Delicious, friendly staff... we love this place! We have been several times and I am trying to try several different dishes, but I can't stop ordering the sea bass... I LOVE IT!! The other dishes I have tried have been much better than typical neighborhood Italian restaurants. We will return again and again!!

I was craving pasta and this place came up as the best in the area according to Yelp so I decided to give them a try. There wasn't much to the building and the inside isn't anything to write home about either but the food was why you come here. I do wish they would update the decor of the place it's very dated and smells like old ppl house but besides that I loved the food. It was a while ago so I forgot what I ate but I do remember loving it and being full. I want to go back just gotta make the time to get here.

The experience started off rocky due to confusion with the staff over which waiter was assigned to our table. Once they finally figured that out, the experience was improved. Hands down, the best Chicken Marsala I have ever had. My wife had the lasagna with Alfredo sauce , and it was very good. The atmosphere was very homey, and inviting, although I had to use my phone to read the menu due to the lighting. I will definitely be making this a spot that I bring the entire family to. Well worth the 30 minute drive.

My boyfriend and I had our first date at Cafe Bella and we have been back many times since! This is our go-to date night spot for the amazing food, quick service, and nice atmosphere. It is also BYOB.

This was our first visit to Bella's. Friends drove us and we were anxious to try it based on what they'd said. Also, the BYOB is a plus. It was a very busy night with every table in the dining room taken. They have a patio, which looked inviting, but it was over 90 degrees so we opted for indoor seating and got the last table. The place is loud. On a night with fewer diners, it might be reasonable but a couple of us had problems hearing each other. The server was extremely sweet but terribly overstretched, having to run many tables with multiple diners. She set us up with water and wine glasses and we looked at the menu. And waited. Bread came up, a nice garlicky roll, a little overcooked but the EVO with herbs saved it. Salads were fine. I ordered mussels. Everyone else got pasta and were happy with their meal. The chef should never have allowed those mussels to be served. They were chewy, tiny, dry, and several shells had no meat at all. A large bowl of marinara came alongside and I made do with that and the roll. I complained and they reduced our bill. If you live nearby and like Italian food, I can see Bella's would be a good option. Just don't order the mussels!!!

I loved this place! So cute on the inside and had amazing food that came out hot and ready to eat. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is that there were tables open but it took us a second to get sat and when we got sat it took a minute for someone to notice that we were there. Other then that loved it!

Lovely place, really good food and service. Was crowded for Friday night, but it didn't effect the level of service. The outside patio adds to the atmosphere.

Food was pretty good. Rolls were some of the best we've ever had, and the dipping oil was very good. They were quite slow though.

This place is so many things in one. The inside setting is very beautiful and romantic. While the outdoor patio is relaxing and quaint. The authenticity of the food made my visit impeccable. My waiter Kyle also made the experience thirty times better. He was meticulous and would alway return to the table to check on us every chance he got.
Nice dinner food was good. Need better lighting at the the door. Could not see to do the check.

This soup was awful and watery and should be free. There was absolutely no flavor. Waitress was nice but this soup was trash.

Had the best meal at Cafe Bella last Thursday night! The food was absolutely amazing, 5 star service, great patio. Friendly people all around. Highly highly recommend!! I had the linguine w broccoli, added shrimp and artichoke hearts. Amazing. The homemade garlic knots (served hot) w herbed olive oil started our meal. All family members loved their entrees. And everything is very reasonably priced. It's byob and they allow hard liquor as well.

Our first time coming here and our experience was good no big complaints besides that it did take a while. Just be prepared to have a 2 and a half hour to 3 hour dinner if your coming during the evening. Also it is BYOB. Food was delicious ?
