BellaVista - Stockton

My mother’s birthday was a success at Bella Vista !. She’s not a big fan of Italian food but she had a bite of chicken Alfredo and was in loved ! The food was yummy and seasoned to perfection. Not so bad for our first visit here : .

Thursday night. I checked online and it was dining until 9 pm and a DJ scheduled to be playing Mo Town music until 10 pm. The last Thursday night he played Latin Music on a Thursday night but certainly wouldn’t do it again especially when Friday nights are Latin Music nights. (I went on a Friday night and enjoyed Latin Music with invited friends that wanted Latin and Mexican Music. The $9.99 all-you-can-eat pasta dinner and $2. a glass wine specials on Thursdays are great. But going up on the rooftop area where we expected over an hour of Motown Music on a Thursday was a huge disappointment again.

The service is terrible the first time I went in December and it is still terrible. They forgot our cocktails, we waited 30 minutes before they were delivered after we reminded the waitress. There was no one at the bar to work the bar. They were no busy, hardly anyone in the restaurant. They brought our entrees before we finished our salads, so the entrees got cold sitting on the side. My friend and I were sat by the exit door, when there were plenty of seats to choose from. The food is good, but I can get it to go, because the service is terrible.

What a deal! Thursday night is all you can eat pasta night for $9.99 which also includes delicious focaccia bread and a nice salad. Service was excellent and pasta was delicious. Restaurant is lovely and quiet enough to actually have a conversation with friends. We brought an out of town friend and were very pleased that we chose Bellavista.

Maybe the best Italian in the entire valley. One would have to travel to San Francisco to try to get a better meal.
