La Bella = Another Family Favorite. Been dining at La Bella for years. We love it! Very consistent authentic Italian cuisine! Pizza is not the best in Buffalo, but what asshats dine here for the pizza when the menu compels viewers to order more rewarding dishes? You want Pizza, go to La Nova. You want Veal Parm? It's hear at La Bella Sicilia! & ever since Ricci Roma closed, we been dining here that much more!
Simple and good. We have been here a few times now, ordering various pasta dishes. We have not tried the pizza. The food has always been good with generous portions, and its a good value for the money. When they are busy you may have to flag your waitress down to get a drink refill and maybe wait a few more minutes for your food, but its not like they are just standing around ignoring you. The staff appears to be histling. I think maybe they just have more seating than the kitchen is set up for. They might want to sweep the floor a bit more often, but I wouldn't say I've felt dirty eating there. It can feel a little crowded here on a busy night - I wouldnt plan a romantic evening here - but I like that they dont have obnoxious or loud music playing or 100 tv's. Just a good red sauce joint.
Delicious. Just got takeout from this place after having not eaten here for years. The lasagna was really good, blanketed in cheese, and portioned well. Meatballs were fantastic. Sauce was delicious. Antipasto was generously sized and loaded with yummy ingredients. My single complaint is that I feel there should be green olives as well as black ones in the antipasto. Great food, very fair prices...I will be back. You should go there!
This is one of our favorite places. The Antipasto & Sammy roll with sauce on this vist were excellent.
They also have great pizza, wings, lasagna and spaghetti parm.
The best Sicilian pizza sauce. La Bella Sicilia may not be the most glamorous-looking restaurant, but the food is amazing. Huge portions of pasta! But the best thing...the thing I'm addicted to....the thing I drive from Indianapolis to Buffalo for, is their deep dish Sicilian pizza. The cheese is so fresh and farm-like, as if it came from a freshly milked dairy cow....but the MOST AMAZING thing is the sauce on the deep dish Sicilian pizza....it's tangy and sweet and addictive. As a pizza connoisseur, I can state wholeheartedly that it's the best-tasting sauce I've ever encountered. Be sure not to confuse it with their regular NY style pizza, which is great but has a more typical type of sauce. The sauce I'm addicted to is that which is on La Bella's deep dish Sicilian pizza. I would choose it as my last meal...it's that amazing!
When we want fee good Italian, we like to eat here. It's not the fanciest place, but I've never had a bad dinner. It's an older place, and always has customers, so get there early.
The Food Baby. Have you ever heard that expression? It applies to a situation in which one eats so much, it appears as if they are pregnant.
That is how I feel when I leave La Bella.
First, bread comes out... Costanzo's sub rolls. Be careful, or you will be full after you finish your salad. Now, they have half-portions (or kid sizes) of the pasta dishes, but I can't discern the difference. This knowlege in mind, I ordered the chicken scallapini ala francese, two cutlets in a lemon sauce (~$13) to keep it light... and they were delicious.
I have been to La Bella three times, each visit for dinner, and it has always been packed. However, the staff moves pretty well through a cramped space. Unless you go later in the evening, I'd expect some wait and a noisy restaurant.
Great Food!. This restaurant is great. The food is always delicious. Service is great.
We (all 8 of us) really loved La Bella. The tomato sauce was uber fresh. We really loved the antipasto salad. I had the sausage on the side of my ziti and it was AWESOME - fresh, sweet & tasted homemade. It isn't fancy, puts on no airs, ain't pretenious but oh was the food great!
Absolutely amazing. Best portion and food quality is amazing. That Sebastian kid knows his wine too. Gota give him a raise!
I ordered a dinner entree and it probably could have fed 3 people. Service was great, very reasonable prices, and the food was solid.
Eaten here for 38 years!! My favorite Italian restaurant!! Great food, Terrific service, clean establishment! Owner still works and greets guests! Love it! You won't be disappointed!!
OMG is all I can say!! My husband and I decided to order from here the other day because our usual go-to was on vacation. I got what I THOUGHT was a small chef salad which was huge! Then I was tasting lasagna and my husband ordered the Chicken Parm. We didn't know bread came with the meals so we ordered garlic bread with cheese. When it was delivered before we opened the box, my husband told me to hold the box, lol!! It weighed, no kidding, about 5 lbs! The portions where ABSOLUTELY HUGE! The meals lasted us over 3 days and tasted better and better over time! Everything was delicious and the price was really reasonable. Our usual go to charged more for less so they lost a customer because we will definitely be ordering from here from now on! We are going to try the pizza next I'm sure it will be just as good! You won't be sorry if you order from here!
Delicious food. Good portions & prices. Fast & great customer service. My neighbors & I order from here all the time. Veal Scallopini Ala Margarita is amazing! 😋 & when I need a couple slices real quick, I run to them. My friends are obsessed with the stuffed peppers. 👍
I go here for their Chicken Picata and it's so yummy, I just wish it had capers on it but the flavor is great. The red sauce is Amazing! If you like a bit of a sweeter sauce. The decor is certainly not anything to write home about but the food makes up for that.
Nice little mom and pop place that a coworker told me about. The service is pretty good and food comes out pretty quickly.
I had the fettuccine alfredo along with a side of a meatball and a sausage.
The red sauce is on the sweet side and pretty tasty.
I’m not a big fan of sausage in red sauce. It was just ok.
The homemade meatball was really good and fettuccine alfredo was outstanding!
First time I ever ordered pizza here, I ordered a New York style, the crust was not NY style thin crust. The pizza otherwise was surprisingly delicious ! Good amount of cheese and pepperoni and a sauce that was sweet but not overly sweet. I think I found my new go to pizzeria!
