Bella’s Place Roatan — Restaurant in Isla de Roatán

We were really looking forward to this restaurant, my friend even knows the owner and recommended this place but what we got was a huge small disappointment. Small because of the portions of the food, huge because we felt like none of the foods we ordered was really at level I would expect from italian restaurant. Maybe it was because Bella, the owner was not there, I dont know… however: jalapeno peppers with cheese - not baked enough, the pepper was very raw. The lady who served us the peppers even told us that she didnt cook it properly so that we have it earlier the soup (minestrone) was more like the filling you put on spaghetti (combination of tomatoes from can and beans) and it was such a small portion that we had to laugh about it the shrimp pasta had so much oil that even while writing this review I have a stomachache. It was some kind of asian noodles made with a lot of oil plus some shrimps put together on one plate… chicken fetuccine - tasted as if it was from school canteen. My friend feels sick after eating them

The point Im trying to make is that the food was disappointingly small and did not taste even average - it was really below average. The waiter who at the same time cooked the food was also very strange - we were not sure if it is her natural self or if she had some drinks or drugs before or if she was overworked but…overall it made a really strange experience. We came for dinner and we...

My husband and I took our parents to Bella’s for the first time on Monday. We had the most wonderful experience. Bella greeted us at the door and welcomed us into her restaurant as if she had known us for years. We chose to sit up on the deck, which has the most incredible view of the ocean and enjoyed the sunset. The grounds at Bella’s are gorgeous, including a pool where you can swim if you choose, lovely gardens with homegrown fresh herbs, and an eclectic collection of books, which she gives to anyone who would like to read them.

The food was Bella’s crowning jewel. Everything is fresh and homemade, utilizing ingredients grown in her gardens. We sampled some different items on the menu, including blue cheese and date crostini, fettuccine alfredo, lion fish cakes with Thai sauce, and of course, one of Bella’s fantastic pizzas. The key lime pie was the best I’ve ever had. Our experience was phenomenal and our parents can’t stop talking about it! I highly...

My husband and I enjoyed an amazing two days at Bella’s Place for a very romantic Valentine's Day five course dinner. Bella and her staff (Rocky and several others) went out of their way to make us feel so special. We stayed in Bella’s casita for the night and then in the morning we were treated to coconut bread french toast with black berries and great coffee. Her restaurant encourages people to stay for the day to lounge poolside in her plunge pool, enjoy some quiet time reading while in a hammock or bring out games to play on one of the tables. There are multiple levels with several nooks all with amazing views to enjoy her wonderful menu. The Valentine’s dinner was our second time there, and the food there was great both times that we visited. If you are on a cruise ship, make this place your stop for lunch, but plan on being there for 2 hours to enjoy the view. We live in West End and definitely recommend coming up for the day and...
