Bella Vista A Mare - Jacksonville Beach

We cannot say anything negative about this place and the people who operate it. The food is amazing, we have had the privilege to taste everything on the menu including desserts and coffee!! Not only are they amazing chefs, but they are also amazing humans who contribute to the youth in our community. They partner with Nease High School to feed the football team before their games with amazing healthy food they need to fuel up for continuous victories! These are the people in our county whom we should be supporting! Thank you Chef Giovanni and Alysha as well as your staff (Maren and Company ❤️) you go above and beyond for us and we see you, we appreciate you and we THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! 🏈🐾🐆💚💛💚💛

My wife and I had to make a run to Jacksonville this weekend and found this little gem. To start, the bread they give you is amazing. A little crunch on the outside but as tender and fresh on the inside. We ordered the bruschetta for appetizers, you can really mess this up. It was good and fresh with a nice drizzle of sweet vinaigrette. For the main, I ordered the chicken parmigiana vodka sauce. As you can see way more than I can eat and the flavor was spot on. My wife ordered the pasta in the cheese bowl (I wish I remembered the name), this was awesome. The parmigiana added a nice deeper cheese flavor. For desert, I got the tiramisu and she got the almond cake. As you can see, we did not wait to dig in before I actually got the photo. The service and food were amazing. The owner even popped in to see how we were. This will definitely be a return for me.

Julianna was great and efficient. Very friendly. Shout out to Rocco, he recommended the Martini Porkchop from Tik tok. We traveled from Lexington Ky for vacation in St Augustine Beach. Looked on google for best reviews for Italian restaurants and Rocco popped up on tik tok. Definitely coming back.
