What an incredible establishment. Friendly staff, great food and a clean atmosphere. I live in the city, but occasionally work in the area for my company. I've stopped by this place a few times and loved. Unfortunately, I think they closed down as I tried stopping in a few times 6-7pm and they were closed. So sad, location did suck and hope they find a better a location

My husband and I love this place and often grab a high table in the bar. All the pasta is homemade. My favorite is their lasagna. They give you a huge portion. I've tried several fish specials and they have all been delicious. I've had nothing but excellent friendly service. Give this restaurant a try!

Our party of four dined here for the first time on the evening of Saturday, December 10, 2022. I admit I came with expectations: with an explicitly Italian name I thought it would be along the lines of a cozy trattoria, but So' Bella Cucina is in fact a big open space with four large flat screen TVs all tuned to the same sports event (I don't know which; I'm not a sports fan) and incongruously: country music piped through the sound system. The vibe wasn't so much Italian restaurant as generic sports bar.The staff came across as inexperienced, from the young host who greeted us as we entered and then immediately walked away without explanation (apparently she was looking for a table) to our young server who was overly attentive for the first half hour and then all but abandoned us for the rest of the evening. I had the cavatelli with pesto and grilled chicken and a Caesar side salad. The cavatelli was adequate, but nothing to celebrate, while the Caesar was so lacking in appeal (just romaine, croutons, and a few parmesan shavings with a small amount of dressing) it brought to mind the Frye Festival debacle. The deserts were unremarkable and might have tasted better if it hadn't taken 20 minutes for them to appear followed immediately by our server offering to bring the check. I'm in no hurry to return.

Wanted to go to this place for a while we finally got there last night and was so disappointing. The service was so slow our waitress is great there’s not an issue with her but it took forever to get our food people who walked in 15 minutes after us were served long before we were then my dish came out and it was burnt. It was the worst food I’ve had in many many years. I thought about I’ll go back and try it again maybe it was a bad night but I decided after we talked to a couple people as we were leaving they have the same experience. You cannot burn food make people wait a long time and charge those kind of prices. Again the waitress was very accommodating I think she was embarrassed and she probably hears it a lot

This is an awesome place. Some of the best Italian food I've had outside of Italy and New Jersey. Was there with my wife and mother, we all had three different dishes which where all excellent. Our waiter Joe was awesome in terms of friendliness, answering questions, making sure we got what we really wanted. This is a hidden gem in the Glen!

Hello , Our experience here was not very pleasant . First we where seated and greeted by a very rude waitress. I ordered a cappuccino and I some how accidentally said espresso as she was walking away with our order . She seemed to be extremely comfortable with my 7 year old child and proceed to tell my child "YOUR MOM IS CRAZY SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SHE ORDERED THEN STARTED LAUGHING AND TELLING MY CHILD WHO THEN BECAME EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AS SHE PROCEED TO CONTINUE TO BASICALLY MAKE FUN OF HIS MOTHER TO HIM . She then walked away and got our drinks and continued to just say obnoxious rude comments . By this time my son kept asking me to leave as I tried to make it seem like I was unbothered . The food was over priced and nothing special . Overall the experience was unpleasant.

Big place with nice staff. Amazing wine happy special and the appetizers are delish. I ordered the bruschetta, it had great flavor and came out quickly. For an entree I ordered the ravioli and it came out quickly and had a great balance in flavors. I will definitely be coming back!

I really enjoyed our dining here. For starter, my huaband and i ordered crab cake and grilled calamari. Both were good, had better crab cakes in the past but I still enjoyed it. I ordered Vodka sauce with Garganelli while my husband ordered Bolognese with Rigatoni. Both were really delectable especially the vodka sauce, it was creamy and pasta al dente. Any pasta order come with garlic bread. They also have a list of cocktail drinks. If you like lemony cocktail, I recommend Limoncello Martini. If you are up for a fruity drink, you will enjoy the Amaretto Stone Sour. For 2 people dine in, cost was about $150 (with cocktails and drinks)

Very good lasagna, chopped salad and Tera tiramisu attentive service, and a nice patio Make a great Italian restaurant experience
Looked forward to writing this review. That's because the Atlantic Salmon dinner followed by a scoop of vanilla Gelato with shot of hot espresso were... nothing short of amazing. This delicious dessert is called Affogato. Give it a try. Your taste buds will thank you. And, oh yes, lemme not forget: My fiance and I were blown away by the first-class service we received from the moment we arrived and throughout our dining experience.

Have been there twice in the last six months for after funeral get together. Our service was amazing. Food is excellent. We rented out the whole interior. Is a great place for a get together. Highly recommend.

It took an hour for them to bring two simple pasta orders to our table, at an off-peak time (2pm). They also didn't bring the garlic bread for another 10 minutes after that. It all tasted fine, but not worth that wait or the prices, which were a little on the higher side. (25 each). We won't be returning. :(
