Nothing beats the comfort and quality of Bella Monica food! I first dined here in college when I was looking for some eggplant parmesan - since that day 20 years later it’s still my favorite Italian restaurant in Raleigh! Btw their eggplant parmesan uses in house ROASTED eggplant not fried and I cannot explain how delicious it is. I’ve likely tried everything on the menu by this point and not once have I been disappointed.
Really great food and service. Manzo pizza is our favorite but everything on the menu has been great. Nice place with great service lunch or dinner.
Service and food were fabulous! The outdoor seating on the side (not out front) was quite loud from large trucks passing by, and also the car wash from the nearby gas station was quite loud.
