Our humble beginnings began in 2004 in a cosy Italian inspired restaurant in the heart of New Plymouth. In 2011, with our growing standards of dining we relocated into our current larger premises. This gave us the opportunity to offer a more extensive range of both food and beverages. Our extensive menu range gives us the ability to cater for those special dietary requirements, and our restaurant is designed so that we can accommodate all types of groups and functions.
Have your function or celebration at one of New Plymouth’s top restaurants.
With a restaurant designed to accommodate group bookings small and large, there is no better place to celebrate your special occasion than at Bella vita. As well as our versatile A La Carte menu we have a delightful selection of set menus ranging from $45 to $75.
Book your group in for lunch or dinner, or come in and discuss your requirements with us, together we will design a menu you will love for that special occasion. We have two separate dining rooms each room can cater for up to 50 people or 100 people for the whole restaurant. We cater to those special dietary requirements. We are also happy to do separate accounts for your function. If you wish to exclusively book out either side of the restaurant, there is a minimum spend of $2000 per room, so $4000 for the whole restaurant. This amount can be spent however you wish, on the set menu and/or over the bar.
