Food is always amazing and they have a cute little patio out back that is nice. They're small but one of the nicest places for date night dinner in Tri Cities. read more

Lobby is nicely decorated, out side is nice as well. Occupancy is 51.. They provide outside seating as well . Music fits the theme. Wine celebration is wonderful. Had the riesling that paired very well with my white sauce ravioli. Lobby is clean and organized and inviting. Our waitress Jessica was so sweet, knowledgeable & we appreciated her recommendations. She was polite and hospitable. The food was delightful! Full of flavor! Was so filling, definitely returning Only critique is the bread that we were brought was cold, good but just not warm. read more

I visited Bella Italia for dinner after a local conference. The interior is very Italian and the main seating area wasn't too crowded with tables. I was seated quickly and had attentive service throughout my dinner. I had to try the caprese appetizer which was very fresh. The wine by the glass choices went well with the rest of my dinner. I chose the special which allowed me to try three smaller entrees: the tortellini with meat sauce, the ravioli with Alfredo sauce, and the chicken Parmesan - all great choices and delicious. I also felt compelled to try both the soup and salad, but wasn't able to finish because I needed to save room for their tiramisu, which was pleasantly moist and flavorful. It paired well with a double espresso to finish. read more

Celebrated my husbands birthday there. 5 out of 5 stars. Loved the romantic Italian music, gorgeous decor, delicious food and caring staff. Best Italian food in town, it is an experience that cannot be missed. It felt like I was back in Italy. Nadine was very patient communicating with my limited Italian. She was warm and attentive and felt like family. I will return for my birthday. The most romantic restaurant in town! read more

Great food and ambience! A little spendy, but well worth it. The dessert left a little to be desired, but the pros well outweigh the cons.

Went to Bella Italia in Kennewick and I honestly wish we hadn't. We ordered spaghetti with chicken cutlets, and right away I noticed the plates were dirty. The food tasted terrible -- the chicken didn't even taste like chicken, more like old fish. When we told the server the food wasn't good, she brought the owner over, and instead of trying to help, they were both rude and dismissive. No apology, no refund, nothing. We ended up paying around $110 for two plates of pasta that we didnt even eat. Definitely not worth it. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone -- terrible service and even worse food. read more

1 Star -- Terrible Experience at Bella Italia (Kennewick, WA) I went to Bella Italia with my brother and it was one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. We ordered spaghetti with chicken cutlets, but when the food came out, the plates were dirty and the meal tasted awful. The chicken didn't even taste like chicken -- it had a strange fishy flavor. When our server asked how everything was, we were honest and said the food didn't taste good. She brought over the owner, and instead of trying to make things right, they were extremely rude and refused to offer any kind of refund or solution. To make things worse, the bill came out to around $110 for two plates of pasta, which is ridiculous for the quality we received. Beware of this place -- I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, not even my worst enemy. read more

Amazing service and a huge thanks to Jessica, we asked for a drink she had never made and turned out 10 times better than someone who would be able to make it.. She was a wonderful young lady with great servicing skills! Food was Amazing! And great variety of wines.We are definitely going back! read more

Mark the 200 and if you're craving an Italian, this is the place to go good food while presented by attentive staff.

Absolutely delicious food and outstanding service! True homemade Italian pasta and food. Lots of gluten free options. The asked for wine suggestions and our server did not disappoint. Both the red and the white were Italian wines and boy did they go down smooth. Thank you for a great evening of friends and food!! read more

First time visiting here. Food was very good, service was great! Nice ambiance, we will return! read more

Bella Italia the food was the best Italian food I've ever consumed. Only open 5pm to 8:30 the ambiance is impeccable as well as the service. Both itilian and domestics wines available. Friendly service as well as knowledgeable. We had antipasto, a choice from 2 soups and green salad, ravioli agousto (spelling) ravioli stuffed with lobster and a white cream sauce...the flavors did not over power each other, wonderful light fare. Highly recommend! read more

When 'auditioning' restaurants as places to host a post wedding ceremony dinner for about 20 guests, my Granddaughter ( the Bride!) and I had dinner here. New to the area, neither of us had been here before but a friend recommended it very highly. Out dinner was fantastic, the setting was intimate and lovely and the service was attentive and professional. I asked to speak with the manager and we met Nadine. She and her husband, Chef Leonardo, own and manage the restaurant. She was just lovely. They were the perfect choice for us. So helpful in menu planning, beverage service and, oh my gosh, the cake cutting and service with the help of Nadine went smoothly. We were in a private room off the main dining room and it was just a wonderful evening. read more

I really hate writing bad reviews, but sometimes, it's warranted. For our one night in the area, I did some yelping to find a local place to eat. I came across Bella Italia and the reviews were mixed, I was not sure if it would be good or terrible. I felt like comfort food, and they had eggplant parmigiana on the menu, so I decided to come here, hoping that the bad reviews were inaccurate. First, the location is just odd. We drive away from the main shopping area to find this stand alone building with very few cars in teh parking lot. Should have been my first sign. Second, when we entered, it was fairly empty. Maybe 4 tables in the entire place had guests. Second sign. In reviewing the menu, it was super limited from what their website showed. So many items that I thought they had were not being offered. This was the third sign. Still hopeful, we ordered wine, and bruschetta. The bruschetta was the highlight of the meal. The tomatoes were fresh, and tasty with garlic, etc. It was a HUGE portion. At this point, we were thinking we could have found a gem. The salads came, and they were nice, fresh greens with Italian dressing and tomatoes. Simple, but fresh. We were pretty happy so far. Next, they brought us bread with balsamic vinegar and oil. It was enough bread for a table of 4. The bread was bland. It was not worth the calories. It was the first miss. Lastly, they brought us our main courses. The eggplant parmigiana for me and the Penne Arriabatta for him. This is where it fell apart. The eggplant was just mush. I couldn't really even eat it. The penne that came on the side was right out of a box. My partner said his was fine, and the sauce was pretty good, but again, the pasta was just regular stuff you could buy at Safeway. I wanted this place to be great, I wanted to like it, but I can't recommend coming here. I feel like this place could really benefit from an overhaul, since there is so much potential. Maybe they should invite Gordon Ramsey to come and do a makeover for them? read more

My daughter and I were visiting from Southern California and were the mood for Italian food. Bella Italia was located next to our hotel and it looked like a nice restaurant. We were delighted to find the inside of the restaurant just as pretty as the outside and the delicious smell hit us as soon as we entered the door. The service was excellent! Our server, Shilo, was friendly , attentive and made great food suggestions. I can honestly say that the spaghetti was prepared exactly as I had it in Rome! Delicious! We also ordered the bruschetta, caprese salad and tirimasu...all amazing! read more

Lived in Tri Cities for 9 years and this was our first time, definitely won't be our last. Cheese tortellini with Italian meat sauce was delicious. Even the bread and soup was amazing. Service was great. Decided to try dessert and the Nutella cheesecake was fluffy and so good. Interior decor is a nice change up from chain restaurants. Not off a Main Street, but worth the extra few turns to find this spot. read more

I don't really like to post negative reviews- but I truly just had to say- this was the worst way I have spent $200 in my life. I could have made better food with $10 at Walmart. Everything that everyone got was flavorless and almost to a point of inedible because it was just so bland and mid. It was our first time at Bella Italia. We have lived here for years and never visited...never even heard of anyone else visiting- but the building was so pretty and we had figured someone must be eating here as they are still in business. We don't know how or why- but all we know is we will not be back. read more

Pleasantly surprised after some bad reviews... wonderful service and a very tasty meal... portions were large. Just goes to show everyone's experience is different.. try to support local and judge for yourself!! read more

The atmosphere here is wonderful and the service was great. I would highly recommend this place for anyone in the TriCities if you are in the mood for Italian food. 5 out of 5. read more

Service was friendly. We were a private party though and the food was family style and everyone found it EXTREMELY bland. Multiple people asked if they forgot to add the seasonings. I understand having to go conservative and not heavy on spice or flavor when you have a potentially diverse group to serve. It's not a good sign when people are asking for herbs from the kitchen to try and fix up the food themselves. I would consider giving it one more try for a date or something read more

Went there for grandson's birthday dinner and was worse food eaten in Tri-Cities in years. Waitress ok, food all time low. Italian sauce out of bottle, meatballs freezer burned from some supermarket. Go here at own risk. read more

This is our get-away, date-night place. It's cozy, not loud, guests and fellow diners seem to be comfortable and also enjoying their time seated together. The food is rich and tasty, we've never had a meal here that wasn't delicious. Thank you for the gift of Bella Italia in Kennewick. read more

Authentic , delicious food, excellent service, great for a family dinner, date night, or dinner with friends

Cool building. Alright food. Friendly. The bread wasn't very special, but we liked the herb butter.

The staff was friendly. The food was plentiful but bland. There are better, more flavorful options in town.

The server was very sweet, but totally got one of our orders completely wrong not even close. we also ordered a prosciutto appetizer two of them to be exact for our group. It was like they just slapped on some bread toasted the bottom and called it good. And this is a shame because I love Italian food. The food was bland at best! at the end of our meal. They came out with a replacement order for the one that was wrong, which was really sweet, but they got it wrong too. We said nothing left a good tip, but I will go back. read more

I don't recommend, 1st time will be the last...for starters, the bread came out cold, next I was served a bowl of lettuce as a salad no croutons or cheese or anything at all, had to ask for tomatoes, date's had tomatoes on his. Next ordered the special which was breaded chicken, a sample of tortellini with red sauce and a sample of ravioli with white sauce. The chicken and tortellini were pretty tasteless, the ravioli was the only thing that actually had flavor...save your $$$ and skip this place read more

After trying many times because they have odd hours we finally got in and took about 20 minutes to be seated at which point in time we waited an hour and Didn't even get water.Restaurant was not busy at all and wait staff kept looking at us through the side of their eyes but not helping. Huge disappointment will never go back read more

My husband and I went to dinner January 21 at 5 PM. Best time to go we both had the special for the night chicken breast, raviolis and tortellini. Fresh and hot chicken was tender and crispy. Our appetizer was excellent salads leafy greens they were green the bread was fresh The garlic butter was excellent, what can I say we've lived in the Tri-Cities for over 40 years never been there definitely going to tell friends about this place service very pleasant. Most of all place was clean. read more

Upon arriving, seating is at a distance. I was served bread with a fantastic butter and herb mixture, very creamy and subtle flavors. I ordered salad, the greens were flavorful and tender. The Italian dressing was not overly vinegar. Very subtle flavor. Pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Bella Italian tortellini. Perfectly prepared. Tortellini is tender not over cooked. The spinach cheese sauce is a great compliment to the cheese in the Tortellini. It's more than enough food for one. Lots to take home. Will certainly be back to try more entrees. read more

Highly unimpressed, food lacked flavor & the limited menu did not provide any options for those with food restrictions. Salad was only lettuce & tomatoes with a vinaigrette dressing. Waitress was not willing to deviate from the menu to serve even a side of chicken breast. Staff did a great job refilling bread baskets & drinks. The restaurant was clean & well decorated. The back room was great for hosting a small party. read more

My husband and I went here for the first time the other day. Very authentically Italian looking from the moment we walked in. Had amazing service from the wait staff. Garlic herb butter was amazing. The salad could've had more to it than just tomatoes. My husband got the fettuccine soup which was good. I got the special sampler, chicken with red sauce tortellini and white sauce ravioli. Pretty good, tortellini was way better than ravioli and chicken. Husband got the gorgonzola gnocchi which was really good. Ordered tiramisu and affogato, my favorite thing all night for sure. They never disclosed the price of the "special", came out to $33 which was way more than anything on the menu. For people who are picky about how water tastes... the water was good. read more
