I dined out with a group of 6 other women. Our waitress was very attentive. Great menu. The size of the meal was a little smaller than i expected, but was very yummy.

We all stayed on having a few more drinks after dinner but the staff didn't try to get... More

Very helpful staff, let us look at the menu before we decided to dine there. We had the chicken cannelloni and Vodka del Pollo, both beautiful and finished off with a chocolate dolci.... More

A group of friends went to dinner at Bella Vita last night and it was my first visit there. The atmosphere was very pleasant, service top notch and everyone commented on how enjoyable their meal was.

We ordered vege and seafood pastas and feta salata - all fresh and delightful, as if we'd eaten there. Quick too.

We returned with our two daughters (5&6) at 6.30 so we could eat early ahead of the Festival of Lights in Pukekura Park. Lovely meal - I... More

We have eaten at this place before and it was very good! However just recently were part of a larger group and the servcie was terrible - kept waiting for 2 hours before mains came out and food wasn't of a good standard, my chicken was dry and over cooked. Would think twice about using this place for a group
