Cozy tavern in a residential section of Lambertville. Pleasant attentive staff and nice selection of beers and cocktails. Pasta is good but sauce could be more plentiful on the dish and heartier.

We love Bells! The staff and food are always amazing! The portion sizes are crazy and the prices are wonderful! Their calamari is always perfectly crispy and the marinara that comes with it is perfection, though I always ask for it on the side so the calamari stays perfectly crispy! Their garlic’s bread is always perfectly toasted and comes out great. I love their marinara so of course I pair that with their tortellini for the perfect combo! Of course I have to get the half order since that is even two meals for me! My husband loves their Alfredo, rosato, and chicken parm. Everyone who works there is so wonderful and kind, from hostess to bar tenders to servers, even the runners/busers are great! Get there early or make reservations as they fill up so quick every night! Highly recommend!

Sitting at the bar as I write this. Here is what is relevant to know. The place is absolutely packed. Bartenders are definitely hustling and trying to keep pace with the crowd. Here’s the bad. Ordered soup for both my wife and me. Soup was room temperature at best. Ordered antipasto which never came. 45 minutes after ordering the bartender explained to me that my wife’s pork chop takes longer to cook than my steak. No kidding. She had no explanation as to why the antipasto never came and told us we could take it to go. Steak was bland and poorly seasoned, fries the same. Wish I ordered the burger. Unsure this review matters as I said the place is at capacity but bottom line….there are much better options.

Love Bell's Tavern in Lambertville. Tiny little Italian restaurant/bar with great food and service. Only open for dinner and I always make a reservation, it can get crowded. Great time to visit around Halloween when the whole town is decorated. Fun to walk off dinner checking out everyone's Halloween decorations.

Tried to call to make a reservation as I know the space is limited and have been coming for some time, no answer the two times I called. Figured I would try and go in without one, was met by a rude host who claimed ”we’re fully booked…it’s still Halloween weekend still ya no know” With a bad taste in our mouths already we went to leave, my daughter took a dum-dum lollipop by the door who was then met again by the same rude host “those are for customers” …we tried to be a customer. Not going back here, inn at the Hawke down the road was much better, they were friendly accommodating and had much better food.
We visited for the Poconos , during the oh so popular , Halloween based event , “the memory maker trail”. I was super excited to see a very extensive , Italian forward x, pasta based menu as the set menu . I asked for an add on dollop of ricotta cheese to the baked ziti entree. I was told they “didn’t have extra ricotta “ to spare …I suspected it was pre-plated , was told it want when I asked so I took a chance and ordered it . It came on a plate 1/2 the size of the amount of food on it and is was MUSH…not even close to Al dente , a complete and total travesty to pasta . When the server came to ask me how my food was, I told you the truth, and she was not very good at hiding her annoyance. If you don’t want the answer to the question, don’t ask.!!! I wasn’t blaming her for it, and I certainly wasn’t unkind. I was just telling her the honest answer to the question . I decided to order one of the five specials, which funny enough one of the locals hinted to us, but that would be the best thing to do, with THIRTY years experience patronizing this restaurant . My second entree was on the special menu and it was PERFECT So my best advice is to order from the special menu, skip the pasta completely until they get a chef who understands how pasta should be cooked!

Awesome little place. Always busy ~ that should tell you everything.
Great food and drinks and fairly priced.
The bar seats seem to fill up quickly and the preferred way to enjoy the tavern feel. 😊

The best baked ziti! I usually come when Lisa is on the bar. I work in the industry and it’s rare to see someone strategically attack the bar the way she does, kill it, and still maintain such a positive guest friendly attitude!
