We had another outstanding night at Bella Cucina!!! We were recovering from a disaster of a night at a highly recommended restaurant in Pittsburgh where we spent 4 times (literally) what we spent here tonight. The food at Bella was amazing. We both ordered the Duck a l'Orange. It was prepared perfectly and the sides complimented the duck rather than being just an afterthought! We finished with the cherry cannoli, which was also remarkable. Our faith in restaurants...

Excellent experience! The service was excellent, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was excellent! Definitely made our Top Ten. The restaurant is smaller so their are people talking around you but we had no problem having our own conversation. The restaurant is very pretty and comfortable. They have a heated outdoor patio. Parking is right beside the restaurant or nearby. Very walkable town for after dinner right exploring and they are right next to a nice park. I had...

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!
