As I was driving back from Houston yesterday evening, I started to get a craving for some good Italian food. That’s when I remembered multiple people recommending Bella Italian Cafe Restaurant in Tyler, although I would consider it Flint🤷🏼♂️. I also recall many people talking about one dish in particular. The Lobster Ravioli😍
I arrived and was greeted instantly by a sweet young lady. She took me over to my table and within minutes, another waitress arrived to get my drink order. She was also very kind.
I decided to look over the menu, although I already knew what I wanted. I’m glad I did because I saw an appetizer that I absolutely had to have. It was the Shrimp Cognac (5 jumbo shrimp sauteed in a cognac cream sauce). This ended up being my favorite dish.
Shortly after placing my order, the waitress brought out some warm bread. I believe it had some garlic butter on top. It was delicious. Before I could finish the bread, my appetizer arrived.
The shrimp themselves were perfectly cooked. The sauce, although a bit on the salty side, was full of flavor!!! I used my remaining bread to clean the plate lol.
By this time, I was damn near full, but I’m not a quitter. The Lobster Ravioli showed up in all its glory. I dove right in. The ravioli was cooked to perfection, as well as the the lobster itself, which I feel like they did not skimp on at all. The white wine sauce was very rich and creamy and the fresh tomatoes and basil really brought it all together.
Just when I thought I couldn’t go on, the Cannoli showed up🤌🏼. I took one bite and called it. It was incredible by the way.
I highly recommend Bella’s if you’re looking for some great Italian cuisine at a reasonable price.
I got a side of the cognac sauce and some bread to-go. It was that good 😊
I stole the picture of the outside of the building from google. There were people walking out as I was walking in. I wasn’t about to be “that guy” and bust out my phone.

Great spot for some good Italian food. Pizza was surprisingly good here! Definitely recommended.

A quaint little hole in the wall with the absolute best food. Was pleasantly surprised to find ziti pomodora on the menu.

Omg we are so glad to find this place, food tastes amazing, you can tell they use high quality product. We couldn’t choose a favorite dish because all of them are just unique amazing. Pizza dough is just perfect and again the high quality toppings make the pizza the best one in town.

My family and I were looking for a good Italian restaurant in Tyler and I saw how good the reviews were not to mention the pics posted looked delicious. We decided to give them a try and boy were we blown away!! Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious! We said we wouldn't be able to eat Italian food anywhere else after having Bella's. Trinity was our waitress and she did an amazing job keeping up with bread and drinks for our table! If you aren't too full dessert I highly recommend the tiramisu and cannoli they are to die for!!!

Ordered some food to go and was happy with what we received. The combo platter with different pasta options smothered in cheese was good. The Stromboli with meat was alright as well. It has pizza kibbles in it, but didn't taste bad. It probably could have used a little more mozerella cheese. Normally I would give this place 4/5, but some of the flavors were different from the other area Italian food places around here, so I appreciate that. Price seemed reasonable. 5/5

Came to celebrate Valentine’s Day and had to leave because we wasn’t served. Another couple, me and my boyfriend were seated at the same time and behind one another. We were never asked if we wanted anything to drink but she made sure to ask the other couple also went back to ask if they wanted an appetizer. She walked past my boyfriend and I several times without acknowledging us and this was the same waitress that seated us. We waited 10-15 more minutes before leaving (which was way too long.) I have never experienced anything like that before and felt quite embarrassed, having to walk out without being served.
First timer. Ordered a coupe of shrimp entrees to go and the plastic of the to go plate had slightly melted into my food. Had a few pieces of plastic in there I had to dig out.
Heads up for shrimp entrees: you will only be getting 5 pieces of shrimp

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ before but reluctantly had to change my review. Still WONDERFUL food. But on 11/1/2024 stopped in by myself because it is usually so good.
Service was terrible. Waiter ignored me most of the meal. Needed a knife for a veal dish. Had to wait 15 minutes. Of course the food was cold by then.
Never got drink refills without having to wait a long time and finally flagging down waiter.
Perhaps it was an off night and staffing is difficult everywhere. Yet the restaurant did not seem especially busy.
Will probably try again and hope it was a one time hiccup.
But the service was nowhere near what this established used to have.

We have been here numerous times and it has been good. Today was very different. Cold bread. Very dry Tortellini Allas Panna with little to no sauce. Philly Steak Sub consisted of 99% vegetables and 1% Philly Steak. Below Subpar at best. Hopefully it was just a off day but they need to get it together.
