Cece is the greatest server! Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming, and the food is consistently amazing. Cala Bella is one of our go-to places now- we always have a wonderful experience!

We are here while at a conference for work. 7pm reservations for 5 of us. Restaurant was very noisy. Service was great food excellent! Highly recommend the charcuterie board. Excellent!

By far one of the best experiences I have had at a restaurant. The charcuterie tray had the most wonderful tasting meats, olives, cheese and goodies you could want. The half chicken with sweet potatoes was to die for as was the lamb. I definitely recommend this place to everyone. The manager was exceptional and made sure we had a delightful experience

Very nice atmosphere and service. Pizza and meatball app excellent. Salad was very salty and oily couldnt finish. Surprised to find both Pasta dishes mushy and sauces not very flavorful. Perhaps entrees not pastas are the higher rated dishes.

We always have the greatest night here! Cece is an exceptional server and we must give a huge compliment to the kitchen staff too. Outstanding food, prepared perfectly every time! Our favorites are the lasagna w meat sauce and the stracciatella salad- SO good!

My recent experience at Cala Bella fell dramatically short of expectations.To begin, the Chicken Parmesan was a letdown. What should have been a symphony of flavors turned out to be an uninspired composition. The chicken itself was overcooked to the point of dryness, a culinary sin further compounded by a topping of cheese that was cold and hardened a stark contrast to the melt-in-your-mouth experience one anticipates.Moving on to the lamb, it's disheartening to report that it was equally lackluster. Lamb, known for its rich, distinct flavor, was presented devoid of any taste. It was as if the essence of the meat had been forgotten in the kitchen.The baked lasagna did not fare any better. A dish renowned for its comforting richness was served dry and tasteless, a far cry from the heartwarming classic it's supposed to be.Regrettably, I find myself suggesting that you're better off at a chain like Olive Garden. This was a very disappointing experience at Cala Bella.

The service, ambience and food are amazing. We went with the special which was a swordfish, perfectly cooked and paired well with the sauce and the sides. I would highly recommend this place if you're visiting or a local.

We were told that they did not have cable for us but we could eat at the bar. They did not even offer for us to have a seat at the bar and wait for a table. Our order came out wrong. Fortunately not Custer for the mistake but 3 drinks snd 2 appetizers at the bar 110$

Absolutely amazing and a great way to wrap up our trip to Shingle Creek. The pasta and lamb entrees we had were perfectly cooked. The appetizer board was huge and delicious! Everyone from the bartenders to the host to our waiter were incredible. We will be back to Cala Bella many more times to come.

Delightful surprise in this mega resort. Food was fresh, inventive, and delicious. Service was professional and on point. Only detraction from the experience was the sound collision of piped in music and equally loud player piano in the bar. Had the beet salad which was outstanding and the mussels were excellent. Nice view too.

Our server was excellent. She was friendly, attentive and caring. The food was not good at all. I was surprised to see that open table reviews were good considering how bad food was. They make their carbonara with corn which I thought might be interesting to try it but pasta was not good, the bacon was in thick chunks and not tasty at all. Steak had to be sent back and it wasn't great either.

All of the menu items we got were very good. Their sauce is delicious. We had the meatballs, Caesar salad, Chicken Parmesan, and Margherita Pizza. I would say the only disappointing item was the pizza. For some reason they used a different sauce on it and it was not as good. Other menu items were great and our waiter was outstanding.
