I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bella Fonte Italian Restaurant, and it exceeded my expectations in every way! 😍🍝 From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly hostess and staff dressed in clean, matching uniforms—setting the tone for an amazing dining experience. The dining room is spacious and inviting, perfect for any occasion. 🪑✨ The menu is huge! 📜🤩 It features classic Italian dishes but also some fun Mexican-inspired items, like burritos with rice and beans 🌯🌶️—which looked amazing. I decided to stick with Italian, as Bella Fonte came highly recommended by Shade over at Firestone. My waitress was not only professional but also super friendly 🥰, promptly bringing me my drink and some fresh bread with marinara sauce to start. 🍞🍅 What a treat! I ordered the manicotti, and let me tell you—it was incredible! 🤤❤️ Generously portioned, the manicotti was layered over a bed of spaghetti with meat sauce, creating a flavor explosion. The side salad 🥗 was fresh and crisp, and the timing was perfect—just as I finished my salad, out came my main course, served piping hot (be careful, lol 🔥). For the price, this is hands down the best Italian food I’ve had in years. 🥇🇮🇹 Bella Fonte delivers on quality, service, and value. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu. Highly recommend! 👏🍽️

The best Italian restaurant in the area - hands down! The sauces and cheeses are divine! Large selection on the menu. Clean restaurant. Friendly service. Never will I set foot in another proclaimed Italian restaurant ('-lini' or "OG" again.) I've been here 3 times now and everything was delicious! The photos are the fried ravioli (appetizer, ordered everytime!), Chef salad to share (ordered twice now (the meat/cheese rolls alone are awesome), Lasagna, the Raspberry Jelly Donut Cheesecake to go (OMG!) and the Catalina Florentine. All for a little over $50. You won't get the quality or flavors at the other places. Delight your taste buds and give this place a try!

Food was just ok. I had the steak and lobster ravioli special for $25. It was just ok, certainly not worth $25. The steak was a mediocre cut and pretty much on par with a Denny's. The best thing at the table was the bread, it was hot and fresh with a nice (albeit slightly acidic) marinara. The baked potato was served with a cheap "whipped spread" instead of butter. That's pretty much in keeping with the rest of my plate. 2 stars. Post review update: I conferred with my wife who got the Catalina Florentine, I had her leftovers and it was really really good and very reasonably priced so I may have just gotten a bad dish.

We went here for the first time and it wasn’t the best experience. We honestly should’ve just went to O Charley’s. We waited PROBABLY 1-2 hours.. to even get our food.. They are most definitely understaffed (much like the rest of America) and trust me, I get that. But if you only have 4-5? waitresses with 100? or more people, you’ve got to cut back on seating or something! Absolutely ridiculous wait time. We did go on a Saturday, so the timing may have been worse, but should not matter. Food was good, but once it finally arrived, we asked for boxes and left.

Always had nice waiters when we visit here. I'm a big fan of the cheese raviolis with Alfredo sauce (the sauce is super rich and creamy, my favorite part of the restraunt). When we get dinner there they serve bread sticks and marinara sauce as an appetizer and then a salad with our meal. I enjoy the caesar salad, it's always fresh and has a good amount of cheese and croutons. Overall nice place to have lunch or dinner at when you want something more upscale then fast food but still desire to have the food come out quick. Never had to wait for a table.

Wanting Italian for lunch and always been a little scared of this place because of the size of the menu (Italian and Mexican) decided to give it a shot and I as so happy we did. The service was amazing, friendly and prompt. The food was equally amazing with the star being the fried ravioli. While I liked everything, I did find the bruschetta a little overwhelming and would suggest it only if you are a fan of the over garlic style of the dish. Definitely a do again choice.
