Bella LuLu's — Restaurant in New York

Ocean Bay Community Development Corporation has had the pleasure of working with Bella Lulu’s since December 2023, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From our inaugural fundraiser to a company lunch, our Sneakerball Gala, and an upcoming celebration on June 21, 2025, Karen and her team have consistently delivered excellence—every single time.

Whether serving an intimate lunch or catering for a crowd of 100+, the food is always fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. People are still talking about her salmon and meatballs—so much so that Ms. Amber Anderson, who normally doesn’t eat salmon, went back for seconds! Karen also offers a variety of delicious vegan and vegetarian options that are thoughtfully prepared and equally crowd-pleasing, ensuring that every guest feels considered and cared for.

What truly sets Bella Lulu’s apart is not just the exceptional food, but the experience: top-notch customer service, attention to detail, timely delivery, and a genuine commitment to making every event special. Karen is generous, responsive, and brings warmth and professionalism to everything she does.

We wholeheartedly recommend Bella Lulu’s for any occasion—big or small. If you’re looking for incredible food, flawless service, and a caterer who delivers every time, don’t hesitate. Visit her storefront or book Bella Lulu’s for your next event—you won’t be...

I had planned a mini surprise birthday party for my Mum. The plan was to take her for a nice Italian dinner but instead cater it at her new home with friends and family. Karen Calle was so helpful in planning a well-rounded dinner which made me feel at ease since it was the first time I hosted a party. She was attentive and caring in helping me make the event special. The delivery was on time, informative and discreet. My Mum was so surprised! She loved the food and the guests were beyond happy. They ate so much, they barely had room left for cake! (Most had to take cake home for later 🤣) Everyone was over the moon about the food. The portion sizes were ample for half trays which fed 11 people. Plus we had some leftovers to tide me over for a day or two which was great! I was happy with everything especially since it was my first time trying the food at Bella LuLu's. They did not disappoint! I highly recommend them to cater any event. Karen Calle and the delivery team are wonderful. I'm so glad I found them. They really helped make my Mum's 65th birthday dinner...

Omg! My husband googled Italian food for catering, for my son's 16th birthday event this past Saturday. Due to a cancellation, it was last minute so we were so nervous not knowing what we were going to get especially without having the opportunity to taste the food prior to. After seeing how many 5 start reviews Bella had, we said there's no way she can fail us. Her reviews are amazing and so correct. Every single person loved the taste of the food. From the chicken Franchise, to the rice balls, spinach balls, meatballs, penne ala Vodka, plus more. It was amazing, take my advice this is definately the correct choice to go with. We will definitely being using her again, along with going into the restaurant to enjoy more meals. Not only was the food great, her service was just as loving and sweet as could be. We sure made the right choice, and we are all so very happy we did. Thanks Karen, you're the...
