Bella Vista Restaurant

Bella Vista is a premium Italian restaurant on the Dnipro river embankment, known for handmade pasta, a 200+ wine collection, and a terrace with panoramic river views. Despite being one of the city's best restaurants, their online presence was limited to an Instagram page with photos and a phone number in the bio.

Reservation was phone-only — and on Friday/Saturday evenings the hostess couldn't answer calls because she was seating guests. They estimated losing 15–20 tables per week to missed calls alone. The menu existed only as a printed card — when prices changed, they reprinted 50 copies. Wine list updates required the same process. Private event inquiries came through Instagram DMs with no structured booking flow.

We designed an atmospheric, dark-themed website that captures the restaurant's Italian soul: a hero section with built-in reservation form (date, time, guests), an interactive menu organized by course with prices, dietary tags (vegetarian, spicy, chef's pick), and dish photos. The wine list features color-coded entries by type with glass/bottle pricing and sommelier recommendations. A dedicated events page showcases three venue options with capacity and pricing. A contacts page includes parking info and an embedded map — essential for a riverside location.
