Bella Italia

Food was very tasty with large portions and I would give it a solid four stars. Service was disjointed and slow and worthy of only two stars. I had ordered a Greek salad which was large and tasty but was supposed to include Greek olives but none found. Chicken Parmesan was large and flavorful. Manicotti was also very good. Ravioli was Okay. Rigatoni with seasoned vegetables was also excellent and I thought the sauce had a nice flavor. The picture was taken after I added pepper. They have a variety of Greek items on their menu with plenty of choices. We had to ask several times for a variety of items including bread and drinks. We asked to be seated outside but we’re told all of the tables were reserved for prior reservations. An hour and a half later as we were leaving we noticed several of the tables still empty. It also seemed that they were turning away people well before the 9 PM closing time which was surprising given it was KY Derby night (delayed from May).

The service was 7/10. The food was great The location was great. The live music was great. The pricing might seem steep to some people but when you factor in the bridgeview with the lighting on the river and the live performances the price really isn't that steep.we were there on Valentine's day and the decorations were to suit and life performer was 10 out of 10. The quality of the food seemed perfect. The breadsticks and sauce were 12 out of 10, all the entrees were flavored wonderfully. This place seems to be a little undervalued in terms of the scoring out of 5 at least on Google reviews. Everything in the restaurant was clean, the place settings, the floors and the building in general. Definitely worth checking out. Attached are several photos and just know that a couple of the photos were eaten off of before taken. The climate in the restaurant was also perfect for everyone at our table, it was 28ish out side.

The food was good but slightly overpriced. The portions sizes were small to normal. The wait staff were accommodating. The decor is going for the Italian villa feel. The Restaurant is located along the Indiana side of the Ohio river which gives you a great view of the river. The outside seating is covered and gives it that extra charm. Overall I enjoyed the restuarant, I think it's a cozy little place with excellent river front dining.

My girl friend and I are there 8/6/2020. I had fettuccini alfredo, with shrimp added, and she had shrimp carbonara. We also had caesar salads. The salads were good- and huge! The two main courses, not so good. The bacon in the carbonara tasted like imitation, and the sauces on both dishes were bland. For the money, I would have expected much better food. It reminded me of Rocky's terrible food on their way out of business. The best thing I can say about our experience is that our server Jessie did a great job!

For a Birthday we decided to try this place, there were 4 of us, I ordered the Chicken Picatta, my friend Chicken Marsala, my husband had seafood raviolis, my friends husband hand Bolognese pasta. The chicken had no taste, almost like it was boiled then smothered in a white flour sauce also with no taste, the Marsala was like none we had ever seen or tasted, also no taste. The seafood raviolis were nothing to write home about, the bolognese was average. When we complained to the waitress, she said she would talk to the cook, she came back and said "He said he makes it the same way every night" We were speechless. The wine was $32 for a $9 bottle of wine, the only thing that was any good at all was the creme brulee . For the 4 of us the check was $220. No way this place can last, truly the worst food we have had on years.
