"I dined here for Thanksgiving dinner. Many times, holiday service is spotty. You don’t get a good representation of what a restaurant can offer when there is a holiday menu. I found their menu to have a lot of great options, including traditional Italian dishes, as well as traditional Thanksgiving fair. Most importantly, service was great. While the restaurant was quite crowded, the service was never hurried, rushed, or lacking. The wait staff was on point. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing, not too noisy or chaotic. Even the restrooms were immaculate. I met the owner and thanked her for a lovely Thanksgiving meal experience. We will be back to dine and try their regular menu one day soon. Highly recommend Café Bella Vita."

"I had a fantastic time at Cafe Bellavita in Staten Island, where we celebrated my sister-in-law's surprise birthday party. The food was perfect, the staff was amazing, and the ambiance was lovely. We ordered a variety of dishes, from pasta and salads to chicken and fish, and everything was delicious. The ingredients were fresh and high-quality, the flavors were authentic and well-balanced, and the presentation was appealing and appetizing. The portions were also generous and filling. We also enjoyed some wine from their extensive selection, and they even offered some kids meals for the little ones. The staff was incredible, from the hostess who greeted us warmly, to the servers who took care of us attentively, to the chef who came out to wish my sister-in-law a happy birthday. They were all friendly, professional, and accommodating. They made sure we had everything we needed, and they even brought out a cake with candles and sang along with us. The ambiance was cozy and elegant, with a nice decor and a relaxing music. The restaurant was spacious and clean, and the lighting was soft and romantic. They gave us a nice private room where we could enjoy our meal without any disturbance. Cafe Bellavita is a wonderful place to enjoy a great meal with your loved ones. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality Italian restaurant in Staten Island. I will definitely be back soon!"

"I have a genuine love for this place; it has left a lasting impression on me. Having been there twice, I can confidently say that I absolutely adore it. The combination of great prices, exceptional service, and delicious food makes it an outstanding dining experience. What captivated me even more was the inviting atmosphere that enveloped me as soon as I walked in. It's not just a place to eat; it's an experience that you cherish. Every moment spent there is delightful, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure you have a memorable time. They are always attentive, making sure you're content with your choices and genuinely caring about your satisfaction. Believe me when I say, you will thoroughly enjoy your time there!!!"

"The portions were enormous and the place was surprisingly elegantly appointed for a place in a strip mall! For $40 we got essentially a 5 course meal: bread, salad, appetizer, entree, and dessert. Basically 2 whole meals for $40. Not too shabby! Their salmon with champagne sauce was quite good. Their tomatoes were unfortunately just so-so which is surprising given it was summertime when we dined. The "parfait" was literally just ice cream and the other desserts were pretty average as well. Clearly not a place that employs an Italian pastry chef. One of the waiters seemed very cranky to be there but the other staff were charming and lovely. Overall, great value!"
