    Korean Wings
    Eduardo D.

    After a night out shopping, we decided to order from one of favorite pizza places, Pizza Bella in Palatine, IL. They are located in the downtown area. You can dine in but decided to get take out. Online ordering was very easy. Pickup time was on point. The food practically came out of the oven to our hands. Staff were friendly. We ordered the following: Toasted Ravioli, Cheesy Breadsticks for appetizers. Detroit Stlye Pizza - half cheese and half Green Peppers and Onions, Large Chicago Style Thin Sausage, Korean Style Chicken Wings, Minestrone Soup, and Bolognese Spaghetti. Toasted Ravioli has a nice crisp and taste, filled with cheese. The Cheesy Breadsticks were ok, it could have used some butter or seasoning on it. The soup came in and was filled with veggies and the soup hit the spot on a cold night. The wings were good and not overdone, the sauce was good but not great which is what we expected in ordering Korean wings at an Italian pizza joint. The Bolognese Spaghetti was saucy, cheesy and baked. The ground meat was good and tangy. They also add some shredded beef which is a little different that we are used to. On to the main event. They do a Detroit Pizza really well. The sauce is sweet, the dough has that crisp and softness to it and the burnt cheese edges - yum! The thin crust crunchy and cooked to perfection. Pizza is so good, I had to stop my family wouldn't get any. lol. If you are in the area and want some really good pizza, stop by Pizza Bella, a Palatine staple.

    Great restaurant to sit inside or call for pickup. We enjoyed sitting outside on a warm summer day and ordered a mixed green salad that is enough for at least 3 people, toasted ravioli, and topped with The Papa pizza. The Papa is Italian Beef, garlic, and hot giardiniera. The giardiniera is truly spicy, so if you don't like it, get something else. The crust was perfect and it wasn't greasy at all. The portion of the salad was enough for a full table of 3 or 4, honestly. The location in downtown Palatine is new, and now they have seating indoor and out. It's really nice and inviting. They also have other Italian dishes. Honestly, the photos online doesn't do it any service. The food looks so much nicer in real time. I saw folks order dinner entrees and thought to myself how I have to order an entree next time. They're also known for their Detroit style pizza, so I'll get that next time. This was a great place and have found my new pizza spot.

    I really enjoyed eating here. Its just a really cool pizzeria. We ordered the detroit style pizza and chicken wings and it was amazing - everything about the crust, and its toppings. I can't wait to go back for more. We also had a chopped salad which was huge! You can share it with 4 people. The starter bread when you sit is delicious, and italian bread and focaccia served with butter and spreadable garlic. Cool vibe in DT Palatine. Highly recommend.

    Screw in pizza

    We've been going to Pizza Bella for a couple years now and their pizza has always been great. Unfortunately the last time we went, I bit down and hit something that felt really hard inside my pizza, at first I thought it was a bone but when I took a closer look it was a screw. A metal screw had been baked inside the dough of our pizza. Luckily I didn't break my tooth on it. After this I had to call the pizzeria, I had to wait a couple days until they opened because they don't have any other contact info besides the restaurant number. Once I got a hold of the manager Liz she seemed very apologetic, told us to send pictures and they would get it figured out. We sent the pictures and heard nothing, so I called again the next week. On this phone call I mentioned that the most reasonable thing would be to get a refund on this pizza since there was a screw in it, this is where she started to insinuate we put the screw in the pizza. She continued talking about how they checked their kitchen and no screws were missing and that they triple check the quality of their pizza. Obviously they don't check the quality because a metal screw showed up (and it wasn't from my house because we checked as well - we also didn't bake the pizza, they did). After this conversation she said this was a complicated issue and she would have to check with the boss regarding a refund. She said she'd call us back, she didn't so now we're here. I didn't want to make a negative review because we'd like to go back and eat there but.. the way this was handled was very disappointing. So if you get a pizza from here, double check that it has no screws in it.

    The Brother Marc Detroit Style Pizza. It is phenomenal!

    Thin crust pizza was decent, but the Detroit style was out of this world! Loved the sauce on top. Also really liked the meatballs

    "A wonderful 'going away' meal for my daughter before her move back to NYC! We visited Bendita…read moreCocina around 1 PM and were seated right away. The mushroom and butternut squash soups are both amazing--highly recommend tasting both if you're with a friend! My daughter loved her Caprese sandwich, and I'm so glad I asked our waitress, Juliette, for her favorite empanada pick--the Spinach and Cheese was the absolute correct choice. My husband loved his Chef Zee chicken salad, too. Service was timely, professional and friendly. Got daughter to airport on time, Thank you. We will be back,

    I wanted to take out my Valentine out for a nice dinner so I set up a double date with my friend…read moreand his valentine. I decided to make 7 pm reservations for our favorite Argentinian Restaurant! It was easy and painless to make. A quick call. Driving to the restaurant, I was expecting it to be jam packed as the restaurant eating area is small and cozy. As we pulled into the parking lot, my hunch was confirmed. The parking lot was full and we can see people outside. We arrived a couple minutes before 7 and when I walked in, I had to work my way through people waiting to be seated. The staff was non stop busy and was in and out of the kitchen. Based on how packed it was, I knew it reservations would not be on time but for how long? I checked in and the staff member told me that a 4 top was just finishing, and it is ours as soon as they are done paying - 15 -20 minutes at the most is what he estimated. 15 minutes later, we were seated. I was happy considering how busy they were and the communication was great. We received heart shaped bread and water immediately and that was nice. They usually have breadsticks so I loved the touch of the shaped bread. The staff took a little while to get our food order, my guess was it was to pace the kitchen and the wait staff. It was ok cause we had great company at the table. We got our order in and the server was great and apologized for the wait and we totally understood. My wife and I shared a meal. Two empanadas and their cheese lasagna. My friend got calamari to share and ribeye steak. His wife got the pasta with shrimp. The appetizers came out in a timely matter, hot and fresh. The empanadas are homemade (spinach cheese and capreses). The crust is the make it break for empanadas and it was good as usual. The main course meals came out and they already split our meal which was unexpected and great service. The steak looked scrumptious and the pasta looked well dressed. As for as our lasagna, the amount of sauce was well balanced, the flavor of the tomato cream sauce had a nice tang to it, it was not loose or too thick. The pasta was tender and the parm, ricotta, and mozzarella was cheese had the right amount of each and topped with shaved parm. I loved it and would get it again. I'm a pescatarian but when I saw my friend's ribeye, I just had to try a slice. And did I make the right choice. The meat was tender and was cooked to the right temp. The chimichurri was delicious and pairs well the steak. What's Valentine's Day without sweets! We ordered Tiramisu and Flan Con Dulce De Leche to share and they were solid choices. Both were good and very tasty. The sizes were perfect to share although I would have made room to eat both of hem to myself. The overall experience was great considering how busy it was. The staff were exceptionally friendly and kept that excitement of serving the customers knowing how busy the restaurant was. I highly recommend this place do far, the friends were have dined here with has come back multiple times. They would send my text messages with pics of them dining. I always respond, "did I miss the invite?"
