We had an amazing dinner experience to kick off Restaurant Week 2026! The food was delicious and came out quickly despite it being very busy. We had an incredible server named Dibi who was bursting with personality and took such great care of us, we can’t wait to go back! Dibi even took the time to explain some of the intricacies of cuisine in the different areas within Italy. He’s a true gem & so is Bella’s! We had the lasagna, tortellini, tiramisu & limoncello cake…all A+!

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. The food was amazing and the service was even better! My waiter Dibi was outstanding and made sure everything was good. Plus, he kept checking back throughout the visit. I really appreciate that. I had the cheese ravioli which was really good. They have these garlic rolls and they are amazing! I have never had rolls like that before. I met one of the owners and he stopped by the table as well to make sure my visit was going well. This is the perfect place for a small lunch gathering, date night or big family/work gathering! Highly recommend and will be back!

We came in just before close on new years eve, trying to make our reservation after having to jumpstart a car. We thought they would turn us away (we wouldn't have blamed them if they did lol) but Diba welcomed us with open arms and served us a lovely dinner. Some of the best customer service I have ever seen even tho they could have just turned us away. I couldn't recommend this place any more. The food and especially the rolls were absolutely delicious. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

First time here, 3 p.m. on a Sunday. Italian food is my favorite so I am so glad Bella's has opened. Excellent service from Shenda! She was pleasant and efficient. Also, she was very attentive, giving me a box before I asked for it. I will ask for her when I come back, she id that good!!!
Everything is homemade and delicious. The lasagne noodles were a little soft for me personally. I like mine al dented.
My only 4 star was because the bussing staff who seated me (helping out til hostess arrived) kept flipping their bar towels. Also after the hostess arrived they continued to hang out at the front with her. I didn't expect to see that at a nice sit down restaurant.

I don't normally leave poor reviews. This has been Bellas (third strike).
Twice my wife and I have ordered take away food.
1. Fettuccine Alfredo. cold, glue-like. But good flavor.
2. Tortellini Michelangelo. It was obviously seared off in a pan that had been used to cook fish. I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager. He was a good listener and said he'd get to the bottom of it.
Last night my wife and I decided to try one last time. We dined in.
The atmosphere was nice. The greeters were nice. Our waiter was prompt and attentive. My wife ordered Chicken Albanese, which was good. (I tried a bite). I ordered Eggplant Parmesan. Absolutely awful. Soggy, wet, bland, no flavor. My suspicion is they get them in frozen and then microwave them. I only had 2 bites and that was two too many. Just to confirm I had my wife take a bite as well. When the waiter asked " how was everything?" I told him soggy, wet, bland. I asked if the chef microwaved the dish? He told me that was outside his paygrade of $6.00 an hour and didn't really know how the kitchen prepared the food, Didn't bring it up to the manager. Didn't tell the chef. Just took the uneaten food away. I make Eggplant Parmesan myself. Trust me, this was absolutely horrible. I challenge the owner to order this dish and tell me this is anything even close to sub standard.
