This is my first time being here because my daughter goes to Florida State. She suggested this place and was told about this place from two of her friends. The food here is amazing. I had to tuxedo striped lobster ravioli, and this dish was so delightful. I wish I could take it home and eat it five days a week thank you for this enjoyable experience in every time I come to visit my daughter in Tallahassee. I will be making a stop here.

We tried Bella Bella for the first time and let me just say I’ll definitely drive from Panama City to eat here again. The food was amazing but the service was even more outstanding!

I absolutely love Bella Bella! The food is always seasoned to perfection and the servers and staff are always very pleasant and professional. I love seeing the owner always there on busy nights to help with the crowd. Mitch was our server recently and he was top tier. And the veggie lasagna and bubble bread was 20/10! Can’t wait to go back!

I had a wonderful time. The food was excellent. The vibe was fun and cozy. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. This was my first time. I will be back?
I'm curious how a nice Restuarant doesn't have a way to make reservations? This is the 21st century. Hard to make plans when no one answers the phone until they're open, which is too late to find out they're full or have an event. Planning a nice dinner with someone really gets ruined when you show up at the restaurant and it's a 1-hour wait

This was a locals recommendation, we were on a short trip and looking for Italian food. They keep busy, main bar was full, but they also have a second smaller bar on the left side or the main dining. Bartender recommends The Saturn drink and it was really good! Our reservation had a 30-minute wait, but we ended up cancelling and had 2 orders of the famous Bubble Bread - toasted soft bread with cheese and marinara sauce- which was really good! Bartender told us he didn’t serve dinner at the bar, but we made the best of it adding more bread, a Bruschetta and 🍷 . The menu is simple and not a ton of choices, but all freshly made.

The well-meaning local next to me at the bar told me I could have dinner menu items at the bar, so I canceled my spot in line which was a 30-minute wait tonight. Turns out he was wrong, so we just doubled down on bubble bread.... I think it's the best thing that has ever entered my mouth. 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
While in from out of town this was a great recommendation. Good food and nice atmosphere

Kind and helpful staff. It was a bit tricky ordering from the private back room, easier to go around to the front bar area near the seating tables. Also, no food allowed in the back room.

It was my first time at Bella Bella. I had a very enjoyable experience. Our server Mitch was very professional and attentive. My water was always full and so was my wine glass. Additionally our food came out hot and delightful. I am looking forward to trying the bubble bread next time I go.

Never in my life have I been treated the way we were treated this evening. I attended a dinner our coach coordinated for our travel ball team. We received a text to meet at the patio, so that’s exactly where we went. We were told the waiter was aware of the big party.
When we got to the patio, it started raining, so we asked to have a table moved and that’s when everything went downhill. Both waitresses (I don’t know their names) and the owner were incredibly rude. At the time, I didn’t realize she was the owner, but her attitude toward me was shocking. We simply asked to move a table out of the rain, and she refused. I then asked if we could switch to a different table once the people sitting there left. Again, she was short and rude and said “NO.” She claimed they had a waiting list and were busy, but there was no reason to speak to us that way.
Later, she came outside, and it felt like she was confronting me. She asked if I was the person who had called earlier requesting a private room I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. One of the moms even stepped in and asked the owner if we needed to leave, because at that point it was clear they didn’t want to serve us.
It seems there was miscommunication from the beginning, whether from the waiter or whoever initially gave the restaurant the party size. But regardless, the owner could have handled everything so differently. I’m still in shock that this is how the owner spoke to us.
