Here for dinner- too bright but that’s a minor point. I had the spaghetti with hand rolled meatballs. Spaghetti was overdone , meatballs were so-so. My wife had the veal scallopini which was tough and gamey. Go elsewhere for Italian. The food was clearly sub-par. Service was bad. For over $600/night, I recommend take a European vacation. The rates they charge is not where it needs to be. Complete rip off! Service: Dine in

The Sagamore is a veritable institution within the Adirondacks and La Bella Vita is the main restaurant for the resort hotel. It is very large, includes a good sized bar/entrance, a very spacious interior eating area and an equally large terrace facing the interior grounds and Lake George. It is all quite spectacular. The menu is extensive with an emphasis on seafood, and most palettes should be satisfied. We only stopped by for lunch (we were not staying on site) and had the Lobster Ravioli (very good), a Crispy Chicken Sandwich (very good) and a Caesar Salad (also good). The service was very friendly and attentive, and the food was delivered quickly and hot. All in all a very pleasant experience. Enjoy!

All I can ask is What happened to the Sagamore’s elite service and fine dining? So disappointing. It is one of those experiences that you say “ oh well” we will never go to the Sagamore again. Sad. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4
