Bella Napoli Italian Bistro

I guess my first impression would be it is a little awkward and leaving our name and told to come back in 20 to 25 minutes, but I’ll put that aside.
When we came back, people just started lining up and saying that they two left their names.
During that time, two women approached the hostess and said that they wanted a table for six.
They were told they could not accommodate 6 due to the size of the restaurant.
The ladies asked if they could just get two tables of three that did not need to be next to each other, and they were told they could not see three people, and they cannot split up parties.
Let me just say, these were not young ladies.
These were women at least in their 60s, so I don’t see them being rowdy at all.
When they asked again if they could be in a table of four and two, not needing to be with each other that they just wanted to eat, they were again told no.
It seemed very ridiculous to me, and almost had me wanting to leave.
I personally would not have wanted to pursue eating at that restaurant if I was repeatedly being told that they didn’t want me as these poor people were.
I understand if they were young kids and you were afraid they’d be yelling across the restaurant, or worried about splitting check or something of that nature, but when they just wanted to eat, and there happened to be six people, I don’t see why they couldn’t have two different tables. As for our meal, once we were seated, we were pleasantly surprised with our pear Gorgonzola salad that my husband and I shared.
We then shared the manicotti, which was good, but not great that I was immediately followed with heartburn. Service was good, I wasn’t thrilled that every time somebody passed they wanted to take my plate when I was not finished.
At that point, it wasn’t even busy and they had many empty tables, so I’m not sure what they were in such a hurry for. Then you’ve got the music… It started out with like Hispanic music, then switch to an Italian song, back to some Hispanic, then country that was turned off mid song, then kind of some random music.
Very strange ambience for a tiny Italian restauran

There was a wait to get in but it was worth the wait.
The food suggestions by the server were good and food tasted quite good.
The place is small so seating is a issue.
Don't go for ambiance but go for the food.

I recently dined at Bella Napoli Italian Bistro, and like many other reviewers, I couldn't help but notice how ridiculously dark the ambiance was inside.
I couldn't fathom why they didn't simply add more lighting to brighten up the space.
The whole candlelight vibe felt overdone and, frankly, was way too dim for my liking.However, setting aside the lighting issue, I must say that the food was nothing short of amazing! Bella Napoli truly delivers on its promise of authentic Italian cuisine.
I opted for the Fettuccine Alfredo, and it exceeded all my expectations.
The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce was rich and creamy, and every bite was bursting with flavor.
It was evident that the chefs take pride in using quality ingredients and executing traditional Italian recipes with finesse.Despite the initial disappointment with the ambiance, the exceptional quality of the food more than made up for it.
Bella Napoli Italian Bistro is undoubtedly a gem for anyone craving an authentic taste of Italy, despite the need for a few extra light bulbs to brighten up the dining experience.
