A diner from savannah, GA
Oct 27, 2000
For being located in a little strip mall, the interior of Bella's is impressive, however, the ambience could still use a little sprucing up. I would definitely suggest the addition of some sort of music to liven up the atmosphere. The waitstaff also wears shorts and t-shirts - I think they could improve the overall ambience somewhat by dressing it up just a tad.
The food is ok, but not spectacular, and it didn't seem particularly authentic to me. The breadsticks served before your meal, for example, are very clearly the type you can buy in a plastic bag at the local grocery store - pop them in the oven and voila! On our two trips to Bella's, between my husband and I, we have had the Turkey Marsala, Chicken Parmigiano, Shrimp with Angel Hair Pasta and the Manicotti. The Chicken Parmigiano was very heavily breaded, as if they bought a bag of breaded chicken breasts out of the freezer section at Kroger. The shrimp with Angel Hair Pasta was not really all that impressive. I thought the Turkey Marsala was good. My husband also enjoyed the Manicotti. Their wine selection is small, but reasonably priced.
Overall, I would say this restaurant is average, but reasonably priced. But if you are looking for a great Italian restaurant with all of the ambience to boot, this is not it.
