What Karen L doesn't like about La Bella Vita:
We were extremely let down when we visited the restaurant, as the website displayed a full a la carte menu. However, upon arrival, we were only presented with a very limited set menu by a waiter who struggled with English and lacked proper serving skills. Although the food that was available was of good quality, there were very few options on the menu, including only a few specials. It is disappointing to note that w... View all feedback. What MichelleALuton likes about La Bella Vita:
I hadn’t been to this restaurant for years and wanted somewhere different fo my husbands 60th celebrations. There were 10of us and we didn’t pre order which was good as what you decide on at the time may change on the night. As it was choices changed when the specials were read out. The service was very good although a couple of times I had to chase the waitress for more wine. Also, some of the meals didn’t come at t... View all feedback.

Spaghetti Bolognese was very good. They let us sit down even though we arrived 15 minutes before closing.

This is an incredibly authentic, old fashion Italian restaurant, offering a very traditional Venetian menu also in a very traditional setting.

Despite a disappointing experience with limited menu options and slow service, La Bellavita still remains a favorite spot for many, offering delicious food and excellent service. The restaurant may seem dated but provides a unique dining experience with a varied menu. Guests praise the quality of the food and the welcoming atmosphere. The lunch set menu offers great value for money, while the lobster Thermidor and king prawns are standout dishes. The cozy and comfortable ambiance, along with the accommodating staff, make it a hidden gem in Hitchin. La Bellavita is recommended for those seeking a memorable dining experience with high-quality and freshly made dishes.

They will take your money, refuse to provide a service in return and have a little laugh when you ask for a refund

The service was terrible. We were overcharged, assuming we wouldn't notice. The sandwiches were bland. The staff does not wash their hands or wear gloves.
