    It's the 1st time at this new location. Bright and airy. The Bella Via Manhattan was very good. The grilled calamari was as good as I have ever eaten. The veal saltimbocca was tender and tasty. Going back again. The valet was a nice touch.

    My wife, a friend and I had a lovely dinner at Bella Via. This was our first time at their new location, though we had been to their previous location several times. The service and food was great. My wife had eggplant parmigiana, our friend had chicken parmigiana and I had pan seared halibut with artichoke. Each of us were given a side of mostaccioli marinara. It was really wonderful. Bella Via is neighborhood gem.

    I love their new location. Much smaller and more intimate than their old place. I love the vibe here. Service was outstanding. Food wasn't up to its usual high-quality level tonight. It's usually great, but something was off tonight. I've been here before, so I'll chalk it up to a bad night. I would definitely eat here again.

    Food was good, but it was so loud that I could hardly hear the person sitting a foot away from me.
