Crazy expensive and very poor management! by Live2eat on 2/28/2011 via Citysearch
We visited the Laskin location on Friday 2/25/2011. This was our first visit. We did not have a reservation but they seated up anyway. At first I was a little shocked at the menu prices but figured it would be worth the cost based on the…

Lousy and Scammed by obxdiner on 3/26/2010 via Citysearch
This review is for the La Bella Italia at 2133 Upton Drive, Virginia Beach - a sister restaurant I assume. What topped this experience off was being charged 2.00 additional for my lunch special than what was clearly printed on the menu.…

NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY!! by Dante T on 9/20/2009 via Citysearch
We are from Naples, Italy and know good Italian food. The food at Bella Italia is O.K. but the prices are ludicrous!! I can't believe American's pay these prices. Believe me when I tell you that you are all being taken advantage of!! Save…

Closest thing to the real deal...it's consistently good and always a favorite of mine. A couple of recommendations: Always ask for the portobello mushroom with smoked mozzarella and roasted red peppers because it is VERY good and not…

Best Pizza in Town by mcdigit on 7/12/2006 via Citysearch
The wood fired pizzas are fantastic. If you want pepperoni, you have to ask for it. It's not on the menu, just like in Italy. all of thier pastas are fresh made and the sauces are incredible. My favorite (besides the pizza) is the…

Finally tried it and can't stop talking about it! by jennifervb on 6/2/2006 via Citysearch
I came across La Bella Italia while doing a search for Italian baked goods. I read all the reviews but was worried it would be expensive so I held off on going to the restaurant. I should state that there is a bakery/deli and a restaurant.…

Solid Dinning Experience by jackkanakaris on 10/25/2002 via Citysearch
Great Italian food, with a little Italy atmosphere, just a solid dinning experience. Should be experienced by all.

Bella cucina by phollander2 on 8/22/2002 via Citysearch
Best Italian food in the area. A wood fired pizza oven is the only way to cook a pizza. Try it, you'll like it.

getting to Italy without a passport... by psychicsally on 8/22/2002 via Citysearch
If the deli doesn't impress you, you don't know Italian. The bar and cafe are pleasant but the dining area is my favorite. The food is excellent and the portions are large. No one can eat that much. I always have enough for another…
