If you are rating a place based on what the sign says they do, then Chicken Salad Chick gets all…read morethe stars. And just so we're clear, their chicken salad, served in many different ways, is absolutely FANTASTIC. You have lots to choose from, with chicken salad being the star of any show. If you fancy a sandwich, then you have plenty of options, ranging from croissant to toast and more. If you'd like your lunch as a scoop of chicken salad or other with some crackers, fruit, and/or veggies, then you're in luck. I'd suggest the Chicken Salad BLT (I did mine with fruit & nuts), served on toasted wheat and sidled up to a veggie cup. The sides are what you'd expect: mac 'n cheese, pasta salad, slaw, etc. or maybe a bag of chips. All of that is accompanied by a sugar cookie, and cookies make pretty much everything better. The freshness is there with everything. It doesn't have a pre-made taste, the fruit & veggies are crisp, and the sweet tea is just right. Even the service is first-rate, with someone actually asking to bus our table (it's so not expected) and we even got an extra cookie for a finicky kiddo. It feels and tastes like home, from a clean dining room (and restrooms!) and the service to boot. Great spot!

Bella Italia was not what I expected…read more And that turned out to be a very good thing. From the outside and inside, this is a bit of a hole in the wall. The kind of restaurant that is clearly filled with regulars who know exactly what they're ordering and probably don't need to look at the menu anymore. That can sometimes make a newcomer feel like they've accidentally wandered into somebody else's family dinner. Not here. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and we were made to feel right at home. I ordered the lasagna expecting the usual Italian classic. Layers of pasta, ricotta, mozzarella, and all the familiar ingredients I've come to expect. Instead, I was presented with a lasagna featuring a beautiful, creamy béchamel sauce. Béchamel. In my lasagna. That's the kind of sauce I expect to encounter in French cooking, not while I'm sitting in a little Italian restaurant in Mobile. But I'm very happy to report that Italy and France have apparently decided to put their differences aside. It was wonderful. Creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious. Not what I expected, but exactly the kind of surprise that makes discovering new restaurants so much fun. Bella Italia is a nice find. A little bit of a hole in the wall, filled with regulars, friendly people, and food that may surprise you in the best possible way.

While in Mobile for the 2026 ALACTE Conference, my wife, a coworker, and I stopped by Bella Italia…read morefor dinner on our first night in town. The restaurant was almost empty when we arrived, so we were seated immediately. The dining room has a basic, no-frills atmosphere, while the soft background music created a pleasant setting for dinner. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and offered helpful recommendations throughout the meal. Each entrée comes with complimentary garlic bread and a side salad. The salad was fresh but basic, and the garlic bread was warm but fairly average. They were a nice addition to the meal, even if they weren't particularly memorable. Every entrée arrived piping hot, which is exactly what you hope for with Italian food. My wife ordered the Cheese Manicotti, substituting Alfredo sauce for the traditional marinara. The ricotta and parmesan filling was rich and creamy, and the Alfredo sauce paired well with the pasta. She thoroughly enjoyed her meal. My coworker and I both ordered the Spaghetti with Meatballs, adding meat sauce for even more flavor. The meatballs were tender and generously sized, the spaghetti was cooked perfectly, and the combination of homemade marinara, meat sauce, and parmesan created a hearty, satisfying plate. The portions were generous, and the entrées were easily the stars of the evening. Pros * Immediate seating * Friendly, helpful service * Complimentary salad and garlic bread with every entrée * Entrées served piping hot * Generous portions * Flavorful pasta and meatballs * Good value Cons * Basic ambiance * Salad and garlic bread were average Bella Italia isn't trying to be a trendy, upscale Italian restaurant. Instead, it focuses on serving hot, comforting Italian classics with generous portions and friendly service. The appetizers may be simple, but the entrées deliver where it matters most. If you're looking for a dependable Italian meal in Mobile, Bella Italia is a solid choice.

10/10 -- We'll definitely be back!…read more My husband and I don't eat pork, so we were excited to try the Muffanotta, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. It was delicious and made with some of the best bread I've ever tasted. I also ordered a bowl of chili, which was hearty, flavorful, and generously packed with beef. We're not usually soda drinkers, but we decided to try the house-made root beer, served in a frosted glass. It was incredible--rich, refreshing, and unlike any root beer we've had before. The kind gentleman who took our order was genuinely delighted to see how much we enjoyed everything and even surprised us with a second root beer on the house, which was such a thoughtful touch. The little market was another highlight. It was filled with unique, wholesome products, many of which are sourced from the community's farms and workshops around the country and the world. It made for a fun and interesting shopping experience. And whatever you do, don't leave without trying the sweet potato pound cake. It was easily one of the most delicious desserts I've ever had--moist, rich, and completely unforgettable. Between the outstanding food, warm hospitality, and unique atmosphere, this was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

On one hand the ingredients all looked and tasted fresh and there are lots of toppings to choose from. On the other hand, rice is pennie's cheap and most of your bowl consists of rice. I opted for spicy tuna for protein and they only place a small amount (but it was indeed very tasty), so it seems you're paying $10-11 for mostly rice. The gyoza was ok, not my fav.. I prefer the authentic dumpling wrappers to the egg roll type that they used. I did get a green tea boba and it was delish. I'll be going back for more of those for sure. So 4 stars for boba tea and fresh topping ingredients, docking one star for paying mostly for rice and meh gyoza.
