Been here lots over the years, and as usual, the food and service was great, can't fault it. But, and it's a big but in this day and age. As, with their new restaurant up the road, they offer no alternatives to milk, for hot drinks. This is unforgivable, seen as though everywhere else does. Come on guys, go and buy a carton from th shop around the corner, it's not difficult.

Decided to book this restaurant for a meal out with Family after hearing some good things from others Straightaway staff were Belligerent got told we must sit down immediately an order as kitchen was too close at 3:30 pm Although our booking was for 3:30 pm, and we arrived at 3:25 bar man sighing after each drink was ordered Food was bland Not as authentic Italian restaurant as they make it to seem Staff had horrendous attitudes, even though we spent over £400 Was rushed through our starters and mains Then waiter came clicking his fingers asking what dessert do we want hurry Absolutely Awful way to treat customers Definitely will not be returning Any time soon if I could give service less than one star I would, as it was at least minimum -5 star Take your hard earned money To a restaurant where you will be treated with respect And be able to enjoy it your food Without staff, rushing it down your throat

We all had starters and main courses which we all agreed were definitely delicious. Staff friendly & service flawless. The only let down from this Italian restaurant was where was the after dinner digestive liqueur? Especially after we spent £60 pp. I think that is the least they could offer.

I visited here with my partner and my family, we were a party of six. La Bella Vita has been a staple, go to restaurant for me and my family for a number of years. However, I have noticed that there are certain things that have been slipping at this establishment and I can't quite put my finger on it, but La Bella Vita just doesn't seem to have that spark that it once did. Service was hit and miss. Upon arrival we were stood waiting for nearly 10 minutes to be seated, even when there was no one else there waiting. We were shown to our table and then our waiter was quite quick to ask if we wanted any drinks and then later to take our orders. I have to say, this was probably the most disappointing meal i've ever had here and it isn't nice to have to write. I ordered the spaghetti with king prawn and salmon. The dish itself was VERY tasty. But, it was luke-warm and the portion size I received for a near on £17 dish was mediocre at best. My father ordered the chicken risotto and for the price he paid, he was served a cold dish and what looked to be a child's portion. Overall, the food experience for all of us was that the food is lovely, but no one had a piping hot dish and we left knowing full well we'd be having supper back home. Whilst not necessarily an occurring problem, it wasn't helped that there was what seemed to be flooding emanating from the toilets on the night and pretty the whole men's restroom was out of action and no running water or ability to flush the toilets. Very sad to write this review, but for the price that we paid for the overall meal we certainly won't be rushing back anytime soon. We could have spent half the money and received hot food from one of the many takeaways in Garforth and it would have been far more worth the money.

Came as a group of 7 for my grandma’s 86th birthday. My grandma went to order salmon however we were told the restaurant was out of stock. The waiter came back shortly after to say they’d managed to bring some in from their other restaurant nearby. All of us were very touched that the staff went out of their way to do this. Food was excellent and the waiters then surprised my grandma with a dessert for her birthday. A lovely and memorable night thanks to the staff :)

As someone who despises pasta and most Italian food, I can honestly say this is one of the best places I've eaten. The rack of lamb ribs in red wine sauce (I cannot remember the dish name) was amazing, puddings were delicious and the waiters didn't mind us ordering in the most botched Italian pronunciations you've ever heard. Will definitely be returning

Great Italian on Garforth Main Street, this restaurant came hightly recommended to us by our new neighbours and I can see why. The restaurant was very busy on a Monday night but the service did not fault. We were taken straight to our table and served very quickly. We had the Garlic Bread and Calamari to share for starter and we both went for steaks for our main course. Everything was cooked beautifully and is fantastic value for money. Just short of £90 for 2 of us for starters, steaks, sides and drinks seemed very reasonable. We can't wait to go back!

Food was well below average , and was made of cheap ingredients. More worryingly the waiter with the big bald patch on the top of his head with slicked back hair trying to cover it, decided that we were obliged to pay a 18% tip! When i politely asked him to remove this ridiculous cost he became passive aggressive and started trying to argue with me that i was directly responsible for his salary. In which i said he should have some courage to ask his Boss for a respectable salary as opposed to arguing with paying customers in front of the whole restaurant! One of the worst restaurants in NYC in my opinion. Avoid at all costs!

We recently visited here with our 2 grandchildren, although busy it was not full. The food was hot and tasty no problem there, the problem is how long you have to wait to get served and then again for the food to arrive. This was well over 2 hours for a starter and main, and not once were we asked if everything was OK or would we like this or that, but when it came to the drinks that was a different matter, plenty of service there, trying to get you to have more drinks. They just need to improve on quality of service, customer service and manners, all of which don't cost anything but make for a good dining experience: which this unfortunately was not!

Having visited this restaurant on several occasions before with my family last night was not a good experience. The service was poor in terms the waiters looked as though they did not want to be there and the food was served like slap bang there you go. Two of the meals had to be sent back as the pasta was cold.....no apology. To top it all when I asked for the bill the waiter first words the waiter said was there is not service charge would you like to give a tip and give me the bill......disgusting in my opinion. Not the experience we have had in the past.

I love authentic Italian pizza, I've eaten it here many times, however, to my disappointment on this occasion that is not what I received, instead I got a very thick doughy more takeaway style pizza. When I brought this to the attention of one of the waiters I was rudely reminded that I was in Garforth not Italy and I shouldn't have voted brexit.(very strange). Anyway, if you order pasta and get served alphabet spaghetti don't be disappointed, remember it's Garforth not Italy. 😄

In addition, everyone's meal came at the same time and no one was left waiting. All staff were very polite, efficient and non-intrusive. Also my Irish coffee was one of the best I've ever had!

Nice setting, will decorated place. Service is very good. And the place was recently featured in a list of great restaurants in Yorkshire. Unfortunately the food didn't stack up. The calamari I had was obviously from a frozen pack, it certainly wasn't freshly made on-site. I also ordered halibut, a nice chunk of it was served on asparagus, but the sauce was way over seasoned and spoilt the dish. I've been to the restaurant a few times, and the consistency of the meals seems to vary. Sometimes it's flawless, others not so good. Unfortunately my last visit was a not so good. Give it a try, if you drop on a great night you will not be disappointed, on a not so good night the food will be mediocre. It is a rather pricey place. £50 a head on average for starter, main and a drink.

This was our second visit for our company Christmas meal and was a delight. The calamari starter was cooked to perfection and I decided to go for a full pescatarian meal by trying the Salmone Allʼ Orientale with Asparagi Picanfi on the side. I rarely eat salmon outside the house because (although I’m no chef) I’m pretty good with steaks of any kind, but this dish was sublime. Really looking forward to taking my family for the first time on Mother’s Day and am confident they’ll enjoy it as much as I have in the past. (Pretty sure it’ll be salmon again too 😉) ¡Saluti!

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!

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.

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.

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

This was my first visit here and had previously been recommended to visit. I found the restaurant itself a very warm and welcoming restaurant with a great atmosphere. I ordered the lobster ravioli which I found to be very reasonably priced. The waiter was very friendly and requested for the mushrooms to be removed from the sauce. A bit of a strange combination, but I ordered sweet potato fries on the side. The lobster ravioli was divine, al dente pasta in a beautiful sauce with some large succulent prawns. The only reason I marked down one star is because unfortunately the sweet potato fries were soggy. Will still happily revisit but will avoid reordering those.

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.

October 26th 2023 We had booked a table and it took five minutes before anyone came to take us to the table. We ordered drinks and food. The portions were quite small but nicely cooked but when a couple in their forties came to a table three away from us and the woman got out a vape and when she was ordering pointed out what she wanted with the vape the waiter said nothing and she vaped and also filled it up at the table. I was going to celebrate my anniversary and did not want to spoil the evening BUT the waiters saw and did not do anything. That is the last time I will visit. Very disappointed that they did not point it out that she could not vape,

We visited La Belle Vita in Garforth twice in September 2023. The food on both occasions was excellent. However, again on both visits, we were left without greeting and basically ignored in the waiting/drinks area on arrival 5 minutes before our allotted time. I approached the bar person twice, but sadly he was clearly too busy serving the seated Customers to attend not only us but all Customers awaiting attention. I would respectfully recommend extra staff for this purpose. Sadly we were at least 20 minutes unattended which did mar t.he overall experience.

Not been here for a few years so was looking forward to taking my family for a treat. I had booked a table for 6, but unfortunately one of my grandsons could not make it. They had not seen our booking obviously and was hurriedly placed at a table they just made up seeing 5 of us. Once seated and after a short while, we were handed a Sunday Menu only. We had to ask if they did a Childs menu for my 9yr old grandson who was seated with us. I then enquired if they were only serving the Sunday Menu as I had looked on line and thought served Al a carte as well? Yes madam we do but don't just hand the menus out ?????? The meal we chose was lovely I have to say and were selected from all three different menus. I think the service could have been much better, more attentive and look more interested in serving customers. I wouldn't rush back in a hurry or recommend the restaurant, even though what we had was lovely. Better service and ambience been had not too far from there.

Called in here last minute before a gig at the wardrobe. The staff were very friendly and although all the tables were full, made room for us to sit in the window seating to enjoy our dinner. The food was gorgeous, very tasty, decent sized portions. Everything tasted homemade and well thought out, pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection and the sauces were delicious. I am not sure how often dishes change but I had a lamb ragu dish which I really enjoyed, my friend had a gnocchi which again she thought was gorgeous.

We only ordered a pizza and garlic bread the food was ok but nothing special. But then again it was only pizza. Also don't think it's right that they automatically add a tip to your bill.

The service was good - except one person who seemed a bit inexperienced. The big problem is the food in my opinion. The food styling was decent but the taste not at all. Very standard quality for the price. The atmosphere and decoration were great.
