Best Fun Restaurants in Bella Vista

My husband and I have come here for so long, and wanted to have one last brunch here before they shut their doors. We have to say the staff, between front and back, are just rockstars at what they do and provide. The food is always top notch, the cocktails perfect, and the service warm and welcoming. Truly a delight any time we can spend some time with our 2 dachshunds and enjoy the outside space here. We hope you and team have much successes going forward and we hope for the next iteration will be here soon. Happy New Year Hawthorne's!

Amazing food as always! Service was perfect. Outside seating was cozy. Best pasta outside of Italy bar none!

Was a delightful classic Italian meal. We had pasta and seafood dishes and everything was outstanding. The mussels in white wine sauce were particularly delicious. The service was exceptional. I’ve been here a few times in the 70s/80s and it was fun to take our children there! ❤️

Exceptional food and service! We did the chef’s tasting menu, and absolutely loved everything we had. The staff was also fantastic! My only complaint is the bathroom situation; but it wouldn’t keep me away for future visits. The bathroom situation, although functional, could be drastically improved.

After trying multiple Italian restaurants in Philly and being disappointed by almost every single one of them, I can tell this restaurant revived my taste for Italian food. The Mushroom Ravioli was well balanced, not salty at all, and looked good on the plate. Gnocchi in a red sauce was really good, the presentation was great, and the portion was huge . The tomato sauce was well balanced and consistent. Marco was amazing attentive and kind . This is a great restaurant to have dinner , and now I understand why it is always packed!
