The food was very good, the service was pretty decent and granted I'm not sure if it was the size of the party that was causing a lag or if it was just a server either way I wouldn't rate it harshly because she wasn't bad. Thatmosphere as well was pretty decent we're located in the back or side depending on how you look at it. Overall the food itself was very good and I was exceptionally grateful to the chef who catered to my dietary needs without going to overboard.Dietary restrictions: They were able to make some of the stuff without having certain items that they would normally use.

Love the food here. Everything was delicious. On the menu they have rigatoni bolognese and they let me switch it to fettuccine bolognese. When you get the little things right it just improves the experience. The bolognese is filling and tastes so good that I cleaned my plate. Highly recommend scooping the sauce onto their bread. Haven't had a bad thing on their menu.

We went here with some friends for an early New Years Eve dinner, and it was amazing! The place itself is very inviting, cute touch with the table cloths, and the service was incredible. Our server Rebecca, was super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. She helped with providing alternatives for diet restrictions, to spot on wine recommendations. The food.... LOVED the food! It was just delicious!!! I think many an Italian gran would be proud. Thank you so much for providing us a truly wonderful experience. Cheers!

Our water came over poured water, and then we waited another 20 minutes before we left. If it was busy, that would be fine, but he went to the same table multiple times. And then he was just standing around...the worst service I've had yet in va

La Bella is a favorite of my in-laws who come here often and the bartender is incredibly kind to them.Their fresh bread is absolutely delicious. Some of the best I’ve ever had with oil and cheese.I’ve tried their pescatore, vodka fuseli, and bolognese are so good. Their Caprese salad is also a huge portion and really delicious.Additionally - the tiramisu and cookies are SO good for dessert. They have baked dessert items up front on display for sale that look wonderful.It’s a locals joint with excellent food and friendly service. Highly recommend if you like good Italian.

This restaurant gets a five star just for the friendly staff the cozy ambiance delicious warm bread and espresso martini that the bartender came back and gave me another glass full….. delicious. Bruschetta was delicious, will update when our food comes. The lasagna was delicious. it was the right portion, had a hint of that Meg was very good.Bohdana was our server and did a fabulous job, even on the recommendations.
Haven't got my food yet and love it. The bread is perfect and warm and the butter was perfect room temperature. The appetizer .bruschetta was excellent tomato tasted fresh and the bread was crunchy. Will update dinner✌and service was realy good as soon as we walked in the door. Joe greated us as if he knew us. Orderd the spaghetti meatball. The pasts was cooked perfect the sause was freshly made and tasted great and the meatball was excellent.Bohadana our server was amazing and polite!We had tiramisu for dessert and it was amazing. Never had it the way they make so delicious. Definitely will be back.

08/06/23 I came in, it had been a long time since I had dinner here. It was not that busy and I was by myself. The adult beverage took a while to get to the table, they did not ask for my preference of spirits for my martini either. It was good. Got the Caesar salad (had to ask for bread) it was. Very good. Then came the lasagna, the noodles were a bit burnt and the sauce had a interesting flavor. I would get the chicken Parm if I go back. It was not as good as I remembered it but it was a long time ago. Still a good meal.

Reservation made through Google search. Quickly had a confirmation! Arrived a bit early and were seated immediately.Atmosphere is upscale ambiance but cozy with red checked tablecloths over white ones.Food was good - nice variety of "standard" and special Italian options. We had eggplant parmesan and spaghetti with meatballs which were very good. The Casa (house) salad (ala carte) was a large portion and very fresh. A few of the young adults shared two pizzas - one was cheese and pepperoni, the other was the Funghi - mushroom and sausage option. They enjoyed it a lot. One had rigatoni Bolognese - and she ate every last bite! My husband and I had a delicious Chianti. But - the most impressive food was the warm house bread - thick slices of artisan goodness: soft on the inside with a chewy, crunchy crust. Served with butter or olive oil and parmesan cheese to dip it. We didn't have room for dessert, although I saw cannoli shells on our way out - wish I could have tried them!We were vacationing and had a taste for Italian; glad we picked this place which seems to be patronized by a lot of locals based on the people we noticed coming in and greeting each other throughout our time there.

Hubby and I landed at this restaurant for dinner partly because I had heard they served the same shrimp as Steinhilber's. Ambiance was nothing special. In fact, the restaurant was rather plain. I ordered the 3 shrimp from the appetizer menu together with a Greek salad for my dinner. My husband ordered the chicken parm. Everything came out within 5 - 10 minutes of our ordering. My husband said his chicken parm and the accompanying pasta was fantastic. My choices were less than stellar. The shrimp were good but the Greek Salad was one of the worst I've ever had - and I've eaten a lot of Greek salads, in the states and in Greece. In hindsight, I wish I had sent it back ... but I did not. We were in and out in 40 minutes. I have never 'dined' so quickly. With so many restaurants at the beach to choose from, I don't think I'll go back to this one.
