    My party was the only one in there for Brunch at 11:15. It was quiet and the staff seemed unprepared to be serving people so early. But once we were all settled it was a wonderful meal with great ambiance and reasonably priced.

    The food is excellent, tasteful and fresh. The veal and chicken Parmesan was tender. Fish is very good. The service is excellent, very accommodating. Staff including the waitress and waiters, bar tender and the owner are very nice and friendly. The ambiance is warm, cozy and offers a beautiful view of the lake. Overall would highly recommend this restaurant for your next dinner out.

    Had a wonderful dinner celebrating our anniversary at Bella Vie last night! We had a lovely table overlooking the lake, our server was so pleasant and the food was delicious and cooked to order. Our dessert came with a special presentation for our anniversary and we were offered an after dinner cordial to celebrate. Will definitely be returning!

    Cute bistro style Italian eatery overlooking a lake. Good food and ambiance. Attentive service. Relaxing to watch the ducks coming and going.
