'm glad to have tried.

I've been to many Italian restaurants. Often food is average and usual menu. However, you can normally depend on great atmosphere, service and welcome and enjoyable experience. This place was the opposite. I had to check that it is owned by an Italian, although he was not visible. Poor service, dead atmosphere, depressing, in fact, and very poor food.

Thankfully my partner and I laughed about it and just walked out and saw it as a free glass of coke for the evening but on Valentines day it really isn't a very good evening. I'd suggest being more attentive to your customers and the order they arrived also. Had to watch everyone that came after us be served and we just weren't waiting any longer.
