Bella Napoli Italian Restaurant

I recently had the pleasure of dining at an incredible Italian restaurant tucked away in downtown Alexandria.
From the moment we walked in, the lively atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel right at home.
Our server, David, was exceptionally attentive and added to the overall delightful experience. We started our meal with two appetizers: calamari and the Chef’s choice.
While I regret not catching the name of the latter, it was undoubtedly one of the best dishes I’ve ever tasted.
The calamari was perfectly crisp and flavorful, setting a high bar for the rest of the meal. For the main course, I had salmon cooked to perfection, served on a bed of penne noodles with a luscious lemon sauce.
Each bite was a delightful blend of textures and flavors, with the presentation on par with that of a Michelin-star restaurant.
The garnishing was exquisite, making the dish as visually appealing as it was delicious. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem in Alexandria.
The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, and the vibrant atmosphere only adds to the dining experience.
I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy an outstanding Italian meal.

Owner response

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.

It couldn't have been nicer or more delicious.
And Pablo's service was over the top wonderful.
My husband and I were in the area for the Heritage Foundation Gala .
We had dinner the night before the gala at this little Italian Gem in Alexandria.
Looking on Google maps I was a bit skeptical but am delighted that we took a chance and had dinner there.
We came with a Groupon Certificate for 50%.
Pablo greeted us with warmth and enthusiasm and told us there were no restrictions on the Groupon.
( which was delightful and unusual) Our food was truly delicious , and the sangria well made.
Pablo packed the leftovers well and we enjoyed a second dinner from leftovers a few nights later.
If we were local, this would be one of our go to places.
Delightful.
