Great service, tasty food, but not really worth the price tag. Also, the restaurant would really benefit from a more upscale location rather than in a cheap strip mall.

Great lunch! Was busy at lunch because its so good- worth the wait if you have a wait a bit. The bar was pretty open to sit in. The Milano salad is yummy with prosciutto ham and special cheeses!!! I also had the Ravioli for the main dish and that was the perfect serving. Clean restaurant and bathrooms. Friendly and... More

The St. Louis area is a tough market for Italian restaurants since the Hill is only 20 miles away and has the best Italian food this side of the Atlantic. But if you take it for what it is- American Italian food you won't be disappointed. The pasta dishes as well as the pizzas are very good. The atmosphere and... More

Reasonably priced and absolutely delicious food. Beautiful place, two locations now, (Edwardsville is still my personal favorite). Try the Pasta three ways, or the Beef Milano. And don't skip the House salad...its got bacon!!!

I WOULD AVOID THIS RESTAURANT LIKE THE PLAGUE...THEY ARE MORE INTERESTED IN MOVING YOU ALONG AND GETTING YOUR TABLE CLEARED FOR THE NEXT PARTY INSTEAD OF MAKING YOU FEEL WELCOME SO THAT YOU CAN ENJOY YOUR MEAL. ATMOSPHERE WAS BLAND...FOOD IS WAYYYYYYY OVER-PRICED (SPECIALS ARE A VIRTUAL RIP OFF PRICE-WISE AND THE SALADS ARE BROWN & WILTY) AND THE MANAGEMENT... More

Very large menu with something to please everyone! Food is good, prices are reasonable for what you get. We go fairly regularly. Love the salad, but marinades tend to be in it, which has a sweet flavor, can get a bit overwhelming. Their crusty Italian bread is phenomenal, but please serve it with real butter instead of margarine--seriously, for me,... More

If you go, get the salad and chicken spedini, you will not be disappointed. Normally, I can't afford a place like this, but join their e-club and get a free birthday and anniversary meal!

The bread and salads makes a trip to Bella worthwhile. I usually order the shrimp rosalina, and, unfortunately, the quality can be a little uneven.

I was recommended this place by a friend, and I was just not impressed. It was expensive for what is was and the food was just "ok". I would say Olive Garden is MUCH better (that's saying something), and you get more for your money. I really wanted to give this place a better review, but they did not earn... More
