This is a good place to have decent authentic Italian cuisine. We're visiting Seven Devils and need a quick food for the dinner. We ordered a Vegetarian Pizza yesterday and we loved it. We liked it so much that ordered the same Vegetarian Pizza today as well. This place does get crowded on weekends as people flock in from cities nearby. This restaurant is a must try if you like Italian food.

This was our first time there and we enjoyed the experience. The service and food was very good. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and there isn't much ambience but that was not a deterrent.

6/10. Somewhat torn on this one. Some of the dishes were above average, some were below. Service was solid but nothing special. More details on dishes below, but first some general comments. The overall feel of the place hurt it as much as anything. The near overflowing cigarette pots at the entrance and the pretty aggressive, hand written sign on the hostess station "NO WAITING INSIDE FOR A TABLE OR ORDER" (or similar) didn't make a great first impression. Also, the women's restroom could have been cleaner. One of the male servers seemed to be overly concerned with looking hip and being too cool for his customers. Had we gotten him, I doubt we would have made it past the appetizers. The pass through to the kitchen was a pretty major distraction. The cooks were talking a lot and hollering back and forth at each other. Given the option, would definitely sit away from that next time. They were just having fun and they weren't vulgar or anything - but it's such a small dining room that it was vety apparent. Our server was very nice and fairly attentive. There were a few times she left the table before we could finish our requests. The food. The bread was amazing - most perfectly prepared thing we had. Mussels (white sauce, but think white wine sauce - not cream) were good. Broth was great. Calamari was above average. Cooked to perfection and tender. Tomato bisque seemed to come from a can. Bean and ham soup was good. Clams with angel hair in white sauce were good. Carbonara was solid. Added chicken to one (seemed to be previously frozen) and shrimp to another (he said it was good). Salmon with risotto was good. Lasagna with meat sauce wasn't a hit. Seemed to be a small bit of lasagna (noodles and ricotta only) buried under a ton of meat sauce poured over the top. Flavor wasn't bad, just barely passed for lasagna. Lava cake was small for 8$, taramisu was very good. Overall, place needs to be polished (including some of the servers). I sort of left there feeling like "if you can't clean out the ashtrays by your front door and your bathroom - can I trust you to clean the kitchen?"

Visiting for a few days from Georgia for snowboarding and I was in the mood to get wings for dinner. I googled what was near and our shuttle driver at Sugar Top also recommended Bella's. Of course, we were a little skeptical. Wings at an Italian restaurant? I wanted to just place an order to go and the girl at the front was super friendly and took our order right away. We ordered Mild and BBQ wings as well as an order of calamari. (Weird combination, I know.) AMAZING! I cannot remember ever getting wings as big as these were from anywhere! The calamari was so good too! I only eat the rings and our order was full of them! Definitely would recommend Bella's for anyone looking at reviews!
