“Great food perfect place for a family reunion“

“We had a wonderful small family reunion in a private room last night! Staff was courteous, joyful and perfectly attentive! Very refreshing. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!“

“The pizza is fantastic! I rank it right up with the big 3 in New Haven. So good that I would have to sit down and compare it directly to let's say Pepe's to determine which is better. It's inside a fantastic, and quite large sportsy bar with plenty of room for families.
Service was sub par, the young lady at the front was watching something on her phone and did not even acknowledge our presence. Thankfully the young man who was cooking came over and took our order.
If this was my place, she would be fired. But it's not, so I won't hurt their rating due to her poor judgement.
Again pizza is better than anything within several towns.
It's a Friday evening dinner time and this place is steady but not crowded.“

“First time trying today. wonderful crust and the sauce is very good. Also has great staff. Highly recommend!“

“My wife, son, and I decided to try out Bella’s Ristorante for our first time this evening for dinner. It was absolutely an excellent experience with outstanding food. We started out with the calamari appetizer with marinara sauce. The calamari was very fresh and done to perfection. We also tried out their pasta fagioli soup. It was homemade and tasted just like Grandma used to make it! I asked the owner if the chef could prepare Shrimp Scampi. It was a very generous portion, and I told the owner that it was the best that I ever had. The broth was delicious! My wife absolutely enjoyed her chicken piccata. She was very pleased with the tenderness of the chicken and how it was prepared. My son ordered the “Chicken and Shrimp” special. He related that it was excellent. To finish our meal, we had tiramisu which we all really enjoyed.
This was our first time eating at Bella’s, and we all really enjoyed our meals. The food and service are exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant.

“Stuffed mushrooms are to die for piazza also chicken wings a bit overcooked sauce was great tho also our driver was so concerned that something had happened to our order (he had gone over some speed bumps) that he would not leave until we checked the order we love this place and would definitely order again“

“Sfogliatelle! They offer it frozen! Get it, pop it in your air fryer until golden brown and enjoy feeling like you are in heaven. It’s filled fully with great quality cheese and orange peel. It’s frozen so you can keep it on hand and feel free to lie to your friends that you made it. Best enjoyed alone with a cup of coffee on a quiet morning.“

“Last week my family and i had dinner at Flair which is one of our favorite restaurants and Hector the owner told us his family bought Fratellis. We said we would come in this week snd try out the new restaurant. We had told Hector the we loved clams casino and he remembered and even though they were not on the menu he brought some to us from Flair. They were excellent. We also had the best chicken dish ever which was called chicken fratellis. It was very obvious that Hector and his family bent over backwards to ensure our experience was amazing and.......it was. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have a fabulous meal and feel that you are appreciated. Thank again“

“First time experience the other day; was seated promptly and tended to immediately, despite the restaurant being crowded. Food and drinks were served quickly, and everything in my order was hot and delicious. Highly recommended.“

“Love this place, perfect lunch spot while working on the road. The steak sandwich.It is quite different from most places. This is not shaved steak, but cut very thinly. They roast your own peppers, which are excellent. There veal cutlet is also very good. They offer hot plates throughout the week that changes every day. It's a very authentic italian deli“
