Service was outstanding. I was able to easily obtain a fantastic ribeye (medium rare, great flavor), with all the sides and fixin's to go. Even though they were quite busy, my takeout order was quick (hadn't even finished my drink), on a Saturday night even.
I will be sure to dine here again on my next trip.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sep 9, 2023Updated review
Bella is definitely back! Like so many establishments, we felt service declined during and post pandemic, but they have once again found their groove. We typically dine here at least bi-weekly, and it's always perfect! The servers are friendly, knowledgable, and appear to enjoy working as a team. The food is always fantastic, and the specials are creative and varied. Wine selections are limited, but solid. This is easily one of, if not the best, dining option in Venango County. Highest recommendation!

The food is creative, delicious, and presented beautifully. The wine selection isn't huge, but usually adequate. The menu is smaller with limited beef, poultry, seafood, and non-meat selections available; however, the side dish pairings are well thought-out so that all of the menu choices look very appealing. The dinner atmosphere is perfection with dimmed lighting and an indoor lighted tree at the center of the restaurant. Outdoor deck seating is also available, but the kitchen exhaust detracts a bit from the experience. The service can be hit or miss. When we first started visiting the service was A+, but it seems that the pandemic may have hampered staffing or at least staff training. On our last visit we sat at our table for 30 minutes before we asked the host if he could send a waiter to our table. Typically we would have walked out at that point, but based on prior experiences here we knew this practice was not the norm. The food was not as good as usual, but still far better than almost everything available locally. A few less than stellar experiences, but overall still a top recommendation for the Venango County area!

It looks the part, for sure. But the food is not worth the money. I ordered steak medium rare and the gumbo. The steak was well done and the gumbo tasted like it came out of a can. Very disappointing. I wish restaurants that charge an arm and a leg would pay attention to detail. It seemed the gumbo was thrown together instead of embracing the true way of making gumbo, which I would expect from this place. The staff are very professional and friendly. I wish the food was up to par.

Five of us ordered five different dishes and all of us were pleased! The servers were amazingly attentive and personable. I highly recommend this classy restaurant!! If we didn't live in a different part of the state, we would become regulars. When traveling northwest we will make it a destination!!!

Actual fine dining, always busy, staff are real pros. I come for lunch when friends come to town. Nice offerings in a great location. It looks so dramatic after dark with the festive lighting.

Although very busy on the Wednesday before Applefest, the staff at Bella Cucina did a wonderful job of serving our large group. The salmon and the walleye special that my wife and I enjoyed were outstanding. Gretchen who seated us, worked the bar, and helped out was terrific. Highly recommend an evening out here.

I really like Bella kachinas a lot the only thing I wouldn't recommend there is the ribeye steak though it's delicious it's extremely overpriced you can practically see through and it's 64.00
