Great food & fantastic service – I had my first meal at Bella Monica this evening and I will without a doubt be back. My boyfriend and I had the shrimp special appetizer (unbelievably delicious), stuffed shells, and the meat lasagna. Although we had to wait a while for our meals to cool down enough to eat (which is really not a complaint), we had a wonderful dinner. Our server was friendly and attentive, the food was outstanding, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and amount of food we received. I can't wait... read more

Little Italy NYC caliber food (espc the baked ziti) with service well beyond Little Italy – We're NYC natives and have been to Bella Monica twice -- in our view this is the closest you're going to get to Little Italy in Raleigh. The Baked Ziti is truly to die for: served in its own mini casserole dish with the cheese still bubbling when it hits your table. The Lasagna is similarly stellar. Pizza is one of the best in Raleigh. The number of specials that they had tonight (Saturday) were mystifying. They had 3 or 4 appetizer s... read more

not so much as an apology for hair in food. – I find this restaurant to be a little over rated and always felt there was a generally self inflated attitude on the part of the staff. The pizza and salads are good. Some of the entrees are very good. The prices are fair to high. They are typically very busy and the place is small so it can be difficult to get a seat. Maybe their success has led them to believe they don't need to apologize when a customer eats hair along with a bite of "grandma's cake". Maybe they figure it is n... read more

Friendly Family, Wonderful Food – I am a great cook, but the food served up by the Monica Family is way better than anything I ever made. The decor is done in such good taste. No Grapevines and gondoleirs painted on the walls. The servers are so very pleasant and attentive. Pizza is to die for - but try everything else on the menu. You will be glad you did.

most romantic and best service ever. – The wife and i went there for our anniversary. we were greeted by and advertising on the sidewalk for us. it said " congratulations Sam and debra". This instantly set the mood. Our reservation was ready for us; upon sitting at our table we were greeted by a very curtious wait staff. We were congratulated on our anniversary, and the service completely went over the amazing greeting we had recieved. We have already made plans to be back at that location for our next anniversary.

Great food. Great prices. Great service. – Bella Monica consistently delivers the best food and service in Raleigh. I have been there more times than I can count, and never once had even a mediocre meal. Everything is always spectacular. The atmosphere at night is charming and romantic. The wait staff is impeccable. The food is dynamite! I highly recommend anyone who has not eaten here that loves Italian, to give it a go. You won't be disappointed.
