La Bella in Ghent Italian Restaurant And Wine Bar

There were only 7 people in the restaurant, this includes myself and my 2 friends, and it took them an entire hour to offer us drinks and take our orders. Once the food got to us we’ve already been at the restaurant for over an hour and a half, it’s was horrible! I ordered some pasta that had mussels on it (I forgot what it was called) it was absolutely dreadful. This is the worst restaurant I’ve been to since I’ve been in Virginia, and I’ve been here for three years. All three of us did not enjoy our meals and didn’t pay because they were just genuinely disgusting.

Their 72-ragout was amazing, the service was prompt and friendly, very nice!

As always, a great authentic Italian meal. Unfortunately, this was their last night after many successful years. I will miss them.

This restaurant was extremely empty for the rating it has there was only a two top. The rest the restaurant was empty. I stopped by here to pick up a salad to take to the brewery down the street. The gal that took my order was friendly and the salad came out fast. The negative which influenced my rating there were a bunch of flies in the restaurant which made me rethink my order once it was placed and then the actual meal. The goat cheese was sour and I found 2 short dart hairs mixed in. The salad and $15 bucks just went in the trash.

Great service and wonderful food. Prices are high but deserved for the quality of food. Highly recommend.

Held a corporate dinner event here nearly a year ago. Working with Andrea and management was simple and straightforward. La Bella gave us the entire dining room to the right of the main entrance where they provided great food and beverages to make a memorable occasion for our diverse group of 50 attendees. In true Sicilian inspired fashion, to my delight, nearly everything was served family style.

Loved it. Service was great. We ordered from the specialty menu, salmon w artichoke in a lemon sauce and swordfish w tomatoes, green and black olives, and something else I can't remember. Both came w traditional spaghetti noodles.

Excellent food and presentation. We reserved this restaurant for our work party and were not disappointed! Very large portions and the staff was attentive but not overbearing.

Very good frute de mer (seafood) pasta and service.

So delighted to finally try La Bella Italian Restaurant !! I've heard so much great feedback about this location.

I definitely enjoy having a local Italian restaurant nearby, but I have strayed from chicken parm till the other night. I was definitely disappointed in the amount of oil in the chicken marsala, but I'll continue to try other menu items. Cute little outdoor area and the inside is cozy wish attentive staff that are friendly and casual.

Excellent staff. Good meeting and eating place.

Amazing food, great atmosphere. Wonderful service. One of the best Italian restaurants in which I have ever had the pleasure of dining. I take all of my out of the region friends and family there and Andrea never disappoints!

Website says they open at 11 and we had a reservation for 11:30 that we confirmed but at 11:15 they were not open. A Sam Adam's delivery man was there waiting aswell and got them on the phone. They informed him that they were not opening until 2 and to bring the delivery back. We were given no notice and only found out due to the kindness of the delivery guy. We were also told that this is not the first time this has happened. I will not be returning as this is highly unprofessional and unacceptable.

Incredible food. Head Chef/ Owner is a great guy.
