Bar Harbor has a wide array of wonderful restaurants for your dining pleasure. Whether you're in the mood for lobster, seafood, pasta, homemade desserts, breakfast, or any other favorites, there's sure to be a home cooked meal here that you'll savor and enjoy. Or if you just want a few cocktails to enjoy over long talks of your vacation, the town has quaint pubs and breweries. The dining experience here in Bar Harbor is unique…one you'll be sure to tell all of your friends about back home.

With so much to see and do, Bar Harbor is guaranteed to give you quite the appetite! Luckily, a range of restaurants to fit every taste and pocketbook dot the town. Of course, seafood is at the top of the menu in many establishments, with the omnipotent lobster at the head of the tide. With the fishing fleet often landing your entree at the dock that day, you would be hard pressed to find fresher seafood anywhere than on the Maine coast. Bar Harbor restaurants also offer world cuisine, family eating, fine dining, casual elegance, and health conscious fare, among many other options. There are also places to grab a bite on the run, the makings of a picnic, or eat alfresco under Maine's warm sun. As the famous Downeast restaurant sign reads; "Come on in and eat or we'll both starve!"

With earthy tones, copper pots, hand-crafted Italian mosaics and
photos of the Italian countryside, La Bella Vita builds on the proud
traditions of the Italian trattoria. The location and spectacular harbor views bring back many memories and are reminiscent of the tiny harbor towns and villages that I journeyed through along the Italian coast. An authentic wood fired brick oven casts a warm glow over the Enoteca (Italian wine bar). A perfect place to gather with family and friends over a robust glass of wine and breath in the heavenly aromas of flatbread pizza, neonati (antipasti) and small tapas style dishes.
Service is engaging and generous here ñ the perfect place to
surround yourself with the warmth of family and friends and the comfort of good food. You donít have to live in Italy to live like an Italian. Just experience La Bella Vita and youíll enjoy the passion for the good life.
