The lasagna was absolutely to die for--perfectly layered, comforting, and unforgettable. We also had the steak, which was cooked beautifully and complemented the meal perfectly.

What really stood out was the ambiance--it was so elegant and inviting, it honestly felt like we weren't even in the RGV. A perfect spot for a special night out or when you want something a little elevated. Highly recommend!

Definitely have a nice bar and areas for intimate discussion or open areas to enjoy with family or friends.

Bella Mia's was recommended to me so I thought I would check it out. First thing to note was…read morelocation. The address listed is a tad deceiving. The address is actually a complex, so you have to wander around to find the actual restaurant. (It's in section D - at the back of the complex) You'll need to drive around back to find a closer parking space. Once found, this is a quaint place that allows for intimacy and hearable conversations (except apparently, on the weekend when there's a lot more evening patronage). Lot's of open widows to allow the light in. As one would expect, it has a (modern day) Italian theme. I was seated almost immediatly and presented with a menu that I had a hard time choosing from! I ended up with the lasagna that was a pretty huge chunk of pasta with lots of homemade sauce, and plenty of cheese (although I would have liked a bit more simply because I like the stretch of cheese overload!). The combination cheese blend and seasonings was delicious too. It would have been nice it the waitress was more helpful with recommendations. I like trying new things instead of the old stand-bys, but all I got was "everything is good". It makes me think the staff really hasn't tried much. So - I went with the old stand-by, lasagna. I don't want to take anything away from the lasagna, it was good, but maybe try something else next time. The staff needs to learn flavor profiles. I also had the carrot cake. There were some raves about it, but I have to tell you...it wasn't (to me) all that. I don't know if it's made at Bella's, but it just seemed like standard, run of the mill cake to me and at a HUGE cost of $9.00!!! For that price, you shoulld be able to expct that it was scratch made. Speaking of cost... this is not a cheap date place. Expect to open the wallet. My chunck of lasagna, which includeed a ceasar salad, and a couple pieces garlic toast, was $17.00!! Combine the $9.00 for the carrot cake, and my LUNCH was $25.00!!!! My take away is, the food is good - but not amazing (as I was promised). It's a lovely, cozy place to take a date, but a pricey place for a family or two people. If you've got a few pennies saved, it's a nice change of pace - but not a regular hangout if you're on a budget.

We decided to try a new place while we were in town - glad we did!…read more The place has a bit of an upscale vibe but folks were dressed from dressed up to somewhat casual. Our server was Sublany and she was awesome. Very personable and her recommendations were spot on. We decided to start with the Calamari with sun dried amogio. The calamari were large and prepared perfectly. The sun dried amogio was amazing - great flavor and some heat - the perfect pairing with the calamari. Great start! We tried the soup of the day which was something we'd never heard of much less eaten. It was a green bean soup - the beans were puréed with cream, some cheese and red pepper flakes. We weren't sure how it would taste by Sublany highly recommended it so we went for it. It was really good - the flavor was subtle but great; nice and creamy. We would definitely order it again. For our entrees my wife tried the salcicce which was pappardelle, fennel sausage, roasted red bell pepper, marinara, caprino and red pepper flakes. It was also very good - the pasta was prepared perfectly and the flavors all worked very well - another hit. I selected the lamb chops which were frenched lollipops, blue cheese cream and an arugula salad. The chops were perfectly prepared and the blue cheese cream on top was amazing - made very good chops excellent. The arugula salad also had a great flavor. I would also order this again. For dessert we decided to share a Hand Pie which was an apple pie with caramel drizzle and ice cream. The texture of the dough was great and the apples had a great cinnamon flavor which worked well with the caramel drizzle and the vanilla ice cream. This place was great! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a bit more upscale than the run of the mill restaurants!
