“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“

“This is hands down the BEST Italian restaurant I've ever eaten at! Everything on the menu is yummy!!“

“. Don Giovanni Port Orange is the very best of the best. The food is always amazing and exceeds expectations. The service is simply amazing letting you know that you aren’t just filling a seat, but instead you are a valued friend and customer.“

“Delicious, delicious, delicious. My wife and I had dinner on Aug. 18, 2022 to celebrate an anniversary. All we both can say is - wow! The best shrimp scampi I have ever had. And my wife’s seafood was also outstanding. And the service was impeccable. We will be back. Fabulous restaurant- Doyle & Susie Stafford, Tallahassee, Florida“

“Fantastic dinner, great environment, friendly staff.“

“Best pizza in Volusia county“

“Wife needed a night out she has a bad injury to her leg and in a wheelchair stopped by Caffe the food was excellent made her night , service was great as the food thanks will be back keep on cooking !“

“My favorite gluten free pizza in Port Orange!!“

“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.“

“Y'all need to patent the new pretzel bowl. That thing is amazing. I tried the buffalo chicken Mac -n- cheese option. First off, it's two meals. Second, the actual pretzel bowl itself is amazing, slightly sweet & salty baked perfect. The chicken/ mac & cheese filling is balanced perfect. serious, home run!“

“Great experience! The ordering was simple and the pizza had to be one of the best I have eaten. The restaurant serves halal meat, which opens a lot of options for those that prefer it. The owner and the staff were very friendly and went out the of the way to serve us. We had the pizza, wings and philly cheese steak. Loved it! The dough was perfect and the taste on point. We had it multiple times during our trip.“

“Wonderful wonderful staff! I made a mistake on my pick up order on July 16th and staff was flexible with me to let me pick up at the corrected time. I work in marketing and do a lot of lunch and learns, I will continue purchasing from this location for all of my lunch educations! They served me with a smile. I will recommend all of my friends and family to this location! Thank you all so much for working with me and I apologize again for my mistake. You all are amazing!“

“We're from Buffalo, NY, been all over the US to live. NEVER HAD A BETTER PIZZA! This place is AWESOME! We will not get pizza ANYWHERE else! ??“

“Jayde was an awesome server! Friendly and helpful. Food was amazing. Drinks were fabulous too! The saxophone added to the ambience. One of NSB best restaurants. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“Had a cheer family dinner there on Friday. Appetizers and entrees were delicious and our server Kayla, was absolutely awesome! We loved her and Bella Cucina! Thank you for accommodating all of us.“

“We had a wonderful dinner here . Thursday night. Was in town hanging out with family. The servers and ppl that greet you at the door were very nice. Asked how everything was, offered refills on our breadsticks , salad and drinks a few times . Food came out quickly and hot , my steak and my daughter's cheese pizzas came out perfectly! We felt like we were actually treated lile family! Just like their commercial!“

“Felt like we were eating dinner at a family’s house. Welcoming, fun and amazing food. Clean authentic food!“

“If you’re craving a true taste of Jersey, this spot nails it. The pizza has that perfect thin-yet-chewy crust with just the right char—foldable, flavorful, and fired up just like back home. But let’s talk about the garlic knots—absolutely unreal. Pillowy soft inside, crispy golden outside, and absolutely drenched in buttery garlic goodness. I could eat a dozen and call it a day. The chicken parm is hands down one of the best I’ve had outside the Tri-State. Juicy, breaded just right, smothered in sauce and cheese without going soggy. It’s the kind of meal that makes you go quiet after the first bite. And don’t skip the cannoli—crispy shell, creamy ricotta filling, and just the right touch of sweetness. It’s the perfect finish to a carb-lover’s dream. This place is a whole vibe—classic, comforting, and straight-up delicious.“

“The food was great. We had the fettuccine Alfredo and seafood stew. The desserts were delicious (tiramisu and torta limoncello). The cherry on top of our evening was the great service from Lauren. She was prompt, attentive and very personable and friendly. Having her take care of us moved our dining experience here up several notches!!!!“

“Super friendly and delicious and unique dishes. The Espresso martini is the Best - clean and delicious ❣️ romantic environment, friendly and attentive staff. We will be back and highly recommend👍👍“

“10+ experience. Food is exceptional. Service is the same. Beyond expectations. This is THE PLACE to eat for Italian cuisine“

“We stopped in on Friday to try out the new addition. We walked in the door and were greeted with a smile from the get go. All of the staff was wonderful and so welcoming. The bread was to die for. Seriously, the best bread I have ever had. Vittorio stopped by to chat with us and we love how passionate he was about selecting only the best ingredients. We tried a few things but will be making more trips back for sure!“

“Yummy pizza right on the corner!“

“I placed a large order for my whole family and went to pick it up, pizza was made wrong and the whole order was wrong. They remade my order and took another 45mins. One of the guys gave us a discount card and wrote his name and 50% off on it, told us to come back and get half off next time due to their mess up, obviously that was a lie. Called to order one day and they said they can't honor the card, even went down there and they won't honor the card or keep their word. It's ridiculous, the guy working says he doesn't have the managers or owners phone number to call to verify. it's ridiculous! Won't ever be going back here and do not recommend, customer service sucks!“
