My brothers and I have started a tradition of our April Birthdays celebration at La Bella Valatie. Our 3rd annual celebration did not disappoint. Us 3 and our loves enjoyed a 1pm lunch in a very cozy corner table for six. Meals and beverages were plentiful and delicious. Zach went out of his way to make our celebration memorable. Definitely looking forward to next year! read more

La Bella Valatie - Celebrating our April Birthdays at La Bella Valatie! - Pizza Near Me - Valatie, New York

Labella's "Valatie" is amazing. I do not believe it is affiliated or related to any other labella's in our area or elsewhere. This place has it all. Great wine list, great pizza, delicious entrees, great service and huge portions /good value for price point. The in house made "house" salad dressing is the bomb. It's a balsamic something. The cannolis are better than most anywhere and large. I've been on a cannoli kick over the last year or 2 and this was better than any, including from Italian bakeries that I've had recently. The wine list is expansive and at $11 a glass, with a great pour, is reasonable, as is the bottle prices. I've been many times for both eat in and pizza for take out AND attended a catered event here and they really get everything right all the time. See you there! read more

4.25 Although we weren't too hungry, it was getting late and we needed to eat. We looked up Italian food options, and while there weren't too many choices in the area, this place's pizza looked really good--so we decided to give it a try. You walk in and the space feels much larger than expected--high ceilings with some familiar décor I've seen in other Italian restaurants, like small statues, vines, and painted scenery. You could also tell that this is a popular local spot, since it seemed like the staff knew several of the guests personally. We ordered a medium Margherita pie and a Penne alla Vodka--both simple and safe choices. The pasta dish came with a side salad (choice of house or Caesar), which was perfect. Note: if you prefer a small amount of dressing, you may want to ask for it on the side. We did make that request, but unfortunately, the server seemed to have forgotten, and our salad came drenched. We didn't mention it, though, because we weren't that hungry and just ate what we could before moving on. That said, the pizza and penne were both excellent. The pizza had that great brick oven flavor, fresh mozzarella, and a robust tomato sauce. The Penne alla Vodka was also flavorful and nicely seasoned. If you're ever in the area and in the mood for Italian food, definitely check this place out. read more

Last couple times we ordered pizza from LaBella's it wasn't as great as it normally is. Not as crispy not or flavorful.....Tried it out again and got some garlic parm wings. These definitely were neither garlic nor parm,they tasted more like an Italian dressing. They were okay. I wouldn't order them again. The thing that annoyed me most was we got 10 wings in an order which is a nice size and this is the photo of the carrots we got in the order. They were wrapped up really tight in aluminum and this get was what we got. 4 unpeeled really old carrots. Seriously. I think the best idea is to eat dinner at LaBella's versus getting takeout. It is really quite good when you dine in, but the lack of attention to detail is something you can't call out when you're not at the restaurant and you're home already. read more

As a Hudson native, I've always enjoyed pizza from LA Bella's. Now living in NC I crave NY style pizza more often than not. While visiting last weekend, I made sure to pay a visit. I sat at the bar during a Saturday afternoon & ordered a glass of Montepulciano & a medium pepperoni & sausage. Both were delicious! The service is always on point & the other patrons were friendly. Can't wait to get back up there. read more

I love this place! The food is top tier, the service is always wonderful and the tables are clean. The ambiance is amazing, but I do miss the guy who played the piano, that was a cherry on top. But it's an amazing place, I almost always pick this place for my birthday! read more

La Bella Pizza in Valatie is fantastic! The food is always delicious, and the service is great. Manager Gianluca is prompt, friendly, and makes everyone feel welcome. Highly recommend! read more

We frequent this place when nearby and it has just been excellent lately. I very rarely give a five star review unlike a lot of people. The meals and pizza are just fantastic. The service is great and swift. Very efficient operation. Shout out to my favorite waiter Zack..been taking care of us for over a decade. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great pizza and a good italian meal. read more

Charming little restaurant in the Hannaford shopping plaza. Started off with the Italian egg rolls. I thought they were ok , a little bland . Ordered the pear salad with house dressing . The salad was delicious and the house dressing was yummy. Kind of reminded me of thousand island meets balsamic vinegar . Next came a traditional medium cheese pie . I thought my hubby went to heaven . It was so good , thin crust and appropriate amount of sauce and cheese . We were a little disappointed in the cannoli with gelato . It was small and the cannoli was dried out. Service was fantastic . As we were leaving , they were preparing for dinner and they have the modern lamps that they put on the tables. Next time I would like to come for dinner and take in the ambiance. read more

La Bella Valatie - Front dining area with high tops. - Pizza Near Me - Valatie, New York

Lovely staff and a menu to satisfy anyone. This big, boisterous eatery caters to a local crowd that likes pizza, melted cheese, and sports on TV. But take a good look at the menu. . The orechiette with broccoli rabe is the real deal, with that bitter green served proudly on pasta in an excellent broth. Some decent wines to go with the pasta, too. All in all, they're serving some real Italian food, and betting you'll like it. read more

The food here is very good and the wines are reasonably priced. The service is inconsistent. On our most recent visit, we were a large party and ordered a pizza to go in addition to our meals. The waiter never brought that pizza out and we forgot about it until we got home. We called the next day and the waiter who served us was not nice about the situation. He told us to let them know the next time we are there and we could get a credit. It was an ambiguous offer and I will report back when we visit next time to see if they make good on this. I would hate to not recommend this place after having been a supporter for so long. read more

Ciao Bella food and service!! I eat here once a week and it is amazingly good each and every time!! Can't wait to see their new digs once they are built because the present location is a warm, inviting place! read more

Love the food/vibes & staff but had to remove a star for one repetitive crucial reason. I have ordered online from them for football sundays upwards of 7 times now and every. single. time. Without fail the veggie toppings are left off. The first 2 times we considered it a mistake, by 3,4 & 5 i made it a habit to check the pizza before taking a step towards the door and had to ask for our veg toppings. This last time i finally asked if the veg options don't show up online or on the chef receipt and saw with my own eyes they were on both. I have no idea what it is or why it happens but be warned. If you order Sunday and ask for a veg topping on your pizza you will not get it. Either that or we are truly the most unlucky patrons. read more

I was skeptical to try La Bella Valatie as it looked like another generic "Italian" restaurant with subpar food, but after seeing the high ratings I decided to give it a try. Well, I wish I trusted my instincts because the food was terrible. To put into perspective, I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and it was awful. To elaborate, the fettuccine was not homemade and definitely just boxed pasta. Furthermore, there was virtually no Alfredo sauce on the pasta and it tasted like I was eating butter noodles. I'm honestly not sure if there was any sauce at all on the pasta. It's honestly remarkable they charged $23 for such low quality food. You would think you would put some effort into your food, but I guess some restaurants just don't care. When it's all said and done, La Bella Valatie has terrible Italian food and their fettuccine Alfredo is probably the worst I've ever had. read more

Everything I eat in this menu is delicious! The service is great! The ambiance is very cute! I have had 14 different dishes and I love all but one. (I did not like the pork chops, maybe I wasn't in the mood) Great people, reasonable prices... everyone should eat here. Thank you read more

It's the quality. They do not skimp on quality. The food! The selection. The service. We eat there at least once a week. If you aren't bringing half your meal home, you're over eating! Dinners come with my favorite tossed salad. The soups and salads are terrific. Everything is homemade. The grandma's pizza is addictive. Best cup of coffee in town too. read more

Love the food! People seems friendly and professional. My only complaint: ordered food for delivery, person put food on porch, we never hears them knock (wife heard car door closed so we got up to go to the door which is less then 20 feet from where we were sitting) and when we opened the door we say person driving away. Glad we weren't out and got to the door. We live in the woods and there are tons of wildlife, so it is feasible that it could attract racoon theft. read more

we ordered online , my boyfriend went to to go pick it up. They said someone gave our order to somebody else so they redid our order. He had to wait literally 45 more minutes for them to re-create the order. not sure why they didn't know what was included in the original order under his name. My boyfriend assuming that the order was correct the second timecame home and it wasn't our order again. What a cluster F. They tried to say that my boyfriend confirmed the order. He wasn't even the one that order he was the one just picking it up under his name. After calling them and explaining the situation, they tried to give us a credit and they tried to blame my boyfriend because he confirmed the order, but he never actually placed the order. He was only the one picking it up.. read more

Terrible service. 45 minute wait to be seated for a reservation. Drink order not completely delivered and a member of the party had to chase down the sever. Food order scrambled and delivered a salad when soup was corrected. Checks were scrambled. They apologized and indicated they were slammed. The individual who identified as manager was hopeless. Good was good but service stunk. read more

Celebrated my birthday last night and ordered our favorite meals from this restaurant. I had a blast and enjoyed the food so much. Love the atmosphere, the food and the service. Their quality is amazing and I will go every time! Can't wait to go back! read more

Best Pizza we have found in the area! And we tried quite a few ! We love really good pizza! Spoiled after many trips to Italy and living in NYC were kinda picky! La Belle has the best pizza around and the prices are good too! I can't go by without stopping for a pizza to go. The other food all looks amazing and we keep saying we need to go sit down and have a meal but haven't yet- I'm sure we won't be disappointed !! Now I'm going in for my pizza now !! read more

The first time I went with friends to La Bella I was sure it was a small pizza place, it's in a strip mall with a coors light sign in the window. Imagine my surprise when I walked in to an actual real life restaurant. It's been the place we've been picking up pizza for a while because what I can get delivered is abysmal. It's worth the 40 minute round trip. We've stopped for lunch a few times while running errands. The food was good, it was convenient and enjoyable. This past Friday my daughter, sister and I went to dinner before the Kinderhook tree lighting. My daughter is disable and this was her first time in a restaurant since the shut down. The receipt said that Nate was our waiter and so I want to give him a huge shoutout. He'd waited on my husband and I a few times before and he was wonderful. My daughter was so excited she could barely speak but he took great care of us. We had spaghetti and meatballs, a pizza and a panini. The food was good but the service is what made it exceptional. read more

We have been coming to Labella's for years. We love their food! We were disappointed tonight. The wine was too warm, the salad was warm as if it wasn't refrigerated and the portion size for the chicken parm was what I would consider a lunch portion. We want to go back and we're hoping it was just a Monday night mishap. Hoping this review will allow for this to be better next time! read more

Always wonderful, always dependable, staff fantastic I eat here once per week and it never disappoints! read more

Have eaten here many, many times and have never been disappointed. A few weeks ago we had a 70th birthday party for my husband for 21 people and again we were not disappointed. As usual the service was fantastic. The people working there are amazing. Out of 21 different meals ordered, not one was wrong. There wasn't one of the guests disappointed in their meals. We've been back since and will continue to go whenever we want a good meal with a great atmosphere and wonderful service. By the way, the portions are big enough, that I always take home enough for a second meal. read more

Stopped into this local favorite today. Kind of last-minute decision. Was greeted with friendly faces and an energetic atmosphere. Zack and Crew were extremely friendly and polite. read more

Absolutely love the atmosphere here! We celebrated my birthday last night too- it's definitely one of the most upscale Italian restaurants in the area close to Schodack Landing. The candles, assortment of wine and delicious entrees are incredible. The Margarita and Grandmother pizzas are my favorite! I also loved the Shrimp salad! So good! The prices are a little high, but worth it! Best pizza in town and upstate! Would love to come back again! read more

we order from la bella because they deliver to us but after this I'm thinking we'll try something else. this pie was ordered as "extra well done" and should definitely be on them. awful. read more

We have eaten here in the past and I thought it was good. Love the house salad dressing. But tonight we got takeout and it was all downright delicious. Plain cheese pizza was so tasty. Pasta Fagioli is the real deal. So flavorful. Highly recommend that. Eggplant parm was also delicious. Everything we ordered was just what we wanted. Love this place. read more

Good pizza with good service. One of the few places that offer a real thick Sicilian. I like their everything, traditional pizza best. The Italian food is good also but a little pricey. read more

Great food - both dine in or take out. Service is always prompt and appropriate, even when it's busy (often the case!) Large portions of Italian favorites. Dining room is nice enough for special occasions- real table clothes etc. Concrete floors creat a bit more noise during busy times that can be hard for those with hearing issues. It is however wheel chair friendly! read more

Food is delicious as always. The owner stands behind his business and if anything goes wrong he fixes and amends.

Love this place. Comfortable and great food. I usually don't like it when wait staff does not write down orders but was impressed that everything came out perfect! We will be back. read more

Very good pizza, fairly priced, is professionally and accurately served consistently by lovely staff people. Hot Italian subs and squash blossoms are also vg! read more

I would give this restaurant 10 stars if I could. My husband and I have been eating here for years and the service and food are both excellent! I should have written a review years ago to show my support because they deserve it. read more

The place was deadass Le-Flame Although feeling like an outsider the ambiance was great. Felt like I was in Nonna backyard where she grows grapes for wine and cooks for a minimum of 13 people a Sunday night. After ordering the calamari I knew in my heart it was as fresh as opening up a brand new pair of Nike air force 1. The chicken Parm immaculate... There has to be a guy in the back makin the mozz fresh. The basil on the chicken tasted like it was Tuscan grown with a dabble of New York tap water. All in alll the chicken Parm was as good as can be. After the meal I asked myself, would I take a trip from the Bronx to eat here again? Probably not but I would definitely stop on my way Canada aka the 6 .... If you need a great Italian meal in the middle of no where. Pop out and pull up to La Bella's Pizzeria & Restaurants read more

Wonderful service and dinner for 23 following a golf outing at Winding Brook. Rodrigo was our waiter and he did an awesome job with our orders. He followed up with us and was very pleasant to work with. It was a Saturday night and even though there were people waiting, we never felt like we were being rushed. All staff was very pleasant. Definitely recommend LaBellas in Valatie in the Hannaford Plaza. read more

Not consistent . Ordered a pizza for takeout, same as two weeks ago. This time the pizza dough was totally dead, and tasted like cardboard. The toppings were good as before, but the lack of any rise to the dough made it inedible. I'll try 4 guys next time. read more

Once again, our LaBella's visit was outstanding! We celebrate our siblings' birthdays here, and each time, we are totally satisfied with the food and service. We ordered off the lunch menu from pasta fagoil, sandwiches to pasta dishes, and the food was plentiful besides very enjoyable ( delicious). Zach did an outstanding job taking care of us (as he Always does) . I brought in a cake, which he sliced and served us. Half of us had leftovers to bring home as we couldn't eat all of our meal. I also ordered a meat calzone and kids spaghetti & meatball to go, which every drop of both items were eaten. Valatie La Bella's deserves every success that comes their way! read more
