    Food = great Service = ok Ambiance = very nice. I wasn't a huge fan of ordering when you walk in, then go to your table (ok). The food, abd waiter service was good though. Ambiance was comfortable, not too loud, and it actually isn't a huge place upon first glance. But they have extra seating, including outside. The food... I ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara because it's a very rare dish to find in a lot of restaurants. It was a GREAT DISH!!! One of my top 3 Carbonara dishes since leaving Italy!! Everyone really enjoyed their food. Including the shrimp Alfredo, and the Mediterranean salad! I'll be returning

    Delicious hot & crusty bread with mozzarella cheese! The oil for dipping was lightly spiced. The marinara sauce for dipping was hot & tasty. We shared a 16 inch pepperoni & ham pizza sitting at a table for 2 along the window. This allowed a close look at the passing people and the busy-ness of the street. The pizza was really good! Terrific proportions of cheese & toppings! The crust was well-browned and crispy & light. Definitely a great pizza experience! The restaurant is small, but clean. Lots of customers were doing carry-out. -Comfortable vibe with lots of different kinds of customers.

    Good wood oven pizza. Loved that they had a gluten free option. My pizza was crispy and cheesy. I love a crispy oven baked crust. I liked the drink options too. You order at the counter the seat yourself, then the server will bring your food to you. Quick service and good food. Nice seating and an outdoor patio

    One of the better choices downtown, and they have better weekend hours than other restaurants. Kind of minimalist service, you order in the front and then they bring the food out. Pizza and pasta are good, as others have noted the portion sizes are a little modest, but the prices are commensurate. Besides, this kept me from leaving uncomfortably full as I am wont to be at most Italian-American dining establishments. Nice location and ambiance.

    Loved the window seat right inside the door, it was big enough to store our stroller under and the candles on the tables were a nice touch. The service was quick and servers friendly, and the food was delicious. My only complaint is the cheese bites cost. They were $11.50 which is on par with the entrees and the entrees were bigger and more filling. That being said, the cheese bites were delicious and the dipping sauce was great! Just a little pricy for what we got. Not sure if it's the type of cheese maybe being more expensive, but it was definitely delicious at least.

    Wow! What a hidden gem! The lasagna here reminded me exactly of the one we had in Florence, Italy, 34 years ago, which is still my favorite to date! Very light, yet super flavorful & filling. The flavors blended together just beautifully. It literally melted in my mouth! I also had the side salad with olive oil as my dressing and they had a huge selection of really yummy olive oils to choose from! We also ordered the pepperoni & sausage pizza & that was so very good, too! The crust was very soft & so homemade tasting. Also, enjoyed a delicious decaf coffee! Loved the decor with so many beautiful pictures of Italy & a live tv with footage of Italy! Prices were extremely reasonable, too! Service was excellent, too. You just order at the counter & they bring it out to you. Can't wait to go back again and bring the whole family!

    I was meeting friends here for dinner. We were asked to order before we were sat down and joined our party. I ordered the carbonara and side salad. I wanted blue cheese dressing for my salad and it wasn't a available and the young lady at the register recommended the house made Italian. After ordering we were directed to the restaurant recently opened private dining room which we were able to experience. It's cute but still a work in progress. The tin ceilings really fits in. The carbonara was really good and yolky with plenty of bacon with green onion for a pop of freshness. The pasta was toothsome and not mushy. The side salad wasn't stunning. It was just lettuce, carrots, tomatoes and red onion. And to my surprise a slice of avocado really didn't add anything. The Italian dressing was just okay. The price for the carbonara made this place a bargain, even if the portion was smaller than what I'm used too. It was filling but I still would have loved a slightly larger portion. I would definitely go back to try their other pastas.

    Seems to be one of the few restaurants in downtown Springfield that opens for Sunday lunch lol? I ordered a Lasagna entrée and Arugula salad. The salad was May special. It's size was too small even if considering I ordered half. The lasagna was not bad, especially the meat sauce was quite rich and savory. Also it came with some fresh baked bread. There was not much service. You need to order at the counter. The restaurant was not very clean. Indeed the floor and the side of plates were a bit oily, and the staff served with working gloves which had water on it.

    Pizza was slightly burnt, but it was SO good. Wish they had more sandwich options! Beautiful decor, quiet and clean space, reasonable prices, and respectful staff.

    Good service all around. I got the Mostaccioli. The pasta was good, the sauce had a really good,…read morestrong taste. Good portion too, so I had leftovers. I didn't get it baked, but turns out they can bake it in whichever cheese you'd prefer which is cool. We got fried calamari for an appetizer and it was tougher/chewier than normal calamari. This is a super small detail that I may be the only one that's annoyed by, but I felt like I had no leg room under the table because the extenders were in the way. I quite literally could not comfortably cross my legs.

    To begin, I'd like to note that our waiter was very good. This is where the positive notation ends…read more It took a while for the entree's to arrive. I'm ok with that if the food is good, and it was not. My wife order Chicken stisilli. The chicken was tough and was served in a watery soupy base. It should be a light creamy base. I ordered the Seafood Ravioli with Jumbo shrimp. The ravioli contained little/if any seafood. It was a mushy paste inside a pasta that was not quite done. The three shrimp placed atop the dish were literally the size of a quarter. In addition, it was way over cooked, to the point it could have bounced off the ground. The dinner salads were just ok. The salad was drenched, and the portions have become much smaller. At the end of the meal we did share our concern with the meal. The manager did visit the table and explained they have had some problems with staff. We use to love going to Bella Milanos years ago. This has been our third visit in the past couple years in hopes it would improve, but it has not. $130.00 before tip, for a truly awful food. We will not be back.
