About the Business
To recreate an authentic pizzeria as one would find in Naples, we imported all the right elements, beginning with the special domed brick oven. Here the pizzas are cooked on the masonry floor, alongside burning wood. Fueled by Tennessee oak, the oven's blaze approaches 900 degrees, quickly cooking the pizza to its bubbly, leopard-spotted best. Neapolitan style also requires San Marzano tomatoes, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh mozzarella and "00" Caputo flour. Milled as fine as talcum powder, Caputo is considered the premier pizza flour and the key to soft, pliable dough. If you want to experience Italy without the 9 hours flight, and uncomfortable narrow seat in coach, come by Bella Napoli, and let your mind and palate take the journey of a lifetime!

We loved the entire experience. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious!! We started with artichokes. They've been marinating for 30+ days. AMAZING!!! The Caesar salad was a great appetizer and the dressing tastes authentic. I ordered chicken Alfredo because I eat like a toddler and my husband had the chicken parmigiana. His was incredible!!! Perfect amount of crispiness. The atmosphere was fun and inviting. I'm glad we stumbled upon it!

called ahead and specifically asked if they take walk-ins because we did not have a reservation. The person on the phone said yes we do. When we arrived the host asked if we had a reservation to which I replied no, but that I had called ahead and made sure they take walk ins even if there was a bit of wait. Before I was done speaking he cut me off and said no, we do not and have nothing tonight. He was dismissive and extremely rude and unwilling to accommodate. There were plenty of tables too. Will never go back. train your staff, especially the bald guy working the host desk. garbage service.

I had been wanting to go to this place for so long!
I think we went a little too early to sit outside, because the flies were sooo bad. Like the worst I have ever experienced in my entire life.
I wanted to enjoy my pizza (which was great) but I was just rushing through the meal to get away from the flies. Even the waitress said it was really bad.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 12, 2022
Yeahhhh wanted to like this place. Cute ambiance, and they were super cool about moving our resy up a from 8:30 to 7:30! The calamari and bruschetta was pretty good! And the wine was decent!...however, the service kinda lacked. Our server was a very out going gentleman...lots of charisma and jokes but he must have had an off night. Took him a while to bring some refills on water and also took 15 mins for us to get greeted.
Our entrees also took a while, but we were given an apology and was told that a kitchen employee walked out. Sucks but dang kinda inappropriate? Anyhoo. Server gave us a joke to try to save the day. A for effort. God bless him.
Anyway, entrees came out and the spaghetti was mid but the vodka pasta wasn't bad! Could've been better.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Daniel F.Dublin, OH1181Feb 11, 2024

Cool little pizza spot that was a recommendation from a local. Indoor and outdoor seating, small menu with a focus on pizza and pasta. I got the margarita pie and wife got pasta dish. Both excellent. Kitchen was a little backed up so we asked for a little bread and host disappears and whips up a small bread pie with olive oil and salt. Was amazing. Could tell the team was very
Passionate about their food, service was excellent. Solid place !Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - Edward S.Old Hickory Lake, TN06469Apr 26, 2023
Still the best tasting, fresh pizza in Nashville. However, we ordered two pies and both needed approx. 6 minutes more in the brick oven. When I am forced to eat my pizza pies with a knife/fork, it's under cooked. Not by much, but everything should not fall off. Maybe a bad night, didn't eat all day, and almost sent the pizza back, but I was starving. Even on a bad day, still the best in Nashville!

Although a Pizzeria by name, Bella Napoli Pizzeria features so much more! On a recent visit, not only did we try some amazing pizza, but we ordered some mighty fine pastas and entrées!
Some highlights include: the chicken parmesan (It's super tasty... and huge), the ravioli (Bella featured a mushroom gorgonzola variety the night we dined), and the Fettuccine Alla Boscaiola (such a flavorful pancetta cream sauce). As for pizzas, we tried the Capricciosa, which features ham, salame, marinated artichokes, kalamata olives, mushrooms and fresh mozzarella. But we definitely had food envy other pizzas were being delivered to nearby tables.
As for the restaurant's interior, it is designed more like an updated old world Italian restaurant (lots of brick and wood). It's definitely inviting and provides a great backdrop for family dining or a casual date night.
I'd like to send a special shout out to all the staff who helped us on our visit. They were all super friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and provided excellent, speedy service.Helpful 9Thanks 0Love this 6Oh no 0 - Hana S.Nashville-Davidson metropolitan government (balance), TN041Jul 16, 2023
The food is amazing!! They have a great selection of pastas and you can't go wrong with any of the pizzas. I do with they had more vegetarian pizzas (not that I'm vegetarian but I didn't like the meat they had) but it was still very good. The crust is .
We went on a Saturday night. The place is not too big but they have outdoor seating. The night we went happened to be very busy because there was an event close by so it took a while to get our food. Our server made up for wait. She was very kind and funny. The entire staff seemed very friendly.
Definitely plan to go back there soon!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
