Went here for a wedding banquet maybe 10 years ago. Decided to look up the place again and check it out for dinner, remembering it being delicious. Certainly glad I did, because this is my new favorite Italian place. At first glance, thought to be on the pricy side, but I had nothing to complain about after such a great dinner. My favorite dish is the Pollo Filippo. Please note: they have a wine-n-dine-for-$39 special, currently offered on Thursday nights. This gives two people a bottle of wine, app, 2 salads, 2 entrees, 2 desserts, 2 coffee or tea all for $39. This also comes with their famous bread & oil / butter. I try not to eat out "too much" but find myself here at least once or twice a month. Lastly, the wait staff is fantastic. I really love this place. My Italian grandmother would have approved! read more

Went for a birthday celebration. I was impressed that one server handled our party of 20 with separate checks. Food is very mediocre. The red sauce is not flavorful, the oil on the table to serve with bread tasted like canola (blech). We asked to substitute Cesar salad with our entrees and were charged $7. My husband had a martini, I had a beer, chicken parm and manicotti - our billl was $78 (plus tip $95). We wont be back - not a good value for the money...although the place was packed (probably because there is nothing else around) read more

My meal was the best I had in ages!! Check the piture it says it all! I will be back, if you have not been heck it out. Service was great! read more

Bella Restaurant - Our meal! - Italian Near Me - Glendale, Rhode Island

Excellent Italian restaurant. Waitstaff is super attentive. The clam zuppa is one of the best I have had.

Bella is a great restaurant with great Italian food. It's been open for years. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is clean. They also host events. I went to a wedding there and it went very well. Don't hesitate to go if you happen to be in the area and are looking for Italian food. read more

This is the second time I have eaten here. Wow! The service was wonderful and the food was wonderful. My seafood dish was overflowing. This is one of my family's favorite special occasion places to go. read more

food was unreal from the calamari to the veal parm everything was an absolute 10!! Service, drinks and food were perfect! Love this place!

I love Bella's!! Every time we have gone we have very tasty meals! I just recently had my bridal shower here and service was great!!! And the food was great!!! read more

Bella Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Glendale, Rhode Island

When I was invited by Sarah Calapai to attend this dinner with my good friend Tracy Calapai, I was stoked! I can't lie, I was nervous that the courses would be outside my health guidelines, but I wasn't dissapointed. Most dish contained my favorite ingredient, cheese! Shrimp paired with crab was an outstanding! The parmesan cream sauce paired with chicken and broccoli was a party in my mouth. I skipped the pasta, but it was indeed perfectly al dente. My favorite dish was the swordfish cooked brilliantly! The prime rib was a perfect medium with no fat and the demi was distinctly unique! I really didn't think I could fit in dessert, but one bite had me quickly wanting to lick the plate! read more

See all

Delicious. Always go after golf at crystal lake golf club and dinner is always delicious. Otters Rockefeller is the best I've ever ad and our dinners were so satisfying. Veal parm and pollo Monte Carlo is what we had for dinner. Flavors were great. A must visit read more

What a great experience. I heard good things about this restaurant, but I never thought it would live up to it. Upon entering the matidre was welcoming and genuine. We were a part of 4 ( with no reservations) and were seated promptly. Within a minute a warm server greeted our table. The restaurant was clean and our table was perfect. We ordered drinks and were told the specials . So much to choose from. Service was top notch and our server Shana was by far one of the best severs I've encountered. Meticulous and caring. The food is so delicious I was blown away. Definitely a hidden gem. I just wish I had gone here sooner. Thank you Bella and Shana for making my sons birthday perfect. read more

I love this place, food is delicious and portions are extraordinary big. The atmosphere is great, I would recommend this restaurant any time. It is romantic!!!! the staff is great. My favor waiter name is Joe. read more

I'm so glad this business has been able to operate during COVID. The owner is great, and the food is amazing!

The food was great, the decor was appropriate, but the strolling musician added nothing to my enjoyment. My wife and I decided to go to Bella's to celebrate our anniversary; we'd been several times in the past, and were never disappointed. This time around, the food and service were superb, however I docked a star for the strolling musician. He was loud in an already loud room - my wife and I wanted nothing to do with his singing and guitar playing. When he came over, we tried to ignore him in the hope he would go away. He didn't. He was playing loudly, not far from my head. My wide was very uncomfortable and so was I. I asked him to move along in what I thought was a nice tone, and recieved what I considered a bit of attitude. I know the guy has a job to do, but pestering people in the middle of a romantic dinner is not really gonna win him any tips. That said, the food was fabulous. My prime rib was done perfectly, the sides were appropriate (though could have been slightly better presented overall), and the service was stellar. I really felt welcome, and our server did a splendid job of making sure we had what we needed and were content with our meal. I will certainly return to Bella's, but when I make a reservation, I'll make sure to ask if the musician will be there. While other patrons loved it, I just couldn't get into it. read more

Meh. Was ok. Sever was nice.. Bread was dense and dry.. WICKED overpriced! Asked for a side of pasta instead of potato and veg and was charged a hefty upchage. (pasta isn't fresh.. Stop and shop penne). Cmon, pasta is flour and egg. I've made better at home. I'd give this an olive garden minus one... Sad read more

Decent atmosphere and friendly staff but not authentic Italian food. Pricy for the taste, quality, and location. Tolerable if a family member or friend selects but wouldn't eat there by own personal choice. read more

Well it's a Saturday night and my husband has been traveling for 4 days, my kids are sick, I'm 12 weeks pregnant and am hungry... I had planned on getting delivery but I didn't want junky food I wanted a meal. Then suddenly I had an epiphany... Take out from Bella's and maybe just maybe they will walk it out to my car... I could manage getting the kids there (it's 2.5 miles from my house) but bringing 2 sick kids under 3 into a restaurant just wouldn't do. So I called and to my delight they said "no problem"!! I've never ordered out from here and I've only eaten here twice but my food has always been pretty good and my mom raves about one dish in particular so I ordered myself a chicken Valdostano with the potato and veggies... Delish! Thanks Bella so much for being so accommodating and for making this hungry momma happy! read more

Honestly, this is my favorite italian restaurant by FAR. Their food is flavorful, delicious, hearty, and really, really, really good! Their caesar salad is one of the best I've had and their vodka sauce is supreme. We have eaten here at least a half dozen times and never had a bad meal. It's a bit far away for us, but we make the effort because honestly I think the food here beats anything down on the Hill. read more

Love this place! Italian atmosphere. The owner's family are waiters and waitresses

Over priced, middle of nowhere, nothing special. Bathrooms were dirty! I can't figure out why this place has good reviews, seriously. Food was mediocre at best. read more

Food was perfect, service was great, Baked Stuffed Lobster for 21.99 with two sides, amazing! Everything came with salads and portions were big. A hidden Gem in Northern Rhode Island read more

Clearly capitalizing on the northern RI customers who don't want to drive to Providence. Overpriced and two steps above an Olive Garden. Don't waste your time with this place... Make the drive to Fed Hill! read more

My wife and I have been coming Here for years and the food is delicious and the staff is wonderful. We have had salads and pizzas to salmon and calamari to pasta and steak Diane and we are never disappointed. Bella's fairly new Dinner for two on thurs and Fridays allows us to come more frequently. It is a limited menu with chef's appetizer bottle of red or white wine and ice cream for dessert for the awesome price of $39.99. I make sure to leave a double tip because the wait staff isn't doing any less for my budget friendly total. Even with the larger tip it is still quite the deal for the quality of food and the great wait staff! read more

Dinner at Bellas last night was a pleasure. The attention to detail was refreshing. White table cloths, incredible service , even crumbed the table in between courses before bringing fresh silverware between every course. The food was very very good,menu varied. Our party ranged in age from 80 to 12 and there was many choices. We had lobster ravioli, grilled haddock, and chicken parmesan. Everyone was very pleased. Salads and breads were fresh and the house made dipping oil and seasoned butter were great. Elegant atmosphere but all felt welcome. Dress varied from jeans and tshirts to dress up. Wouldnt hesitate to return, really a gem. Again need to mention how good our service was. The to go boxes were wrapped in saran and hand labeled for contents. Really nice touches and the food was great too. read more

Bella is hands down our favorite restaurant. Neither my husband nor I have ever been disappointed with an appetizer, entree or dessert that we have ordered. They are also very accommodating, should you want to make alterations to the preparation of your meal. In fact we love Bella so much, that when my son and now daughter-in-law were looking for a venue for their wedding reception (he is in the military and his wife is from out of state) we suggested Bella... shockingly they chose to have the wedding in RI and after talking over budget and food selection they went with them... it was perfect! The food was delicious and everyone had a great time! Needless to say we are huge fans and will continue to visit often! read more

Really good food and big portions. Tons of garlic in all the food though, especially the vodka sauce - so be careful if garlic isn't your friend. read more

My family just had the best time over the weekend celebrating my parents 40th weeding anniversary great food excellent service a big thanks to the Calapai family for making my parents surprise party a lifetime full of memories, Best Italian restaurant period!!!!! read more

Bella Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Glendale, Rhode Island

Tonight was a lovely evening on the outside patio at Bella Restaurant. We were there to meet friends to try the special deal available from Tuesday through Thursday each week. Our waiter, Joe G., was friendly, knowledgeable, and accurate as he explained the offer to us and adeptly delivered what we had ordered. The full course dinner for two is 39.95 with a bottle of red or white wine and includes an appetizer, salad, entree, and small dessert for each person. The appetizer for the evening was baked polenta which was fine with us, but on another night, it may not be to our liking so my feeling is that there should be another choice within that category. The house salad is served with a choice of dressing and there are a number of entrees from which to choose. Portions for thus deal range from small to average depending upon the course and the quality is good. The regular menu offers a huge and deliciously described selection but of course, the prices are higher. read more

Very pleased with this place. The atmosphere is classy, food is upscale Italian, a little pricey, but worth the money. Wish we lived a little closer, this would be "our" place... read more

This is a really great dining experience. On our last visit I had the eggplant rollatini it was super . My wife had the linguini bolognese. She said it was excellent and very flavor full. Our waiters name was Bruce and he could not have been more attentive and pleasant. I highly recommend Bella anytime. Oh and leave room for desert. I recommend the tiramisu. read more

Tucked away on Bronco Highway is this treasure chest of a restaurant that is going to surprise you. It's far enough removed from the big city that you won't have to wait to get a table and it's really a nice and quiet atmosphere (typically live accordion music on a Saturday night). Try the calamari if you like calamari. It's extremely good and one of the best I've ever had. I'm also a big fan of their shrimp scampi, veal Marsala and chicken with pesto. A truly unique experience without all the white noise at some of the other restaurants closer to the main stream. read more

So delicious, like another reviewer said, a hidden gem. We just moved here and we are glad it is so close by. The food is amazing and the service terrific. read more

Appetizers were very good. The service was also. Don't order the cioppino. We each paid $41. The muscles were so big they should only be used as bait. The shrimp was way over cooked. The scallops were very good but there were only two. There was plenty of tender squid. The lobster and clams were good also. If you pay that much for a meal, it should be perfect. They were also out of gluten free pasta so I had to have mine over risotto. Probably not the best choice. Guess we won't go back. read more

Bella is by far the best Italian restaurant in RIMe and my aunt have been coming here since I was 11, just cant get enough!!..Great hospitality, delicious selections of entrees, appetizers also mouth watering desserts. One of my favorites is Bella's creme brulee for dessert taste like heaven!. read more

Nice restaurant considering out in Burrillville. Food and drink was fair but wasn't impress. Not one dish stuck out. Be prepared to spend lots of money as the bill will add up. If you're a local and want fine dining, sure this place can work. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, the waitstaff is awesome, the reason I am only giving 4 stars is the bar service was about as bad as gets, we were sitting at the bar and had to wait 10 minutes for a refill was told to "wait a second" then the bartender started dealing with checks instead of customers, that's poor... read more

We've been going to Bella for years and have always appreciated the the food and the overall atmosphere. Ate on the patio the other night: the service was slow and our wait staff didn't know much about the wine, but we enjoyed the experience nonetheless. read more

Excellent service. Delicious food. A bit pricey and recent price increases will probably reduce the number of visits in the future read more

Our favorite special occasion restaurant. I recently had Citrus Salmon- a special that evening. Salmon perfectly cooked and covered in a glaze of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Didn't need dessert at all. read more

Our favorite place! We are going tonight for our 21st wedding anniversary. We have never had a bad meal here and the service is excellent. We always ask for Joe who is knowledgable, friendly, and just plan awesome. We have sent many people here, and they love it as much as we do! read more
