La Bella Vita in City of London, Westminster

Very tasty food, friendly service. I've never had a bad meal there yet.

Quick, friendly service. V Generous calzone and salad. Good coffee. Nice, established family run restaurant.

It was my first time visiting this restaurant, service was quick and food was delicious. Staff was friendly and at all I felt myself as at home. Quite atmospheric and good location.

Lovely place with friendly staff and lovely grub! Try one of the homemade lemonades! 😁

Poor customers service.. Insane

I don’t even know where to start, food came completely cold after 70 minutes of waiting!!!!!! Packaging was leaking 🥴 Pizza was disgusting completely out of taste, rocket should be on top so it stays crisp and fresh not soft and wet from steam🤯 Mixed grill.. ridiculous amount of food for 22£ we got this… meat very chewy never again 👎🏽

Order from here a lot. Food is great every time.

extremely disappointed with the steak, it was awful.

I have visited La Bella Vita many times. The food is consistently good, I highly recommend the chicken bruchette. It’s delicious and very filling! Great prices, amazing food and very good customer service.

Very delicious chicken dish on a bed of home made arrabbiata sauce, (chicken bruchette on the menu and pictured) amazing rice and salad - perfect garnish. The portion size here was very generous and filling, seasoned very well and cooked perfectly. Succulent chicken. The prices are very reasonable too. Would visit here again. Edit - I’ve been here again and it was even more impressive. Delicious rib eye steak strip starter. Look forward to next time.

A nice local restaurant with good quality food, a good menu selection and reasonably priced. I was impressed with the quality of the calamari as some places use cheap frozen ones smothered in batter however this wasn't the case and it was tasty along with a creamy dip. The steak was tender and not chewy and once again is far from cheap produce.

Food was absolutely fantastic as always.

this item was not delivered and I am still waiting for my refund

I looked at the menu on the website and went to Bella Vita for a late breakfast. The website has a specific breakfast menu. When I arrived I was told not very politely that ‘we don’t do breakfast’ and ‘there’s no breakfast menu’. Well there is pin your website so get it changed perhaps so potential customers don’t have a wasted journey. I just left.

Delicious food and friendly professional service - not stuffy, a 'neighbourhood restaurant ' feel to the place. Food was reasonably priced and I'd definitely return for the gnocchi!

Few minutes late not bothered about that but the starter was terrible want to send a photo. The price of it and then what came disgusted

Excellent food and excellent delivery and the very nice person who delivered it. 😊

Lovely meals! The waitress recommended the risotto which was incredible. All of us enjoyed our pasta. The honey glazed goats cheese entree is worth going back again and again for. Great service and lots of home made options. Thankyou!

My family always have a great meal out at La Bella Vita. Portion sizes are brilliant and have so much choice. The seafood dishes are a treat and you might want to share the tiramisu, as it's enough for two! Lovely staff. Highly recommend this gem in Leytonstone.

We had a lovely time here. We really enjoyed the food we had here.

Local gem! I just thought the young man standing there serving no purpose, whilst the lady running around annoyed me. It made me feel bad for her, I don’t know the dynamics but they definitely need to restructure service staff a little bit. Food was great for the area.

Visited this place yesterday for the first time. Friendly staff nice atmosphere food is delicious. I was not disappointed.

Absolutely love the restaurant the service and the food is amazing

Visited this place for the breakfast with my hubby should say best in the area and very welcoming staff

I have been ordering a lot of food and a portion of spaghetti carbonara with £15.00 for 100grams ! which really frustrated me what I have been shocked ?? I have never seen in any restaurant to sale 100gr of spaghetti to an adult , with no parmesan on top, 100 grams could be for a child , and the stuff was responding unprofessionallly saying this is the portion not having good customers skills . I became a customer but from now I will find a different place , such a shame for trying to take people as stupid paying for literally an empty plate of spaghetti and saying people complaining is too much spaghetti maybe you could reduce to 50gr if yout he stuff thinks 100gr of spaghetti is enough for an adult 😁

We are regulars here and have never had a bad experience! The meals are always huge portions and delicious and drink prices are very reasonable. The service is second to none, so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. I've moved an hour away and still come back for meals here regularly, always worth the journey!

FAB place, great food fantastic service!!!

Very nice food for an affordable price.

Very good food and great place the service is super nice it should be 11 out of ten

Fantastic Gnocchi! Wonderful restaurant

Very nice food , good value , easy parking and the waitress is very friendly and helpful ! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Perfect cooked food with taste, the personal is very nice. We like the atmosphere and we will surely come again.

Ordered online and literally recived 1 potato! I'm actually fuming! Spend £17 including delivery for what? A chicken breast that cost me £15

food excellent,service impeccable

We have been coming to this restaurant for years and it never fails to impress. Great, attentive service, absolutely delicious food and good value. Nice decor and comfortable surroundings, food always nicely presented. Highly recommended nice local place!

Went to La Bella Vita last Saturday and was extremely happy with both the food and the service. I had prawns to start and my wife had the mussels, both came with so much seafood that the dishes could have quite easily passed as main courses. The sauces on both dishes had a great body of flavour and the seafood tasted of a high quality. I had the seafood mixed grill for my main which came with chips, chimmichurri and a side of roasted vegetables. The fish flaked apart with ease and tasted like it was cooked in a delicious garlic butter. My wife and an octopus risotto which came with a generous portion of octopus and had perfectly Al dente rice and a creamy sauce. We were both absolutely stuffed at the end of the main so did not have a dessert. Service was fast, friendly and non-invasive. Prices were extremely reasonable compared to other Italian restaurants within the area. Will definitely be returning here.

Food is excellent and very good value. I don't understand why this restaurant is not more popular. I have been going here very often and it is always fresh and delicious.

Found this restaurant by accident (I couldn't be bothered to walk back to the car, after parking in the wrong place). Nice little place. I had pasta Gambaroni, witj prawns, courgette, and asparagus, not mind-blowing, but nice. The bread was a little tough, and it was served cold; I would have liked it warm. Humous was a little dry. My friend's pasta was lovely and rich. For lunch, the portion size was fine, but if that was dinner or I was super hungry, I would want a little more. What we paid was a wonderful surprise. Would I go again... maybe

First time here, very impressed and will be back. Good service, lovely food, nice surroundings. We had the chicken milanese. The chicken was excellent and comes with spaghetti bolognese on the side. Great bloognese too, but quite a small portion which was my only criticism. It was only a side, but was too small a portion. The Tiramisu was huge, lovely, and is big enough for two!

Been going to this restaurant every now and again, eating something different every time. Never had a bad meal across pastas, pizzas, meat, fish/seafood and desserts. First time ordered as a takeaway and the food is still first rate. If this is one of the places in Leytonstone you always pass but haven’t been in, it’s a habit you’ll be thankful to break.

Sehr zu empfehlen. Super nette Bedienung. Das Essen ist wunderschön angerichtet. Alles frisch und schmeckt lecker.

Una vergüenza!!! No recomiendo este sitio a nadie. Me mandan esto como gambas al ajillo (adjunto fotos) sin pelar, sin ajo... Bañadas en aceite y crudas!!!! Llamo para quejarme y ña respuesta del señor que me contestó es que justo hoy le vinieron así..... Ehhhh hola?? Vienen asi siempre, pero se pelan y las cosas se hacen bien o no se hacen... Que yo no regalo el dinero! Fatal... Una auténtica tomadura de pelo...

Very nice food great customer service by a nice young Russian girl makes you feel really welcome

The calamari portion was very small, especially considering the high price. Otherwise the food here is always excellent quality

We were surprised how delicious was the pizza 🍕 . Highly recommended place to try for a delicious meal.

Amazing food! Good customer service, highly recommend.

We visited La Bella Vita for Sunday dinner and had an excellent meal. The food was fresh, cooked to perfection and extremely tasty. We had the garlic bread with cheese for starters followed by spinach and ricotta ravioli, funghi tagliatelle and a lamb roast dinner. We also had a couple of pints of peroni and a frangelico. The service was quick, the staff were friendly, the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The restaurant is a five minute walk from Leytonstone tube station or you can park outside (pay & display).

10£ for Calamari! Only 3 little pieces inside…Very, very expensive restaurant .

Love Bella Vita and every meal ordered is delicious. But please tell the delivery drivers to not put containers on top of the pizza boxes as I think half the pizza cheese was on the box than the pizza

Amazing services, amazing food!

First visit here, for lunch last week with a friend. Really pleased with the quality of food and service. They have a smashing lunch deal. Will be back to see things in full swing, hopefully, one evening.

First visit to this restaurant, for (boozy) lunch with a friend. It was quiet, but we were quite late in the afternoon. The lunch deal was very reasonably priced. Food tasted fresh and was of a good quality. Our server was friendly and attentive. I’ll be returning to see things in full swing one evening and to be a bit more adventurous with the menu.

Good Quality Pizza and side dishes.

RUDE STAFF AND MANAGER who need to learn some MANNERS. I WOULD AVOID EATING AT THIS RESTAURANT, where management have no ettiquettes in customer service. I wouldnt have even given this place 1 star

Didn’t have the parm ham on the pizza

I order from this place once a week but on this occasion I received HALF the size dish I normally would. Upon calling the restaurant they were not interested in assisting in any way whatsoever so that was the last time I will be ordering with them. Absolutely useless customer service!

Lovely food, could work a little more on removing the bones from the sea bass though as there were far too many.

Only 2 small roast potatoes with the chicken dish is a pretty rubbish portion for the price!

Fantastic Food Had 3 courses and i cannot fault any of it. Tasty, large portion specially the pudding Tiramisu it was to die for. I had the beef strips and hubby had the mussels for starter. Both had the fish platter, beautiful and tasty. Service was lovely, not too fast not too slow, perfect. Hidden Gem 💎

Fries overcooked, fish was ok, 2prawn okish

Traumhaftes Essen! Super freundliches Personal! Absolut zu empfehlen! Vielen, vielen Dank!

Love this place , service is quick and professional. Food is good , prices are decent Definitely recommend.

Very very nice Pasta, would definitely order from here again

Great just small hidden full of flavour not over expensive I eat hare very regularly as I am local pasta and pizza I love from here

La Bella Vita was recommended to me as a place to try. I was nervous about it, to be honest, because when I went there I couldn't tell if it was open. (The person recommending it had been there for breakfast and occasionally for lunch). However, at night it is really hard to tell if it's closed or not... I'm about 90% sure this is why it was empty when I arrived. Upon entering, the staff welcomed me warmly, and I took a seat. The food was as recommended, absolutely delicious! I hope that in writing this, people may give this place another look instead of walking by and assuming it's closed... or perhaps the management will do something to ensure that people know that it's open because the food was definitely worth the visit.

Food was great. The meats were tender and well marinated. Good portion with the price. I am very happy to order again in the near future. Thank you chef !!!

Very nice restaurant in Leytonstone. Delicious food and polite staff. The atmosphere was awesome.

First time of not giving the full amount of stars. The food (except the carbonara) wasn't very warm

Very impressed with this restaurant. Varied and in some respects unusual menu. We received excellent service and all enjoyed the dishes that we ordered. Not local for us but if in the area again would definitely eat here. Highly recommended.

This is ba far one of the best Italian places I ever been to. Food is absolutely amazing. Very nice staff. Would highly recommend 👌

Veramente maleducata il conto era di 46.80€ io ho dato 50€ e non si è degnata nemmeno di portarmi il resto in più prezzo troppo alto per la qualità dei piatti, pesce veramente schifoso congelato non si poteva nemmeno mangiare, buone solo le bruscette

Amazing food once again. Thank you

First time ordering from here and will definitely be ordering again. Food was very tasty and generous portion sizes. I ordered through just eat but it wouldn’t allow me to add extras to my pasta so I called the restaurant and they told me to add it in the ‘notes’ section to which my request was fulfilled. Very friendly person on the other end of the phone so thank you

We were a party of 10 and really enjoyed the freshly cooked food here and the excellent, attentive service. Highly recommend a visit here!

I love this place I go here a lot great food good portions and really well priced good flavours family run for the price it's really good

Local Italian legendary restaurant. Worth a visit!

Pizza was really good. As Italian I am always searching, this is possible the definitive answer??? Well done 👍

An ofe place to have food. Good menu. Good pizza. Can take away pizza.

Bad service rude staff especially lady at till. Not child friendly at all. Need to change their manners.

I order a "scaloppa" and us Italian this is not a "scaloppa"i have received meet topped with cheese and ham wich obviously wasn't good.

I haven’t ordered the seafood linguine for a while. It was disappointing. Portion was small for the price, there was hardly any sauce or seafood. There used to be a prawn in shell in the dish. There was not and the dish was oily. Won’t be ordering again.

Terrible food and not what I ordered

Never had a bad meal here! Love the lobster ravioli. Small but they're happy to accommodate a group if they've got the space. Can get quite noisy when full just because it's small.

Food was delicious, keep it up . Unfortunately not happy as no tissue was provided.

The carbonara doesn’t taste like I expected at all. It seems like it’s just bacon and cream sauce, really bland. Put most of it in the bin. Garlic bread was okay, nothing special or very garlicky Won’t be returning.

From the starter to the dessert a gara my of good food! We will come back for sure!

Lovely local Italien restaurant. Great Pizzas and friendly service

I've waited until I've dined here about half a dozen times before writing my review, because I have eaten so well every time I could not believe just how good this place is. On my first visit, I dined on the chicken escalope with spaghetti Bolognese on the side, and it was superb. What truly impressed me was that the pasta was served al dente, so it had been cooked to order - highly impressive for a high street café! I've eaten my way around the menu on subsequent visits, and can truly say that I've never had a bad meal here. The service is friendly and knowledgeable, everything is cooked to order (as I have already said) and the portion size is generous to a fault. If you are looking for somewhere to celebrate a special occasion, this is the place to dine!

Lovely food, good service. Had the 4 stagioni pizza.

Rude staff and racist, seen them treating delivery drivers as slaves or something which is totally unacceptable. The girl on the till needs to have some manners and needs to be educated and taught how to behave with customers and delivery drivers. They are the ones delivering your food to ur customers. I hope they learn something instead of being rude.

Great local place to eat in, good value for money and great food and service

Excellent food and great service. My friends and me have now added this restaurant to our weekly list. The staff are excellent and nothing seems too much bother. The seafood is particularly good

Great food have ordered from here a few times and will continue to. Definitely recommend trying this place out.

Atendimento e comida excelente.

So glad we found this lovely little Italian local! Great pasta, atmosphere and service. Will definitely come again :)

Food was very bland. Not hot and tasteless

Service was good,food brilliant worth the money.

Had a seafood/fish extravaganza and it was delicious! Mussels, octopus and the grilled fish were cooked perfectly. My youngest loved the pizza.

Amazing food, amazing service! A MUST GO

Lovely restaurant. Café style. Great food. Service very pleasant. Would come here again. A+++
