Mi Bella Restaurante

We all have so many restaurant choices… but isn’t it great when you choose one…. and it becomes a favorite? First, make a reservation! We are glad we did, when we got there tonight there was a huge party! So, make one… it’s a SMALL but fierce restaurant. Kind of like the owner.💕 It has to be. It has the soul of what was there before… the beloved, Le Petit Cafe. 💕 The flavors, the style of cooking, and the attention to the details… excellent. Fresh pasta, sauce amazing…med to high price, folks dressed all different ways.. I think business casual…. Here’s below what we ordered… I have a feeling though…. Anything is great!

What a delightful restaurant! Our server, Alexa, could not have been nicer! We all ended up having fabulous seafood entrees! The swordfish and shellfish were delicious! Nicely spaced tables! Very adult restaurant! Easy to find street parking! They bring bread and garlic knots with a garlic/green onion butter that almost spoiled my dinner; I could not stop eating it!

This place is a hidden gem! We went for lunch last Thursday and were totally surprised at how excellent the food was. The fried calamari was perfectly cooked and tender. The shrimp and scallops pappardelle was to die for. This place is THE BEST Italian restaurant in Branford, hands down! WOW, just wow! Can’t wait to return.

My friend and I had an impromptu mid afternoon lunch here today. It was our first visit to the restaurant t. We were both extremely by the food and pleasant service. Not only were both our dishes delicious, she had shrimp Florentino and I had Salmon, the dishes were abundant enough to take a bit home. Sauces were perfect, including that which came with the bread tray. All in all, a lovely experience.

Visited for the first time on Christmas Eve. Angie was the best and made sure every little thing was perfect (not a small thing when you have an 18 mo. old to please). Angie’s son also paid close attention to make sure all went well. A+ people, food, atmosphere. Thanks MiBella for a wonderful evening. Highly recommend.
