    Not the biggest restaurant but the food is AMAZING! Portions are generous, and the service was amazing. The prices are a bit on the higher side but it is a touristy town so I guess that is to be expected but the taste was worth it! It was a cute place and it would be worth trying it out!

    Risotto with shrimp special.

    Good bottle red blend wine. Grilled calamari very flavorful. Fresh herb bread with balsamic dipping sauce paired well. Doz. baked clams were a good entree for me. The chicken in lemon and oil was tasty. Cannoli dessert hit the spot.

    5 stars does not give Cucina Bella the respect they deserve! We met Tony and his beautiful wife early in the afternoon last weekend. Oddly enough we had just made reserva in tions. We started with Goat Cheese Marinara served with crostinis. So simplest , I am not sure why I have never thought to pair these! I am a sucker for a delicious Caesar salad!!! Chicken Milanese, absolutely wonderful!! This dish was our favorite to the point we were fighting for the leftovers!! Penne Arrabiata with sausage Then ‍ Butterfinger cheesecake Oreo cheesecake And...... Tiramisu We highly recommend you run do not walk!!

    Pros - the service is great. They were very kind in seating our group without a reservation. The bread and oil combo is also super tasty. Cons - no real vegan options. Carbanara was more like watery Alfredo.

    Have been coming to Galena every year for the past 15 years and was super excited to see a new restaurant this year as we walked down Main Street. Naturally, we made a reservation for dinner for the next day. It's a cute corner spot, not very big but big enough for a decent sized party to enjoy dinner and drinks. They have a bar with a TV too if you'd prefer to sit there. Service was kind and they had a decent drink menu. They served a focaccia for the table with an excellent olive oil, herb, and balsamic dip. We decided to order the chicken parm, chicken marsala, and eggplant parm. The entrees came with a salad for the whole table. I was pleasantly surprised with the marsala. I almost always enjoy the sauce most but the chicken was excellent. It was probably the most tender chicken I've had in a pasta dish. My mom expressed that same about her chicken parm. I think the only downside for me was the kids menu was a little pricey, about $12 for buttered noodles and it didn't come with a drink or side or dessert. Overall, I think we will be making Cucina Bella our Italian go to spot when in Galena. They have an extensive menu that has something for everyone.

Generous portion of snapper on a nice bun with red slaw and small basket of fries. I had the fish and chips. Three pieces of haddock nicely battered with kale slaw and a dill tartar sauce. Small basket of fries kept me occupied. Service was great. I'd live to return when the place is packed and the dance floor full. Really looked like a fun place. Highly recommend without any reservations. Can't miss. The place is too cool to pass up.

    I'm back. I haven't left a review in a long time. I just got lazy and tired. But since we are…read moretourists I will review this place I've become to notice Irish pubs seem dark. It's hard to see if the place is clean but I can say the bathrooms were and I didn't notice anything that was dirty. We got seated within a minute. Place was not very crowded being a Sunday night. The hostess greeted us with a smile and felt with our difficulty to choose where to sit. She chose for us because we were just indecisive. A plus, they had a musician playing singing some Irish songs and he had a good voice. I can see this place being loud if it's packed but for the 20 people there, it was not. The restaurant itself was a little warm but whatever, no big deal to me. The most important part of the restaurant is obviously the food. I ordered a Rueben which I know is a basic meal to get but I wanted corned beef but didn't want to pay the corn beef prices. I will admit this was one of the best Rueben's I've ever had. The flavors were awesome, the meat was tender which isn't always easy with corned beef. The fries I thought were pretty damn good. They aren't my usual typical fries I like but they were seasoned well and nice and crispy. The wife got another basic item of the fish and chips. Again, the fish was amazing, the tartar sauce, which I usually do not like, was good. I thought it was some of the best fish I've had in a while and the tartar sauce was definitely homemade. The alcohol, well can't go wrong with any of the beers I chose or my wife chose. I also got a black and tan which I haven't had in about 20 years and it's just like I remember in college with the exception of drinking 4 of them. So why would I give this place 4 states instead of 5? Unfortunately, the waiter was not very good. He was not very personable, didn't seem to smile, didn't seem like he really wanted to be there. I know most of us don't want to be at work, but in this industry, you gotta fake it. I will recommend this place and if we are ever in town again, I'd like to try some of the other food. The atmosphere was a good time, and the decor, especially the Irish flag was good enough for me. I would go there if you're in the area.
