"Meet you anytime you want, at our Italian Restaurant"
From the fresh bread and olive oil to start. To the homemade mozzarella sticks to the delicious raviolis, pasta, and wine selection
It may not be the biggest but the quality of food & the atmosphere, La Bella Via is the definition of a true Italian Restaurant.

I can’t speak about the pizza or sandwiches. We both ordered a full dinner, maybe that was our mistake?
First time here, noticed place could be much cleaner from floor to tables to utensils. Sat us at a table with crumbs everywhere? No one can see ?
Plate had old food residue too.
Employees setting table don’t notice? Our waitress was very pleasant and busy.
Hopefully she will move on to a good restaurant? She deserves better.
Outside appearance needs attention, weeds need be gone. Sometimes outside presentation tells the story.
Salad was very fresh and good. Potatoes and vegetables were done nicely, good.
Bread and dipping oil mix good.
But the main entrees, poor quality, pasta way overdone, mush, chicken very bland and prosciutto was thick and rubbery.
Sauce on both dishes were ok.
Hardly any cheese or spinach.
It was like a regular diner who does not regularly serve Italian, trying to make It . Some diners are really good though which would be better than this.
Definitely a miss and won’t go back. Waste of money.

Ordered pick up here with chicken fettuccine alfredo, chicken francese, a cold sub and a chicken wrap. Both pasta dishes tasted like nothing. The chicken looked and tasted like it was boiled, it had no color at all. Both pastas also tasted like nothing. We had to improvise sauces for both of them. The cold sub was pretty all bread. And the wrap was maybe the only okay thing out of the order. Even the bread they give to go with entrees didn’t seem fully baked and was just thrown in there. Will definitely not be ordering here again.

Margherita pizza was just OK. Wouldn't get it again. I'd go back and try something else but for now I'm not blown away.

This place been here since 1979 so that in itself speaks volumes. It's sort off the beaten path but worth the trip. I loved the thin crust pizza it was perfectly done in a woodburning oven. Nice flavor of sauce. Take out is at a convenient rear window. You can see in the kitchen which looked very clean. Great friendly service. I will be returning to try other items on the menu.

Food was great. Shrimp and scallops pasta was awesome. Expresso Martini was the bomb. Portion sizes were huge.
Great atmosphere. This was suggested by a good friend. We had an amazing time and will be back again soon.
