Bona Vita Bistro

To preface, this was our first time eating here and it was on Valentine's Day, which happened to coincide with a or several high school dances, so there were a LOT of big, loud groups close by. Given that extra factor, it was understandable why service was a bit slower. Taking that out though, the service and food and environment was great! We got seated pretty quickly and our server, I believe his name was Kelton, was attentive and helpful and professional. He went above and beyond for us and helped make our first time there a great time! We got some Italian sodas, raspberry and peach. 'Delicious' doesn't quite give them justice but they were 11/10! So so yummy. We used the $76 dinner for two deal for Valentine's Day and didn't regret it. The Caprese was awesome, both in appearance and ta

Went there the day before Thanksgiving around lunch and we were the only ones there. Our sever Brooklyn was excellent. I ordered the Butternut Squash Ravioli which was amazing, and makes me want to try more of their menu. My husband got the Mazzo pizza, it was good, but we both weren’t a fan of the onion which gave a weird taste. We were given bread before and during our meal, felt like we ate a whole loaf. Love that. The bread was fluffy and seemed homemade, and was especially great with the ravioli sauce. Would visit again.

The chicken alla nastara (pink chicken Alfredo) I just ordered on 1/8/2026. It’s supposed to be on of their popular items so I hoped for good things. It was super runny with a bunch of sauce at the bottom that wouldn’t stick to the noodles. The sauce was very bland and so was the chicken. There also wasn’t very much chicken. It was cut thin to try to make it seem like more. This pic was half way though picking through my take out so the chicken is gone but more to show the runny sauce.

If you're used to living the good life, you should try eating it too. Not only do you want good Italian food at an affordable price, you want something that's tasty, time after time. Treat yourself without having to travel to the "home country" of Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, Claudia Cardinale, and Monica Vitti. Bellissima!

The food was decent. Our waiter gave us accurate recommendations. The menus seemed really old and harder to read. You could see where the words were worn away by so many hands touching them. It’s a cute place for being in a strip mall. I don’t know that it was the most amazing food ever but it tasted good enough and our waiter was friendly and attentive. The butternut ravioli was a bit on the sweeter side like he guided us. Bacon wrapped shrimp was nice and warm.
