I split a chicken piccata and chicken parmigiana with my husband. My kids had a full size lasagna and a kids spaghetti with meatballs. Our guest had a lasagna. After we ordered they brought out plenty of bread and sauce for the table which was a nice treat. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and the sauce had herbs and was thick. It definitely gave more of a homemade vibe. I was very happy with service, the meal, and the ambiance was warm and italianesque.

We walked in expecting a simple Italian meal, but the aroma of fresh garlic filling the dining room told a completely different story. This wasn't frozen, reheated Italian food. This was a kitchen putting love on every plate. The homemade garlic knots arrived first, and they were massive, pillowy, buttery, and loaded with fresh garlic. The kind of appetizer that makes you rethink your entire order because you're already impressed. Then came the chicken parmesan. Crispy, perfectly cooked chicken smothered in a rich, robust marinara and blanketed with melted cheese that stretched with every bite. Pure comfort food done right. The fettuccine Alfredo was silky, rich, and balanced. Every forkful tasted fresh, handcrafted, and packed with flavor. Then our server, Hailey, brought out the Tony Special, and that's where things got serious. Perfectly balanced flavors, fresh ingredients, and a depth that kept pulling us back for another bite. Some dishes are good. This one was unforgettable. And dessert? The tiramisu was light, creamy, coffee-kissed perfection. The New York cheesecake finished tableside was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. Bella Vita isn't just a hidden gem. It's one of Oklahoma's best Italian restaurants that somehow nobody is talking about. Trust me, this drive is worth every mile.

You get another chance Tuesday through Sunday at noon to snag a cancellation, which is easier in my opinion. The pasta bar isn't the typical bar you'd imagine. You're seated at the place they actually make the pasta looking at a wall with pasta making tools. You do sit side-by-side, but we found it spacious and quaint. The service there is phenomenal. They're courteous, friendly, and helpful at explaining and answering any questions. The peppadew peppers were recommended to us, but we did not enjoy it. They ended up removing it from our bill, which we thought was nice. We didn't ask for it or request it, but our waitress felt guilty since she recommended it to us. The fried squash blossoms have a very light tempura style frying with a ricotta mixture inside. It was a bit too much cheese for us, but it was still good. The tagliatelle was good, but the vegetables in it were a bit strange. You don't really expect a crunch with your pasta. What I really didn't like about the dish was the black pepper. I'd randomly bite into a black pepper and it was overpowering. The lemon panna cota was tasty with the strawberries and cookies. The highlight was the Nutella cream puff pastries. It was delicious and light. Highly recommended! It was a wonderful experience, but the food was just good, not knock your socks off amazing. It's great to see how fresh everything is, just wasn't our taste.

The lady working the counter is super nice as well. To be such a small, unassuming place it has been a big hit so far.

The menu said it came with bread, but I had to ask for that. When it came out, the bread was cold in the middle. Nothing like reheated bread. The spaghetti with Italian sausage was heavy tomato for the marinara portion. Almost as if you squashed or blended up tomatoes, heated them up and put it over pasta. The presentation of the spaghetti gave me high hopes but sadly, I was disappointed. If this is "good Italian" for this area, I'll find another type of food to enjoy.
