    I was pleasantly surprised at how well this restaurant is run. Service was very attentive in spite of a very large Saturday night crowd. Bella was very good. The food was very good and the presentation made it even better. Three of us had steaks which were all done perfectly. Appetizers were all delicious from the soup to clams to caprese salad. Little things that you don’t expect. Half of grilled cheese sandwich with the tomato basil soup or a macaroon with your other desserts. I don’t mind paying for a meal when it is this good.

    Food was nice. Fresh calamari, flavors were great. Star of the show was our server, Mackenzie. Once we ordered, she took care of everything. First time I think, I didn’t have to ask for anything. We never had an empty glass, a dirty table or plates, and she always had a big smile.
