Minding Your Business- La Bella Vita Kitchen and Bar

La Bella Vita Kitchen and Bar is a staple in the Orleans dining scene and the go-to spot for some of the most delicious pizza and Italian-inspired cuisine on the Lower Cape. 

Founded and run by partners Chuck Konner and Mike DiSabato, La Bella Vita offers something for everyone seven nights a week, all year round. With a warm and inviting indoor space, cozy heated deck, seasonal outdoor patio and oversized bar area,  La Bella Vita caters to locals and visitors alike right in the heart of downtown Orleans. 

“We had a great summer and a very decent fall so far,” DiSabato said. “We are going into our sixth winter this year and we’ve got a lot of great weeknight promotions going on. With the economy being so challenging right now, we want the community to know we are here for you.”

DiSabato and his team have come up with special features for almost every night of the week, all designed to bring people together over amazing food and fair prices. These will be featured alongside a rotating daily specials menu. 

Many diners are already familiar with La Bella Vita’s very popular Tuesday lasagna night (served with a choice of cheesy garlic bread or salad for $21.99) and their Thursday night “Bella Duo” (two starters and two entrees for $69.99), both of which can be ordered for dine in or take out. Now La Bella Vita is also offering 20 percent off all food on Sundays and a $20 meal deal on Mondays on some of the most popular menu items. They will feature a “mid-week treat” theme on Wednesdays with half-price appetizers for dine-in guests all night and 20 percent off all to-go orders. La Bella Vita will also continue their super popular daily half-price appetizers and pizza from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.

“I am excited about all of our new offerings, especially the Monday night $20 meal deal,” DiSabato said. “There’s going to be nine items to choose from like our chicken parm, clams and linguine, the bolognese, eggplant parmesan, grilled salmon and more. It’s a great savings. We are really trying to make it affordable for people to come out and dine.”

The mainstays on the menu are still huge hits night after night. Guests have a full array of pizzas to choose from like the “Bee Sting,” a fresh garden pizza, and clams casino pizza. Standouts on the starter side include salads and appetizers like truffled brussels sprouts, steak and cheese egg rolls, and gigantic homemade arancini or meatballs. On the pasta and entree menu, diners can’t go wrong with anything, especially authentic offerings like spaghetti and meatballs, lobster ravioli, grilled rib eye and pork osso bucco.

“The chicken parm and piccata are two of the top sellers for us, they are real classics here, along with our bolognese,” DiSabato said. “We also rotate out a different salmon dish often, too, which is always popular.”

Now offering local delivery and online ordering, La Bella Vita makes it simple and easy for everyone to enjoy their favorite dishes and take a night off from cooking. La Bella Vita is one of those places where you instantly feel at home, whether it’s cozying up to the bar for a craft cocktail, dining with the whole family, or picking up take out. With the holidays right around the corner, stop in for one of their fun weekday specials and treat yourself to an incredible dinner out.
