“ Had a wonderful meal at Bella Bella. I had the lasagna and my husband had the grouper. Food came out hot and flavorful. Service was good and atmosphere was nice. ”
“ This Italian Restaurant exceeded all our expectations—it’s hands down the best Italian restaurant we’ve ever been to! We ordered the chicken parmesan and the famous bubble bread, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The flavors were rich, the portions were generous, and everything was cooked to perfection. The cozy atmosphere and excellent service made the experience even better. If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine done right, Bella Bella is a must-visit! ”
“ Highly recommend! We initially went to a different Italian restaurant closer to our Airbnb, but the wait was over 40 minutes. I am so glad we did not wait because we would not have tried Bella Bella. Everything we ordered at Bella Bella was delicious, and our server and the service were great. It was so much better than any Italian chain restaurant. ”
“ Outstanding flavor! My New Yorker Italian husband says this is the closest to his family's gravy that he's tasted anywhere. I have a gluten allergy and they had a Snapper and risotto special that was the best I've ever had! (And we dine out a LOT). My husband had cavatelli and meatballs. Their gorgonzola vinegarette salad dressing was really good!! Deliziosa! ”
“ We were referred by friends while visiting my daughter and definitely worth the trip! The place is super cozy and comfortable. Our server Max was awesome!! We started with bubble bread and stuffed mushrooms. Both were fantastic. If you only get one, it’s the bubble bread. Hands down one of the best garlic breads we’ve had. Jess had Sicilian lasagne and I had chicken parm(of course). We loved them both and shared a little too. Everyone else (party of 8) enjoyed their dinners and took home leftovers. I tried the fettuccine Alfredo and loved that too! We ended with a birthday tiramisu and even that was delicious. Will definitely back the next time in Tally. ”
“ We had an AMAZING meal. Bubble bread, French onion soup, tomato basil soup, Caesar salad, braised beef ravioli special, incredible meatballs, chicken Parmesan, the best fettuccine Alfredo we’ve ever had, angel hair pasta cooked to perfection, and glorious desserts. Rhys took care of us and was absolutely awesome. A must try! ”
