A wonderful place off the beaten path to enjoy a great dinner, nice bottle of wine and wonderful service! The appetizers, entrees and desserts are all excellent. They make you feel at home and you will not go away hungry. Nice atmosphere for enjoying friends and family or a place to just chill!

Our group of 18 took over this small restaurant on a Thursday night. The staff and service were excellent. The food was fantastic. The overall experience was a highlight of our family vacation to the area. I would highly recommend to anyone.

I have had COVID-19 outdoor lunches twice at Bella Napoli. We were invited to sit where we wanted on the small patio and were socially distant from the other tables...though at most there was one other party each visit. As soon as we sat down, the chef/owner(?) came out to greet us and provide menus and bring us individual bottles of water. Even before we ordered, a fresh salad and warm bread and butter was set on our table. The first visit we had the $10 eggplant rollatini and lasagna. The eggplant (3 pieces stuffed with luscious ricotta cheese) was served with spaghetti pasta. The lasagna stood alone. Both had the same tasty tomato sauce and both of us ended up taking home half of our entrees. The chef then asked if we wanted dessert and offered (@$4) tiramisu, cannoli and cheesecake. We split the tiramisu and both took it home and split the cannoli, which we ate there. It was the best cannoli I have ever had with the crispy shell and delishious, lightly sweetened filling. On my second visit I had the lobster ravioli (6) with cream sauce (you have your choice of several sauces). I'd get it again. Indoor seating is available and if all the tables/chairs are not used, it would definitely be possible to maintain social distancing. The Chef and all guests were masked except when eating. It felt safe and the food was delicious. A real nice respite from cooking myself and for wanting to get out and a neighborhood gem.

I feel like it is hard to mess up pizza but this was THE WORST pizza I have ever had. It was soggy and floppy and the maranaria sauce was really watery and there was hardly any cheese. I paid $16.60 for a medium pizza with sausauge and mushrooms and I wish I would have gotten a $5 pizza from Little Ceaser's instead!

The food tastes like it was store bought. Sauce taste like can sauce. Nice restaurant but good food it is not.

This was a warm and inviting atmosphere. We enjoyed the warm and crusty bread that arrived immediately. The calamari appetizer was hot and crispy. Followed by our entrees of penne with sausages and mussels and clams over pasta. Pasta arrived at the peak of flavor, still al dente. Generous portion of toppings on both dishes. Large portion of cheesecake suitable for sharing. Would definitely return; although without Groupon coupon, it is not inexpensive.

We bought an Amazon Local coupon and we are glad we did it. It allowed us 1 appetizer 2 entrees and 1 dessert. The restaurant ambiance was cozy we sat inside it was too hot to be outside. The servers were extremely attentive we were attenteded first by a waitress that clearly need training (she was new) but was assisted by the head waiter who was awesome.. they allowed us to order from the Today's specials.. Appetizer we had the garlic bread (we paid extraa) and the ensalate caprese presentation and taste was delicious. Entrees the chicken parmigiana and chicken with tomatoe sauce peppers (it was the special) also very delcious. To the point of other reviews it was not spicy but in a restaurant you need to be careful in how spicy the food is to attend the overall taste buds. Dessert was Tiramisu delicious creamy and moist. Overall experience 4 stars now we need to go back for the pizza
