Bella's On Fort Couch

A really great cozy old school family Italian restaurant. Our server Danielle was excellent, knowledgeable and friendly. Huge portions. The place was packed, but not overwhelming which is a good sign that it's popular and everyone is happy. I want to try everything on the menu.

We sat in the bar, since my MIL prefers it and the service and food were great. The bartender was also super friendly, tho we didn't order from her at all directly. I hadn't been there since the name change. They didn't seem to do anything to remodel, so it's a bit dated still, but it's nice enough and I care a lot more about food and service. I'd definitely return if it were a more convenient location for where I live. I'm sure I'll go back at some point anyway, since I have family down that way.

I felt like Bella's had more focus on quantity than quality when we stopped in for lunch. They were fairly crowded for weekday lunch but were seated immediately. They had an extensive menu, with entrees including soup or salad and a side. I had the chicken Parmesan with a side of pasta and wedding soup. Everything was served piping hot and came out quickly, but the flavor wasn't there. However, the portion sizes were so large that I had leftover chicken for days.

Sat at the high tops at the bar and it was a good vibe. Food was top tier from appetizers to dessert. Services was probably the best service i've ever had at any restaurant. Carol waited on us and she was amazing. Definitely recommend this place if you haven't been.

So we were staying in the area and did not wanna go into the city. So I found this spot on yelp. I called in a made a reservation, this I would recommend. We came on a Friday at 5 pm and it was busy. It's full of families, groups for parties and it seemed to steer a bit older but that's ok. It's pretty much old school inside, photos of Italy, assorted paintings but it does need a slight refresh. When we were seated we went thru this area that made me think of that one shot from the movie Goodfellas. Our server Scotty and the rest of the staff is really kind and friendly. They brought out some bread and butter. It was in a basket and covered We figured it was warm/hot.. nope and the butter was hard. It's minor but I just found it odd. We ordered the calamari fried, it was good not great. Some of it was perfectly fried some of it was rubbery.We both got a veal dish. Me the Veal Piccata the. veal was delicious but the piccata sauce was really lemony. Like it made you pucker.. it was a nice sauce but it was a bit too acidic. My husband got the veal parmigiana and it was delicious. Meals come with either soup or salad and or pasta or some other starch or vegetables.We both got the pasta it was bow tie it was cooked pretty good the sauce was nice but it was lukewarm. We shared a piece of tiramisu and I got a snifter of Frangelico. The dessert was just right not too sweet and the nuttiness of the Frangelico was lovely. They have specials and a big enough menu to satisfy anyone. They have a full bar and you can get wine too. Lots of choices for dessert too. It's Italian American style food and done pretty well. Give them a whirlThey have a shared parking lot

Great place. Good people. Good food. Have only been a couple of times but it's always been delicious. The chicken fettuccine Alfredo has been a standout for me. Nice bar to hang out at with a good drink selection.

Prime rib is the best around free first time I wasn't able to finish it all.Well worth the price. Drinks weren't bad either

I ate dinner here recently. I do love the ambiance. It was so nicely decorated, colorful and cheerful for the winter season! It was also packed... this is definitely a "hot spot" of the South Hills. Several big groups were here celebrating their holiday parties. However, the food was pretty "meh" for the price paid. Entrees range from about $20-$40 approx. and they just weren't the best food for that price. My whole table was in agreement. Overall, it's a nice Italian establishment. The service was as-expected and everyone had a good time. But I am not rushing back for a second round any time too soon.

First time here, came with our neighbors. Food and service (Scott)was terrific. I had the angel hair scoglio, wife had the salmon. Everything was delicious. This definitely could be our new go-to Italian restaurant.

Food, service, and ambience was great Will be returning to Bella's again in the near future
