    The drinks are made very well and the food is always phenomenal. I got the French 75, bubble bread, and their seafood special which happened to be mahi and spinach risotto. I love the small homey vibe of the restaurant and can usually count on them for an Italian inspired comfort meal.

    Had a date night here and it went perfectly. Had a bottle of wine, stuffed mushrooms, 2 entrees, and an additional cocktail for very reasonable price!! Our server Nathan was awesome and very helpful. I loved that I was able to substitute the spaghetti that comes with the chicken parm for fettuccine Alfredo!! Everything was so delicious and I look forward to going back the next time I'm in town!

    4.3. For Tally very good. Ambiance was nice, French onion soup and chicken parm were good, bread too. Sicilian lasagna was just okay. Fried mozzarella tasty. Nice list of wines and full bar. Service was good.

    Cannelloni and Bella Bella salad
    Wayne P.

    From the start this place exceeded my expectations. I love Italian food and I was not disappointed. We were recently in Peru and I saw the pisco sour on the drink menu....hummm I wonder if it could be as good??? Well turns out the bar tender is Peruvian and he made a SLAMMING pisco sour, well actually 3 since they were so tasty. Our server, Reese, was fantastic. Guided us to the bubbly bread, it's a staple here and highly recommended by the others at the small bar. The ravioli special ran out before I could order it but I did order the cannelloni. Very good. The Bella Bella salad was OVER THE TOP!!! Apples, strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, mango, watermelon,walnuts, pineapple, kiwi, plum, spring mix greens and damnnnnn Shout out to Reese, the kitchen staff and of course the bar!!!

    Chicken Parmesan

    We don't live in Tallahassee so we rely on yelp to guide us. We looked online and decided we would give it a try. Service was okay. Our server had a mishap with our order and we sat there waiting. Although our meals came with bread we had to ask for it when the salads and soup finally made an appearance. We did order the special appetizer...it was a lobster artichoke dip with pita bread. The pita was very good. The dip was pretty good. Our salads and soup finally came. My friend's son had the Italian wedding soup. He liked it but said the little meatballs were cold. I had the Cesar salad. It was okay. My friend has the house salad. She said it was fine. Our meals came out. My friend's son and I both had chicken parm. It was okay. The food wasn't super hot. My friend had the eggplant rollatini. She said it was fine. We shared a tiramisu that the server didn't charge us for because of the snafu. It was very good and my favorite part of the meal. All in all it was okay. I wouldn't go back next time I was visiting.

    Left-to-Right, The Morning After and Basil Lemon Drop cocktails!

    Bubble Bread and Stuffed Mushrooms are definitely the way to go for appetizers! Maggie was our waitress, super friendly and attentive! The pasta my wife and I ordered were very filling and flavorful!

    Yummy Cosmo..delicious chicken parm with fettuccine alfredo.. the special of the night braised short rib ravioli in  a alla vodka sauce.

    This restaurant is my all time favorite when visiting my daughter at FSU! The food and service is amazing!!

    Sicilian Lasagna
    Cansu D.

    I finally got to try this place, I'd been wanting to visit for a while. The ambiance was great, and the waitress explained the menu and made helpful suggestions. Here's what I had: 1. Vegetable Soup -- flavorful, it was a great start. (it comes with your meal as a side, salad is also an option). 2. Sicilian Lasagna -- it was served with Parmigiano cheese on top; it was rich, hearty, and very satisfying. (I had half of it because it was filling!) 3. Limoncello -- enjoyed after my meal. 4. Tiramisu -- ordered to share; it served as a cake slice instead of the messy spoon-style we expected. It was good, but didn't meet my expectations. ps: they served a bread basket with butter while we waited for our meals. find me on ig for my reviews: ratingraisin

    Delicious stuffed mushrooms and bubble bread.
    Meri M.

    Excellent food and experience. We ordered the specials: meatballs, and mahi with risotto. The bubble bread was a huge hit and stuffed mushrooms were delicious. We loved the house salad. It is interesting and yummy. Great service too. We will definitely be back.

    Ask the Community - Bella Bella

    Do they Take reservations?

    No I do not believe so.

    Parking on premises?

    Yes. There are a few street parking spots in the front and along the side on 5th Avenue. There is also a parking lot behind the building.

    What is the best time on Friday night to go and make sure you get a table?

    Rarely a wait, but we've also always been OK with sitting at the bar or outside. I think the earlier the better. 6ish?

    Any gluten free options other than salad?

    Their potato dumpling is the only thing other than salad that's Gluten Free

    When is their happy hour and what are the specials like?

    Happy Hour is from 3pm-7pm. Happy Hour is only applicable at the bar and in the cocktail lounge. It includes $5 house highballs, half of glasses of house wine, half off draft beer, $5 glass of red/white sangria and $5 bubble bread.

Though you cannot enjoy a cigar inside they have a nice covered area outside the lounge. Spirit availability was impressive for the size lounge. I was interested in Redbreast Irish Whiskey and they had 12, 15, and wow 21!!! The lounge inside was what I consider small, bar seating, and some table and comfortable chairs. The outside area was covered. Comfortable chairs with tables and ashtrays to handle about 25+/-. Two TV's. There are standing fans and heaters. There was no service to the outside area, so you picked-up your choice of spirit and got comfortable outside. We enjoyed our spirit and cigars with no one complaining about the smoke. It happened to be a very rainy night and the north area was a bit flooded, but no leaks from above. Pro Great selection of spirits. Cigar and I think cigarettes, evidence by butts in the ashtrays, are allowed outside. The inside lounge was very clean, as well as the two unisex bathrooms. Con The flooded area was unfortunate, but there was only three of us, and it didn't cause an issue. The Ashtrays had been mostly emptied, but not wiped down. Really not inviting to rest your cigar on a dirty ashtray. An easy wipe with a microfiber goes a long way. Not really a Con, but there was no Service outside on the Tuesday night we visited. Overall a nice experience for a dreary night. My friends and I will return, hopefully on a nicer evening. Note: If you don't bring your own cigar, the liquor store has a small selection available right next door.
