    Awesome rolls!
    Lori R.

    We couldn't have had a better Saturday night experience/meal here. Service and food were absolutely terrific. The freshly baked complimentary rolls are destination worthy alone, but add in some perfectly cooked pasta and we were happy as could be! Husband had good old spaghetti and meatballs and was given a choice between smooth or chunky marinara. He chose chunky and loved it. I tried their Penne Bella Italia and have to say it's a WOW dish. Chicken, Shrimp, Fresh Mozzarella & Spinach in a pink sauce. What really made the chicken in the dish was the seasoning, a nice touch of rosemary. Yum! Both of our pastas came with a simple salad. Blue Cheese for him, and Balsamic for me. Nice light way to start the meal, along with those fabulous rolls. Loved our friendly delightful Server as well. It was such a good experience, we left wondering why it had been so long since we'd been.

    Cheese pizza
    John K.

    Pizza review time: Cheese pizza review I tried the lunch cheese pizza deal and a deal it is! So nice to see a bargain these days. 2 slices of pizza that are gigantic! And a drink for $7.00 AWESOME! Know the flavor breakdown. Crust- 5 stars here. Undercarriage was perfect nice and crunchy not overdone at all and had a great flavor. Sauce- 3.5 stars, it was pretty good but not awesome. The sauce was a little boring but not bad at all. For reference Difara,s in Cary has exceptional pizza sauce. Cheese. The cheese was fine not to much just the right amount. However it seemed to be a little greasy for a cheese pizza. Not sure if olive oil was out on the slice after it was cooked. Overall I highly recommend this place for pizza in the North Raleigh area. I would vote this as my number 5 pizza joint in North Carolina so far, but many many more to go.

    Ceasar Salad and Fried Mozzarella
    Heather H.

    Met cousins for dinner at Bella. The oldest has eaten there quite a bit. The orders of fried mozzarella and fried zucchini were good portion sizes and very good. The pizza rolls and Stromboli are gigantic and enough for 2 unless you are super hungry. I got the gourmet tortellini, which was very good and I enjoyed the Ceasar salad. The husband got the broccoli and sausage cavatelli, which was very flavorful. The cup said they haven't had anything bad and have tried several dishes and the pizza. The server was a little scattered and seemed rushed and busy. Chalking it up to a busy night. I would definitely go back.

    Walked in at noon of a Saturday and was seated immediately. Ordered the chicken parm lunch special. It was a large plated portion with pasta. My guest had an Italian sub. Taste wise, both dishes were underwhelming. I would consider returning to try the pizza. Service was pleasant.

The restaurant is nice and dimly lit with plenty of seating, but you will have to find street parking around Glenwood. We were a party of 6 and they pulled together tables to accommodate us. Our server was a little slow but still friendly. For starters we got a Margherita pizza, calamari, the grilled caesar, and they brought us a complimentary bread basket with oil. Everything except the caesar was good. I guess we didn't expect the caesar to taste THAT charred and the lettuce to not be chopped. For main entrees, we ordered lasagna, lobster ravioli, penne alla vodka, and alfredo. The vodka pasta and lasagna were unflavored and disliked among the table. I would not recommend those dishes. The alfredo was okay. The best dish was the lobster ravioli.

First of all, I implore anyone wanting to go, make reservations during peak hours! We entered through a big heavy wooden door into the quasi-dark atmosphere and were promptly seated, despite most of the tables being occupied. We were given a two top and started with chips and guacamole. I was impressed with the chips, they were a little extra thick, had tiny bubbles in them. Certainly a far departure from the typical thin, overly salty chip found at most restaurants and grocery stores. Excellent guac with a little pico and lime wedge on the side. I ordered the Baja bowl with shredded adobo chicken. The bowl had green rice, black beans, a whole lot of kale, tomatillo sauce, pickled red onions, crema, and cilantro. It needed a little more, so I added in some of the guac, a few chips I crumbled in my hands for some crunch, and some fresh lime juice. Noah did a good job keeping our water glasses full and he was quite friendly. However, the restroom situation is a bit difficult. There are two small unisex bathrooms, both of which have to be locked. There can't be more than one person in there at the same time, so plan accordingly. Granted, since there isn't much space in the restaurant, it's not as if they have a ton of options.

I wasn't getting a lot of coffee notes from it, and it didn't feel as full-bodied as most stouts I've had. Not horrible, but I wasn't overly enthused. However food-wise, the meatball and ricotta pizza was my jam. I love ricotta anything, and the dough had a great chew to it. We stayed basically right up until closing, and the vibes definitely got less hospitable the closer to closing it got. 10 minutes before closing, we were asked to pour our beers into a plastic cup from our glass cups. I've never had that experience at any brewery before. A bit odd lol - like closing right on time was the priority at all costs over the customer experience. But overall, we had a decent first visit, and I would come back.

People…read morewhispered about its crust like it was sacred text, and its awards lined the walls like a shrine to melted cheese and triumph. "Best Pizza" many years running back when that actually meant something. Now? It feels less like a restaurant and more like a nostalgic reenactment gone very wrong. The menu still reads like a dream--Carolina crust this, atomic sauce that--but ordering has become a real exercise in imagination. Half the ingredients are apparently on a spiritual journey and no longer physically present. You'll ask for sharp cheddar and get a thoughtful pause, followed by, "We don't have sharp cheddar, we might have a Wisconsin sharp cheddar?" --which, to their credit, has the word "cheddar" in it. The staff move with the energy of a group project that everyone forgot was due today. Pizzas emerge... interpretively. You might order a margherita and receive something that captures its essence, emotionally, if not structurally. It's less "wrong order" and more "pizza as a suggestion." A master of creative problem-solving, this cashier has boldly redefined the concept of "making change." Why fumble with buttons and math when you can simply hand over two beers and call it even? It's less of a transaction and more of a surprise gift exchange--one where the rules are unclear and the outcome is mildly concerning. And the wine list--oh, the wine list--is a beautiful historical document. A relic. A time capsule from at least six months ago, when bottles still existed and hope flowed freely. Now, asking for wine feels like asking about a long-lost friend. "We don't have that," they'll say, gazing into the middle distance. Still, there's something oddly annoying about it all. Like walking into a once-revered theater that still clings to its golden-age reputation. The performances feel like echoes rather than art, the lighting flat where it once dazzled, and every scene drags with the weight of trying to live up to a forgotten past. It's not bad enough to be a disaster--just disappointing enough to make you wonder if the hype was ever real or if you're just eating the ghost of someone else's great experience. Cheers!
