Bella ItaliaWonderful food, great characterThis is my third visit to Bella Italia and each have been superb. The food is just great. My husband had the rack of lamb and I tasted it - so fresh and perfectly flavored. My pasta special was wonderful with locally sourced morels. The wine specials are very good picks and the wine list is extensive. I don't live on the Olympic peninsula but will be a visitor again and am looking forward to a dinner at Bella Italia. A great restaurant worthy of a drive.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMA Great Dining ExperienceMy wife and I had dinner at Bella Italia to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary, everything about Bella Italia exceeded expectations! Thank you for such a great meal and memory!5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMA really pleasant experienceI'll admit the main reason we visited Bella Italia was because I'd heard it was supposedly the setting of edward and Bella's first 'date' in the first Twilight book/movie.
But upon arrival in Port Angeles and after checking online reviews, it seemed it was probably a decent restaurant anyway.
It's a nice little place, with friendly staff. The food is delicious, plus the wine list is great - local wines on offer as well as international.
We had pasta and pizza, plus salad. I asked if the tiramisu had a sound coffee flavour, as I've been disappointed with many insipid versions in the past. I was assured by the waitress that it was... And was very pleased.
Overall, a very pleasant meal... Nice mix of music in the background - not too loud.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMIt's not Napa ValleyBut you thought you were in the greater Napa Valley of California for a nice dinner. The food was as as good as any I grew up eating anywhere in the Napa Valley and for that matter, Northern Californai. The staff is young but very cordial, and the wine list is excellent. The food? Excellent!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMhad the mushroom ravioli andhad the mushroom ravioli and linguini with clams. both are excellent.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst Time DinersGreat Service and delicious food! We had a great time! All of the staff wore a smile and were very nice. We were going to be a few minutes late from our first reservation time and we called when we were on our way (we had an hour and 15 minute drive) letting them know we were going to be a few minutes late and they were very pleasant over the phone and changed our reservation without a problem.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful Food and Service!We had a fantastic experience at Bella Italia! Wonderful and friendly service, great food, and great wine list. We had a 6 year old with us and they treated her really well. We will highly recommend this to others!4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMMy sister and I stopped inMy sister and I stopped in on her Sweet 16 birthday trip. (On our way to Forks for the Twilight experience.) The staff was fantastic and very friendly, even after I had a problem with my expectation of a meal. They made a suitable substitution quickly and without any issues. They also surprised my sister with a candle on her desert. Very discreetly, without embarrassing her. We had a lovely dinner in a beautiful little restaurant. Would love to come back if/when we're in the area again.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved everything about dinningLoved everything about dinning at this restaurant.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMBella FoodAs always, and I've been going here for nearly 10 years, the food was excellent. Only slight problem was being a tad bit under-staffed for a busy evening, so service was slightly slow.3/25/2013 12:00:00 AM
