We were staying at Hampton Inn next door and decided to get a pizza. Was the best pizza we had ever had! While there and looking at their menu seen the seafood available so we went back a couple days later and tried the seafood. We were in town on vacation for 5 days and 4 nights and ate fresh seafood every night but no one came close to being as good as Bella Cucina! For three of us, with a few drinks, came to around $150 but it was worth every penny. I left the waiter a $25 tip as he was excellent! Highly recommend this place!
The meal was delicious, everything was fresh, hot and arrived in a timely manner. Our server was excellent, our drinks never got low. The price of the meal was great too. An excellent place to eat at!!

After driving 6 hours my husband and I stopped in for dinner. First time trying the place . Cassidy was our server and she was great. . . She knew we were tired and she got us in and out super fast! The food was amazing! I highly recommend!!
We've been going to Bella Cucina regularly since they opened years ago. We normally eat there for dinner in the dining room area. The food, atmosphere, prices and service are all great. And the food just gets progressively better and better thanks to Garrett the chef!
Awsome food! Super authentic and well priced. Delicious! Would recommend!
This place is awesome . The bread and garlic olive oil,, salads, pasta entrees and bread pudding are scrumptious! Our waitress was Debbie and she couldn't have been more nice or accommodating. We will be back.

Stop here for dinner every time we visit Southport and never disappointed! Like the fact that they offer smaller portions of many of the entrees which is just right. Last night I had a side salad and shrimp scampi which was perfect and delicious. My husband had the regular sized Penne a la vodka which he enjoyed as well. Can't forget the turtle cheesecake which was over the top good. A very cute and fun waitress made for a win win evening!
I had the chicken parmigiano with angel hair. My wife had tortellini with meat sauce. Everything was perfect, and the service was over the top.
Absolutely my favorite restaurant!! The tiramisu is fantastic!! The wait staff is even better!
We had a party of 10 and your staff rocked it! Food, servers, atmosphere; we couldn't have asked for a better night!
Bella Cucina is one of the best restaurants here in Southport thanks to their chef Tracy.
She is outstanding in her flare for cooking and creating tasty dishes. Give it a try you wont be disappointed 😊
Amazing, great service. Really enjoy the atmosphere. Food comes quick and it’s yummy!!! Below is there club. With drink for less than 10!!! What!? Thank you
Excellent Italian food, homey atmosphere, most of the patrons knew the workers. It was very nice. We started off with dipping some bread into the garlic and oil. It was wonderful, like being back up north. I had the Veal Parmigiano and my wife had the Chicken Francese. Both were wonderful and the service was great. If you ever are in the neighborhood you have to give the little place a try.

I forgot to take pictures to share, because we were all too hungry to think about it. We are not locals by any means. Decided since this place had pretty good reviews and was across from the hotel we are staying at, that we would give them a try. We got a medium pepperoni pizza for my husband and son, and I got a small spaghetti and meatballs. The guys loved their pizza and a medium was big enough for both of them. Their meatballs were very large and tasted pretty good. They weren’t over seasoned at all, but weren’t horribly bland either. The sauce was nice and hearty and the noodles were perfect. The young lady that helped me with my order was very kind and polite. She helped me figure out what size was best for our pizza. She was even thoughtful and sent me cutlery without me even asking for them. She answered my questions about their cheesecakes as well. I got my husband a NY style cheesecake and my son and I got their chocolate cake. We haven’t tried them yet, but I will update my review when we have.
Can not say enough good about this spot. In Brunswick on work for two weeks and I eat here almost every night. The food is simple, fresh and delicious, exactly how an Italian dish should be. Servers are possibly the best I have ever had. Great at engaging with you and making you feel as if you’re a friend and not just a customer.
Our waitress Chloe was fabulous. Attentive and kind. The food was fast and was very tasty. Margaritas was wonderful too. Thanks to the bartender.
Very delicious food, and great variety of both meals and desserts. Very friendly staff. Beautiful interior decorating; plus TVs to watch sports. Going here to eat is an awesome opportunity not be missed!
My family and I visited on Labor Day weekend. While we have a large party of 9 they were able to seat us within 25 minutes. We called ahead and by the time we got there, we were able to be seated. The food was fantastic! The Alfredo was simply amazing. I have eaten a ton of different alfredo and can say theirs so far is the best I’ve had. That’s saying a lot as I’ve tried a ton of different places. The other dishes were great as well! If you are in the area, you need to visit!
We had an amazing experience. The bartender Andre was amazing! The food was amazing..we live 4 hours away but we will definitely be back!! Real Italian food.. Not frozen
We went here for a quick pizza prior to seeing a movie. We got the basic pepperoni since we were in a little bit of a hurry. It was delicious and fast! We will definitely go there again. We ate a few months ago on the restuarant side after a movie and the service was superb and the food very good. We will go back their.
Food was amazing!! We had a large party with late notice. They were able to squeeze us in which was great for the 4th of July week! Would definitely come back! Seating was a little tight but I think that was because of our big party and late notice. We just appreciated being able to get out together.
Great food, garlic dipping oil for bread was over the top! Linguine w/ clams was great and Valerie provided excellent service. Highly recommend!
Stopped in for a late lunch. Prices are good and the food was also good. Are 2 lunch pastas came out quick. Food was hot and plentiful. Did not need dinner that evening. Will be returning.
I work in Southport so it's always a solid lunch spot, two slices of pizza and a fountain drink for $8. You can't beat it. And if you're feeling brave, you can get one of those $3 brownies that are as big as a car door and old boy,you'll be done son!
First time visiting and the pizza was amazingggg! We will definitely be going more often. Service was quick and Andre was super friendly! 10/10!
I wish I had gone there sooner instead of our last day.
Just across the parking lot from the Marriott.
An unassuming exterior with a few small neon signs.
Authentic Italian restaurant with white table cloths, great service and excellent food. I counted 14 framed beveled mirrors on the walls. A well done dining room. Prices were very reasonable compared to downtown Southport.
My wife and I really enjoyed it.

We had a long day and wanted some good food and have driven by this pace a million times. No wait when we arrived and it was fairly busy with more than half the tables full. Our server Brittney came over and took our drink order, shared the specials for the evening and some recommendations. Drinks came out fast and she also returned twice to see if we had any questions on the menu, which I did. One of my strange things when dining out is to ask what the server loves on the menu. How they answer tells me a lot and helps me know if the restaurant is a good one or not. So she gave me some great suggestions, described the food in great detail and she asked a few questions that helped her give me suggestions. So oddly enough I ended up ordering a Stromboli with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and Italian sausage. The fresh Italian bread with olive oil that had garlic and onions was very good, the bread had a nice crunchy crust and soft and chewy inside. Our food came out in a decent amount of time and it was hot and presented well. They make all the dough fresh onsite and you can tell. The sauce (or gravy as we call it where I am f on) was very good, not too sweet and a great taste. The Stromboli was cooked perfectly and more than enough food. The service was perfect, she was nice to talk with and she was on top of things but not too much where it would of been annoying.
I would recommend Bella Cucina for a good true Italian dinning experience. We will be back again when we return to the area soon.
