Shrimp Napoli, Pomodoro Bruschetta and Portobello & Sundried Tomato Lasagne are just some of the decadent delicacies on offer. Besides the array of Italian delicacies,flatbread and pizzas, the restau... read more

Terrific neighborhood Italian restaurant – I made a reservation here, and I am glad I did. It was honored immediately, and we were seated at an excellent table. Despite other reviews, this is not a particularly romantic place. However, it is very pleasant, and the service and food are truly outstanding. I had a waitress named Megan, and she made great recommendations (lobster ravioli and a unique creme brulee in particular). Both chef/owners stopped by our table, and we appreciated their interest. The ambience is mildly ener... read more

Great pizza, and best cannoli in Raleigh – I have been a satisfied customer of Bella Monica for many years. I love their flatbreads, and have never been disappointed when I chose one of their specials. But the best part of the meal is desert, as the cannoli and tiramisu are always fabulous! If you plan to go on a weekend, call early for a reservation, as this restaurant is very popular. If all else fails, call ahead and get a flatbread and cannoli to go.

Incredible Italian Food – Everything is here is GREAT! I have not had a bad dish here, ever! The Lasagna, Calzones, Fish, Appetizers, Salads, are all good. Even the bread they serve is some of the best I have had at a resturant. You can sit outside and enjoy yourself in the sun or sit inside and have a nice atmosphere. All of the staff are extremely nice. The servers are helpful, attentive, and a pleasure. The manager always makes a point of saying hello as well. If anyone complains about this place they are crazy. The way I... read more

Great spot for lunch – I've eaten here numerous times for lunch and I've never had a bad experience. The food is always excellent, fresh and consistent. The tomato, mozzarella and basil appetizer is simple and always fresh. I also like the salads and the flatbread pizzas. The only drawback of this place is that it is not very large, and even at lunch time you might have to wait unless you arrive before noon. The staff is always friendly, the host at lunch during the week always recognizes me, it is nice to go to a place wher... read more

Favorite Restaurant in Raleigh – I've simply never had a bad meal here. It's one of my favorite restaurants in the Triangle. The portabello lasagna is incredible, but I could make a meal just off the list of appetizers. Their evening specials are delightful and innovative. I've always had prompt and courteous service. The restaurant is small and intimate. Eight people at the table is about as many as one can hope to seat as a group.

Over-priced cheap ingredients – Our main problem was with the food. I had the spaghetti w/ meatballs, my wife ordered the lasagna. Our complimentary house salads were nothing more than plates of lettuce. The bread course was disgusting as well. They brought two giant cubes of bread that looked more like pound cake. They were set in a puddle of olive oil, and had oil poured over them. Typically, you are given bread to dip in a mixture of oil and vinegar at your leisure. This presentation was awful. My spaghetti was obviously ... read more

One of the BEST Italian restaurants in the triangle – What an enjoyable evening. We had reservations and were promptly seated. The waiter was very knowledgeable of the foods, drinks and specials. The entire staff worked together and it seemed all needs were met before we ask. The food was as flavorful as any I have had in the area. I can't wait to go back and enjoy another enjoyable evening.
