Bella Vita Ristorante - Elkhorn

Food was fabulous, service was exceptional! Nicole handled our party of 30 with ease! Her experience, professionalism and patience are qualities you don't see every day. Absolutely recommend for family dinner, date night or the 301 room for a special occasion.

This little Italian joint in Elkhorn is a nice surprise for those looking for good food off the beaten path. Like me, you'll probably want 75% of the items on the menu pizza, pasta, salad but you'll have to narrow it down. Luckily you'll have bread, water, wine, and some time to mull it over! In the end I went with the Parmagiano with Veal and she got the classic Lasagna. Both were excellent. Their red sauce is tangy, sweet, and lightens up your taste buds. I have no doubt that the sauce of contender options like the Lemon Orzo's basil pesto, or the Tortellini di Manzo's black peppercorn brandy cream sauce would be just as excellent. It was busy on the patio at 7 o clock (one hour to close) on a Wednesday. Though our waitress was quite busy and took a while to get to us, we didn't mind. They gave us everything we wanted (you want some space at a place like this). I was impressed that she went table to table taking orders without writing a single order down. Somehow she managed to get everything out perfectly. So yes, I would absolutely recommend this restaurant for a casual evening out with your spouse or a few close friends. I myself will be returning to try the other 70%...

Do yourself a favor and visit this hidden gem! The place is amazingly creative! They have outside patio seating, which is always nice. Atmosphere is chill and cool, but the staff is also really friendly. You can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Michaela was my server and she went above and beyond to make sure I had a good experience. She's awesome! Give her a raise! Food is really good, some italian classics and some twists, and for their prices it’s 100% worth it. I ordered the Lemon Orzo with shrimp and was licking my plate at the end!

Tonight we found a quaint Italian place on a brick main street in Elkhorn. We tried a Sicilian appetizer dish for the first time Arancini Balls. We ate our weight in pasta, had some wine, and even finished with a piece of chocolate cake. (I still can’t believe how much we ate lol). I guess what I’m trying to say, you should definitely try this place out . It was absolutely amazing. Thank you for the experience

Fabulous food, great service! We enjoyed ourselves.
