Bella’s Italian Restaurant

I’ve lived in Junction City for 20 years and had somehow never had Bella’s until tonight. I see some saying the music isn’t right for the atmosphere and my husband commented on it but to me it was coming across as having that sort of Europop sound to it. Think “On the Floor” by Jennifer Lopez sort of vibe. While unexpected, I feel like I understood what the vision was and found it fun and pleasant.

The food was also lovely. The bread does remind me of like a nice soft roll from a cafeteria but that’s not a negative for me. We got an appetizer of stuffed mushrooms and we’ll be going back just for that, they were SO good. I had the lobster ravioli and it was also lovely.

Our waitress tonight was also great. It appeared that she was the only one waiting tables and the main one running food and she managed that workload really well. She was attentive and pleasant, even while dealing with an incredibly rude table next to us. They were treating her poorly all throughout their time there, but she managed to not let that impact how she interacted with us and that is an impressive amount of keeping it together. She was pleasant anyway but that really impressed me.

Music was not right for venue. Food portions were extremely small. I ordered the pasta sampler. See pics. Bread had nothing to do with Italy.
Service was outstanding.
Food had good flavor except the lasagne had no ricotta in it and tasted like old meat in it and as a whole the restaurant smells of mold old dingy odor. Asked waitress if an Italian owns the place and it turns out NO. Then the last slap in the face is getting the final bill with an extra 3% added for credit cards. When will businesses learn! Just freaking increase your prices across the board and stop the hidden fees. It’s the cost of doing business.

We ordered catering from this restaurant for a business meeting, and it was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. The team was incredibly friendly, professional, and right on time for pickup — which made coordinating our meeting stress-free.

And the food? Amazing. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and a huge hit with everyone in the room. You can truly taste the quality and care in every dish.

Highly recommend for both catering and dining in. We’ll definitely be back!

Passing through and I can say I probably won't stop on the way back.
The server was rude and not very happy that we were bothering her by coming in to dine.
I had to slurp my empty cup to get her attention and then she huffed so loud we heard her across the restaurant because she had to get up and do her job.
The food was not that great. I ordered the cheese ravioli with meat sauce and it was very bland.

Not impressed at all with this place. Should have gone to McDonald's.

Bella’s is a fantastic spot for a family dinner. My go-to dish every time is their tortellini alla panna with sherry pink sauce—absolutely delicious!

We were seated promptly upon arrival and received attentive service. The food was very good; however, the music did not align well with the overall atmosphere of the restaurant and was frankly quite strange.

The fettuccine was way too garlicky. Had too much garlic and a lot of minced pieces of garlic gloves in pasta and cheese bread. Way too oily and overpriced for the quality of food. Shrimp was way too fishy and overcooked.

We have been going here since it was in Manhattan as well. Then when the Manhattan location closed, we followed them to JC! The food,staff, and restaurant are just as amazing! HIGHLY recommend Bella’s over anything we have around here for Italian any day!
