Had confirmed reservations for December 9 and got there and they were closed. No email phone call or anything letting me know in advance. Have eaten here several times before but will never again. This was for a birthday party as well!!!

Very attentive service and nice small atmosphere, but the food.. What were they thinking with their pasta sauce? Bizarre is the only way to describe it, and not something I'd ever want to have again, Italian food for people who know nothing about Italian food.

Very good. Never been didn't know you got bread when you get there, but we got mozz sticks. (3/10) there was no cheese. flat bread (10/10). plus the salad with the meal. (10/10). But we (2F, 1M) ate it all. Plus our meal and we got 2 desserts after (10/10) . We finished it all though. 10/10 experience!!

Small restaurant with good food. Their pizza was really good and the bread was soft. The owner was friendly and enthusiastic.

Original owner sold this restaurant to a new person and it has negatively impacted it for sure. Their garlic bread used to be amazing and now it's bland and too doughy. I ordered the Chicken Bella and the chicken was very dry and over cooked! In addition our waitress gave us a meal with a chipped plate and got our orders mixed up. Overall the restaurant looks the same but the food and service has taken a hit. I wouldn't really recommend coming back here in the future!

it was a Friday night, a few minutes from Legacy Park area hotel where we stay when we visit and the Legacy Park restaurants, all of those were packed with an hour long wait. We were hungry, didn't want to wait long or spend as much, so thought we'd give Bella a try, and Wow!! This place is just a gem! Stones throw by distance from Legacy Park but not distant at all In quality of food and service. Small, intimate, delicious and great service! Started with incredible hot rolls quickly followed by very good caprese salad and soup....raves all around the table as we enjoyed the parade of dishes running past us quickly to the full tables around us. Our dishes quickly arrived and there was silence punctuated by Mmms and Yummms as we dug in: my friend and I split chicken Francais with the biggest tastiest capers we've seen in a while In white wine, meat sauce spaghetti, meatball casserole with a side of fettuccine Alfredo, and a low bill split correctly with no issues. Definitely going again to save room for dessert, but the rolls were so damn good we just couldn't! Their takeout business was brisk, the management wishing diners farewell like old family members, it was a true delight! Go! Eat! You're welcome!

Came in for date night last week and really enjoyed our experience. I had the seafood pasta and my wife the chicken parm , which were both good especially the seafood pasta. The owner was very friendly and checked up on us often. We will be back

Food was great! Huge portions. Our server (who I think is also the owner) was super nice and friendly, checking in regularly but not enough to be overbearing. It seems like he genuinely enjoys what he does which is great :) We started with the garlic flatbread (huge, by the way. Like a whole pizza sized huge), then had the gnocchi and rigatoni and really enjoyed them. Tiramisu tasted amazing but the chocolate drizzle was a little too much for me. The interior of the restaurant is really clean and nicely done, and the bathrooms are super clean. I wouldn't have expected the place to look like it does just looking at the outside of the building. Would love to come back next time I'm in the area

I just want to say that the staff was amazing! The owner Mina was so kind and attentive the entire time we were dining. He made sure that our first visit was memorable. Treated us like family the whole entire time and definitely made us feel welcomed. The food was amazing, not a single disappointment. The complimentary bread was fresh and tasty! Also the wine was great as well. Our server continuously checked on our table and made sure we were well taken care of. Overall, I highly recommend you check this place out. The customer service is out of this world and the food is amazing. 10/10 recommend
Came here early on a Friday night for an early dinner. Service was good, but the food was severely underwhelming. First off, I have to say the garlic knots/bread was very good. But the rest of the dinner was lacking. I ordered the cheese sticks as an appetizer which was just your run of the mill frozen mozzarella sticks, nothing to write home about. I ordered the veal piccata for my entree which came with a salad. I chose the house dressing which was a tomato and basil dressing. I have to say that the dressing tasted like ketchup. Couldn't really stand it so I barely touched my salad. When the entree came out, it looked pretty good. The sauce was very good, but the veal had a weird spongy texture, which I really wasn't a fan of. My friend that I was with had the chicken Parmesan which was okay, but chicken was over cooked. All in all, I probably won't be returning. I'm actually pretty shocked that this place had 4 1/2 stars. Maybe it was an off night, who knows?

Family owned Italian restaurant. Atmosphere is very nice. Friendly service. Very accommodating. Food is excellent! Fresh baked rolls are great! Nice size servings . If you can stop eating the great food you will have leftovers. Personally I found the food so good that I ate all of it! ?

I only ordered a pepperoni pizza. When I opened the box, the first thing I thought was, not the right look. The taste supported that. The pizza just didn't have the qualities a great pizza should have. Plus it was too salty. If you want good pizza, you'll do better with the national franchises or even frozen pizza.

I was craving some traditional style Italian food this evening. I looked through tons of reviews and glad I landed on Bella Italia. I ordered the Rigatoni Special with a side salad. I picked up my order and drove my 13 minute drive home and my food was still piping hot. The pink sauce was fabulous and loaded with meat and mushrooms. The meatball was also great. More meaty than bready. The meatball actually made me want to now try just a traditional spaghetti and meatball. I will certainly be back!
