Food is outstanding. Our wait staff was a bit frazzled being quite busy. Forgot our bread plates and butter, but really it was a minor inconvenience because the food is outstanding.

Off.The.Hook. The steamed clams were tender & flavorful despite being 70 miles from the ocean. The Veal ravioli & fungi ravioli are not to be missed. My party said the seafood ravioli were also a must for fans of lobster & shrimp. Paired with a nice Montepulciano & chased with pistachio ricotta cheese cake... Bella indeed.

From the moment you walk into this charming and thoughtfully appointed restaurant, you can feel you are in for a treat. And so we were. Excellent service and amazing food. Cocktails made just right. A small but thoughtful wine list is a perfect accompaniment to the meal. Deserts are homemade and out of this world. What a gem!

Once again we had a wonderful time at this restaurant. Tonight reservation for six with a great table, a bit big so due to energetic level of restaurant a bit hard to hear, but not bad at all. Greeted warmly seated quickly, served efficiently and never ever feeling rushed we a great time. Appetizers of Clams Oreganata (a bit small), Beef Tartar, Fried Calamari and fresh lump crab meat, all were wonderful. Entrees of Veal Marsala, Double cut pork chop, Rib eye chop, Chicken Chow Bella cooked perfectly to temperature and well seasoned. Decent wine list of which we enjoyed a couple bottles, excellent bar cocktail menu and wonderful desert menu. Always enjoy the atmosphere, the staff and of course the food quality. Looking forward to the next night out at this location.
