About this business
Of the dozens of Italian restaurants that line Hanover Street in Boston's North End, this may be one of the friendliest. Small tables pack the tiny dining room where families come to celebrate. Traditional dishes include chicken ziti and broccoli; grilled veal and spinach; and lobster fra diavolo, the house specialty. Generous portions mean plenty of leftovers to enjoy later. The restaurant serves beer and wine.

BOSTON'S BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT!
My partner and I were wandering the north end looking for a quaint, cozy, romantic place for dinner and came across Bella Vista at 288 Hanover St. Our first impression was a cozy inviting atmosphere. It was busy and took a few minutes to get seated. The staff was friendly, but not overly attentive. The menu had a great selection of traditional Italian cuisine, and very reasonable priced. I ordered the veal saltimbocca, and my partner ordered the chicken marsala. It was one of the best meals I have had in the north end. You c... read more
Best Food, Great Service – First let me tell you that my wife & I have been going here for years. The food is always amazing and extremely reasonable. This is the only place I will eat in the North End. A lot of reviewers are telling stories of bad service and food. Do not believe these people. I have been there enough to know these stories cannot be true. This is a small restaurant so if you don't make a reservation you'll most likely have to wait for a table. There's no waiting area inside so you have to wait outside. This... read more
Great lunch, delicious food, unbeatable prices – Bella Vista literally means "beautiful view" and I'm not exactly sure why they named the restaurant that because it has everything but a beautiful view! The food is delicious and the perfect place to go for lunch in the North End. The prices are absolutely unbeatable. While the decor is, well, interesting (somewhat authentic Italian, but when I went two weeks after Easter they still had stuffed animals hanging from the walls), the food is very authentic Italian. I've spent mon... read more
Wonderful authentic atmosphere with great food – If you are easily intimidated and need to feel superior over people, then this is not the place for you. If you love italian food and service that is colorful and passionate, you will find it here. Wonderful value and the food was great. I was sorry that I wasn't in Boston longer and could have gone back. The service was great. It was not fast, I enjoyed the great conversation. The waiter/owner (bald scary guy with lots of facial scars), Tony was a character. Gruff mouthy exte... read more
bella vista – So i read all the reviews underneath me about the food not being that good and the management being rude and i disagree. When i walked in we were sat right away in a nice table in the middle of the resturaunt. They brought warm rolls over to the table and we ordered our main meals. I ordered the Chicken Parm and my boyfriend ordered the Veal. It was amazing! The manager checked on us about 3 - 4 times and was very polite. She reminded me of my Nana the typical italian with a little attitude. The atmosphere was ... read more
