Bella Vista Restaurant in Winnipeg

Was told when we sat down they had no seafood, steak, or beef cannoli, so we peruse the remaining item on the menu and order. The waitress soon returns to tell us they also do not have ribs, one of the entrees we ordered, back to the limited menu we go. The bacon carbonera was half cooked bacon and dry fettuccine noodles partially coated in bacon grease. The mixed grill another entree we ordered was a pile of beige and very unappealing. I guess we should have ordered pizza? The ambience is nice and the entertainment was great!

Good food nove atmosphere

A Wolesley staple! Great service, band and fun regulars.

Years of great pickup pizza are over now I guess .......price of a large Bella Vista went up by $5.00 and crust was soggy when I got it home.

Great food Great people

Had such a lovely Sunday brunch experience! Food is totally on point, with a fair list of classic and original brunch offerings that will please any group of people. Coffee was excellent and piping hot. Service was prompt, courteous and extremely friendly. They had some cocktails offerings as well (a Caesar and a mimosa), but I couldn't partake at the time.My absolute favourite part of the whole brunch was that there was a singer on his acoustic guitar playing some hella tasty JAMS. Dude had a slick combination of classic favourites and modern melodies-- sure to please your parents or your date. Being a cultureless loser, I absolutely lost my mind when he pulled out All-star by Smash Mouth. 11/10, will return in the near future.

Great neighborhood place to be, warm people, great food and music.

Amazing pizza, friendly staff, and great live music.

The pizza and entertainment was good

Great atmosphere, awesome pizza, terrific music (weekends), friendly staff. A Winnipeg classic must visit.

I saw waluigi there so give stars he winked at me when he heard me ordering10/10 would recommend

Best brunch in town!

This place makes a great pizza! The Sicilian pizza is definitely worth a try. The place looks a little bit dated but it adds to the character of it.

Bella Vista is one of our favourites...definitely in the top 5 on our list...Absolutely Fantastic! The Sicilian add bacon and an antipasto salad...mmm...so good!

Friendly staff, fabulous tasting food, decent drink prices plus they even have live music on the weekends. Oh yes, and they make one of the best pizzas in the city.

Amazing breakfast, and they're only getting better!

I hadn't had many bad pizzas in my life but I just had one today.... Not enough sauce, very thick dry crust.

Cozy neighbourhood eatery with great food and drink. We had the Greek salad and the Bella pizza. Comfortable seating.Excellent service and friendly atmosphere.Live music on weekends!

Classic neighbourhood pizza joint and lounge. Friendly service and great straight up Italian fare. There is often great music on the weekends. A local favourite. Restaurant accessible via back/parking lot door.

For years on the weekends, this resturant has faithfully supported local bands in Winnipeg. Friendly bar, great live music starting at 9pm until late Friday and Saturday and yummy pizza. Even some dancing. Right in the heart of the granola belt in the Wolseley area. (if you found this review helpful, give it a like!)

I have been a patron of Bella Vista for 20 years now, and their pizza has never ceased to be incredible. Between hand tossed crust, high quality ingredients, and (I believe, but don't quote me) home made ingredients such as the sausage, you're in for a treat. Manager Armando and staff always have this little corner restaurant and bar filled with friendly neighborhood locals and smiles. On occasion, live music is featured from a wide range of acts, and you're sure to always enjoy a home-like, neighborhood vibe, and feel like this has been a regular spot for years, even if it's your first time. Always delicious food, and a great menu for dinners (pastas, pizzas, salads, etc). If you haven't been to this Winnipeg Gem, treat yourself, and you'll discover what you've been missing all these years. Great food, great music, great people and great vibe.

Great pizza (best in the city?) And warm fantastic staff.

Excellent Sicilian style Pizza's! Lots of flavour and plentiful portions! Hours are not always exact during the week, but Friday and Saturday evening/night Great local live bands! Check it out for yourself.

Awesome, great pizza and live music!!

This is an authentic Italian restaurant. The best pizza stone cooked . Italian wines. Same owner 35 yrs Armando music Fri & Sat no cover charge very safe and pleasant place to go to. Open daily at 4.30 7 days. Beautiful paintings on the wall. (Italian scenery) try it you may like it

Bad service, rude owner pizza was not even clase to as good as it usually is.

I've been coming here for years, it's always great.

Great food, but the live music made the whole evening amazing!?! Highly recommended!

foot was garlicy but incredible. really tasted fresh everything tasted hand made. The crust on the pizza is probably the best in the city. I'll definitely be going back. It's more expensive than your normal pizza but it's well worth the date night or night out with the guys before you go drinking

Had brunch here this morning...BEST benny's I've EVER had!

Great pizza and awesome live music!

Great music late nights in the weekend.

Good food and great staff

One of the few local spots that do a genuine Sicilian style pie.

Glad to.have 1958's Ross back making branches!

Food was good, service was lacking. Waited an hour for a pizza. Not the waitresses fault as they were understaffed.

Consistently good pizza, good service. I don't think I've ever seen the place busy during the earlier hours. A visit is recommended.

Great live entertainment and awesome pizza!

Nice atmosphere, great food, great service. Similar cost to other italian resturaunts in the city.

Great food and great service.

We were there in the afternoon. First guests. Very friendly greeted and no rushing us to select what we would like to eat or to drink. We had a salad to share and a big pizza bellavista which were both very delicious. I would like to return on a weekend evening for some live music together with some more of the nice salad and another pizza. Definetely not a very fancy or stylish place but warm welcoming and probably the best "my kind of place" if I'd live closer. Warm recommendation.

The service was horrible. Ordered coffee it came room temperature no word of a lie. Brought it to the kitchen took 30 minutes to get a fresh cup, ask for a refill they forgot asked again received it 10 minutes later. Charged me for 2 coffees so no refills. Took over a hour to get our meal. Never again

Great pizza and live music on Fridays and Saturdays

Amazing place. Great food great service great atmosphere

A Winnipeg cultural institution. Go there on Friday’s and Saturday’s to witness live music and delicious pizza.

Love this place for the vibe and the music. Hope my band The Vibe will soon be playing gigs here.

Always great service from staff, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is welcoming

What a lovely place! The environment on its own is so homey & comfortable. The live music tonight by Snapmare Driver was bloody fantastic! And the cheese calzone was DELICIOUS!

This. Place. Is. Amazing.The pizza is truly the best you'll find in Winnipeg and the environment is beyond chill. The service is awesome and the pizza is hand made EVERY TIME and it's beautiful.Should definitely check it out.
