My partner and I went here for our New Years celebration and we here extremely satisfied with the services. We ordered Alfredo and a margarita pizza and it was excellent. Our waiter, Nate did a fantastic job. He was attentive, polite and extremely professional. The inside of the place is gorgeous. I was very impressed with how busy they were on New Years. The food came in a timely manner, Nate made sure our needs were met, and we had a wonderful dinner. Will definitely come back. 10/10!

I REALLY wanted to give this restaurant 5 stars. The food was absolutely delicious. It came out hot, and cooked to perfection. The only reason I gave it a 2 was because of my server. We got to the restaurant on a Friday before the giant rush of customers. We were seated quickly and she came over and welcomed us , got our drinks and took our order. But as it became a little bit more crowded she came by maybe twice to check on us and refill our drinks. She brought our check to us but never came back to pick it up. The girl wrapping our left overs came back way before the our waitress. By no means

The first time I went with friends to La Bella I was sure it was a small pizza place, it's in a strip mall with a coors light sign in the window. Imagine my surprise when I walked in to an actual real life restaurant. It's been the place we've been picking up pizza for a while because what I can get delivered is abysmal. It's worth the 40 minute round trip.
We've stopped for lunch a few times while running errands. The food was good, it was convenient and enjoyable.

The place was deadass Le-Flame Although feeling like an outsider the ambiance was great. Felt like I was in Nonna backyard where she grows grapes for wine and cooks for a minimum of 13 people a Sunday night. After ordering the calamari I knew in my heart it was as fresh as opening up a brand new pair of Nike air force 1. The chicken Parm immaculate... There has to be a guy in the back makin the mozz fresh. The basil on the chicken tasted like it was Tuscan grown with a dabble of New York tap water. All in alll the chicken Parm was as good as can be. After the meal I asked myself, would I take

We usually go for lunch, but stopped by for dinner on a Monday night. Surprisingly, it was pretty busy..but the food was awesome and the service was excellent ... the cheese ravioli was very good and the pizzas were great and cooked perfectly. There was a lot of take out and deliveries going on along with a full dining room but the staff was very efficient and friendly. Labella's (Valatie) is definitely a great place to visit.

Ww got the limone chicken, veal parm sub, margarita pizza with pepperoni and a greek salad. Everything was great, the salad was the best part for sure. I just wish the limone chicken came with pasta and not a potato croquette because I was not a fan. But the chicken was tender and not overcooked / old like most places.

Very consistent and enjoyable. Food is wonderful and staff is even better. The crew that is here loves to work together and it shows. Nothing but positivity. Love the Sicilian pizza. House dressing is awesome. Every pasta dish is spot on. I don't know if it is the owner or the manager, but he has an Italian accent and has a mustache. He expresses appreciation and is gracious to each individual person who comes into his place of business and it is genuine. You won't be disappointed. Family friendly. Very extensive menu. Something for everyone.

I was traveling through New York and ordered delivery from here. I called before the delivery time started( I think it was 3:19. Delivery starts at 4 pm). But I was able to order still and got my meal delivered around 4:30. I'm very happy with the service I received. I got the pizza Bella Cacciatore I asked for extra cheese which seemed like I barely got any cheese instead. Pizza was so so. It was something different than what I would usually order. But let me tell you..... this pasta "Rigatoni la Bella" was literally the best thing I have ever ate. I was so amazed at the taste.

I've eaten here several times and the food and service have always been good. Last Saturday afternoon I called and ordered three pies to be delivered at a specific time that evening. The pizzas arrived hot and exactly on time. They were exceptionally good. We were 8 people and everyone loved the pizza but even better, I got to offer my friends a food they never had or heard of before: Italian Eggroll. Delicious.
Thanks La Bella!
Thanks La Bella!

Sicilian Cheese Grandma Pizza and Large pizza (1/2 mushroom) and salad!! Of course some of the folks had to get the tiramisu!! It all was perfect to celebrate the girls getting together!! Thank you for helping us to bond even more (if that's possible!)

Really good pizza, and in an area that's sorely lacking for other decent pizza options.
I ordered a large pie with mushrooms (fresh, not canned!) and hot sausage. The sausage was crumbled, which I prefer, but both toppings were applied a little sparsely.
The crust was very thin and a little on the plain side, but it had that nice touch of chewiness that I always appreciate. Although it was crisp on the edges, the middle of the pie got a little too soft and thin. The sauce was generously applied and had a slightly salty taste without too much other seasoning. The cheese was a perfect thin

I love this local eatery. Per my original one line review. I'd like to update that :-)
The service can be a bit slow if you are there during peak dinner rush.
Ok the food, well I only order a few items from the menu. Chicken Scarpariello, its by far my favorite dish on the menu, I'll order it every chance I get. Its a chopped (I think) chicken breast with penne pasta, red peppers, spinach, jalapeƱo and in a white wine sauce. Its got a bit of a bite, but its ooh so good. I usually ask them to kick mine up a notch, but it maybe fine for most of the mere mortals out there.

I really enjoy LaBella's and have been there dozens of times with friends (large group) in the past couple years. I generally would pick higher caliber restos, but for a large group, I find this a-ok.
There is something for everyone -- from really good pizza (plain to Margarita), spaghetti w/ clams, chicken different ways, an excellent large salad with shrimp, very good soups, panini, and homemade mozzarella.
They take care in preparing the food, and the friendly servers will steer you well if you ask, such as which is prepared in house. They're very accommodating, for example
