Customer Reviews
Maybe a hidden gem. One of those places that are tucked away in a neighborhood. The sauce probably makes everything. It is great. Got the side dish of meatballs for an appetizer. Best I have had in a while reminds me of my mother in laws home made. You have to dip bread in the sauce. Could be dinner all by itself. Got the ravioli for dinner. Was so good I was half done before I remembered to take a pic. Wife got cavatappi and broccoli and loved it. Was so big could not finish it. You have to end with a cannoli. Very good. Wife said was the best shell she's ever had. Off-street parking is a huge plus!.
This was a nice place and space to host a private party or celebration event. The food was excellent and the service as well. However, it was a cash bar only (No debit or credit cards). There's not an ATM in the building. Overall, it was a great night.
I started scheduling dinner meetings for an association I was president of at Bella Italia when Sal's son was very young and trailing his father around all business like. Sal's son is an adult working in tandem with his dad and the restaurant is better than ever. I don't live in the area anymore, but still plan trips just to eat there. Fabulous food, service and ambiance!
My Aunt celebrated her wedding reception here and the venue was excellent. Sal was great with the meetings and communication. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was perfect for the event. They also have private parking and let's not forget to mention the FOOD was amazing. Definitely recommend others to book this place for a venue and visit the restaurant for regular service as well.
Sal, the manager (owner) was great! He accommodated us during our time of deep sorrow when we hosted a repass after my aunt’s funeral. We were able to host the repass & not worry about setting up, food & clean up. Sal was very accommodating to our family members who preferred a vegetarian meal and he was soooo easy and pleasing to work with!
