La Bella Vita — Local services in Cleveland

I live in Columbus and recently went to Cleveland. I was told by some of my friends that I had to go to a fabulous store there. I did so and had a wonderful experience. Upon entering LABellaVita, I was greeted within seconds by two very friendly women who work there. Knowing it was my first time there, they showed me around and educated me about the different lines of merchandise. I then met Barb, the owner, who proceeded to show me the Italian pieces and jewelry she had recently purchased on her trip to Italy.

I loved the store, loved the merchandise, as well as the employees and owner. I purchased two gifts which were wrapped beautifully and one was shipped out of state. I haven’t had so much fun shopping at a store in a very long time and can’t wait to go back whenever I go...

Let me start by making it clear that I am in no way related to this shop or any employee or owner, despite my last name matching the name of this business. I happened to be in Cleveland's Little Italy for the first time, walking around and visiting a few shops. Of course, when I saw a shop with my own last name as part of the shop's name, I couldn't help myself and had to check the place out. What an amazing store. So many beautiful items. If you are looking for a unique gift for someone, this is the place to go! Thank you, Pete, for your kindness when you learned the reason for my visit...

Love Pete and his shop. We were supposed to be in Italy this week but medical issues diverted us to Cleveland Clinic. We wandered into Little Italy 🇮🇹 so we could get a taste of our trip. We stumbled upon La Bella Vita and what a joy. I love Italian Ceramic and Pete was a very gracious “Italian”. We enjoyed his travel stories throughout Italy which makes you appreciate the ceramic even more. He even shared a recipe and a toast. Loved everything about this gem. Please visit. You will not be disappointed. I think I’ll do some Christmas...
