    Lasagna and New York pizza
    P L.

    Great service, even better food! Stumbled across this place and soooo happy I did! Tried the salad, garlic knots, pizza, and lasagna... everything was AMAZING! Will definitely be coming back!

    Daily special spinach ravioli

    The people were all nice but $40 for 6 pieces of dry ravioli, a handful of salad, and carbonara that we are pretty sure is bacon and not an egg based sauce is crazy. We were really excited to try this place because of its reviews and our love for Italian food but this was unfortunately very disappointing. The sauce on the ravioli tastes like it came from a $1 can of crushed tomato especially considering the amount of water in the container. Besides all that the salad was great and the people were kind! The place looked cozy and clean.

    5/31/25: Short version - solid eatery. Food, service, & atmosphere were all good. Nothing really stood out that I would say "wow!" about. More people popped in for take out than for dine-in. Long version - Bella is a cute little place with a pretty hefty menu. We arrived this particular Saturday for a late lunch; we were the only two dine-in customers so the sole server, Brayden, we had all to ourselves. He was exceptional: friendly & attentive. Appetizer platter: fried, fried and more fried! :-) It had a nice variety of items (the fried ravioli mozzarella were my two favs). I will say the chicken strips seemed a bit tough & thin. Garlic knots: delicious. Small bite-size knots w/ enough garlic to keep the vampires away. Ha! Just the way I like them. Shrimp carbonara: the shrimp was huge & my sister enjoyed it. Bella trio (choose 3 entrees): the eggplant parm w/ spaghetti needed another slice of eggplant & less spaghetti, and the cheese ravioli was a decent portion. For both of these, I will say the sauce was a bit of a let down, in that there did not seem to be a whole lot of flavor / spices to it. All I tasted was tomato. It definitely could use a bit more pizazz to it. The chicken picata was my fav of the 3. You could def taste the lemon. My only critique with it would be the white wine butter sauce was a bit runny. Desserts: I know the lemon mascarpone cake is not made in-house (we saw the box), I'm not sure about the chocolate lasagna. Of the two, the cake was the best because it had the most flavor. The choc lasagna was an Oreo cookie crust, ice cream, & what tasted like normal choc pudding (nothing fancy about it). The two or three other customers that came in for pick up were getting a pizza. Seeing that, if we back to Bella (it's 35 miles away; yes! we drive all over the valley trying new restaurants every week), we will def have to try one of their pizzas next time; perhaps a calzone or hot sub.

    Chicken Piccata
    Joe L.

    Good value and tasty food. The pizza slice are pretty much the size of a small pizza! The Margarita pizza is simply good and the Best with ham is good too. The cheese sticks are a good appetizer and you won't go wrong with just a slice of pizza and wings. We got the wings at medium and it was mild for us. The servers are super friendly and will have full conversations with you or leave you to eating if you so choose. Its a nice spot and will remind you of a New York pizza joint.

    Side salad
    Alvina T.

    This place is really close by my friend's house and we were craving pasta! I had read a lot of reviews for this place and was really looking forward to trying it! When I arrived, the lady at the counter took a while to find my order even though I had placed it well ahead of time and we arrived after our estimated wait time. There were a couple tables dining in and it seems like a nice casual spot. I'd be willing to come back and try their pizza which seemed to have gotten good reviews. Unfortunately, my friend and I both disliked our pasta dishes. She got the shrimp scampi which came with 6 small shrimp total on a huge bed of fettuccine pasta with NO SAUCE. The pasta was extremely dry. My chicken piccata was the same. Two thin pieces of chicken breast, equating to 1 whole chicken breast, on top of a huge bed of dry fettuccine noodles with no sauce. There was not a single caper to be found. The side salads were pretty standard. The highlight of the meal was the garlic bread that accompanies the pasta (forgot to get a pic but it was flavorful and delicious) I also got an Italian hoagie and asked for the dressing and mayonnaise to be on the side so that it wouldn't be soggy. Unfortunately they did not do this and I ended up with a soggy hoagie. Very disappointing.

    Baked ziti and garlic bread
    Angelique S.

    Let me start by saying I'm very picky with food. BUT THIS PLACE IS AMAZING !!! I get the baked ziti fried zucchini and cheese raviolis. The baked ziti comes with the most yummy garlic bread and delivery is so quick. Everyone that works here is so amazing as well.

I love that they change their menu daily, it's handwritten and the details are posted on their Instagram page if you want to take a look before you arrive. Everything is made fresh to order! The day we had gone in, they had a few sandwich and pasta options available to choose from. My husband got the spicy Italian sausage ziti pasta dish and I ordered the chicken parm sandwich. The sandwich came out first; I really liked the marinara sauce on it. It was a bit difficult to eat but exactly what I was expecting and wanting. The pasta took some time to come out, but that was fine. The sauce was like a pesto vodka sauce, very rich & filling, and also tasty. We were both only able to eat half of each dish since they were both large dishes. I believe they only serve pasta dishes on certain days, so if they have them on the menu, definitely consider ordering one of those. They seem to have sandwiches everyday. It's a pretty small place with a few tables & some bar type seating. It gets pretty busy around lunch time, so plan accordingly. We'll be back again to try other items!

Food 10/5 We ordered the zucchini which were served in a nice and little crisp batter. They were great. We ordered a salad which was large enough for sharing. The dressing was the perfect paring for all the wonderful ingredients. Entrees included an order of Egg plant parmigiana over pasta. Portions are generous. My entree was tonight's special, prime rib ragu also a generous portion. The prime rib was nicely incorporated in their linguine style pasta and with other fresh vegetables in a hearty an slightly sweet sauce like my own. This was a perfect recommendation by Alyssa thank- you I'd order this again. Desert was a large serving of crème brûlée. The topping was perfectly toasted giving it its crispy texture and smoky notes.

The unlimited salad and bread is always the highlight of my meal and a treat especially as I don't eat bread at home. For $11.50, it's an excellent value.

We made reservations at Pizzicata in anticipation of both Valentine's Day and the need to re-carb after the event. We arrived at the host stand a few minutes before our reservation, but were told that there were no indoor tables available. If we wanted to be seated immediately, we'd have to accept an outdoor table, even though we had a reservation for indoor seating. We opted to wait because the weather was chilly by Arizona standards, and we were still recovering from the race. A couple of minutes later, another hostess approached us and asked whether we had reservations and were waiting. When we confirmed, she immediately left to find us a table, and we were seated very shortly afterwards. I thought very little of this until the owner came to our table and apologized for the issue. He was kind and sincere in his regret for the situation and was excited to tell us about the staff and the food. We were wildly appreciative of this attention to detail and service! We shared the potato croquettes, and they were everything I was hoping they'd be and more. (Light lore: I chose Pizzicata because I saw a picture of these croquettes on their online menu.) For dinner, my husband had the Travolta pizza, and I had the gnocchi gorgonzola. We both did that thing where we sat back in our chairs, breathed deeply, and declared, "oh dang, that's goooood." We were both so happy with our choices - I can't speak to the pizza, but that was some of the best gnocchi I've ever had. Pillowy soft in this perfectly nutty, cheesy, creamy sauce. *chef's kiss* For dessert, we shared the tiramisu, which was perfect in every way. If we weren't already walking funny because of the race, we'd have still waddled out of Pizzicata from happy fullness. The service, the food, the vibe - we're here for it and we'll be back the next time we're in Mesa.
