12 Best Italian Restaurants in New Smyrna Beach

“last night was our 17th wedding anniversary and we chose Bella Valentino’s for dinner. They took reservations which is a plus and when we were running late, they said don’t rush and we will change it to 7 see you when you get here. we didn’t feel like we upset anyone and we felt very welcomed. We got there and immediately was greeted by Paula (who we found out was one of the owners) and she told us all about the place and the special features that her husband and staff would be creating tonite. Once we sat we were not only greeted by the server who took our drink order but brought fresh bread and bruschetta to the table. (soo good by the way) The wine was terrific and let me tell you what else was. The shrimp 🦐 appetizer, the Pear pasta purses and the escargot. (There was four of us, relax lol) But then came our entrees. I had a taste of everyone’s and they were all amazing but mine was the best. I had the eggplant 🍆 and shrimp 🍤 parmigian. Holy smokes it was yummy!!! We ended up hanging out there for a total of 3 hours, I mean we literally closed the place down but not before dessert!! We had tiramisu, and two others I can’t remember but what I do remember is that their 80 plus year old mom makes all the desserts and there were like 10 or so options. Yum yum yum and more yum. We ended the evening with espressos and more wine 🍷. We had more amazing conversation with Paula and the staff (her family) and then we finally made our way to the car. Long story short we will be back time and again! Amazing place for dinner if you are looking for great food, romantic and cozy atmosphere with the friendliest staff ever‼️ I have never been treated so well at a restaurant before and if there was a 6th star to give I would give them six because it was really that good. So thank you Paula and everyone at Bella Valentino’s for making our 17th wedding anniversary a memorable one! -Albert Amalfitano“

“We went to just have some apps to get out of the house. We have been before. The last time we had pot roast. It is amazing and melts in your mouth the meat was so tender. I love Caprese and the last time we were in it was the sliced mozzarella and beefsteak tomatoes. So, I ordered it again, however it came with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls. I do not like cherry tomatoes and explained to Carl. I have to say I was so impressed he went above and beyond and found what I liked and made a new caprese for me with beefsteak tomato. We also had fried cheese sticks as well. Going above and beyond will always keep me coming back. The only con is that we enjoy sitting in the bar area which is really loud on the nights they have music. We could sit in the other area but it just does not have the same feeling. The owner Travis has done an amazing job.“

“This is the greatest place I’ve ever been! Came highly recommended. Birthday dinner. Pulled up, it was packed. Seated in less than 20 minutes. Our appetizers came out quickly. The”garlic” and bread…. Omg! Dinner was out of this world!! 32oz rib eye! Wow! Cooked to perfection! The decor is spectacular, plants, garlic hanging from the ceiling too much to mention. All staff very friendly and professional! Thank you to “Lucky” our server! Very knowledgeable and packed our “to go” carefully for our bike ride back to Satellite Beach. Definitely our new found favorite place!! Be back soon!“
