Bella Vista Ristorante

If I could give 10 stars, I would! This place was absolutely amazing! My husband and I rarely ever get to go out to have a nice dinner together - it’s even more rare when it’s one that’s fancy and requires a nice attire than jeans and a decent top. But, tonight, we decided to treat ourselves as it is Valentine’s Day. We have never once stepped foot in this restaurant until tonight, and I’ll tell you what - we will 100% be back again!! Our waiter Anthony, was such a friendly and professional and adorable human being. So kind and had such an infectious smile and didn’t seem to mind our cringey dad jokes. He was prompt with our service and had no issues answering any of our questions.

The food.. THE FOOD!! Absolutely spectacular. Unfortunately, I’m a bit picky when it comes to food. I love my flavors and I’m very keen on things being cooked right. I’ve had quite a few bad experiences which always makes me wary of new places. However, Chef Kevin didn’t disappoint!! Everything was bursting with flavor and melting in our mouths. Not a single complaint! We had the special dinner for Valentine’s Day and we chose the coconut shrimp with mango coulis - honest to god, I could put that coulis on ANYTHING it was that good and the shrimp was perfect! I had the caprese salad and my husband had the ceasar salad, again - perfect. For our entreés, my husband had the surf and turf with purple potatoes and grilled asparagus, and I had the pan seared honey roasted duck breast and a confit leg with a cherry sauce with roasted brussel sprouts and a sweet potato stack and looooorrrddd - we almost licked those plates clean!! Everything was cooked to perfection and had the most amazing flavors. And you can’t forget dessert, The Village Bakeshop coming in with the clutch on super juicy chocolate covered strawberries, and this chocolate covered mousse with a cake-like bottom and a cherry center. Magnificent!! 1000000/10 would recommend and we will DEFINITELY be returning! They need to open up their reservations for next year so I can make mine!!

This restaurant has a nice view overlooking the river in a nicely appointed hotel. They offer a breakfast buffet but at the time we arrived, everything looked dried up and they still had a couple hours left to go. We ended up ordering breakfast from the menu and I'm so glad we did. Our eggs, bacon and toast was freshly made amd arrived to our table hot. The servers were friendly and attentive.

After spending the day at The Falls - this was a Beautiful, relaxing way to finish our outdoor adventure. We had the option of sitting inside (their AC was set very c🥶ld) or drying off outside. We sat outside, there were a few little bugs, but what do you expect from the outdoors, by the water!?
The staff was welcoming, our waitress was friendly and very attentive. Service was Amazing! Food was Tasty and Fresh!! I ordered the English style Burger, medium rare, had to have it re-fired, it arrived pretty rare. Our order came out in a timely manner, and my burger came back rather quickly. My husband ordered the Pasta Ai Gamberetti, which our waitress recommended. We are so glad she did!! It was Absolutely Delicious!! I always thought pasta needed a heavy sauce, no!! It was light, lemony and delicious!! I'm ordering it next time!
This is a place I will proudly and highly recommend and return to.
It was a bit pricier than fast food, but well worth it for the service, quality and the view.
* Sorry I didn't take any food pictures - we were hungry!

Everything was perfect. Our server was grand. I think hey name was Olivia! She deserves a raise! Thank you for a good bday dinner for my hubby.

I’ve been wanting to come here for a while and finally made it out and we were both very impressed by how good the food was! We ordered the steamers, peach and prosciutto pizza, and the spinach salad with fried goat cheese. All were very good!!! The service was great and very friendly. We forget our servers name but he was so polite and gave us great suggestions on what to order! The only thing is that this restaurant is kind of in a weird spot being semi hidden in a hotel, it would totally thrive in a busier location ! But then again, you cannot beat eating dinner by the water!!!

I felt like we had to eat here due to default of staying here at the hotel but sure glad we did!
Friend and daughter had burgers, I was told best burgers they've ever had plus fries were divine.
I had the prosciutto Pear honey pizza. Complete show stopper.
Waitress was awesome and attentive, staff super friendly.
If I'm in this are again will definitely come back

Great food! The staff members were all so friendly, patient, and had good customer service skills. They all wore their masks correctly, which is especially important to me. We had a variety of food, and all of the entrees were delicious! The bread service appetizer was so, so good. Everything about the outdoor seating was nice- from the view to the deck. Eating on the waterfront of Niagara and the rainbow bridge doesn’t get better than this! Eat here for a nice day out!

Great gem hidden in Niagara Riverside Resort. Amazing restaurant with great view, super friendly staff, mind-blowing food, incredible bartender that actually know his drinks and aim to please. Definitely highly recommend this place if you are in the area. 😋😋😋😋😋

Very Good Food. We had a Dance floor Too.

This is the third time I had Anthony as a waiter and he was wonderful as usual. Very personable and continued to ask if we needed anything else. On a previous visit he actually ran out of the restaurant to the parking lot to bring me my purse which I had left behind. This employee should be rewarded! The fruited arugula salad was fresh and exactly what I wanted. The atmosphere is amazing being on the mighty Niagara River viewing the Grand Island bridge. I'll definitely be back!

Celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary here. Food and service was good. Definitely have the peanut butter chocolate cake.

The staff was extremely friendly. Loved them. I was pleasantly surprised and content with the food. The pizza was good and pasta light and savory flavor. The pictures were an afterthought. We just dug in and took pics after. Trust me. The food looked so much prettier when it first got to the table.

Their pizza left over...still delish!

This place is beautiful and the food was amazing. The service was great. All around a must try. Can't wait till come back

We were greeted right away and seated even faster. The outdoor deck was wonderful everything was clean in the food was good except for a few bees it was a great experience. Great mimosas too😊😊

Menu didn't have many choices, but the food was absolutely delicious. Steak was huge and cooked just right. Creme Pesto with chicken was very good as well. Not to many non-alcoholic options for drinks, and it was a bit busy, but we were sitting outside overlooking the river. The biggest issue I had were dirty water glasses, everything else was great.

Great outdoor seating with a wonderful view! Our meals and drinks were delicious. We will definitely go back to try the many amazing plates we saw being served to others. Our server, Sarah was absolutely wonderful! Wish they could get more staff to help things move along a little quicker.

Very adult place. No kids running around screaming and a gorgeous view! My husband and I had a server named I believe Anthony . We Absolutely indulged in our food we got bread and margaritas pizza! Perfect date place for a couple trying to enjoy company!

Their signature burger was incredible, and the view of the sunset was a great way to end the day!

A diamond in the rough.
The front of the hotel doesn't look promising but the view from the back is c'est magnifique. The food is worth a visit too.

We went into have a drink and take out on the deck. The drink was excellent (I'm very fussy because I'm not a drinker, so, it was excellent! The food dishes that I saw come out to the patrons on the deck looked phenomenal.
