I was looking for a place to have my daughter's bridal shower and we found Bellas tucked away on old Jacksonville hwy. Not only were they very hospitable about using an entire back room of their restaurant but their food was on point and their waitresses were so kind and fulfilled all our needs. We had about 50 people and no ones needs were unmet. They made the day very smooth and my daughters day extra special. Thank you for everything Bellas.

I live a couple minutes from this place so I thought I’d try it out again. Came here a few years ago and had a horrible experience as well.
My husband got the cheese ravioli for $13. When we opened it at home it had 4 noodles in it. 4. I also got a kids chicken Alfredo and it had more food than the ravioli. I called and asked to speak to a manager. I explained the issue asked if anything could be done. She went and spoke with the owner who basically said “sorry if you want more food pay for it” we spent $62. The food was bland. Chicken tough. Not worth the cardboard box she gave it to us in. We wont be back.

The marinara sauce tasted like they opened a can and dumped it in the bowl and the stuff manicotti sauce what's exactly the same. No spices added

I loved this place! We were with a group of 11 (and had a reservation) but we were seated immediately even though only 2/3 of our group was there. Drinks were prompt (and correct). Food was perfect and quick in my opinion. They allowed substitutions though many places like this might not on a Friday. All in all we had a great time and our group will be back!

Good food, good service. My wife had the Chicken Parm and I had the Veal Alfredo. Both were delicious. I think they used a GIANT chicken in the Chicken Parm. 😁

I’m originally from South Korea and have lived in the U.S. for a long time.
I had the pasta and vegetarian pizza at this restaurant, and it was the best Italian food I’ve had since coming to America.
Next time, I’m definitely planning to try other dishes as well.
Many thanks to the chef for such an amazing meal!

Was disappointed in the combination dinner. I ordered it so I could sample several Italian pastas so I could order the one I liked most the next time I came but it was all thrown together in one dish & I had no idea what was what. Doesn't make sense. Also disappointed in the Tiramisu cake, very small piece for $7.99. Brunos has a large slice for only $5.99.

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.
