The food is fantastic! The ravioli and ve and the sauce are great. The mussels are always fresh and done just right. Don't forget the garlic bread, it is made with big pieces of real garlic and nice and crusty!!

My cousin took me out here for my birthday and we didn't have a reservation, but I bet their back room is nice. I was seated quickly and service was prompt. I thought about getting the aglio e olio with a side of sausage, but ended up getting the broccoli rabe and sausage pasta~it seemed a little water logged to me, but my cousin says broccoli rabe has a lot of moisture. His penne vodka looked great.
Other customers ordered pizza and it looked and smelled good.

Consistently great food. Owner is warm and welcoming. Always checks in with customers to ensure his high standards of quality food preparation have been met. Huge portions. Best Italian Wedding Soup ever! Especially crowded on Saturdays, but quaint and comfortable atmosphere. Has a liquor license. You'll be glad you went.

Very disappointed. This is the first time I've ordered from them, and it was expensive. The soup was cold, the pasta was completely unpleasant, and had no flavor and color . The only thing I thought was edible was the bread. I wouldn't recommend it at all. Even my dog refuses to eat 😩
I hate to say but this pizza was the worse pizza I’ve ever eaten. It looked old a ragu sauce taste the crust isn’t good. It also lacked seasoning.

$70+ on watered down pasta, small platters, no flavor, the chicken was rubbery. I’ve had better pasta from dominoes. Very disappointing experience and overpriced for the quality and quantity of food served. Having had better microwaveable meals compared to this food is ridiculous. I wish I was being picky or extra, but everyone I ordered food for from here was unsatisfied and we needed up having to get dinner elsewhere when more than half the group couldn’t finish their food. Something in that kitchen really needs to change, I hope others have a better experience if they go, but I won’t be returning to this restaurant. Waste of money.

La Bella Via is one of our regular dining spots. The food is consistently well prepared, and the service is always well timed. Their eggplant dishes are top-notch. Eggplant is my one of my personal gauges of an Italian restaurant’s quality. Their eggplant dishes, be it Parmesan or rollatini, are spot on, and the eggplant is never greasy or mushy. Many restaurants fall short with these dishes.

Such good food, fair prices. Brick oven pizza, large burgers, dinner rolls, extensive menu that will take more visits to try everything. Super friendly wait staff.

I had the penne vodka pizza. I enjoyed it but nothing to rave about. The staff were very nice but service was a bit slow. Prices seemed fair. Nice local place that just missed the mark.

My boyfriend and I go to Bethlehem, PA every Tuesday for a GriefShare meeting after losing our daughter. Since they closed the U-turns on 22, we’ve had to take Main Street home and go the back way. We’ve always passed by this place, and have wanted to try. On our way home this evening, I looked at the site to make sure they were open, and called to place a small pizza order. Call was placed at 8:32p. A man answered and said La Bella Via, and I said I would like to place a pick up order. He then proceeded to tell me they were closed. I told him the website said 9p, and he said No Maam, we close at 8:30p. Needless to say, at 8:40p as we drove by, you could see people sitting at tables in the front of the place, with multiple cars parked in the front and the back. Hopefully the owner will see this and know that his employees didn’t want to make a small pizza order, as it was ‘almost’ closing time. Sorry to say that we didn’t get to try this place, and we won’t be trying it in the future.
Edit: I just checked the website and it does say last order will be taken at 8:30p. Don’t lie to customers and say you are closed. Just say last order was at 8:30p, and I wouldn’t have had to write a 1 star review.
