This is one of my favorite local date night spots and I fear the day TikTok finds out about it. Whenever I need a last minute reservation where I know the food and service will be amazing, I come to Piazza Bella.The bread they bring you first is reason enough to go - I love the crunchy cheesy one. Their fried goat cheese blew our minds last time we went, that’ll become a regular order for me. I also get the farfalle every time because I’m convinced nothing can be better.The portions here are also huge and will usually last me for 2 additional meals, which is an extra treat!

Very bad experience. I don’t often write reviews but the manager was incredibly rude to us and the waitress was inattentive—had to ask for things multiple times. The food tasted fine but my husband ended up getting food poisoning all night after dinner.

Excellent food. Service was pretty terrible. Visited on a sunday evening and the restaurant was not terribly busy but waiter seemed to be the bartender as well. He rarely checked in and we waited a long time to place our order and waited forever for our check before we flagged down one of the other servers. They did not seem short staffed for how few tables were taken , but who knows. Overall very disappointed in the service but would go back and give them a try because the food is very good.

This was just bad from beginning to end. Bad (barely existent) service, bad food, crowded small and LOUD. I can tell someone probably thinks the food is decent but I cannot understand why it was so crowded. Bad Italian food for people who don't know better.

First time going back here in many years and the whole experience was excellent. The waitstaff, the food, and the atmosphere were all amazing. Will definitely return. The Scallops, Salmon, and eggplant appetizer were wonderful.

We've been here several times. Great food and always have had great wine. Only drawback was it was so noisy it was hard to hear each other talk. That said, we'll definitely return. It's a great option for a good drink and dinner without a ton of fuss. I do like the warm atmosphere as well.

Incredible food! The goat cheese appetizer was a huge portion - came with 4 people and we couldn’t finish it. Our meals also were great portion sizes. I had the gnocchi and I’m still dreaming about it.

Service was very poor. Had to reach out to staff for everything, from asking for the server after being seated 15 minutes, to reminding them to bring the drinks we had ordered 30 minutes prior.

Great dining experience. The food, service, and cocktails were terrific, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. Fresh, homemade pasta is so much better than boxed. The neighborhood is lucky to have Piazza Bella.

This is one of our favorite restaurants however last night's experience did not live up to our past visits. Service was VERY slow, although the restaurant was not crowded. The lasagna was drenched in oily cheese and not very tasty, however the made-to-order pasta was very good (farfalle with veggies and marinara sauce).

The food is great and we love the atmosphere. The service is also pretty good, however, management should really consider having a bartender at dinner service on the weekends when they get busy. Because there is no bartender, the servers seem to be responsible for making the drinks for their tables, so they spend a LOT of the time behind the bar. It is really difficult to put in additional orders for drinks and dessert because your server is stuck behind the bar, and when you do finally put in the order it takes a long time to receive the food. Last time we were there we waited 20 minutes after putting in our dessert order (for which we had to also wait until our server produced 3 cocktails for 2 different tables until she checked in to get the dessert order) before we got it and ended up asking to have it boxed to take home.No blame to the servers because we see them hustling, but service is slow when they are doing 2 jobs.

Our favorite Italian place in the neighborhood.. food is always amazingly delicious and the dining room is very nice and cozy. Service is for the most part good. However, because there is no bartender, the servers are responsible for making the drinks for their tables, so while our server is making various cocktails for another table, we are left waiting for a long time to put in additional orders (food, drinks, dessert) and longer still to get said order delivered. We don't blame the servers, because we see them hustling, but service would be much smoother if there was a bartender on busy nights.

Was here a few times. Most of the time I struggle to choose a dish and it was very nice of Sofia to advise me to go with agnolotti with alfredo sauce. This waitress is pretty attentive and always lifts up the mood. Adds to the meal! Wish such places had more such employees who really care and show up for their visitors :)
