    Tagliatelle Bolognese
    Kris M.

    Early dinner with our 2 grown kids. Server was nice and attentive. Had Margarita pizza as app; nice crust and good flavor. Thought the TORTELLINI was the best of our 3 meals and it was good. Others were TAGLIATELLE BOLOGNESE and RAGU DI MANZO. The Ragu Di Manzo had the best flavor, but noodles were too al dente. My Tagliatelle Bolognese had less flavor, but was better in my opinion because of the thinner and better cooked noodles; skimpy on the bolognese. Cute Brookside experience but not worth drive for return visit from out south, IMO.

    Located in the wonderful neighborhood of Brookside. Great service. Outdoor dining. Tasty food. Yes!

    This is such a great neighborhood spot! The restaurant has a cozy vibe inside. The patio looks great but it was too hot for us in July. We came here because of the Monday $10 pizza deal. This is truly unbeatable! The pizza was great to split with a few salads. We had a reservation, but the service was still fast but not rushed. This is a great weeknight spot!

    In times past we just order pizzas to go and boy are their pizzas great, but tonight we decided to try something new. We had never been in and sat down at the restaurant so we thought let's mix things up. The Ragu di Manzo is amazing. I devoured it so quickly and the only sad part was I wanted more and my plate was empty. The pork was delicious and the sauce devine. The lasagna is a lot of food. It is amazing and definitely a must try with the bolognese. The lasagna is very cheesy which makes it even better. The two different spritz drinks were dangerously delicious.

    We went to Bella Napoli for lunch to celebrate my sister's good news, and it was such a wonderful first visit. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and guided us through the menu, making great recommendations. We ordered the lasagna with bolognese and the tagliatelle with bolognese, both were so fresh and flavorful that we even asked for a container of the sauce to take home. To finish, we shared the tiramisu, which was creamy, light, and the perfect ending to a delicious meal.

    I've been to Bella Napoli multiple times and the service, ambiance and food are all SPOT ON! Kliti has been our server multiple times and is a delight. This most recent time we had Katie who was just as lovely. The service really lends well to the ambiance of the restaurant. What I really love about Bella Napoli is that is a neighborhood experience. It's very homey inside and the fact that Kliti welcomes us back every time and asks about my family, is just so great. It feels like you're in a neighborhood spot in the middle of Italy. The food is also so delicious. I've never had a bad meal. Everything is fresh, tasty and unique. There are always yummy specials as well!

    This is a nice Italian restaurant in the city. I wasn't impressed by the carbonara at all. But we had pizza and another pasta dish, I'm forgetting the name. The lemon drops are very good. Highly recommend those. Service was good. Very attentive waiter despite the place being busy.

    Grabbed dinner with a friend at Bella Napoli. We had a reservation, which I would recommend on a Saturday night, as it was busy. Our service was quick and friendly. Our food was good - I got the server's recommendation - the pasta allá giacomo. It was good, but I love a red sauce and should have gone with that because my friend got the ragú di manzo and it was delish! Definitely a fun stop in brookside. I didn't realize they have a deli sandwich menu... I want to try that!

    What a delightful place, It's small, but cozy. It's authentic. It's a slice of Italy in the midwest. Gluten friendly. Family friendly. Reasonably priced.

    Minestrone - 8 oz.

    The food was good, and staff friendly, but the wait for food to come out on a Saturday night was insane. Seats were completely filled. Recommend getting a reservation, and going at off-hours if there are any. The broccoli rabe & sausage pasta was good. Don't get the minestrone soup. It's basically made from canned tomatoes and canned/frozen veggies. Lemon torte was also good And you can taste lemon peels in it. I was given a discount on my food because the wait was so long- so that was nice

    An absolutely awesome dining experience! We came in and grabbed a table in the back room. The bar…read moretender came out and grabbed our drink order. I ordered a cider and they brought me out 1/2 a glass. The keg was empty and he figured I could at least try it. It was good, so I appreciate what I got. We got some appetizers. The Cesar salad was fresh and crisp. La Capra E Il Maiale was awesome! It was baked goat cheese and pepperoni with flatbread. Absolute flavor explosion! The pizzas... so great! We got a hot honey pepperoni and a Mortaza. Both were baked beautifully, the cheese blends were spectacular, and the toppings were ultra fresh. I left happy and full! Great service, great food!

    Il Lazzarone is a "safe bet" kind of place that's okay with large groups and families with small…read morechildren. It's pretty lively--which is to say that it's not a quiet, romantic sort of setting, so don't expect to have a sweet heart-to-heart convo over your pie. (Can this be the same place other reviewers are calling "upscale"? The menu is laminated, the chairs are industrial metal, and the floor is concrete. The server's wearing a hoodie.) The table next to us included two kiddos who played with electronic devices with the volume on, and staff made no move to stop them. We were seated at a table near the front door and didn't see the bar area until after we finished dinner; it's likely more intimate. The beer list is pretty short--the usual big names and a smattering of local craft brews. There are several spritzes and a few house cocktails on the menu, as well as a decent wine selection. We had craft beers and they were served good and cold. The menu also includes cane sugar sodas and Pepsi produts. Like most pizza places lately, there's no option for a small hot meal, especially if you want protein included--just a whole pizza (of which I'd eat less than half) or a salad. So I had a half salad, my mate had a pizza, and I had a slice of that as well. The crust is excellent; sauce and toppings are tasty as well. Il Lazzarone looks like a good place to share pizzas if you're with folks who can agree on toppings! It's a stable, reliable place to pop into if you're in the area.
