We have always enjoyed our dinner experiences at La Bella Napoli. The menu is very classic Italian with all the normal favorites. We've never had a bad meal there and the service is outstanding. You can tell it's a local favorite by the conversations around you as you hear repeat diners talking to staff that they know. Food is very fresh. Standouts are the Veal and Lasagne but as stated we have had a lot of different menu options and have never been disappointed. It would be nice to see them switch the bread up or offer a variety of breads but theirs does the job. Would highly recommend as this is our only Italian option in St Cloud proper and we don't want to lose it! read more

At first this experience was a good one until the owner decided he wanted to go home and kicked us out while we still had wine left to drink... it was 5 minutes after 9pm. He said and I quote; "you are not family and you all have to leave so we can go home". That seems bad enough right? but he yelled it from across the room. Wow! I would never spend another dime in this location ever. I felt so bad for our waitress and she apologized for the owners behavior and unprofessionalism and complete lack of customer service... stay away and spend your money where owners actually appreciate your business. read more

The food is incredible. The best Italian restaurant I've been to. Even when I travel I still want to come back to this restaurant. I recommend the veal picatta or the veal Marsala. Along with veal Parmesan and their sauce is wonderful! The owner is from Sicily and he cooks himself. I encourage you to try it. read more

Authentic and the owner is such a sweet soul. Cooks to order as it should be. I had the fra diavolo mussels. Robust flavor. I'm Italian so I'm hard to please. This will be a regular spot for me read more

First time visit, and first time on yelp. The atmosphere was comfortable and the service was friendly and knowledgeable. I called ahead to ask about bringing our own wine, and if they had a corking fee and they do not have that option. The house Merlot was good and our server Dawn suggested getting a half carafe. It was plenty. A video of Italian opera played. I heard the music before I saw the screen. Since it was my first time I ordered my favorite dish Chicken Marsala and Debbie ordered Veal Piccata. Dawn brought us a basket of bread and dipping oil. I ordered a salad. Nothing fancy but crisp and fresh. The food was prepared quickly and both were tender and the portions were generous. We saved room for dessert and shared a Cannoli made with fresh lemon zested filling. Can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu. I love Mom and Pop operations. read more

La Bella Napoli - Italian Near Me - St. Cloud, Florida

Food was amazing and the service was amazing. The restaurant looked like Italian which I loved it. I would definitly recommend it.

Been coming to La Bella Napoli for almost 20 years now. Consistently great Italian food. Marinara is spectacular, the Carbonara always outstanding! Never been disappointed. read more

Overall great place for Italian food. Service was ok and food took a while but was excellent. Best Italian food I've had locally so far. Will go again in future read more

Cannoli with expresso after antipasto salad. Service was so great and food fresh and fast.

Everything was awesome. We have lived in St. Cloud for a few years, and this is our first time. Service was very attentive, and she answered every question we had. Their version of frutti de mare was incredible. We will be regulars from now on. read more

Not a fancy restaurant but the food is consistently outstanding. Service is friendly and timely. Best Italian we have found in Osceola County. read more

and let us pray; Oh lord please save me from another "make believe we're Italian" restaurant! At least those are the words that I should have prayed. This place came with so much praise and so many recommendations, it must be good. Not! Not more than 2 stars out of 5. Chicken Cacciatore swimming in dish water with three long pieces of carrot, sliced canned mushrooms, and stewed onion. If in Italian cuisine, Cacciatore means "Hunter Style", this presentation was hunting for a soup bowl to stay in. Spaghetti and meat balls was ok but the sauce was too thin and flavorless. Two veal dishes were ok except the sauces were very thin and lacked flavor. Better than the dishwater Cacciatore but not by much. Desserts are just not worth discussing except to say leave room for them, elsewhere. Maybe s stop at Abracadabra on the way home. read more

Always a good experience. Food well and freshly prepared with a nice menu to choose from. You can hear the veal being prepped. Nice vino selection. Always bring visitors and have never been disappointed. read more

This is without a doubt the best Italian restaurant in St. Cloud and probably in Osceola County. It is probably the best overall restaurant in the culinary wasteland that is St. Cloud. Everything is cooked just right, and the sauces are delicious. read more

At the suggestion of friend's we thought we would try LaBella Napoli. I was not impressed. The menus we were given were so dirty, maybe a wipe down once in a while would fix that. My husband ordered the veal parm and I the Shrimp Scampi. Nice size portions however they have little to choose from for sides. They do not have soup and only pasta as a side or your salad. The topper was when I asked for another napkin, and we were handed a single sheets of paper towels. Considering their pricing they could do better than that. So, won't be visiting there anytime soon. read more

Excellent as always. Food was delicious. Made reservations and they had a huge group there. Still got seated and food was great chicken Francese or anti pasta then there is the veal saltibucca. All were cooked to perfection. read more

Very bad service and staff and owners are very rude!!!!! It's a shame be aide the food is good, if you can get past the very bad service!!!!

Customer service is awful, don't call for take out! They are to busy making money so don't call!

Cozy friendly family owned and operated restaurant. The sauce is made by the owner everyday. I really enjoyed the Eggplant parmigiana. Quiet relaxing atmosphere. It is our family's favorite Place for local Italian cuisine. read more

Great food and great service every time!!! Food is a little pricey, you get your choice of pasta or salad with dinner and for the price you pay, you should get both. read more

Fantastic food, the sauce was lovely and service was great! My only regret was not finding it sooner.

Tried this local restaurant in St Cloud. I originally walked in looking for some pizza ( because I want to try every pizza place) but they informed me that they only had personal pizza and it was more of a restaurant rather than a good old pizza shop. So I left and came back another day. Now I want to be fair so I'll start with positive aspects..... The food was decent, the bread was warm ..... Ok, now on to how I really feel. First it smelled kind of weird when we walked in. The carpet was dirty looking. I decided to give it a chance anyway. I hadn't checked any reviews on Yelp yet so I opened the app just to take a look, there were mixed reviews. The staff seemed nice. The dining area is small and colorful. They had opera playing on a tv in the corner, it gave the feel of a mom and pop Italian restaurant, which it was. Against my better judgement we ordered. I ordered the Manicotti and my husband ordered the Lasagne, both entrees came with a small house salad. The tomatoes looked a little sketchy so I skipped it. When The food came the presentation was decent and what I would expect from an Italian restaurant. It was piping hot so we had to wait about 5-10 mins before we could eat. When we finally bit into it, my husband described it as a step above Stouffer's. I didn't think it was that bad. My manicotti tasted ok, nothing to brag about but good enough. The sauce was a bit sweet though, I hate sweet sauce. They had a kids menu but did not have pizza on the menu for children so I had to order an adult size and priced personal pizza for my 5 year old son. So we got through dinner and we're ready to go. We asked for a box and my husband and I were deep in conversation and the server went to pack the boxes, I told her I would do it. Not a problem for me I do it every day at home. The box she gave me was broken, ok no problem, I asked for another one, I packed it. When my son finished his pizza and she came over again and went to pack his food.... Even though I had already told her I would do it earlier. While I appreciate her willingness to help, I prefer to do it myself. I let her and she picked my sons pizza up WITH HER HANDS! .... WHAT?!!!! I stopped her and said "I CAN DO IT" then I packed the rest of the food, minus the finger pizza and left. I was so disgusted! WHO DOES THAT?! I saw her punching numbers in the register about a minute before. Dirty hands all over my son's pizza. Gross. That's it, I won't go back.... The end read more

See all

I went in to pick up my order. When I called my order in, I requested extra sauce, they usually don't put too much sauce on. I was waiting for them to finish packing my order when the waitress went over to get extra sauce. The owner started yelling at her. While yelling he started the cursing and of course it wouldn't mean anything unless that F word was used. The younger generation could care less what they say and. how they say it and in front of anyone. He had no respect for the customers, for the waitress, and surely not for me, sitting right there. A very mean and ignorant man he is. So I get home and the owner forgets to give me our pasta. Yes, the owner was the one cooking the orders. His one comment was, this is a restaurant. Well buddy, you disgraced yourself acting so rotten and then goofed up a customers order. You need to learn what a real restaurant is. read more

I've eaten here many time the food is very good Small portions and they don't make a large pizza only small sizes but by far the best Italian I've eaten in Osceola county. Same owner for over 10 years. I try and go at least once a week. read more

Came here because several people had said they liked it. Totally disappointed. Found nothing warm or inviting about the staff or atmosphere read more

I love this place. Great food. I've been a half dozen times or so and have been happy every time. Service is good. It is not fancy, but it is quality. My favorite is the clams in white clam sauce. Good and garlicy. I've had the veal too...also good! read more

I go to this restaurant once and sometimes twice a month. I have been going for years. I am an Italian from New Jersey and I love restaurants especially Italian restaurants. When I moved to Florida I searched for places to eat and when I found La Bella Napoli (the restaurant) I was one happy camper. The run specials from time to time and there regular menu is just as good. I have only once had take out and everything was ready when I arived. Just to make sure we are talking about the restaurant located in the same strip mall as the Gold's Gym in Saint Cloud and not the pizzeria with the same name. Anyway, I know the owners and they are great, hard workers (Because when I go to the place it is packed) so they are very busy. The food is cooked fresh and you cannot rush them. When I go I know the food will be good and made the way I like it. I am very happy I found this restaurant. read more

Can't speak for the pizza. But we had dinners and they were great. The sauce was good and the portions were ample.

I am struggling to even give this place 2 stars however the staff is friendly and I can see why this place might be good to some. For me the sauce has way too much acid in it and did not agree with me or my wife. I would say give it a shot and see if it works for you! read more

Our order was not conveyed properly to the cook/owner. As a result, the owner came out literally yelling in front of the entire restaurant accusing us of taking advantage of new waitress of 2 weeks whom he said had been there a long time. Demanded us to pay for food we did not order. ***AVOID AT ALL COST*** HIDEOUS experience. We've been regular patrons, but WE WILL NOT GO BACK EVER!!! read more

We have been getting pizza here for about 10 years now. It's a favorite of many locals and it's great new York style pie, and you can't beat the prices either! read more

We went there cause I wanted a different kind of pizza. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. The pizza was awesome with just one glitch, the crust was a little thus making it too crispy. This will not deter us from going again. Overall great food. read more

A year ago this place makes the best pizza in St Cloud. Now the old man us gone and he takes the magic with him. Only two stars for the friendly staff. read more
