Food and service was amazing. I had the beer pretzel for an app and tortellini carbonara for dinner, just what I needed after a long cold day exploring the area. Our waitress was very personable and tentative. We were in and out with our bellies stuffed.

Great food, good service. What more could you ask for? I had the ravioli with meat sauce. 8 large raviolo with meat sauce, choice of Soup or salad (I had the white bean soup, yummy!). My husband had the lasagna. He enjoyed it. It was very cheesy. We will dine at Bella's again!

Me and my mother went from skiing on sugar mountain to eating at this lovely restaurant. It was only a 3 minute drive and we were seated immediately. The waitresses were very very accommodating and the portions were huge. Couldn’t have picked a better spot to chow down.

Visiting for a few days from Georgia for snowboarding and I was in the mood to get wings for dinner. I googled what was near and our shuttle driver at Sugar Top also recommended Bella's. Of course, we were a little skeptical. Wings at an Italian restaurant? I wanted to just place an order to go and the girl at the front was super friendly and took our order right away. We ordered Mild and BBQ wings as well as an order of calamari. (Weird combination, I know.) AMAZING! I cannot remember ever getting wings as big as these were from anywhere! The calamari was so good too! I only eat the rings and

We had gotten a pizza to go from Bella's on a prior visit. We are visiting the area again and decided to try dining in this evening. Valerie was our waitress. She was AWESOME!! She was attentive and friendly. She made the experience that much better. The food was delish. It was a big enough serving that we will have it for lunch tomorrow. I would highly recommend trying Bella's out if you are ever in Banner Elk, North Carolina. Ask for Valerie.

6:30pm on a Thursday ... 20 minute wait, and worth it!! Every table, inside and out, was full. Orders were going out the door as fast as they were being taken. All staff wore their masks properly. The bread was hot, with lots of garlic, butter and Parmigiano cheese. Our special request sauce for our del Mara was seamlessly executed, and delicious. When we left at about 8:20pm they were still full to capacity, and cranking out the TO GO orders. Every member of the staff was friendly and accommodating, which made this evening flawless. Thank you for your excellent service, Matt. You're on a great

We were able to walk in and grab a table for six really quick. The caesar dressing was a bit heavy handed on the salad but had good flavor.
The gnocchi was by far the best dish out of everything we ordered.
The chicken parm is good, a tad bland but wow, huge portions.
Also loved the cheese on the cheese ravioli. They are really stuffed which helps the creamy cheese flavor to come through.
Price is decent compared to other places.

I heard that the service is horrible. You don’t wash your hands, you tell at the customers and throw them out.

My favorite restaurant. I'm a wing man. I've had wings all over America but none compared to Bill's wings. Not to mention their Lasagna.
