On June 25 I am booked for the White Dinner. Patrons are asked to wear all white. My friend and I have our wardrobes ready and look forward to enjoying a complimentary Limoncello Gelato after our Mediterranean meal. Oh, don't miss their soups: all are delicious but straciatella remains my favorite. The service is excellent. "Brava" Marzia and staff. Next door is Fresco, their Italian market. Gelato + ice cream, pastries, sandwiches are fresh. Shelves are stocked with imported jars of vegetables and sauces, boxed amaretto cookies, and stalks of dried oregano. Don't miss the wine cellar.

The reason I did not give five stars is because we almost left before even getting served because it took a long time for anyone to come over to us. (10+ minutes). Their beer menu could use a few good draft beers on it as well. With that said, the service and food was great and we will return!

We ordered an extra large pizza: half Meatball Marinara and half Chicken Bacon Alfredo. We asked for extra Ingredients on the Meatball: black olives and broccoli. We also ordered antipasto plate. When the pizza arrived the extra ingredients were missing on the meatball and the Alfredo had no bacon in it. We informed Andrea our server (who was fantastic and very sweet). She graciously removed the extra charge on our bill. The Meatball pizza was okay, but didn't have enough meat or sauce, imho. The Alfredo however was great with lots of chicken! Antipasto was fresh, tasty with generous portions. They also had one of my favorite beers on tap: Jeungling. We enjoyed the evening and will return.

You can immediately tell that quality isn't just a marketing word--it's the foundation of everything they do. From the beautifully made dough to the premium ingredients and careful execution, every pizza reflects years of experience and a relentless commitment to getting it right. The family ownership shines through in every interaction. Everyone we met was welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely proud of what they serve. We've had pizza from many acclaimed pizzerias, and Bella Napoli deserves to be mentioned alongside the very best. If you're anywhere near Port Charlotte, this is a destination worth making the trip for.

We were quickly seated and ordered drinks. A few minutes later we ordered a Greek salad to share (huge), garlic knots (lots), one meatball, eggplant rollatini , and veal franchise with spaghetti. I was served veal parmigiana instead but it looked good so I decided not to send it back. All the food was delicious with plenty left over for another meal. There were some changes to the restaurant with separate doors for dine in and takeout. But all in all we have to say we will be back.

Starting with the bar, which is too small for the location, but when we all came in and the server/bartenders managed to get every order right by couple, despite us having to spread out, even to the outside. They delivered every drink to the right person and got every bill correct. Then into the restaurant itself where we had a table secluded from most others. Our service was perfect, and he (Jack A) kept up with everything going on in terms of shared plates, appetizers, main courses and 6 bottles of wine. No a single misstep in delivery or food quality. Among the items I personally had or shared - the arancini was amazing flavor and consistency, the salads were crisp and well dressed, my ossobuco was perfectly prepared and on a wonderful bed of gnocchi, and my wife's pasta special was perfection. Not a single wine glass was left empty and always filled with the correct wine. Water glasses were topped off at the right time. Plenty of bread served. Pacing was perfect. And to top it all off, every single bill for each couple was correct the first time. If you visit Punte Gorda, go to this restaurant, period, no questions asked.
