Bistro Bella Vita

Good tasted good and they seemed to be super aware of how to prep for celiac, but I was so sick after eating there. Huge bummer.

Celiac friendly?

No

Good knowledge of ingredients and a straight forward menu. Quality dishes with balanced palates and local sources. It’d be great to see a pasta or bread/bun option.

Ate here during a recent trip to Grand Rapids. The print menu has more options than the online version, and the food was quite good. I got the duck entree, and after ordering it one of the kitchen staff came out to inform me that the egg that comes with the dish was cooked on the flat iron grill, which may be subject to cross contamination, but that they could pan-fry it if needed. I was quite grateful for that, and had no issues.

Lovely restaurant, delicious food and the best service. They are always so friendly and attentive. Their gf menu could be a bit better but we still love Bistro!

The staff is knowledgeable. I'm Celiac and they will alert the kitchen as to that so they take special care in the food preparation for those with Celiac. Nice decor as well with dinner selections.

Nice options and good staff!! I am a sensitive celiac and never have problems here.

Great menu and always helpful!

Excellent choices. I had the Paella and my son had the samon. Both were excellent. I can't recommend the antipasto. That was disappointing. but service was fantastic and our server was very knowledgeable.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Never disappointed.

Really amazing food!! Separate gf menu. Salmon was fantastic. Bit expensive, but totally worth it.

One of my fave gf restaurants. Have eaten here a couple of times. A bit pricey, but delicious food and they are very knowledgeable about gluten issues. Highly recommend!

One of my fave places to eat in GR. The risotto and pork tenderloin is very, very good. Staff is extremely accommodating and knowledgeable.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very acomadating and aware of allergy conerns. They have a sepetate gluten free menu that was brouht to me, that had plenty of options for apetizers and entrees. I was not limited at all. I also have a casein allergy and the server (Tom) was very aware and notices all conflicts their might be in the kitchen and even knew without comment to avoid butter. All of there servers seemed to be very aware of the kitchen, and ingredients in each item. Its a bit pricey, we spend $80 on 2 people, but food and atmosphere makes it completely worth it! I highly recommend Bistro Bella Vita! it is very easy to eat there gluten & dairy free, which really says alot. (My date who is able to eat whatever he wants, was equally impressed with the quality of food here!)
