We were invited to Bistro Bellavista for dinner one night. This restaurant is very close to where we live, but to be honest, after trying quite a few restaurants in our area we are quite skeptical of venues around here. We have had no such luck in finding a local favourite in the year we have lived around here. Bistro Bellavista has recently had a makeover, it looks a lot more inviting, relaxed, modern and bright then when we had previously walked past.
Going in with low expectations, we were pleasantly surprised. The wood fired pizza with a thin, crispy base was absolutely delicious. The arranchini was divine, the croquettes were possibly the greatest we’ve had. The pasta was fresh and flavoursome, the lamb cutlets, cooked to perfection! The staff were friendly and attentive, had we found our local gem?!
Dessert came out and I have to say I am quite fussy when it comes to desserts, sometimes I will look at a dessert menu and find nothing that appeals to me. I had the semifreddo and I have to say it was one of the best desserts I have had in Perth. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet and the perfect consistency!
Bistro Bellavista is definitely a new local gem! We will definitely be back again! Bistro Bellavista is also in the Entertainment Book and also have $15 pizza and pasta specials Monday and Tuesday nights. Definitely worth a visit!
