A tasty, unique place

I love this quiet restaurant hidden away in plain sight in Burbank. The inside is a 60's dream of an Italian trattoria under a pergola. Always busy, but there's always a table. And yet you feel like you're meeting for a secret rendezvous.

Great pizza (thicker crust), great salads, and very tasty reditions of the classics: spaghetti and meatballs, lasagne, calamari, ravioli and tortelloni. The "3 P's" sauce for the pasta--proscuitto, peas, parmesan--is really outstanding.

Tasty, friendly service and not too pricey!

We enjoy most family occasions at Bella Vista. The house pizza, clams and porcini mushroom raviolis are the best. Authentic flavors - terrific sauces. We heard this place closed after operating for 30 years. We will miss Tony's Bella Vista.

We were invited to a surprise birthday party for a wonderful old Italian man who goes to Bella Vista alot, so his family had the party there. It was great, we were in a separate room and very well attended to by the wait staff....We started with a nice salad with oil and vinegar dressing, then they brought out plates with a good piece of lasagna and then 4 different big pizzas. All favorites...

However when we do it's always the same...consistent wonderful food. The owner and the staff are friendly, the lights are dim and the booths have the old "red leather" look all of which make it nice and cozy....

Traditional Italian style restaurant, I absolutely love the pizza and have not had a bad one yet with the many different combos I have tried. The salad dressings on the house salad is one of my favorite dressings of all time. Being able to get a carafe of Chianti just adds to the allure of this place. The place could use some updating but that certainly is not going to stop me from coming back.

I've enjoyed this restaurant many times over the years. The food is fantastic! If you are looking forward to authentic Italian from the old country this is the place for you. Waite staff is always cheerful and efficient. Could not ask for fresher antipasti or better sauces. I will be returning many times in the future to enjoy the Old World Style.

I have been to Tony Bella once and found a cheap americanized version of italian food there. I had a clam liguini - precooked and out of a can. There is nothing authentic, fast food quality.

Cons

I love this place. The calamari is excellent as is the rest of the menu and the service. All that they need is a soda fountain so we don't have to pay for cans.

Pros

- They give cans of coke

This is a great, no nonsense, old style Italian restaurant and the thin crust pizza is some of the best in the city! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't let that put you off. The service was fantastic, and there was plenty of booth seating for a cozy meal.

Pros

+ Great Pizza, Good Service, old-style Italian restaurant ambiance

Cons

- none that we noticed

This pizza is well worth it, the freshest ingrediants coupled with a chewy, airy dough and a glass of house chianti offers the diner an explosion of taste. The interior welcomes you to an old school ""mafioso"" setting with red leather and dark wood. Closed on sundays is the only drawback, as this pie should be a staple on a day of football. Chicago meets Burbank and I hope its open for another 40 years

Pros

+ Food and Price

No Refils – The pizza here is pretty good. The cheese sort of slides off when it's really hot. The pepperoni is ok, thick slices of meat. The garlic bread is very tasty.

I recommend that you take your pizza to go as there are not free refils on the soft drinks. The water kind of has that chemical taste so it's not even a very good alternative.

My wife and I were looking for some good pizza places in the Burbank/Glendale area and stumbled across this place. It's the best pizza I've ever had... Ever. Now, I've never been to New York, Boston, or Chicago, so my opinion may not mean much to some, but everyone I've taken there so far has agreed that it's at least the best they've had in LA. We make it a point to go about one a month now. In fact, we're going tomorrow!

Amazing Pizza!! – This place has the tastiest pizza I have had in LA in the last 10 years. The crust is perfect - not too thick, but thicker than other places - and is a great balance of crispy and chewy. The tomato sauce has rich flavor. I took leftover slices home and they even tasted great the next day reheated.

I have been Casa Bianca, Petrillos, Joe Peeps, Lamonicas etc.... and Tony's Bella Vista is better than all of them. This is not NY pizza, or sicilian, or Chicago style but it is DELICIOUS. The crust is not thin or thick, but somewhere in the middle, chewy on the ouside, soft on the inside. The sauce is garlicky and it's not overflowing with too much cheese that is the downfall of many pizzerias. The ambience is definitely Italian and service is friendly and prompt.

I stopped in for antipasta. Lots of meat and great for all of us carb counters. It was delicious and the small was plentiful. The ambiance is from another time and era-Sinatra and Tony Bennett sing in the background. The seats are red leather, high back booths and very dark, romantic! There are small white stringed lights that set the mood just right. Too bad it was my lunch-a glass of VINO would have hit the spot!

I'm sure there are a lot of restaurants in Southern California that serve good pizza, but I will say, the pizza from Tony's has got to be right up there with the best of them. I'm not comparing them to ""fast food"" pizza like Domino's or Pizza Hut (there is no comparison), I'm talking about the real thing! Fresh ingredients, quality cheese, hand made pizza dough, baked to perfection, umm-good! If this pizza doesn't hook you once you've tried it, you just don't like pizza. They have other tasty offerings on their menu too.
