One thing that always remains the same at Bella's is that the service, atmosphere, food and drinks are on point. They handle a large group better than any other restaurant that I have ever dined at. From the owner all the way down to the...More

In town for a funeral and had a private room for a family dinner. Delicious steak and lobster but the highlight was the olive oil-based dipping sauce for the hot bread.

Hands down one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had- if I could give this place six stars I would! We had dinner here while on a road trip through Northwestern PA, and I can't say enough good about it. The food was wonderful--...More

Excellent meal with Excellent presentation. That atmosphere is very nice a small restaurant with a great hometown feel but with Big City taste and class. Only negative is it can be a little loud. Outside seating is superb.

The best place to eat in Franklin by far. I had baked oysters and seafood pasta that were both delicious. Very nice place.

The five star rating and menu made me try this place. What I had was good for the most part, not fantastic. I tried the Korean chicken noodle soup. I had one piece of chicken in the entire cup and it was filled with mushrooms...More

Old fashioned looking elegant restaurant on the Main Street of a beautiful little town! Decor charming. Menu 5 star but some things pricey but so worth it. I had a wonderful turkey sandwich with excellent pasta side. Our waiter was attentive and gave us excellent...More

Stopped for lunch despite mixed reviews. Charming decor. Shared butternut squash curry soup. Interesting and flavorful. We had Cajun rockfish tacos and ham and cheese quiche. Both entrees were well done. Ashley was a fun server to work with.

Wonderful tapas menu on Wednesday and International night on Thursday. The menu is so versatile that you can find anything you want. You can even ask for off menu items and they will accommodate. Best place in Venango County, and perhaps North Western, Pa. True...More

Bella Cucina is by far the destination restaurant in Venango / Butler counties. The food and service is beyond reproach. I have tried almost all of the other restaurants in this area and have found them lacking. The dinner menu is delightful for all tastes...More

Upscale, affordable options! Simply delicious, the chef adds the extra touches-leaving you wanting to return soon! The knowledgable hands-on owner, Ava, is the key success factor! Dining experiences like you would expect to find in NYC... It's that good.

Bella Cucina was part of the Taste of Franklin. We were told by a couple of locals to eat there, we wouldn't be disappointed.
