    House red sauce
    Carol B.

    Lovely unpretentious charming Italian restaurant. The entry is in the takeout area and open kitchen. Nice friendly greeting on arrival. To the right is the dining room.Maybe 15 tables so reservations are advisable . Quaint traditional decor but not old feeling. White paper table covers give a clean appearance. Cloth napkins are a nice touch The menu is online and enough selection to please everyone. Our server Gina was prompt and friendly Quick water and wine order ( no mixed drinks) Gina was very knowledgeable about the menu. I had lots of questions The bread is fresh ,warm and amazing. The dipping oil was garlicky and flavorful with a touch of heat I ordered the chicken Milanese with angel hair pasta. My brother got the grouper and linguine with house red sauce We were seated just after a table of 10 had just ordered so we knew it would be a wait. Our salads were served quickly and very fresh greens. The dressing is house made. Creamy garlic and very good The table of 10 and the table of 6 made the wait for our dinners a long wait ( over one hour) When our meals came and my order had the wrong cook on the chicken but Gina took it quickly back and it was fixed within 5 minutes thank goodness. The cook on the grouper was perfect and it was very fresh and excellent flavor Our meals were delicious and gladly worth the wait. It was clear that care was taken to prepare our food You have to be prepared for waiting for the quality of food presented. Definitely not fast food So if personal attention is important ask for Gina. Be prepared to sit enjoy the evening and wine ( a European experience) Then definitely try this place My brother said they usually get a pizza to take home too because it's so good

    Another phenomenal meal.  Love love this place!

    Chicken parmigiana
    Chris L.

    I came here with my parents. This is one of their favorite spots. The meal was very good although the service was slower. That being said, my parents said this was the busiest they had seen the restaurant. I had the chicken parmigiana. It tasted great and was a good portion size. Filling but not too much.

    A piece of a cheese slice with oregano.

    I have been coming to this establishment since 2013. Today, It was lunch time and all I wanted was a slice to go. The outstanding staff accommodated me by making a special slice for me. I am from Brooklyn, and very used to that thin crust with just the right amount of sauce, cheese and oregano. The gentleman making the pizza was from Italy and his name was Guy. He was extremely polite and friendly. He made one of the best slices I have ever had. The entire experience was very nostalgic for me. Thank you to the entire staff for accommodating me.

    Food flavor is bland for the price. Food presentation is also not appealing. Therefore, it doesn't set the palate tone to enjoy the food.

    We had dinner at La Bella Napoli this evening with a 5:30 reservation. We arrived around 5:20 and…read morestill waited about 15-20 minutes for a table, which probably speaks to both the restaurant's popularity and its biggest drawback: the dining room is simply too small for the amount of business they do. We both ordered the Veal alla Siciliana, with veal, eggplant, and ham. The dish was well prepared, and the kitchen did a nice job getting everything out promptly. The sauce was good, although I've had comparable or better Italian food at Argento's, and I personally prefer a thicker, richer sauce. Overall, though, the entrée was enjoyable and reasonably priced for what you receive. The extra charges were harder to understand. My fiancée had the house salad with blue cheese, while I ordered a Caesar and was charged extra for the Caesar itself and again for anchovies. By the time the upcharges were added, the salad was around $8. We also paid extra to substitute angel hair pasta. Considering angel hair is hardly a premium pasta compared with spaghetti, penne, or fettuccine, that seems unnecessary. These relatively small charges add up and detract from what otherwise feels like a fair-value restaurant. The fresh-baked rolls were very good--light and fluffy and particularly enjoyable with the seasoned olive oil. I had a Pepsi, although unfortunately it was somewhat flat. The highlight of the evening was the service. Anna was outstanding: friendly, attentive, efficient, and helpful, including boxing our leftovers. Our tip reflected how pleased we were with her service. The atmosphere is where La Bella Napoli struggles most. Tables are packed closely together, the chairs aren't especially comfortable, and the restaurant can get extremely noisy. Tonight included a crying baby, and with such a small room there really isn't anywhere for the sound to go. If you enjoy a lively, crowded family restaurant, that may not bother you. If you prefer a quieter, more relaxed Italian dinner, this probably isn't the atmosphere you're looking for. Our total for two, including tip, was roughly $80-$85. I also noticed the suggested tip percentages on the bill now extend as high as 30%. That's certainly becoming a trend, but 30% as a suggested gratuity feels excessive. There are plenty of positives. The restaurant appeared clean, the staff was consistently friendly, the menu offers a tremendous amount of variety, and the kitchen handled a busy dining room efficiently. It's also good to see a local, family-style establishment doing a strong business, including what appeared to be considerable takeout traffic. Overall, La Bella Napoli serves reasonably good Italian food, with a diverse menu at a fair basic price, with excellent service, but the numerous upcharges and especially the cramped, noisy dining room take away from the experience. Perhaps their success has simply outgrown the space. A larger dining room with more comfortable spacing would make a substantial difference and double their business. Overall: Good quality food, excellent service, fair value--but crowded, noisy, and a few too many little upcharges.

    It was my mother's 85th birthday and the 12 of us took her there for the early bird special. I had…read morethe gnocchi that were raw, not fully cooked, and they would not allow me to switch out their gross meat sauce for a marinara sauce. My daughter had the fish, and it was overcooked. There was not one of us sitting at that table that had anything good to say. The only nice thing that tasted good was the Publix chocolate ganache cake. PS. We asked for more bread rolls , that were hard, and said we're running low, so I'll have to serve you at the time of your meal. We made these reservations two weeks ahead of time and I specified that there were four larger people at this party. It was a major disappointment to all of us that my mother actually felt obligated to pay the bill because she felt bad that the food sucked!! Of course she did not pay the Bill.

    Fantastic pizza, fantastic service by a very caring crew. This is my gi-to pizza place from now on…read more I'm not alone with this opinion. When I went to pick up a to go order, the place was packed - on a weeknight

    We have been coming to Rocco's for over 3 years. We are not regulars, but have been here over 25…read moretimes. I have never reviewed because while the pizza is good and the food is good the service has always been mediocre. Just kind of what is expected and honestly that is pretty normal for a pizza place. Today put a bad taste in my mouth. Joe our server sees us walk in with my two kids and you can see the change of demeanor when we say we are eating in. Again nothing we are unused to with two young kids we kind of always get mid or poor service, because they assume we are going to be a mess, loud and don't tip well. While we were sitting his regulars came in and boy what a flip of the coin. Very attentive. While they were sitting he shared a story about how he went to a restaurant and his server gave poor service. Didn't fill his glass for 12 minutes. How he was half way through his meal before she noticed and her excuse was she didn't see the glass. He was critiquing how you have to be more observant and attentive. How he is a server and he gets being busy, but you still need to pay attention to your surroundings. Well I ordered my daughter spaghetti with the sauce and meatball on the side. He brought it with the sauce and meatball on top and his excuse was he didn't hear me. He then didn't offer or refill my drink once. Infact because of his story I made a point to lift my glass when he came over and he still didn't refill it. Well over 20 minutes with an empty glass. He had 3 tables and one was regulars. The icing to my grip I also ordered a Diet Pepsi which is what was on the fountain but it was definitely a Pepsi Zero, all my fellow diet soda drinkers know, there is a difference and we have a preference. If your ok with good food but mediocre service it's fine, but don't expect more.

    We came here as a family of four after going to a local fall festival, and we're so glad we did!…read moreThe service was wonderful and the food was absolutely amazing. Our daughter loved the cavatelli so much that she ate **two sides of it**! We also ordered a side salad, spinach roll, small pepperoni pizza, and boneless wings, and everything was delicious. You can truly tell that the food is made with love and care. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and homemade, and the whole experience was exactly what you hope for when you find a great local pizza and pasta place. My husband says it's the best pizza he has had in Florida so far. (We moved in June) We'll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend this place for a great family meal!

    WARNING: Avoid Belleria Pizza Terrible Food & Hostile Treatment…read more Hey neighbors, I want to warn everyone to save their money and avoid Belleria Pizza in Spring Hill. I ordered a pizza and it was completely inedible drenched in grease, severely overcooked, and practically burnt to a crisp. When I tried to address it, the customer service was shocking. The girl taking orders at the front counter is incredibly rude. Worse, the owner rudely introduce himself as JA or AJ notoriously hostile. He has a volatile, belligerent attitude and treats paying customers like garbage instead of fixing mistakes. He would not give me his real name, I suppose his initials name JA stands for the way he treats his customers, and his food quality. He talks to women with such disrespect! Don't risk your hard earned money here. There are plenty of great local pizza spots that actually appreciate their customers and delicious real Italian pizza and food.
