“Over the years, Bella Milano has been a favorite restaurant for me and my wife. We love the food, service and atmosphere. I have also done dozens of business seminars there and utilized their catering. My wife recently celebrated her birthday, and she was craving Bella Milano's Lasagna. Our visit started well as our reservation was on time and we were waited on by a friendly waitress in a timely manner. Our appetizers came out quickly also. However, there was a much longer than normal delay in our entrees coming out. The waitress did stop by to apologize for our wait twice which we appreciated, but the wait was becoming an issue. A gentleman whom we later found out was Tom the owner, stopped by to apologize and then gave us free appetizer cards, comped a portion of our bill and even included desserts. He was very friendly, but more importantly, very sincere in wanting us to leave happy. He let us know that our food would be out in a minute. We were really impressed and it felt great to be appreciated by the owner and his commitment to giving us a great dining experience. Well, Tom came back a minute later and told us "You can't make this up, but when they were taking your lasagna out of the oven it fell on the floor". I can only imagine what was going through his mind as he came back to tell us this news! He said it would take 20+ minutes for another, which really didn't sit well with us at this point. The worst part was that was what my wife really wanted for her birthday dinner. Tom immediately asked my wife if there was anything else he could make for her quickly and at no cost to us, but that he would make a new lasagna for her to take home as well. I simply can't say how impressed we were with Tom's dedication and sincerity to turn a potentially very negative experience into a positive one. There are a lot of restaurants we can go to, and thanks to Tom's efforts, Bella Milano will remain one of our favorites! If you want to go to a restaurant where you know your business is actually appreciated, think Bella Milano's!“

“I usually stop in every other Friday, quiet as it's kept, the best burgers and fish in the neighborhood. the new manager Misty is what I call a people's person. misty will ensure your experience is pleasurable, her sole goal is to ensure you return to their establishment, again. For me, my kind of business, more importantly, 3 minutes from my house. Hell yeah. lastly I recommend this place of business for food and drinks. Campy“

“It all looks great, the vibes, the food, the service, the employees. Looks very welcoming and affordable. I think it's going to be 5 stars if you can read a book by the cover. Keep looking forward to coming here. And, I'm excited. To come by myself or with my husband. Can't wait. I'm excited just by the thought of what a wonderful time I'm going to have here. Excited to try the whole menu eventually. Very welcoming just by the looks from Google maps. Just want to drink coke, and try the food. Love a smash burger. And, I bet that grill is seasoned like a cast iron skillet.“

“Haven't been here in over 20 years. Still a great place, cold drinks, great wings, friendly owner and staff. Place was pretty busy and service was quick. And although, I knew not 1 person in there the friendliness and vibe was great. Highly recommend Lyles. Keep up the vibe, great place.“

“Cool little bar. Decent priced drinks. Smells like my grandma's house lol. The have large bowls of Ohio chips! The bowls are pretty large so I would check for bacteria if you are squeamish. I'm not so I enjoyed the snacks. My friends not so much. But friendly staff and great drinks. Will be back when I'm in the area. I would say a middle aged is the typical crowd no crazy music or drama. Plenty of parking.“

“What a gem! Best dive bar in a cornfield I’ve ever been too. Never heard of the place and randomly wandered in. Bobby and Gary were skeptical, but as always, I prevail with finding the right spot and that right time. Proper 12 a following, darts, small but welcoming. If you see Bobby and Gary shooting darts there and sipping some whiskey, be sure to tell them that I said “I told you so!”“

“Wife and I stopped by while doing our own little bar hop visiting Belleville. First 2 places we visited we weren't impressed with. Saw Demos while looking for other options. Walked in and immediately felt a very welcoming vibe! The bartender (Sam) was great, and she overheard we were hungry for a pizza. She came over and gave us several recommendations, and we ended up going with her personal favorite (Bennie's). Sam, it was really good!!! Thanks for helping out a couple of strangers!! We will be back!!“
