Review:

La Bella Vita is a delightful Italian-style restaurant in Bar Harbor, focused around ideas of local cooking, community gathering, and health-conscious produce and oils infused in a variety of excellent traditional entrees. Dinner service focuses on classic rustic dishes such as veal parmigiana, chicken saltimbocca, and veal scallopini, served up alongside land and sea plates such as rustic shellfish stew, braised boneless short ribs, steak frites, and Old World-style bella filet duos. Diners can also enjoy quattro formaggi or margherita brick-oven pizzas and specialty paninis or create their own pasta entrees from a variety of pasta, sauce, and topping options. An extensive handcrafted cocktail program is available from the restaurant's bar, along with regional and national craft beers and a variety of non-alcoholic mocktails. Two Bar Harbor locations are offered, including restaurants within the Harborside Hotel, Spa, and Marina and the beautiful Bar Harbor Regency.
