Why choose us
Why eat with us
Bella Vita started in 2015 with a simple idea: proper Italian food, made fresh, in a warm and welcoming room. Our pasta is rolled in-house every morning, our pizzas come out of a wood-fired oven, and our sauces are slow-cooked the way they should be.

Antipasti "Best Italian in Lichfield, hands down. The ragù tastes like someone’s nonna has been stirring it all day. We come back at least once a month."
"Booked the back room for my husband’s 40th — they sorted a set menu, looked after the vegetarians and coeliacs without any fuss, and nothing was too much trouble. Brilliant night."
"Pizza is the real deal — proper charred sourdough base. The kids demolished theirs and the staff were so friendly with them. Our new Friday treat."
