Bella Vita
Bella Vita is a pizzeria and restaurant in London's Hackney borough located near Broadway Market, serving traditional Italian cuisine with fresh ingredients imported from Italy. The menu spans antipasti, pasta, pizza, and homemade desserts, alongside Italian wines and cocktails, with vegan options available throughout.
The restaurant was established by founders committed to bringing authentic Italian cuisine to London with a focus on regional traditions and techniques. Head Chef Guglielmo, with over 30 years of experience, brings traditional cooking methods from Sardinia and has shaped the kitchen's culinary direction.
The name Bella Vita means 'the good life' in Italian and reflects how the restaurant brings people together around shared meals. You can see this in how guests sit close to one another, eating and talking as if part of an extended family.
