The food options were great, with many appetizer and main dish options. For drinks I had the Sarti spritz and the Italian Cream martini, which were amazing. For appetizer, we had the Grüv Bruschetta, which was spectacular. Both pizzas were delicious. Very fluffy yet crispy crust. Service was very good an attentive. We were lucky enough to go when they had live music, making it a wonderful date night. I highly recommend visiting if you're ever in or around Belleville.

They weren't the best that I've had, I guess because I make them myself I am a bit spoiled and I thought they were kind of bland I got shrimp on top of cucumber with some avocado, and I think it's sprinkled with feta. That was very good It's a really cute little bar/restaurant inside of an old historic house. The bar was super cute. The bartender was very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth stopping in.

Anyway, it's a great after church spot to enjoy a flatbread or hummus/cheese and vegetable plate. You can just pretend your in your back yard. The wine/beer selection never disappoints.

They put a lot of effort in making this an upscale restaurant. Customer service was exceptional. Grace was our server. She checked on us all night. She made our experience one of the best we have had. The assistant server kept our drinks full. Grace went over the specials and the vegetable of the dau. She even brought us a complimentary cake for our anniversary. The food was great. For starters we got the pepperoni bruschetta. It was delicious. The presentation was amazing. The steak was very tender. I got the Porter's signature grill pepperloin and baked potato. It came with their signature mustard sauce on the side. The steak was so tender that I cut it with the fork. I didn't know what to expect but everything was excellent. She got chicken marsala over whipped potatoes and green beans. She loved it. We got the 7 layers chocolate cake and cheesecake.

After making a reservation, I heard on social media that this place may be closing soon, but there…read morewas no indication of that on the restaurant's website or in-house. We arrived right on time for our reservation, stood for quite a few minutes in a half-empty house before being seated, then waited a very long time between visits from our apparently over-stretched waitstaff. The first cocktail I chose wasn't available; nor was the first entree. I settled on the "red wine flight", and it arrived in three glasses. The server recited their names, but I didn't catch them. Food was middle of the road. A smoked sirloin sandwich was tasty, though rather well-done. And the order of "salmon cakes", which the menu says is made of "smoked salmon, roast corn, tomato, cucumber, creme fraiche, and capers" was in fact just one cake (not cakes!), smaller than a hockey puck (about 1/2" thick max) and seemed to be made of canned fish, not the bright orange of smoked salmon. It was accompanied by five thin slices of cucumber and three or four halved grape tomatoes. No corn, no capers. It was so boring, and an overpriced disappointment at $23. If this Bridge is actually closing and focusing on the event space, they've gone out with a whimper. And if they're actually continuing service, I hope they get the food a little closer to the menu descriptions. Our drinks and water glasses were empty for long stretches. Our server was very pleasant and polite, but must've had way too much to do.

The staff was attentive and professional, and the space itself was comfortable and accommodating. The bar also stood out, offering an unexpectedly diverse and well-rounded bourbon selection. Unfortunately, the food did not match the quality of the service or atmosphere. The calamari lacked flavor and was noticeably chewy, though the accompanying sauce was decent. The marinara sauce overall was bland, and the spaghetti and meatballs were overly sweet--to the point that it resembled a sugary, almost artificial taste. Even others at the table commented on the sweetness. The house salad also raised questions, particularly regarding the heavy use and mix of cheeses. Overall, while Bella Milano delivers on service, ambiance, and drinks, the food remains disappointing. It may be worth visiting for happy hour or drinks, but not as a dining destination.
