We just discovered a hidden gem here. It's got a very casual feel but the food is no joke. I had lobster ravioli and it was fantastic and the breadsticks that they serve with every meal are hot and tasty. They obviously have great pizza pies, although I haven't had one yet but they have a real variety of all kinds of Italian foods. My wife had a Stromboli and she loved it. She liked the fact that it wasn't real heavy on bread and it was nice and crispy with a great marinara sauce for dipping. Of course, the most important thing is the service and Marta did not disappoint. She knows the foods and is one of the nicest waitresses ever. She will take good care of you, I promise. Thank you so much Marta!

Wife and I just discovered this restaurant. yesterday we stopped for lunch and had a pizza and today we ordered dinner. Wife had the eggplant parmm sub and I had the egg plant rollatini. Let me just say if I could leave my credit card number on file there, it would be great. Pizza yesterday was meat lovers and it was fabulous. Today’s egg plant dishes were also very good! Needless to say we will either be there for eat in again or picking up dinner before I come home after work. Well done guys, can’t wait to try more off the menu!

I had lunch at Bella Italia today. I was hesitant to eat at this restaurant again, after two previous unsatisfying visits. The last two times, I ordered chicken parmesan. Both times, the chicken was lukewarm to ice cold in places and the pasta was cold, sitting in a pool of water, and topped with a watery tasteless red sauce. A friend asked me to give the restaurant another chance. Today, I ordered the lunch special of a side Bella salad and slice of pepperoni pizza. The Bella salad was supposed to be spring mix, but was pieces from the core of a head of iceberg lettuce. The pizza was barely lukewarm with no sauce and the cheese was overcooked and dried out. I asked the waitress to remove the food, as it was inedible. The waitress was very professional and I was not charged for my meal. I will not be dining at this restaurant again. I gave them three chances and they failed to deliver edible food each time.

The shrimp scampi was (6) very small shrimp over a load of linguini. The sauce was tasteless. Waitstaff was pleasant.

Food is fine been eating their food for 15 years. Whoever the new manager is gave the worst customer service. Got the order wrong and blamed us. He was arrogant and accusatory. Ya know what, the food is not that great to withstand lousy rude customer service. I am more than happy to eat somewhere else. What we know is that they don’t care about customers or they would have rectified the situation. If you want Terrible customer service keep on ordering. As for me I would rather be treated with some respect Also lots of really bad reviews here. Hmmm they might want to look at that

I’ve been to this place a number of times preferably lunch. For the money the lunch special is worth the drive. The thin crust pizza is likely the best in Raleigh. Give this a try!

I would maybe only recommend this place for a pie to-go? When it comes to other dishes, pastas, etc, BIG miss and overly expensive for the food quality. Additionally, the waitress kept disappearing and would forget something every single time she came back. We saw this happen to the table next to us as well. Try Slice of NY for great pizza tbh

Food is GREAT! I tried for the 1st time, staff was helpful and kind.
Found this little gem on a whim. Food was absolutely dish. Our server, Addy, was especially helpful and sweet. Can’t wait to come back.

Unfortunately just not as good as it used to be and the prices keep rising. Recipes have been changed. Just not the same, we’ve tried several times to give benefit of the doubt but tonight with brown lettuce and burnt chicken we are done trying.

Solid food. Pizza is tasty. Pasta is also worth getting. Salads are fresh, maybe slightly too small for price. But good. Sauces are also worth a try
Disappointing. Ordered lasagna, calamari and tiramisu to go. Lasagna was good but the calamari was cold. Salad was brown—couldn’t eat it. Tiramisu was really small—looked like a leftover. Too far to come back and disappointing for $50 (with tip). 😞
