Bella Italia

Haven't been here in well over a year and decided we'd pop in and see how things were. The food isn't bad...but, at least tonight, it wasn't anything that made it really memorable. The calamari was fresh and tasty. Not chewy and old. The garlic knots were amazing (thus the reason there's only 2 in the photo and not the 4 we were served). Unfortunately the main courses were just okay. My sausage and peppers were very sweet and kind of salty. I think that the sausage was sweet and the bell peppers, which were fresh and crisp, were sweet. Then the sauce was sweet. Just overall too much sweetness for me. The Veal Parmigian was okay. Not enough sauce to make up for the dry breading. Finally, I know the restaurant is always struggling to find help so it was nice to see 2 waitresses. Our

Cute little Italian restaurant, odd parking, friendly service, nice atmosphere. We had chicken marsala and chicken damabianca. The chicken marsala was great! They brought homemade rolls to the table, that was my favorite part. The Stoneledge Mourvedre wine was excellent!

Bella Italia: A Lesson in Missed Opportunities In the mood for a cozy Italian evening, my husband and I set out with high hopes, our appetites leading the way. After weighing our options between Olive Garden and Bella Italia, I chose the latter, charmed by its quaint, inviting exterior that whispered promises of authentic comfort. The welcome was warm enough — our waitress had a sweet demeanor — but she seemed unfamiliar with the menu, which hinted at a lack of polish. We began with a tomato caprese salad, a dish that should sing with freshness and balance. Instead, it arrived timid and lifeless, in desperate need of the balsamic kick we had to request. The soups followed, one lukewarm, the other scalding, as if the kitchen had confused “temperature contrast” with “culinary creativity.”

Every time I come to Texas, I make sure to stop in at Bella Italia. I dream about their chicken soup and rolls. All the pasta is so good and the staff is always fast and friendly.

Everything here was wonderful! The food was delicious and made quickly. The bread that they bring out is fresh and tasty. Pricing is pretty low considering the amazing quality of the food
