My husband and I came here a few months ago with our family to celebrate my birthday, and it ended up being such a great first experience that my husband chose to come here for his birthday, as well. From the moment we were seated, everything felt easy and welcoming. Our waitress came over right away, was super friendly, and got our drink and appetizer order going without any delay. We decided to share a couple of appetizers for the table, and honestly, they were a hit. The crispy fried mozzarella ($11) was hands down one of my favorites: perfectly golden on the outside with the ideal cheese pull. Nonna's meatballs ($15) were so juicy and came with the buttery garlic bread crisps! For our entrees, we all ordered something different, which made it even more fun to hear everyone's thoughts and opinions. I ordered the cavatelli trattoria ($22) and I'm not exaggerating when I say I still think about it. The sauce was flavorful and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I literally now am catching myself looking at the photo I took and craving it all over again. My husband ordered the sausage and pepperoni woodfired pizza ($18), but after trying his dad's charred pepperoni pizza ($19, he immediately had food envy. The charred pepperoni, pesto, and drizzle of hot honey just took it to another level, so he started stealing some of those pieces. We enjoyed the food so much that we came back the very next week for my husband's birthday, which alone says a lot. He didn't even hesitate and ordered the charred pepperoni pizza, and I went right back to the cavatelli because why pick something new when I already found perfection? While the rest of the family tried new dishes, we were both completely content sticking with what we already knew we loved. Overall, we will absolutely be back again, and I recommend trying it! read more

The ambience is wide opened welcoming concept with a nice large bar. We ordered goat cheese with bread, prosciutto pizza and the Margherita pizza. The goat cheese appetizer was really good. The prosciutto pizza was good. Lot of prosciutto on it. They did not skim. The Margherita pizza, I thought it was ok. It lacked flavor and not enough ingredients to appreciate the flavors of this type of pizza. There badil was cooked and only a small amount of it on the pizza. The basil lacked that flavor. Both pizza were cooked perfectly, the crust was very tasty and crisp. It was not soggy and it was a nice sized thin crust. The waiter was ok. read more

My wife and I wanted to grab a bit after Top Golf and we wanted Pizza. We found this place and decided to give it a shot. We did make a reservation, but the place wasn't super packed but it was Sunday after lunch so it was perfect timing. The place was kind of bit and also had event space. This would be a great place to take a date or have lunch with a group of friends. They can definitely accomodate larger groups. We each ordered a drink and I'm glad the waiter verified my drink as I wanted a non-alcoholic drink and the name was for both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink. We ordered an appetizer and a pizza eat knowing we'd be taking leftovers. The appetizers came out and quickly after the pizzas came out. While the appetizers were delicious we immediately switched to the pizza. Afterwards we switched back to the appetizers as they wouldn't be as good the next day. I wish the timing was a little bit better. However overall we had a great time. read more

Food was really good and came out hot fairly quickly. Bar service very slow and not friendly. They need some training on customer service. Will be back - holing it was an off day. read more

The pizza is great. They have a nice happy hour there. Love the decor. They have a nice outside area.

What an amazing spot! Saw a Facebook ad, saw it was in the area so gave it a try. We had the arancini, Caesar salad, charred pepperoni pizza and rigatoni alla vodka. Everything was amazing. The arancini have a good amount of cheese in them, so the risotto to cheese ration is perfect. Caesar salad not fishy for those who don't like fish. The pizza, wow. Crust was crisp and chewy. Classic neopolitan crust. The hot honey works so nicely with the salty pepperoni. The rigatoni was perfectly cooked, perfect amount of sauce, really good flavor and generous amount of Italian sausage. We'll definitely be back to try more items!! Our server was very friendly, spaced everything out. Zero complaints. 10/10 read more

Came here after being curious about for a while, then saw an Instagram short about their pizza and figured I'd finally try it. Got the special pizza with charred pepperoni, sausage, ricotta and hot honey. Was cooked perfectly and the crust had just the right amount of chew that I like. The Carbonara was a bit too al dente, but overall tasted alright. Finally got the creme brulee salted caramel. Was great, albeit probably best shared as it's quite sweet! Service was prompt, polite and overall good, definitely. Will definitely come back for more pizza. read more

Our first time tonight.. the service from Kate was fantastic! This place is super cute for a date night! Food was delicious. We tried the Garlic Mussels - so tasty! We tried a pizza and the Veal Limone! I highly recommend the Veal Limone - it was my husbands dish and I kept stealing it read more

Warm and friendly atmosphere with nice music in the background. I sat at the bar and tried the meatball, and it was really good. The flavor was just right with a small touch of heat, and the sauce tasted great. I truly enjoyed it and would definitely come back to eat here again. read more

You know, we'd lived in Schaumburg for a couple years, and passed by this place, always meaning to stop in - it just didn't look that great from the street, you know? But we decided to walk on in, and loved the look of the place. The lighting, the ambience, the patio - wonderful. After being seated we were brought some warm, freshly cooked bread (which was yummy) and looked over the menus - we quickly ordered the dinner: Arancini- little rice balls stuffed with melted cheese- more cheese than expected, but REALLY good. Pistashio/pesto pasta- well, we can honestly say we didn't taste the pistashios, but we could tell ground up nuts were part of the deal- and and it meshed nicely with the pesto. Very nice - and even better? The portion sizes for us two? Absolutely worth it. I downed a couple local draft IPAs (which always helps), and we pondered the WHY? - Why hadn't we come by before? The service, the food, the portion sizes and prices were spot-on. Don't think you'd be disappointed, frankly - we weren't Try it out and let us know what you think. read more

Went here to grab a bite after doing an escape room nearby and had a very pleasant experience! Originally, we had intended to go to Fox & Hound (too busy because of football games) and Dennys (nearby, and we weren't too hungry) but I'm glad that we ended up settling on this spot. There is plenty of parking here with a very spacious dining room, and a menu that is reasonably priced and has various options to satisfy a wide variety of cravings. The decor was very pleasant, giving something between a modern yet elegant vibe -- and the table we got for our group of 8 was very generously sized so we didn't feel cramped at all. Our server Anna was incredible as she kept drinks refilled all night, food served quickly, had a great sense of humor, and was very knowledgeable about the food. Although I only had an opportunity to really try the dessert here -- from what I could taste, I was really impressed with the quality of ingredients, attention to plating, good textures, and delicious flavor combinations. From what I could see on orders for the rest of the table -- the same level of care was put into making attractive looking food in large portions that everyone enjoyed. Though we weren't too hungry, most everyone enjoyed the food so much that were no leftovers for later. Overall, good spot to bring a group with a nice menu, plenty of specials, and a nice atmosphere. I'll definitely be back here again many times in the future. read more

Whether it's date night or drinks with the girls, Bella Napoli is an ideal place to go any night of the week. Check out Happy Hour specials on pizzas Monday through Thursday. On my last visit, I enjoyed a classic Cosmo, during Happy Hour, a cup of their famous and consistently delicious pasta fagioli soup and our favorite fungi truffle pizza. But the highlight of our meal was the beef shortrib with paparedelle pasta in a light sauce. My first time trying this dish and it was so flavorful, rich and creamy with a dollup of ricotta on top. I will definitely be ordering this dish again on a future visit! read more

Pretty good, but missed the mark a little. The restaurant is large with a nice sized bar. They have nice happy hour discounts. The menu offers a little of everything - pizza, pastas, entrees, soups and salads. I tried their pasta fagiole soup which I wasn't a fan of. Their pizza selection is a bit unique - nothing stood out to me. The class neopolitan options weren't there. I ordered the spinach, mushroom, artichoke but added sausage. I felt like the cheese needed to be cooked just about 20 seconds more. The dough was good, but didn't have that traditional rise like other doughs do. It got the job done. Service was good, our server was attentive and kind - no complaints there. Not sure I'd be racing back, but it's a decent place if you happen to be in the area. read more

When you've dined at their sister restaurant Moretti's, you have to give Bella Napoli a try! Located next to the Radison Blu hotel, it looks rather modest on the outside, but when you walk in you're opened up to a full Italian experience. We were quickly seated during lunch. We decided to start with their classic bruschetta. The bread was a great thickness, not hard and not too soft. Topped with burrata and fresh bruschetta. For my entree, I got the spaghetti and meatballs, and it certainly did not disappoint. The meatballs along were half the plate. Needless to say the portion was huge, and I had dinner for later that evening as well. The meatball wasn't dry and the pasta was cooked just right. All in all we had a great experience! They also have a super cute event space next door if you're looking for a place to host an event. read more

What an amazing experience! From the moment I walked in, everything was exceptional the service, the food, and the atmosphere. Huge shoutout to Katie the bartender, who made the evening even better with her incredible service and warm personality. The ambience was perfect, and the food is absolutely worth coming back for--every single time I'm in Chicago. Can't wait for the next visit! Of course a shout out to Chef Candido read more

Great choice when we were passing through late on a Sunday night. Excellent pizza; some of the best crust we have had

Update: We went back with our friends again and everything was still great. I noticed this time that they have an events room and live entertainment on the weekends. I really enjoyed the mussels in a white wine garlic sauce. My husband said his pepperoni pizza came with a hot honey drizzle. Our server was attentive but didn't rush us so we had time to catch up. Happy hour deals Monday-Fri 3:30-6pm and now also Sat-Sun at 9pm read more

Everything here was amazing! Service was top tier! We had ordered a lot but my favorite was the prosciutto arugula pizza! Their pizzas are wood fired pizzas. Wood fire pizzas are my favorite- crust always tastes great when it is cooked this way. They have amazing options, great appetizers and pastas! I recommend the patio if the weather is good! read more

I went to Bella Napoli with some friends late on a Saturday night. Bella Napoli features a live band and as a result I couldn't hear my friends at the table. My husband and I came in looking for dessert and were happy with what we got. We had the strawberry and Nutella pizza and Coppa Chocolate Marshmallow. The marshmallow was actually a layer of creme brule, a layer of graham cracker crumble, a layer of chocolate, and a Marshmallow on top. The taste of the dessert was enough to make up for the aggressive volume of the band. Everything was combined perfectly. Bella Napoli hit it out of the park with the dessert. I can't wait to come back to try more of their menu. I highly recommend Bella Napoli! read more

Very amazing Valentine's meal when we went! The only thing I would have changed was the music selections, but I'm a romantic and old.

wow---what a decline from last time! First off literally took over an hour to get food but I never give bad reviews for that. The food-YIKES. Chicken parm odd crust that was falling off. About 8 stands of pasta...for $25? The meatballs had a very odd texture and very sausage-y tasting. Salad was good. So many better places to go to.. read more

Service was great-we loved our server! Ambiance was nice, a little loud, but that seems to be par for the course anymore. Everyone wants to create a party atmosphere where you have to "nod and smile " because there's no way you can have a conversation. Food... pasta is not homemade or fresh so, already not a high end Italian experience. Even that could be passable for an average night out, but the biggest disappointment was grocery store bread. Not brought in from a bakery, the stuff you get in a bag. Not toasted with garlic butter and parmigiana cheese-nothing to make it vaguely special. So, Olive Garden or Bella-kind of a toss up. That's not to say that it didn't used to be an amazing sandwich shop. read more

She was very attentive and had a great sense of humor. I will absolutely be a repeat customer! Thank you Destiny for wonderful lunch! read more

Previously 'The Snuggery,' Bella Napoli has been completed renovated and turned into an 'upper scale' local bar and restaurant. The decor is a fusion of local small town bar and modern Italian. It's towards the end of January and their Christmas decor and lights are still up. Kind of nice, kind of not. This establishment can seat well over 100 people. They also have an outdoor patio for when the weather is warmer. This review is based on sitting at the bar for happy hour (Happy Hour: Monday - Thursday from 3-6pm in the bar area). The staff is very friendly and over the top attentive. Checking in every 2-5 mins. My fiance and I decided to order their happy hour specials and started with a Tito's cosmo and a tres agave margarita. We enjoyed both drinks and really appreciated them being full sized pours and at a discounted price! For food we tried the grilled calamari and the charred pepperoni pizza. The pizza was way too greasy. The overall idea and concept of the charred pepperoni seemed good but the execution fell short for me. On the plus side - I am very surprised with how much I enjoyed the calamari.. honestly I was expecting it to be over cooked and rubbery and it was the exact opposite of that. It was cooked well and easy to eat. read more

We go for food service in the ambience over here whether you're sitting inside or they're outside seating. Their happy hour pizza and drinks to their late night drinks and desserts with pastas, everything is just amazing. Some unique pizzas and pastas that they have with pistachio are really good as well. read more

As part of the Morreti's family,Bella Napoli takes inspiration from Naples to bring you fantastic chef creations along with wood fire pizzas and an extensive cocktail list. Went on a Monday night . Was about half full . We sat in the restaurant area but we're still able to get the Happy Hour Specials (Mon-Fri 3-6pm) . Started with the Grilled Calamari which was big enough to share. Very tender,not rubbery that came with arugula,bruschetta tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette. Very good! We wanted to take advantage of their 12.99 (Any Pizza Monday Special ) so we had the Fig n Pig which had Provolone,mozzarella,fig preserves,bacon,prosciutto,arugula,shaved Parmesan and honey. Lots of flavors but I would have liked more fig and less arugula. Now I know for the next time. My wife had the Gluten Free (4.00 up charge) Neapolitan Veggie which was loaded spinach,mushrooms,broccolini and sweet peppers. Again super good! With over 12 different pizzas to choose from as well as salads and pastas,I will definitely be back ! read more

Tried the newly opened Bella Napoli in the Schaumburg area. The restaurant itself falls under the Moretti's restaurant umbrella but in an elevated manner. The inside was newly renovated with black and white aesthetics and pops of red. This location has been open for about a month and one could tell the kinks had already been worked out. They will eventually offer a banquet area in about a year. We happened to stop by for the happy hour deals that are served only in the bar area. Still the prices are hard to beat! Our bartender and server, Victoria, was so warm and welcoming. She was very knowledgable about the menu and quick to turnaround drinks to us. It was great to make small talk and learn more about the offerings and restaurant background. We got a total of four cocktails: black cherry spritz as well as the cosmo, classic, and lemoncello martinis. All were made very balanced and it was great to know the lemoncello was house made. We started with the mozzarella crisps that were ok but the real standout was the prosciutto fig bruschetta. The mixture of flavors was perfect per bite. Our main was sharing the sausage and pepperoni pizza. Sausage was true italian sausage and pepperoni had a good bite. Overall, the food and drinks were great! Be sure to check out this new gem in the Schaumburg area! read more

Very pretty restaurant with ample space. Tables felt extremely cramped though. I would highly recommend a reservation. Overall experience was good. We had 2 pizzas, the meatballs, the chicken parm entree and the carbonara. The pizzas were the best! Highly recommend the charred pepperoni. It had a pesto base and hot honey and it countered the salty pepperonis perfectly. Meatballs were huge, bread was hot and fresh. read more

Very casual and reasonably priced restaurant. When walking in- I noticed there were already Christmas decorations up adding a lot more pop up touch and making it all the more welcoming. Role mussels and cavetelli pasta were spot on although I can't speak on behalf of the pizzas, which are one of their specialities. Desserts come in at $7 each and no complaints there. Bella Napoli is a vegetarian friendly place too if you decide on that route. Will visit again and recommended for occasions to grab a quick bite with friends. read more

If you're in the Schaumburg area or live around there, this is a decent option. I wouldn't necessarily add it to my places to meet-up with friends again next time we visit from NYC though. Service was good, no complaints there. We were there on a Friday night and there was a live singer. He was pretty good, but we were seated a few tables away from the stage and once he started it was hard to hear our friends and catch up, which is what we were there for since we only see them once a year. The food was decent. I liked the fresh bread they offer for the table with olive oil. We asked for parmesan and crushed red pepper to elevate it. The bruschetta was probably the stand out for me - so good! The woodfire goat cheese was ok. My friend ordered the cavatelli trattoria and my husband the pistachio pesto gemelli. I know I'm not Italian, but I've been a part of the culinary industry, am pretty well-traveled and have eaten out enough to know my pastas. They brought out the dishes and it seemed like my friend who ordered the cavatelli got the gemelli for her dish and my husband the opposite for his dish. He didn't care, but my friend isn't a fan of gemelli as it's too thick for her. When we mentioned it to the waitress, she sent the manager over and he was trying to convince us that we received the right dishes. I'm sure they were right according to them and what they have labeled in the kitche, but they definitely were not the traditional definition of the two pastas. That aside, she ended up changing her dish to the rigatoni alla vodka which turned out to be the better of the three pastas anyway. I was happy with my margherita pizza, but wish they had the calabrian chili oil like most authentic Italian restaurants do. Overall it was a good place to catch up with friends, but I wouldn't necessarily go back for the food. read more

Visited on the 4th after a couple hours in the pool and had a great lunch. Service was prompt and attentive to the children which is always appreciative to the parents. I guess this was once a neighborhood nightclub back in the day but has been updated to a modern Italian restaurant. Ordered the "Bordain" mortadella and short rib grilled cheese sandwiches, pepperoni pizza, and a couple salads and everything was quick and well prepared. They have an outstanding metal, wood fire pizza oven which is one of the coolest I've seen that I bet they prepare a number of their dishes in. The servings were very large including their sandwiches which we were only able to eat half of. Only criticism I would provide is that the mortadella sandwich had a lot of cheese which may be a good or bad thing in your book. read more

Really mediocre Italian. Our calamari had strong fishy smell, which is not a good sign. I ordered the Pistachio Pesto with chicken ($25). It was flavorless, cold and dry. I could immediately tell my plate had been sitting for quite some time. Even the bread was black and charred (they made sure it was flipped to hide it). Schaumburg needs to raise its standards. read more

Been here a couple of times. Food is decent but service always seems to be lacking. Tonight was no different. Took a while for someone to come by our table. Ordered drinks, they came quickly. Then ordered appetizers, soup/salads, and entrees. Sat for a good 20 minutes no sign of food or our server. Next thing, someone is bringing out entrees. Appetizers, soups and salads never showed up but now my main course is being served. While they apologized, still a big miss. Then took forever to get the check and it only came after one of our party got up to track someone down. Unlikely I will be going back. read more

** Neighborhood Gem!! Pizza, pasta, salad ** After you are seated, they give you a couple minutes to look over the menu. Bring warm, freshly baked bread with butter. One is not enough. Ask for another! The food is delicious!!! Everything tasted handmade. Fresh pasta!! Neopolitan Veggie Pizza Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza Pappardelle Short Rib When I looked at the photos, it seemed like a personal pizza but it was bigger than expected. Not knowing what to expect, we ordered a pasta in case. It was fresh pasta. The sauce also included lots of flavorful veggies. The crust of the pizza is that of artisan pizzas like Nancy Silverton's (Pizzeria Mozza). It is thinner, baked perfectly, and not oily. They put bottles of water on your table so that you can pour more yourself. Wish we lived nearby. I'd frequent Bella Napoli. read more
