    The food at Bella Via is always fresh and delicious. The grilled calamari is a favorite and their specials are seasonal and tasty. The staff are super friendly and it has this feeling like you are the most important guest at their dinner table. Thank for an amazing experience. I will be back soon.

    The tables were close together, the noise level was a little high, and the setting was not as warm and inviting as the prior location. The service and the food were excellent, and more than made up for the other issues. We will definitely return to dine.

    1st visit. We arrived early , ordered soon & waited 30+ minutes for too spicy, too soup, salad with salmon & octopus app. Heard it was coming…in the meantime others coming later were served promptly. Food cold when served. Asked for lemon 3x for h2o & Diet Coke 2x. Server is pleasant but handled too many tables.only checked once…unaware how long we finally waited. Noted your pricing is higher than in HP. Overall was quite disappointed.

    Service was fantastic. Salads were crispy & fresh. The main entree- halibut, artichokes in lemon butter was disappointing. My entree was swimming in lemon butter sauce. The brûlée was a bit burnt on top but otherwise tasty.
