The menu includes an excellent choice of pasta dishes, antipasti, meat and seafood options, regularly changing “blackboard specials”, artisan breads and indulgent homemade desserts, with increasingly popular vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options always available.

All food is prepared freshly to order in its extensively equipped commercial catering kitchen employing the finest and freshest, locally sourced and authentic imported produce and served in the very pleasant surroundings of a charming, welcoming and attractively furnished in-house fine dining area which may accommodate up to 100 covers in style and comfort, with numerous additional external covers also available on a delightful patio and lawned riverside dining terrace.

“Bella Vita” also boasts all the superbly fitted traditional free-of-tie licensed wine bar facilities associated with an establishment of this kind and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible expansion into the provision of local delivery and outside catering facilities in order to exploit local demand, and to possibly employing some or all of the extensive private accommodation for bed and breakfast letting purposes, subject to consent.

The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing facilities and services, both through its own dedicated website and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form some four highly successful years ago by the current director, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of five full-time and six part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.
