we had a lovely experience at Bella Napoli. the patrons in the bar area are super friendly too
the bartender was a bit busy, taking care of to-go orders kept getting in the way of servicing the bar customers
the place was super busy on a Tuesday evening, so that says a lot. also I think the restaurant's been around for decades
the clams in the white sauce are garlic and oil are amazing. shrimp scampi was delicious, the stuffed mushrooms were teeny tiny but we were told that is not typical. a stuffed veal was just okay, had a little too much bread crumbs and the gravy was too sweet... too much sherry perhaps?
the red sangria with fig vodka is a delicious!

Solid Italian spot in Bloomfield! Food was great and the drinks were strong and delicious. The service was really good too. As you can see we tried a lot of different items, but as usually, I'll only speak on what I tasted. Initially the bread came, as is tradition in Italian restaurants. There was a lot and I really liked that there were two kinds (traditional Italian style and what appeared to be a sourdoughish). The hard Italian was much better than the sour dough. The calamari was decent. It wasn't the cheap rubbery kind, but it was slightly to salty and could have used more marinara. The stuffed mushrooms were good too. I felt that the portion was a bit small, but they were very tasteful! Also got the garlic bread as an app, very crispy, very garlicky which I enjoyed. I personally got the chicken parm, but switched from marinara to vodka sauce - I always feel like if they offer that switch they are legit. It was delicious! Chicken was crispy and lite. The vodka sauce very much out did the marinara in my opinion; one of the better vodka sauces I have had. It was creamy and just perfectly filling. The pasta that came on the side (all entres have it by the way) was cooked perfectly - nice and al'dente! I also liked that the sauce stuck to the pasta which is important to capture flavor. I tried the chicken franchise and it was very good. While I felt the portion was smaller than I would have liked, I cannot complain because it was just that tasty. Full disclosure, I didn't try the other two dishes, but the others I was with appeared happy. We also got two desserts, the tartufo and the lava cake - I didn't eat them but they looked good. I had the espresso and it was fantastic. Last thing, the drinks were well worth it, had espresso martini, a bourbon drink and cosmopolitan. All strong and worth the price. Speaking of prices, you won't break the bank here - everything was fairly priced! Overall I am giving Bella Napoli a 4.25 put of 5.
We were originally going to another restaurant with a party of 14 that drove over an hour. when we got there they said they couldn’t accommodate us a friend of ours made a call and SO glad she did. By the time we got there (15 minutes later) they had a separate area set up for appetizers and drinks while I table was being set up. The staff, atmosphere, the food and drinks were amazing. Restaurant Itself is gorgeous and has many room to accommodate various size parties or a quiet dinner. I highly recommend you give them a try so can experience what we did. Maybe you will see us there as we WILL be coming back
Nice atmosphere. Good for events/ parties. Decent prices Food was ok; MORE seasonings Please! Really liked the canoli and the fig cocktail.
We went here by mistake and the manager was kind enough to seat us on a busy night Valentines Day. The food was good from the appetizers to dessert
I've had many different dishes here, the food is always delicious. Sal and his staff are always very friendly and accommodating to my needs. I've booked a bridal shower and baby shower that were fantastic also. All of my guests were complimenting how great everything was, definitely a 1st class restaurant.
A family member gave me a gift card here and I'm so happy they did. The food was excellent and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. Wonderful spot for a date night. I'll definitely be going back!
