Italian restaurant in name but not in reality. My friends and I had dinner recently and discovered that a lot of their menu items are not homemade, just frozen foods, reheated. For example: meatballs are not homemade. Cheesecake or Tiramisu isn't either. The Marsala sauce tasted right out of a can, it didn't have neither taste nor smell of wine. This restaurant doesn't even offer a single soup. Furthermore, all their pasta is dry pasta, not homemade. What they make there? Very few things.
If we wanted store bough food, we would have stayed home and save a lot of money. All their stuffed pasta is frozen, bought from a supplier. Lasagna is not homemade either.
Aside from all that, its expensive. Expect to pay $20 per person, which it won't include wine or dessert, just your meal and tip. If you order wine or desert, then its $30 a person or more.
By the way, what's that big screen tv showing sports doing in the middle of the dinning area? Is it an Italian restaurant or a sports bar? Not sure.
Some people like this place, that's why we tried it. It seems that kids would like those simple dishes better than adults. For a real Italian meal, or at least a meal made at the restaurant, we'll go somewhere else next time.

Bella Italia is our family's favorite Italian dinner spot. From the bread to the pizza to the dessert, everything is spot on. Recommendations: Italian wedding soup, white pizza, calamari, lamb. It's a cozy family restaurant atmosphere with good service and consistent food.
