I love this small family run Italian restaurant. The Bubble Bread alone is reason to come! The rest of the food will keep you coming back. They always have fresh ingredients and the specials are always intriguing and delicious! My fave is the Braised Short Rib Ravioli. It's so good!

We love Bella Bella! We visit whenever we are in town and it’s one of our favorites. They don’t take reservations and the wait is always an hour or so, and it’s worth it. Friendly local place with delicious food!

I was with 5 other people Thursday. We had a fabulous dinner. Service was great.Vegetarian options: They have dinners that have no meat like mannacoti and eggplant. There should be no problems ordering.Parking: We were there Thursday night by 5pm. Not bad parking

The waiter was awesome, the atmosphere was good, but the food was just ok.

Old menus are of no value. Current menus with clearly stated, accurate prices are a must for ANY restaurant's listings. Diners should be able to make informed choices. Some restaurants seem embarrassed to show prices.

I have been here 4 times and today was the worst restaurant experience of my life. We arrived and were told it would be a 45 minute wait which we politely agreed to and went to the bar to fill the time. After an hour and a half we were sat - and then eventually our order was taken another 30 minutes later. once the clock hit 9:30 we realized two hours after ordering our food was excessive so we cancelled our entrees with no remorse, apology, or care. I went recommending the restaurant to a friend and now will never ever go again. the least that could have ever been done was warn us about the backed up kitchen. instead we left paying $60 for two drinks bread and soup and salad which were supposed to be included with the food we never got. Do not. go here.

Excellent food. Service was good, but I suspect the staff was overworked and therefore a bit slow on a few things. The restaurant was entirely too loud to have the most pleasant experience.Parking: The parking is probably adequate but the parking lot is extremely uneven, partially unpaved and difficult to maneuver for anyone with mobility issues.Wheelchair accessibility: There is one handicapped parking space for the restaurant which is difficult to access. One entrance is accessible and tricky to get a wheelchair from the vehicle to the ramp.

Amazing food, amazing servers, not bad wait times despite a full dining room every time I've gone. The servers keep our glasses full, take empty plates quickly, and seem very knowledgeable about the menu and daily specials. Last time we went, Max really impressed our group. I'm obsessed with the brushetta. Their salads are perfect. Every entree I've tried, I would eat again in an instant. I've never had a bad experience here. The only complaint I have is the woman who runs the host stand, I believe she's the owner. She looks at the customers like she hates them and is not pleasant to interact with at all. Luckily, we're usually seated within 5 minutes or so.

We tried this because a local said it was the best Italian in town. The bubble bread was just cheese toast made with French bread. It had barely any flavor. The cannelloni was so bland I asked for a cup of marinara. The spaghetti was okay. Our caeser salad & gnocchi soup were good. Overall, it was just okay. Definitely won't go back when we return to Tallahassee.
