Bella Vita by Labelle: A Khalifa City Italian Table with Serious Range
An Italian restaurant that has grown beyond café expectations
Bella Vita by Labelle sits in Khalifa City and carries the hospitality DNA of Labelle Chocolate, but the current food offering is much broader than a dessert-led concept. Experience Abu Dhabi describes an Italian and Mediterranean restaurant open across breakfast, lunch and afternoon dining, while the live delivery menu shows a kitchen operating with the scale of a full restaurant. Pizza, handmade-style pasta, risotto, seafood, grills, salads and substantial starters all sit alongside drinks and sweets. The atmosphere is warm rather than formal, making it the kind of place that can accommodate a family breakfast, a business lunch or a longer evening meal without changing personality.
The menu has become notably ambitious
The strongest evidence of that evolution is the current menu itself. Lobster tagliolini, seafood ravioli with bisque, risotto with red prawn carpaccio and grilled Mediterranean prawns sit alongside short-rib paccheri, veal scallopini, lamb chops and Angus rib-eye. Pizza ranges from Margherita and pepperoni to truffle mushroom, seafood pesto and burrata with veal mortadella. Even the starters show more thought than the usual all-day format: roasted octopus with chickpea cream, arancini cacio e pepe and burrata combinations appear next to classic fried calamari. It is an extensive menu, but the Italian thread remains visible in ingredients, sauces and technique.
A strong neighbourhood address with destination-level dishes
Current third-party listings place Bella Vita at Villa 1 on Theyab Bin Eissa Street and continue to show +971 52 910 7272, with service from morning until around midnight. Recent 2026 reviews, the live delivery menu, and current business listings all support the same conclusion: the Khalifa City restaurant is active and has built a substantial audience rather than existing only as a local convenience. The restaurant is not trying to compete with Abu Dhabi’s hotel fine-dining rooms, and it does not need to. Its strength is range: familiar Italian food when that is all you want, but enough premium seafood, truffle, wagyu and carefully plated dishes to make a planned dinner worthwhile. For Simply Abu Dhabi, that makes Bella Vita one of Khalifa City’s more complete independent Italian options.
