This place is a fantastic place to eat in Bella Vista. The food is so tasty especially the pizza and the desserts very delicious. I enjoy how it is busy but they always seem to accommodate us when we eat there.

Tucked away hidden in a row of shops among homes in Bella Vista. I wouldn't have known this place existed if not for the Entertainment Book. It's located in a courtyard and you can either sit inside or our. It's a nice location for families with young children. The food is good with a good variety on the menu. We had pizzas and pastas and there was nothing to complain about. It's on the pricey side but with the Entertainment Book, it was reasonable. Remember to book though because it does get very packed on Fridays and weekends. If you go in a group and if you sit inside it does feel a little cramp because of the way the tables are set out. It's a small restaurant and they try to maximize the use of their space.

Hidden in a tiny shopping mall, tucked away in Bella Vista's twisty suburban streets, is Jag's. A not-so-little Italian restaurant I didn't know existed until 5 days ago. I'm now happily enlightened.

We went here for a family birthday and catch-up, and, arriving at 6, were surprised to find the quite spacious restaurant already busy, but by no means packed. That changed quickly. Despite the tables being filled, our waitresses were friendly and attentive, though never intrusive. Our orders were taken promptly when we were ready, and our food came out in good time.

And *drooooools*
the food was GOOD.

We ordered, predictably, for us, the cheese and garlic crust, and it was GOOD. Offered in 3 sizes, the medium/regular served 4 of us well. And then came the mains. Hubby and I each ordered fettucine (you can choose the style of your pasta--spaghetti, fettucine, tortellini, and penne, which is also gluten free and then your sauce). He had bosciola, which was hot, creamy, and tasty, and I ordered the creamy pesto, which was bursting with flavour, and I couldn't stop eating--despite being over-full less than halfway through my meal.

Our friends ordered differently, with chicken and salmon coming out, and attested to it being 'the BEST salmon [they'd] ever tasted.'

Big call, huh?

I was ready to skip dessert, but not hubby. Not when creme brullee was on offer. And I'm kind of glad, because it was GOOD.

We were really impressed with the restaurant, the service, and the food, and surprised at it's success, despite it's surprising location. The food was not cheap, though I can't complain about portion sizes in relation. Think about $20 for a bowl of pasta, and $35 for the amazing salmon. Still, a nice evening and meal, and not regretted in the slightest.

Approximate cost: $20-40

Jags is one of our favourite restaurants in the Hills. We are regulars, and dine in probably once a week. We also occasionally get takeaway. The food is delicious, we have tried most of the menu! The service is good and friendly and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. When we get takeaway it is always fast and fresh.

Approximate cost: $16.00 - $26.00

I went to this place last night with friends. It was pretty crowded, and noisy (because it was a Saturday night). It would have been nicer if the tables could have been more spread out so that it's easier to hear conversation. However, the food was of good quality and portion size was reasonable. I ordered a Bella Vista Fettucine, which tasted great. I just didn't eat the olives, which tasted like wine (some people might like it though).

Outstanding restaurant for atmosphere, food and service. Always busy here, but the service is always good and the staff more than accommodating for any special requests. Take away is also an option and the service is just as good.

Approximate cost: $22

Service is awesome - located in a quiet spot - always friendly staff. Great Pizza and pasta with OK prices. On Friday and Saturday nights it is always best to arrange a booking as it can get crowded (small restaurant). Licensed restaurant with BYO (wine only) - we took beer but under some laws this is not allowed??? Pain if going in large group as there is no split bill - but most people can work it out for themselves. Love this place, very family orientated (more so beginning of the night). Have never received a bad experience at this place.

Approximate cost: $18.50
