Quiet and elegant, Bella Napoli is the kind of place that could be your home away from home - smells of spices and homemade cooking ll the air while a friendly and knowledgeable wait staff bends over backwards to cater to your every need. For twenty-five years was a star apprentice of Enzo Enzo, one of the most renowned chefs in southern Italy.
During that time, he not only mastered the cuisine, traditions, and recipes, but also learned the most jealously guarded secrets of Neapolitan cooking. Everyone can find something that will please their palate. Choose from the extensive selection Lunch offerings include delicious salads and sandwiches along with a wide selection of luncheon entrees.

Fantastic fresh Italian made to order.
I've dined there and delighted in delivery.
Both inside and at home have been the same quality.
I love the Marsala. Excellent. I have had the seafood pasta too. The fresh ingredients and immediate cooking bring all flavors together.
Highly recommended gem.
Thanks.

I lived in Italy for 13 years so i can honestly judge food very well. The initial salad that came with our large pizza order was good (3 1/2 stars) the bread was nothing special as it tasted like "Wonder bread" (2 stars) the pizza had no taste at all and would not order it again (2 1/2 stars) the Tiramisu was very tasty and really good (5 stars). Service was ok nothing special.

We had groupon so we stopped here for lunch. It’s a small place located in a cute neighborhood. It wasn’t too busy on a Sunday afternoon. The waitress was friendly and the service was great. We ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer, gnocchi and tortellini in cream sauce and Italian cheesecake for dessert. The food was pretty good and tasted fresh. The cream sauce was good too. Portion sizes weren’t bad, good size for lunch. Looking forward to going back and trying other dishes.

This is a cute mom and pop place. The food was good (not spectacular, although we made some boring orders) with good portions at a fair price. The sangria pitcher really does the trick. But it was the service that stood out. Ask for Pablo. Phenomenal waiter.
Would be great to dim the lights and add some candles on the tables. Too bright which really hurts any potential ambiance. Also really need heaters for the patio.

I have purchased a coupon on Groupon for $60. The coupon consisted of 2 appetizers, 4 entrees, and 2 desserts. So, I went yesterday with my two daughters. The waiter took our drink order. I ordered a coke, my youngest daughter said, "I'll have the same." He didn't respond, he just gave her a rude look. So, I assumed he didn't hear her. I said, " he didn't hear you hunny." She said I'll have the same. He still didn't respond. So, I said that she will have the same as me, a coke. After I said that he acknowledged me and said coke. However, he came

My wife and I ordered Chicken Parmigiana and Shrimp, Scallop, and Muscles linguini entrees, a prosciutto and mozzarella starter, and a cheesecake for dessert. They were all very fresh and delicious. The staff were kind as well. The restaurant was clean. I would definitely recommend this local restaurant to anyone!

We love going to Bella Napoli, especially for Sunday lunch when it's very quiet. Oscar the Chef is always so personable and friendly. We just returned from a 3 week trip in Italy and his food is definitely on par, but his Tiramisu the best I've ever had! Our favorite appetizer is the bruschetta.
We love his Pizza, it's super good! The best around!
Had a "Small" Calzone pizza (picture) this past weekend and it was amazing.

I am shocked by the positive reviews. I want to support local restaurants and do not write bad reviews lightly. Honestly, the food was appalling and near inedible. The chicken in both dishes was flavorless and the sauce in the chicken francaise was lemon water. Zero flavor. You could practically just picture the noodles sitting in hot water and then someone threw rubber on top. The chicken piccata had no capers in it and similar water sauce issues. The salad looked like something they give monkeys at the zoo. Alfredo was equally bad. I just can't believe they would send these dishes out the door

I rate an Italian restaurant off the chicken piccata. The piccata here was below average. I could taste chicken broth. The chicken had no flavor and the pasta sat in the piccata sauce. I use the term sauce loosely.There was no buttery or lemon taste to the dish. Piccata doesn't come with mushrooms and this did. It's not worth your time or money if you're looking for good Italian food. I did eat all of the food because I didn't have lunch today.
It gets two stars because it was nice outside, and they allowed my dog to lay down next to me while I ate. The inside of the restaurant

Great homemade Italian cuisine, excellent menu and friendly service! We were served a fresh colorful green salad, sliced hot bread and butter, delicious Gnocchi with meat sauce, Shrimp with marinara sauce, and list of Italian Wines to choose from. Highly recommended when you're in the Alexandria and Washington DC area.

Good food fast service. Calamari and our dinner came out really fast. Bread and salad was good. Fresh bread and salad had fresh apples with enough dressing to make it good.
Ice tea was flavored well and good. Over all everything was good and very fast. We will come back again. Service are great here. Fast and prompt!!

Went to a late night dinner at Bella Napoli with my roommate. They have a nice little patio seating area set up in front of the restaurant.
Waiter brought out some bread and butter - nothing special about the bread that was brought out. The garden salads which was ok, dressing was similar to a ginger dressing you'd find at a japanese place. We started with the calamari on a bed lettuce it was crispy but the actual calamari itself was very small, maybe the size of a nickel or quarter. I completely forgot to take photos as I was enjoying my conversation at the time. I ordered the pescatore

Great service, great pizza, great people. I've never had any issues with the food here and it's been mainly pick up or delivered via Uber eats. Would highly recommend this place if you want some decent pizza compared to numerous other places. Support local business and eat here, I will definitely be coming back more often when I need a pizza fix.

We waited last minute to try to find a decent place to eat last Christmas Eve and came across Bella Napoli. It did not disappoint! The gnocchi was cooked to perfection and was covered in a true Italian sauce. I ordered the tiramisu to-go, which I thoroughly enjoyed as well.
Since that visit, we've ordered takeout and it was just as good.

I love this neighborhood restaurant. It's wonderful to come into a place and they know who you are and can make great suggestions every time. I love the food. It's yummy and has a nice family feel, the pizza is amazing. The crust thin and crispy. The whole staff is A+ and I love that even children know them.

Places like this makes it worth it to go out and test out new spots. I found this thru a groupon. A 3 course meal for 2 minus the wine.
It was a small little spot but was comfy. They waiter was very helpful and made sure our glass of Sangria was full.
I had the salmon in wine sauce. The flavor was not so bad. I did enjoy that mussels as an appetizers. That's as pretty yum. I almost didn't share but I was nice.
The tiramisu was perfect. That over sweet not to much brandy.
