Little place that packs a punch! Our server Michaela was FANTASTIC , she greeted us right away , was friendly and kind. I am grateful that we had such a pleasant experience with someone who was so accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly. She checked in on us continually and kept our drinks full. I was pleasantly surprised as my mom suggested this place for lunch. I tried the Pasta Alla Puttanesca and my mother had the chicken parmigiana. Both dishes were incredibly delicious and the tomato sauce was incredibly fresh and sweet...... wow I was blown away. The table had fresh, hot and tasty bread. My Pasta Alla Puttanesca came with a side salad as well. The chicken parmigiana was deliciously cheesy and saucy, not overwhelming at all. Of course my favorite part was definitely the Tiramisu, I mean wow..... if you know how cotton candy tastes and how it melts into your mouth that's exactly how it was for me. I was surprised how big the restaurant was it has a ton of space and looks pretty accommodating for large parties. They have separate bathrooms for me and women and an area if you'd like to buy fresh tomatoes. Overall I'd definitely come back in hopes of having Michaela as my server.

Not a fan. La Bella leaves way too much to be desired and remains stuck in a decade old atmosphere. From the mediocre food to the sub par condiments this place screams one step above a nursing home. One is kindly greeted and then presented with unseasoned olive oil to dip the warm bread in. The bread is also disgraced with complimentary margarine as if screaming too cheap to buy butter. The chicken park is served separately from their pasta and begging for it's lost partner. A bit of herbal flavor with some salt would do a great justice for this dish. Nothing screams come again. Sadly this place shall also hide its head in shame.

I was in the mood for real Italian food and La Bella did not disappoint. The restaurant has a lovely homey feel to it. On the table was this fantastic garlic and oil sauce. We ordered the calamari fra diavolo and the veal piccata with spaghetti. They were both delicious. We also had 2 glasses of Chablis. Definitely will be back.

I can make better food at home. So disappointed. I ordered The seafood Linguini and got spaghetti with water and a ton of mussels. 3 shrimp, 3 pieces of calamari and about 5 clams (which a few were empty). We ordered an appetizer that never came and the salad that comes with the meal is a JOKE. It's lettuce, not salad. The flavor was lacking in everything!! I had to add a lot Of Salt and pepper. They didn't even have fresh Parmesan cheese. Just the store bought powdered type. I question if this is really a scratch kitchen. Our food came out pretty fast for being made from scratch. We want to support small businesses but it's hardTo when they aren't worth supporting. This was our first time here and it will be our last!

I was at this restaurant tonight and they have great food. Unfortunately the owner was incredibly rude to us and our server when they closed and we still had wine to finish. He said to to our waitress., "Let's go, they are NOT family"Incredibly rude! I will never go back there!!

Went here to have some dinner with my little brother and was not impressed. The spaghetti look as if you made it at home, with a puddle of water in it, then as our server was giving our check and talking to us the owner starts to yell at her to "get back to work" which weirded us all out, would not recommend much better places to go in the same area....

Let me first say this is not about the taste, the food is really good. However, the place we came to when we first moved to St Cloud in 2012 is no more. They have gotten too big for their britches and it truly shows. The portions are incredibly small now. The prices went way over what they were. I mean, if the portions remained the same that's one thing, but it's pasta, come on people. The salad is a complete slap n the face. It's WAY over priced for a VERY small side 'salad', not cool people. And now, they do NOT do take out orders, period. We loved the food itself, but are not able to eat out directly at any restaurant and take out is our go to. But NNNOOOOO, no exception, no excuse, just we don't do take out! Please come off your high horse and realize that people are tired of paying for your 2 month long trip to Italy, every single year!!!
