Bella Vista Italian Restaurant - Restaurant in Fruit Cove - 540 State Rd 13 N, USA

Family decided to go out for an impromptu dinner and try something new. We are so glad we chose Bella Vista. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Our waitress was super helpful introducing us to a new menu. We had always wanted to try a table side fettuccine so we had the Signature Cacio e Pepe. This is not your regular fettuccine Alfredo for sure. The table side presentation was fantastic and the dish was amazing. As a party of 4 we all shared it as an appetizer. Our main entrees were equally yummy. If you are looking for a neighborhood Italian Resturant in the Fruit Cove area, this is you place!

Came here with family for dinner, environment was nice and our server was great. We had the complimentary bread as our appetizer and we ordered chicken parm, kids chicken tenders, a grilled chicken house salad and pizza. I really enjoyed my chicken salad and everyone else enjoyed their meals too. Prices are a little high but all of the food seemed quality and worth it. We will likely come back in the future.

We made reservations for a fairly large group for dinner, had to make some changes to the reservation but everyone was so accommodating! We had dietary restrictions, not a problem! We had the BEST service, the owner and our server (Gary) constantly checked to make sure we were all very happy with everything. I will be coming back here as often as I can thanks to our wonderful experience!!

If you’re not up to cooking dinner tonight you should try this amazing Family Package deal! 🇮🇹 Even if you’re just a party of 2 like us, you can enjoy Bella Vista for several nights to take the pressure off prepping, cooking and cleaning!! 🍝 Thanks again, Bella Vista! 😊

I am particular about my margarita pizza and Bella Vista amazes me every time. The sauce is probably my favorite - sweet yet just enough zest. This business is family owned and supports local schools such as Fruit Cove Middle School. As apart of the PTO board, we are so happy to have such a reputable business supporting our school!!

Wonderful, family centric restaurant and location! The food was delicious and authentic. Our host, Alessandro Il Napoletano was very friendly and inviting!! I will be back!

Pop the champagne I finally discovered a great Italian restaurant in Jacksonville!!! Tonight’s date night with hubby was one for the books. We’re originally from Rhode Island & Boston where there are lots of amazing family owned restaurants. Well tonight at Bella Vista we felt like we were transported back home. This local family owned and operated restaurant gave us all the feels, and oh yeah, the food was excellent too! So many of the staff went out of their way to meet us & converse - Alessandro our tableside cacio e pepe creator clearly has so much pride in his work, our server Ayla was super personable, and Gary was so friendly he introduced us to his fiance & daughter. Everyone was very gracious and goes above and beyond with their customer service & that alone is a reason to visit & support this restaurant. And secondly we loved our food! Hubby and I crushed a bottle of pinot grigio- it was chilled, light & crisp and paired beautifully with our meal. Started with the calamari which was great, lightly fried, tender, and a good portion. I loved my eggplant rollatini- it was a huge portion (could be a meal imo) and was very tasty. Lastly the cheese sauce & fettuccini for the cacio e pepe was heavenly! If u like alfredo dishes you HAVE TO try this because it’s 100x better. I somehow restrained myself and saved some leftovers for tomorrow and omg I can’t wait. We live a little over 30mins away, but we will happily return! Such a great experience and meal!

Dropped in for a quick bite because we weren’t super hungry. We ordered a simple pepperoni pizza. It was anything but simple. It was absolutely delicious!. The ingredients were fresh and as always and it was cooked to perfection. Our favorite pizza anywhere. We actually sat up at the bar in front of the pizza and appetizer sections. We engaged in conversation with the sweetest young lady making appetizers and desserts. Her name was Natalia. She was a pleasure to watch, you could tell she enjoyed her job. She was so kind and gracious. It makes us want to sit up at the counter whenever Natalia is working. Great experience! We love it!
