Visited this wonderful restaurant on Wednesday evening and already cannot wait to return! The staff are fantastic, welcoming and attentive and the food is just amazing! Beautifully cooked and beautifully presented, each course was top class. The restaurant is tastefully decorated, comfortable and everybody that came through the door was given a warm welcome. Our friend, who was celebrating his birthday, was made to feel very special ... his dessert plate had his name and a birthday greeting and the staff all sang happy birthday! It is clear that the staff at Bella Vista make everyone feel special and this combined with the fantastic food, make it, without doubt, the best place to eat in the area. Cannot recommend it highly enough and are looking forward to visiting again. Thank you all at Bella Vista xx
The food is incredible and the staff are so welcoming and treat you like family. Absolutely recommend this place! Five star!
The food and service were absolutely brilliant. I had never experienced such good service and food quality in England. We loved every dish , wine and desserts were delicious. Well done to the chef and staff. Will definitely come back again and again. 😍
Wow wow wow! We could t be more pleased to have found this place very last minute. From taking the booking the gentleman on the phone was incredibly polite and helpful.
We walked through the door and the ambiance just felt amazing with everyone enjoying there dinner and wine.
The staff all dressed impeccably with white shirts, black bow ties and braces you really felt that you was there to be looked after.
We had a starter, main and a beautiful bottle of wine with some complimentary lemon chello served after our meal.
The stsff waited on us like royalty and made us feel incredibly special whilst we enjoyed our food, the steak was literally to die for 😍
We will definitely visiting her again when we come back on our travels.
Lovely young chap stood and waited outside as we was about to leave so that he could open the door for us and wish us well on enjoying the rest of our night.
What an absolutely FANTASTIC experience, thank you to you all.
Beautiful lunch. Food was out of this world and beautifully presented. Only criticism was service was a bit on the slow side. Whilst we don't like to be rushed it took ages from ordering deserts and coffee for it to arrive. We had to ask where it was and then it turned up. There seems to be a lot of emphasis on parties with birthdays or celebrations which is why there was a delay on our deserts. Otherwise a fantastic restaurant.
Superb menu, authentic and well thought through. (My background is in Hospitality and Fine Dining so I speak from experience)! The food looks as good as it tastes and is reasonably priced. The drinks are well made if a little pricey, wine list is good. Service is relaxed and efficient. Atmosphere is modern and relaxed with sea views from some tables. Outdoor space is nice for Al fresco dining. Will be back!
Some of the best Italian food we ever had. We had a booking, but it was raining so we decided to do take away instead.
Everything was absolutely delicious, and the order arrived super quickly
This place was amazing. Great service, fantastic food and a lovely atmosphere.
We were visiting Hastings on business and were looking for somewhere pretty straightforward to eat, but we're blown away by this little restaurant on the sea front.
We were a walk in and they found a table for us no trouble and there were only a couple of tables taken. Within an hour the place was full and buzzing. All credit to the manager and the staff for an well run operation and everything was top quality.
We went to this restaurant for our anniversary. The food was absolutely amazing! So full of flavour and cooked to perfection. I am vegetarian, and it was so lovely to look at a menu and have a whole page of lovely dishes to choose from. The staff were all very professional, polite, and smiling. We didn't make them aware, when we booked the table, that it was our anniversary but they saw us clink glasses and brought over a plate that said "happy anniversary" and complementary shots. This was a lovely surprise and ended our evening perfectly. We will definitely be eating there again
What a beautiful little restaurant.
Was out for a walk along the seafront with our newborn looking a for a spot to get some lunch and strolled across this venue.
Walked in and asked if they had space for 2 and a little one and they was more than welcoming.
Clear spaced for our pram and made us feel most welcome.
All the staff are amazing and so lovely, the two ladies waitresses are worth their weight in gold.
The food was incredible and all freshly made to order.
Highly recommend!
Can’t believe I’ve lived in the area the best part of 30years and only just visited.
It’s our new favourite spot in town.
See you again soon.
Thanks for having us :-)
Wow the Chef is having fun and the staff enjoy there work. My wife and I went to La Bella Vista yesterday lunch. A very nice greeting and welcome, excellent Menu and Winelist. Then we were not surprised but shocked at the very high standard of cooking. We have eaten at high end Italian restaurants all over Europe, and we were not expecting this quality, and we have both struggled over the last 24 hours, to think where we have had a better Italian meal. We can't wait to go back to Bella Vista again beginning of July.
Excellent portion sizes, authentically Italian staff, great flavoursome food, friendly atmosphere. Love the outdoor seating. One of the nicest places to enjoy a beach view with great food in the wonderful town of Hastings. I’m a regular.
