Just discovered this great little mom and pop Italian restaurant - what hidden gem! My hubby and I shared a Caesar Salad, the Chicken Parmesan entree (best we've had), and a giant garlic knot. We had to take half of the entree home so we had room to try the amazing zeppoli (had to take half of those home too.) Everything is made to order with TLC, and everyone was so friendly, too! We will definitely be back!

Great 5 STAR establishment!
Food ...Service & Atmosphere was perfect. I had steak, my wife had seafood, all cooked to perfection.
Scallops as appetizer and side salads.
Absolutely delicious!
My wife took photos..I will post later.

We called ahead for a reservation. Yesterday Bella introduced a new menu and a crowd was expected. Bella was busy but there were plenty of empty tables. We were immediately seated and bread and oil appeared with menus. After spending a few minutes with the menu we found we were given old menus....Duh.
So we looked at the new menu. To be honest, I preferred the old. There was too much chicken on the new.
We ordered and enjoyed the time looking the place over....
