Bella Vita Ristorante

Pretty disappointed in my visit to Bella Vita.  Although the server was nice and pleasant, the service itself was slow and spotty.  The server was not knowledgeable on the food when we asked her questions about it.  The server was very slow in taking away unused plates and I had to ask several times to take items away because our table was getting too crowded with unused and finished plates.  I put my order in for a particular item, and then she told me that the item was unavailable AFTER she brought out appetizers for other people instead of telling me on the spot or telling us in the beginning so that I could have selected something else right away.  The food itself was just meh.  I had much higher expectations for this place.

Wonderful little ristorante with a patio overlooking the lake.  I suggest the Salmone grille it is divine.  We enjoyed the restaurant and had wonderful service but was turned off when they automatically added 20% gratuity and the waiter stated he would be upset if we didn't add to it.  Well buddy you would have gotten much more than 20% if you would have not added the gratuity automatically.

Food has greatly improved, always a great atmosphere.
