La Bella Ristorante offers solid and decently priced food in a cozy atmosphere with an Adirondack feel. The service is attentive and friendly, creating a pleasant dining experience that feels like a wonderful family-style place. The menu features dishes such as chicken piccata, shrimp scampi, and lasagna, all made with tender ingredients and flavorful combinations. Recent reviews highlight the amazing calamari and the excellent chicken Parm, with customers raving about the fresh sea scallops and the incredible stuffed flounder. The restaurant is described as a nice little cute space, perfect for a quiet meal, and guests have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, comparing it to experiences in Venice and Florence.
Specials like shrimp cooked with sautéed vegetables and a chicken dish bathed in a cognac marinara sauce have also impressed diners. Desserts like Tira mi su and homemade lemon cake have received high praise for their rich flavors and textures. While some dishes may have minor disappointments, such as the chicken parmesan being a little greasy and hard to cut, overall, La Bella Ristorante is a great find that transforms a cold winter evening into a delightful dining experience. The rib eye has also been noted as done perfectly, with a very reasonable price for the generous portions.
