Had lunch with work colleagues and I had the Bella Burger It was fantastic as well as the food for my friends. The service was fast and efficient. Our server, Melissa, was very helpful and friendly. The ambiance is good there too. Plenty of free parking Would highly recommend this great restaurant!

Met friends for dinner. This changed from BBQ to Italian so we wanted to give it a try. Our server was excellent. Great smile and very welcoming ! He said the special was chicken parmigiana so I thought I'd try it. He brought us a very nice bread with a tasty butter and olive oil mix. I ordered the chopped salad that I absolutely loved! There were lives of cauliflower, different types of olives and a pickled red onion that wasn't over bearingly strong. The chicken parmigiana was tasty. Two patties if chicken over fettuccini. I noticed on the way out that eggplant parmigiana was also a special. I might've had that if I'd known. I will definitely come back on a Tuesday to try the eggplant. I might also come back to try their pizza. Nice place. Give it a try!!!

First time visiting since new ownership. Overall place looks refreshed. Love the variety of china. Delicious bread with a great olive oil and butter dip. Our rice ball appetizer was very tasty. Enjoyed the half salad before dinner. The veal was excellent. Cooked perfectly with great flavor. Wife loved her shrimp pasta. Overall positive experience. We were good with our service but clearly they were having some issues and others thought they were unfriendly. The food is worth a visit.

I almost never comment on atmosphere of a restaurant. Food is of primary concern, but the reality is too apparent here. If you didn't know better and walked in the first time, you'd say, "This looks like a BBQ spot!" Of course, it was. Hanging a few doilies and Italian aperitif posters doesn't help. The delicate and frankly, pretty dishes are disconcerting against the rough and tumble tables and chairs place you in the wrong mindset. It just doesn't work. My Bolognese Cavatelli was very good, but my wife felt the Eggplant Parmigiana was simply a cheesy clump, the skin tough and stringy. An excellent bread service goes in the win column. Unfortunately, this was like eating quenelles and lobster on a paper plate washed down with Champagne in a plastic flute.

Be careful with reviews, another yelp failure is not updating the restaurant from bbq to Italian. Anyway, we stopped by and ate at the bar. First a couple apps, then shared an entree. You're coming here for the food, all was delicious and good prices (i rate on value). Cocktails menu looks good too. Patio is nice, but remember the setting is an old house, so the inside is tight. Calamari was star. Lastly, disappointed with stained menu and sticky bartop. 5 stars through the value prism.

I was in the area for travel, ended up coming here 2 nights out of the 4 . The food is amazing I was thoroughly surprised. The beef carpaccio melted in your mouth. The submission red wine has subtle sweetness that tingles the mouth. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

Came here last week for a dinner with some golf-related friends from out-of-town. Spot came recommended, and I was anxious to give it a try!Not terribly busy when we arrived, and it stayed that way throughout the entire meal. Server was super-pleasant, but service (especially given the lack of patrons) was extremely slow. We only ordered dinner platters and drinks, no appetizers.I went with a two-meat combo platter, that came with one side, pickled veggies and some cole slaw. The mix of brisket / burnt ends and (wet) spare ribs contained some good quality meats that appeared to have been cooked in a smoker, but the portion sizes were definitely on the smaller size (see attached picture). Sauces were served on the side, on a plate full of paper cups and three different profiles...sweet, hot and a mustard based version. The baked mac-n-cheese was super gooey cooked in a small cast iron dish and baked to a golden brown on top, but not terribly flavorful and kinda heavy. The small cup of cole slaw was terribly dry, almost as if it did not have any dressing at all. Flavor-wise, I enjoyed the meats but the sides left a lot to be desired.Not sure I'm rushing back to this restaurant, but would maybe consider giving it another try.

Hubby and I had lunch there on our 25th wedding anniversary, and they were kind enough to comp our cake! Server was Johnny-on-the-Spot despite how unusually busy they were on a Wednesday afternoon. I'd call the ambiance a "good date place!"

I was very disappointed from start to finish. The service was NOT great. It took forever to get our drinks. I asked for more bread, but it never arrived. The checks were incorrect at the end of the dinner. Now on to the food.... I was so excited to have some Italian food but after my first bite I was so disappointed. My food literally tasted like it was leftovers and it was overly salted. It did not taste fresh at all. It was one of the worst meatballs I've ever had in my life. There was cold air blowing on us throughout the dinner. We told the manager about it & she never even offered to move us or do anything about the freezing air blowing on us. Oh and did I mention that there were also three flies that dined with us?!?!?!?!?Needless to say it won't ever be going back and never recommending this restaurant to anyone.
