Bistro Bella Vita never fails to exceed my expectations. A Grand Rapids staple. Before concerts, shows or just for fun. Very spacious and comfortable dining area plus bar. Atmosphere is great with an open layout, and great view of the city. This restaurant has an upscale type atmosphere with a modest price for what could be considered fine dining. Professional staff is very friendly and prompt to seat you and get your drink and food order. Food menu has great and unique options. Pricing is a bit higher than some places but still on par for many restaurants in the area. Quality of food is exceptional and the portion size is adequate. Lots of healthy options to choose from and the seasoning is just right, but you can also ask for more so the meal tastes to your liking. They also offer gluten free options. Large parking lot located directly across the street. I highly recommend everyone try this downtown GR hotspot. Any occasion is best suited for this restaurant and you will not be disappointed. Join them for Happy Hour, lunch, or dinner. Their cocktails are delicious and they have a very extensive wine list. Don't forget to have dessert!
