Restaurant Bellavista in Museumkwartier

Even though I prefer to avoid Italian restaurants abroad, this one surprised me: very good food, friendly service and fair prices.

Delicious pizza and pasta! We loved it! The pepperoni pizza is highly recommended.

Had a business lunch there, can only say great food, great service, and interesting setting. Need to go back soon !!

Great evening at this nice restaurant where the lovely owner creates a great atmosphere with her team. Definitely recommend this for a nice evening and a great meal!

Delicious food, good menu, lovely wine and nice atmosphere.

Delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. Authentic flavors. We sat comfortably on the terrace under the awning.

Ordered gamberetti pasta, spaghetti was very dry and prawns very firm. Service seemed to ignore me and very loud inside.

Excellent food, delicious dishes, and impeccable service. They also speak Italian. The waiter was excellent.

The most delicious carbonara I have ever eaten!

BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN THE CENTER OF AMSTERDAM Very professional, friendly and kind staff, very attentive to satisfying every customer request, menu with a wide choice of dishes, very clean and well-kept place, quality of products 110 and praise HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for those who want to enjoy an excellent culinary experience

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I've never been to Italy, but it felt like I was there—everyone was speaking Italian! The atmosphere was fun, and the service was incredibly helpful.

We’re regular guests at Bella Vista and always feel right at home. The staff are truly Italian, incredibly welcoming, and create a warm, family-like atmosphere every time we visit. The food is authentic and full of flavour you can really taste the love. The Ravioli Sorrento is my absolute favorite! Highly recommended for anyone looking for real Italian hospitality and cuisine. Grazie, Bella Vista team! We’ll definitely keep coming back!

Friendliness and hospitality are two aspects that are sometimes lacking in the hospitality industry, but here, they're top-notch. And they're also the best at cooking.

If you weren't able to swim on a hot day, don't worry, the tenderloin is already swimming in green pepper sauce for you. Besides, if you think you can choose a Weldone, you're just laughed at. At one point, we tried to make a joke to lighten the mood, but were unfortunately ignored. Playing together and sharing are not encouraged here. Once again, lo siento.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for years and it never disappoints. The food is always delicious, made with fresh ingredients and that truly Italian flavor that keeps me coming back for more. There’s something special about knowing that, no matter the day, the experience will always be a good one. The atmosphere is beautiful, elegant yet cozy, and the staff are consistently friendly, helpful, and attentive. In the summer, the terrace is perfect for soaking up the sun here in the Museumkwartier area, with a calm and pleasant vibe. In the winter, the warm and inviting interior with its sophisticated decor makes it the perfect place to enjoy a comforting meal. If you’re looking for a restaurant where the food is always spot-on, the service is reliable, and the ambiance makes you feel welcome, Bella Vista is a safe and wonderful choice in Amsterdam.

Delicious food in this restaurant

The seafood pasta is very fresh and the pizza crust is very crispy

Perfect place and food. Love it 🥰

Due to circumstances and death threats I don't come to work here! I'm really sick of it!

Small, cozy, attractive tent. Great tent, good food.

Ik was er gisteren met een vriendin. Klein tafeltje, alle tafels heel dicht bij elkaar. Heel veel lawaai, en ook nog muziek, waardoor je nauwelijks een gesprek kan voeren. Boven dit alles, het personeel. De drie obers spraken met zulke luide stemmen met elkaar, en het was echt storend. Het eten was ok. Wel duur. Een fles water € 7! Ik was blij om weer weg te gaan. Kom nooit meer terug.

Delicious pizza, very tasty fish soup!

Chic and cozy setting, top service and high quality cuisine, thank you to the chef for this great taste experience.

Great restaurant, small, atmospheric, very friendly staff and delicious food. Absolutely recommended. Been several times and am already looking forward to the next dinner there. Last Tuesday we had lunch with "the man" of the restaurant, Claudio, who also works as a waiter. Always laugh with me and take all the time for you. On the next one, 🍷cheers. 👊🏼 Greetings Ed.

Very fresh and excellent Italian food. The bread with olive oil was also very delicious. Very friendly staff too!!

True italian restaurant with a really cozy vibe, jacopo made us the best recomendations and really made us feel in Italy

Terrible restaurant, both in terms of offer and quality, never to return again, one star is too much, super rude owners

Great food and service. Lovely place

They took our reservation without having the availability ! We arrived and we didn’t have a table … their excuse was we called too late the same day ? Trying to put the blame on me … So why they said yes to my booking. Ridiculous staff and way of handling guests reservation.

Tomaron nuestra reserva sin tener la disponibilidad! Llegamos y no teníamos mesa... ¿su excusa fue que nos llamaron demasiado tarde el mismo día? Tratando de echarme la culpa... así que por qué dijeron que sí a mi reserva. Personal ridículo y forma de gestionar la reserva de los huéspedes.

Best food in town ! Great atmosphere and nice service

Nice Italian with excellent food. Quite noisy...

We had a great lunch at this iconic restaurant today. All high quality dishes and good and friendly service. Special remark for the espresso coffee: the hottest i have ever got it, very well done as in most restaurants you get it luke warm. The interior is not the newest but still good. The only thing for improvement is that there is a white paper cover over the tables to protect table cloth. Too bad as it gives a cheap feeling.

The ambience was great. Tables all set and very elegant. We didn't reserve in advance and still got a table. Service was rather unfriendly and unfortunately we didn't feel very comfortable. The pizza was ready quickly and was super tasty.

We came in by accident. Very nice place. Excellent pasta. Italian atmosphere. We really enjoyed it.

Very tasty Italian food in a cozy atmosphere. We chose to sit inside, but outside is also nice.

This is a true Italian restaurant; very good and fresh food and a bit chaotic! I love it! They have a terrace and during nice weather it is quickly booked. Friendly staff and in Amsterdam parking is payed. If you like Italian food; book a table and enjoy!!

De sfeer in dit restaurant is prima en je kunt ook buiten zitten. De kaart oogt eveneens veelbelovend. Helaas is de bediening wat traag. De bestelde spaghetti specialiteit met een soort tapijtschelpen was wat simpel voor de 22 euro die deze kostte. Een beetje parmezaanse kaas erbij zou niet hebben misstaan. De citroentaart en het ijs waren lekker maar verzopen bijna in de slagroom. Met en glas bier en twee koffie ruim 42 Euro. Ik vond het aan de prijs.

Fabulous experience, highly recommended

Great restaurant! We had an excellent dinner for two! Very good food and friendly staff! We will be back! Highly recommended

Great spot I only go for lunch as dinner is way to busy for me but foods great lots of wines and friendly servers

Food was good, some pieces of meat (beef) unfortunately a bit tough, other pieces (chicken and pork) delicious! Also more than enough. Very friendly service.

Aleyas great. It's a repeat for me

I celebrated my birthday here with family. Food fine. Too bad for our gluten allergy sufferer, unfortunately she couldn't choose much. Service mediocre, a bit curt, not cheerful

Good restaurant, food was tasty and famous people often come here

A few weeks ago we had dinner here with friends. A beautiful Italian restaurant with a nice ambiance. Highly recommended!

Goed eten, vriendelijk personeel. Gezellige entourage. Lekker knus. Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding. Voor herhaling vatbaar.

I have been coming here since I was (very) young and the food is always delicious and the atmosphere is great. Definitely recommended.

We stopped in on a quiet night and the food was outstanding. Would definitely recommend it for a quiet romantic place in the evening - though I'm sure it gets busy on weekend nights or during the dinner rush.

Such a lovely cozy restaurant. The food is great and the atmosphere is cozy. Definitely try.

Service is 3x niks. Restaurant was leeg en nog mochten wij geen plaats nemen omdat we geen reservering hadden. We zijn heel onbeschoft behandeld bij binnenkomst. Totaal niet vriendelijk

This place was great the waiters were attentive and very helpful. The food next level.

Lunch was fantastisch, echt een aanrader. Reserveren is wel noodzakelijk

Comi aqui um linguini vom vongole sensacional mas o serviço é fraco como em quase todos restaurantes de Amsterdam nem sequer forraram a mesa

The place is very nice, food is good. Service terrible, the waiter by the name Carlo is rude, impolite. We ordered a bottle of wine, asked for a decanter! They said they don’t have decanters, and the waiter shook his head. I asked for the manager. No one is acknowledging us. Asked to pay for the be and left the place. With two kids begging them for service. Very bad place, very bad place waiter. extremely bad service

High quality food prepared by Italians. Amazing burrata. Homemade tiramisu was exceptional!

Typische overrated Amsterdam Zuid zaak. Pasta's waren absoluut lekker maar bediening laat nogal wat steken vallen. Lang wachten op alles, kaart zelf moeten vragen na n uur. Constant de aandacht van personeel moeten vragen of zelf naar de bar lopen om te bestellen. En dat allemaal voor een behoorlijke prijs. Blonde knul doet zn best maar was nog niet echt ingewerkt. Voor ons niet meer.

I went two nights last week for food in Bellavista while in Amsterdam as it was close to the hotel. The setting is so beautiful, spotlessly clean, great ambience and the staff were all so friendly. All the food we were served was amazing, which was great as I'm a vegetarian, and the red wine a perfect accompaniment. Thoroughly enjoyed both visits and would highly recommend. I shall definitely return next time I'm in Amsterdam.

Great night, good food and super friendly staff!

Took a takeaway, a margarita and a three cheese pizza. Decent taste, nothing to rave about though. But it may also be because it was cold and by the time we had them they’re just about warm.

good food and great authentic italian atmoyand kitchen

Ben hier vaak geweest, altijd goeie service gehad en lekker gegeten!

Mega lekker eten en super aardig personeel. Aanrader!!

Very buzzy Italian restaurant. Great atmosphere, excellent food, good wine list. Service superb. Very enjoyable experience. This restaurant has a well deserved reputation and regular clientele as a result. Recommend.

Geweldig!! Gister de 18e verjaardag van onze dochter gevierd met 10 man en wow wat hebben ze er een feestje van gemaakt!! Alles hebben ze goed begrepen!! Heerlijk eten, geweldige wijn, shotjes op het goeie moment en scroppino’s als afsluiter!! Kortom; GEWELDIG! Dank voor een super avond. We komen snel weer!

Comida italiana bien hecha, atención magnifica

Good food, rather poor service.

Very nice place in Amsterdam.. service good and friendly. Good quality food. The pasta was well cooked, the sides are excellent..i like the breads they do... Ow an very good coffee.. one that need to be at your list

Wonderful Italian restaurant in a quiet residential area. Friendly staff, good selection of food and reasonable prices.

Heerlijke pizza's met een prachtig uitzicht op het meer. Echter de bediening was zwaar overbelast. Er stonden praktisch te veel tafeltjes voor de serveersters die aanwezig waren. We hebben 40 minuten gewacht op 1 bier en 1 cola. Ook was onze serveerster zeer onvriendelijk. +locatie + kwaliteit van het eten +prijs -bediening

Food was insanely good, the service was sadly a little lacking.

Zo een gezellig sfeervol en vooral lekker Italiaans restaurant! Een dikke vette aanrader om heen te gaan.

Lekker authentiek italiaans gegeten. Gezellig vlot personeel echt een aanrader

Busy place, but very good food.

Erg lekker eten. Ik vind het de beste italiaan van Amsterdam

Good Italian in quiet street Amsterdam Zuid. Book table outside.

Alsof je in een film van Fellini stapt. Hier zijn is een feestje.

Cuisine italienne delicieuse, dans un quartier résidentiel calme d'Amsterdam loin des flots de touristes.

Bella Vista is voor mij altijd een feestje, een romantische entourage met lekker eten, mooie wijnen en de koude grappa. Het personeel, de gastvrouw/eigenaresse altijd super lief,attent en vreselijk aardig, ook leuk om naar te kijken. Zeker 1 van mijn favoriete restaurants 💖

Goed restaurant; kwalitatief goede, orginele Italiaanse gerechten. Perfecte desserts. Leuke en vriendelijke bediening.

Man kann sehr schön draußen sitzen und das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Die Pizza Corleone war super, schön scharf mit pikanter Salami. 🍕 🌶 Preislich ok

Tasty traditional Italian fare. This place has been around as long as I can remember. At least 35 years. They were so busy they didn’t answer the phone so we had to walk over to order. An assortment of pizzas are available for takeout. Dinner for four was €80, which included three pizzas and an order of gigantic shrimp, which my parent loved. It came with a few veggies on the side.

Top restaurant, heerlijk eten!!!
