This place looks small from the street, but when you get inside it's pretty huge, though much of the seating is outdoors (see photo of patio). The arbor they've grown over the patio seating area is really spectacular. The menu is extensive, specializing in Italian including pizza. They also had live music the night were here. I had the stuffed sole (see photo) which came with a side of pasta and grilled squash. It was really excellent, I don't often see sole on the menu and I love it! I should have gotten a photo or two of the desserts - they are huge and really delicious. Our server did a great job of handling our large group of 13 with separate checks, etc. Great expererience, I'd return in a heartbeat. read more

Stopped in for lunch and sat outback which was lovely. The patio was covered with a 100 year old vine plant (can recall its name) that the waitress told us still had one bloom in the corner. It was such a beautiful flowered garden in the back. We started off with bread and butter. The butter was infused with garlic which was delicious however the bread could have been better. The crust really had no different texture than the inside. I was total the pizza was good as was the salad, neither did I sample. I had the turkey bacon wrap which was tasty. The French onion soup was good but needed more cheese. Our server was nice and friendly. read more

was looking for a cute place to eat outside for lunch and this place delivered! their patio is so cute, with vines covered with fairylights. It was a gorgeous spring day and the part shade/part sun was very appreciated. Food: tomato basil cream soup (of the day) was delicious. Garlic knots with marinara sauce I didn't care for but my husband enjoyed it. I absolutely LOVED the lunch special of linguini with house smoked salmon. The salmon had a good smokey taste to it, was moist without tasting fishy and there was plenty of it!! The white garlic sauce with sundried tomato complimented the salmon perfectly. Paired with a glass of white wine... oh yeah, got bread with garlic butter too... oh my... what an excellent lunch. service was attentive and friendly. read more

This place was really cute, bartenders were friendly and made excellent drinks. We ordered the meatballs and those were good too, homemade with fresh bread and butter on the side. The icing on the cake was coming into the bar through the saloon doors. If you are in southern Oregon, Jacksonville isn't too far, about 15 minutes from Medford. read more

Bella Union is my favorite weekend brunch spot in Jacksonville. The service is always top notch, cocktails are perfection, the food is delicious & perfect for sharing. I always sit outside, they make sure it's comfortable year round with heaters &/or fans. For my fellow gluten free auto-immuners out there, they will toast GF sandwich bread for you & bring it out with their fancy butter so you can enjoy carbs with your friends while you sip for cocktail & wait for your food to arrive. Love this spot! read more

Absolutely delightful place in old historic Jacksonville. Deceiving from the outside. Inside is spacious, clean and very inviting. Beautiful outdoor patio as well. Good selection of beer, wine and alcohol. Great for sports enthusiasts in the bar, or if you're looking for a nice dinner the dining room or patio. Lunch special of grilled ham, turkey and Swiss was served on cranberry bread which added an extra flavor later; Cesar salad side was tasty and fresh and a good sized portion. The basil berry drink was a nice finisher to a tasty lunch. Staff were super nice and service was quick. Definitely a must try if you're in the area read more

October 5, 2024 - Jacksonville, OR We were walking through Jacksonville, looking for a place to eat lunch, and we just happened upon Bella Union. We stepped in, and were greeted immediately. Our hostess asked if we wanted to eat outside on the patio, which we decided was perfect, especially after she told us they had outside heaters. We walked through the bar area to get to the patio. The bar looks like a fun place to hang out...for another time. Today it is all about lunch. We were seated at a table, and we noticed immediately that the patio was covered with a vine bush. It wasn't long before we realized there was a bit of bird activity going on above our heads as vine leaves floated down on our table. Kind of charming, but also I couldn't help but hope that only leaves were going to come from the birds above. We ordered a meatball sandwich to split. The sandwich came with a side salad, and we ordered one extra side salad. They served the split sandwich on two separate plates, which ALWAYS earns extra points for the restaurant in my book. The meatball sandwich was delicious, and the salad was fresh and served with a house blue cheese vinaigrette dressing that was wonderful. Service was quick and friendly, and I loved the outdoor patio seating. If I return to Jacksonville, I will definitely stop here again. read more

Sounds like a change in the previous menu. The Mediterranean salad my husband had with chicken he said was really good. They had some tasty white bread for the table. My Mom and I got the BBQ pulled pork which had a great smoky flavor almost didn't need the sauce. Really enjoyed. I opted not to get a side with mine and they gave me an al a cart price which was nice. My Mom got a salad as her side and it was huge!! I do wish they had fries or tots as an option for a side. Sat outside and they had heaters and coverage for rain. Birds around hoping for a snack but no fries to steal. Cool old building so spend some time reading the signs and looking at pictures. Jacksonville has such a cool historical feel. read more

I surprised my friend with this place for her birthday during our weeklong trip to Oregon. I knew from the pictures that the atmosphere was going to be good and I was not disappointed! We had a very attentive server, even though it was a Saturday evening and busy. The food was amazing! We had the lasagna and the tortellini and meatballs. We also ordered a bottle of wine to split that we did not finish and the server let us take it home :) a great experience! read more

Bella Union Italian Restaurant, Jacksonville, OR - October 5, 2024 After exploring the cute little town of Jacksonville, we decided to come here for lunch.

We split a meatball sandwich and ordered an extra side salad with a house blue cheese vinaigrette dressing. The split came on two plates, always a nice touch! The ambiance and service were outstanding and everything was really tasty. read more

Every year when we come to visit Oregon, we look forward to dinner at Bella Union. The staff is so friendly and helpful when ordering. We loved Emily waiting on us - great recommendations. David as "busboy" was amazing - loved his smile. Sitting outside in the garden setting during the heat is delightful and cool. Our food was so yummy: Fresh Oregon Rockfish and zoodles(zucchini) with bay shrimp in a wine sauce, Mediterranean Salmon with artichokes in wine sauce, Mixed Berry Cobbler with ice cream, and Chocolate Decadence(WOW)! Must go to dining adventure. ***** read more

One of the best meal we had in the Greater Medford area, 3 of us for an early dinner. Full bar, beer and wine. Started with the Caesar salad which was so delicious, the soup of the day which was a chicken/lemon soup that was also fantastic. Angel hair pasta with smoked salmon, Mediterranean salad, smoked salmon and penne, plus their delicious bread and garlic butter. Service was great, the building had such a great history. Absolutely recommend! read more

We have eaten at the Bella for years and love coming here when we are in town. We were here on a busy Friday night and for some reason they were understaffed. However, we would never have known because our server, Sam, was absolutely incredible! He never seemed stressed or rushed and our service was perfect even though every table was full. This is a consistent place to eat with great food and an awesome patio. read more

Outstanding customer service! Everyone works together and checks on customers regularly, refills water often but doesn't interrupt conversation *5-stars* Food is tasty. Vegetables are perfectly cooked and lightly seasoned. Oyster shooter are fresh and well balanced with a light cocktail sauce. One shooter has 3 smaller oysters, one shooter has 2 medium sized oysters (enough to fill a shot glass) $4/per without alcohol. The cucumber cooler with gin for $10 was served in a tall skinny glass with a slice of cucumber and lemon. It was well balanced and refreshing. It wasn't at all boozy, but it was nice to sip on in the heat of the day. The add-on of a stuffed potato for $9 was a large russet potatoes, double cooked. It was tasty, but it's still just a potato for $9 *eh* Cod entree with a butter garlic baby shrimp sauce was delicious! Came with a small portion of spaghetti noodles, small portion of seasonal vegetables and a nice sized side salad $30. The back patio seating was very inviting but there were a lot of flies on a hot summer afternoon. Green plastic lawn chairs to sit in. Tables were far enough apart that you aren't rubbing elbows, but close enough that you want to speak quietly to avoid over sharing with strangers *lol* Good food, Excellent service, chill spot, a little pricey but on point for Jacksonville *thumbs up* read more

How this place only gets a 3.5 star rating is a mystery to me. I have been coming here for about five years, albeit once a year when visiting friends in Medford. I was just here again last week, and the experience was great as always. The street view is deceptive, as there is a beautiful wisteria covered patio once you travel through the foyer and bar area. The bar area has a great vibe itself, although I have yet to spend any time there. All of the employees including Lindsey our server were very pleasant and helpful. As for the food, it is always amazing. I had a gluten free pizza that was delicious. Once of my friends had a pastrami sandwich that he claims was the best he has ever had. Give this place a try if you are in Jacksonville, or make a trip there if in the Medford-Ashland area. Five stars all the way! read more

Came here for lunch on a recommendation. Menu looks amazing, ordered the spaghetti with meat sauce + 2 meatballs ($17). The bowl of spaghetti came in something the size of a small cereal bowl and was the smallest portion of spaghetti I have ever received at a restaurant. The meatballs were small and dry (pretty sure they were once frozen in a bag - similar size, texture and taste of bulk frozen meatballs). The meat sauce flavor was good, but there was an oddly large pool of oil at the bottom of the bowl (what??) which prompted me to transfer my spaghetti to my small bread plate (which was large enough given the tiny portion). I took a picture of the pool of oil to post because it seemed so odd. I would not come back here given the price point vs portion size and odd preparation method. Staff was friendly, and my wife's pizza looked amazing. read more

Well worth the wait on a busy Saturday evening during the holidays. We were seated in a lovely booth in the back that was comfortable, fairly quiet, and very relaxing. The service was Top Notch wonderful. Delicious Sourdough bread and butter and water was brought out right away. I ordered the Angel Hair Fresca (I think it was called) with Smoked Salmon. It was So good. My husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs. They were amazing and yummy. After dinner we took our drinks and went into the bar and enjoyed some lovely lounge music, and cheered on the musician, who was amazing. What a special holidays evening we had. Thank you Bella Union. read more

Took some friends from out of town for lunch , sat on the patio. It seems like they could do something about all the flies so that was annoying. Every one of the dishes that my husband myself and our friends ordered seem to be just meh no seasoning , over priced as well as overcooked for the most part. Service was fine. Waiter was attentive and drinks stayed filled. Everyone was very nice . read more

Been coming to the Bella for over 30 years now, and it's always a decent spot for food, drink and a good time. If you're a Caesar salad lover like us, this is an absolute must while you're here. Great dressing, fresh made croutons and always big portions too! Todays brunch service was good, as it always is. But the back of the house really missed big time on the eggs Benedict ("eggs belladict") ... overcooked, no runny yolk, all solid. Pretty disappointing, really, since the runny yoke and hollandaise (bernaise in this case) make or BREAK the dish. Nevertheless, still a great place to go and always a good time. read more

This place has fallen off so much, it used to be really good. The food was such a disappointment, flavors were nasty, crust was burnt and brick hard, needs gallons of ranch just to choke it down. Service was mediocre and slow. They cut like half the ingredients from their salads and I swear they shrunk the proportions. The only saving grace of this place is the atmosphere, but I would highly discouraged anyone about to eat there. Based on the responses from the newer owners or management I don't even think that complaining to them will get you anywhere but more disappointments. Truly a sad day that such an established place has gone overpriced and trash. read more

Great pizza spot! Their pizzas are super unique and all delicious (we have tried them all). The service is great and the building is beautiful. The salads and breads are also amazing. Glad we have this spot so close! read more

This was my favorite meal of my vacation. Everything was excellent. The bread and salad were very tasty, but I absolutely loved the trout and the seasoned vegetables that came with it. Ordered a cocktail and a mocktail to try, and really enjoyed both of them. This is a place you must come while in Jacksonville. I will be back if I am ever in the area again. read more

We stopped here at the recommendation of a local couple - it was perfect for a weekend lunch with kids! We arrived at 12:30 on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. Servers were friendly and responsive. Kids Mac and Cheese was actually the best we've had anywhere (I was reaching over to get extra bites from my 10-year old!) my husband and I also agreed the clam chowder was outstanding. Better than Mo's on the Oregon Coast. Kids gave the pizza high marks. It has the feel of a cozy old saloon, but seats by the window were a bit chilly. We'll return next time we're in town! read more

Loved the atmosphere at Bella Union! The patio is peaceful, charming, and perfect for a relaxing meal. Great service and a welcoming vibe all around. Can't wait to come back!

My son and daughter-in-law wanted a southern Oregon dining experience. They were visiting from an obscure community near Louisville, KY. We took them to Bella Union in Jacksonville and coud not have been more pleased. The Bella Burger ($20) is my favorite. We sat in the bar for a late lunch. It was too nippy to sit in the scenic dining area outside. Very pleasant. A great place to take out of towners. read more

I loved the ambiance. Not sure about the back rooms that feel a little compartmentalized, but the stars of the ambiance show are the bar area and the patio. This is a weird way to put it, but the secluded, lit, pretty recessed patio was as formal as you can get without being formal at all. It just seems nice but casual. The funky, casual bar has saloon vibes despite the kitschy feel, so I found it very welcoming and high energy with the overabundance of young staff and the live blues act in a corner stage. I think they were singing the blues because they ate there. Nothing atrocious, but the mushroom appetizer was a bit clunky, with runny but tasty masala sauce. The blood orange hef was one of the best beers I've had. But we weren't a fan of the pizza. The pizza flavors were good, but the crust was somewhere between flatbread and middle school cafeteria. read more

Upon recommendation by our AirB&B hosts we were pleased to sample the food here. We had the choice of being seated in the patio which we opted for. Beautiful tree arbor, and lots of festive lighting. If you prefer a little quieter setting as there is live music and dancing inside, the patio area is quite accommodating. My husband was craving pizza so he ordered the Pear Blossom with several types of cheese including blue cheese. I chose the Mediterranean salad which was huge (see photo) with lots of Kalamata olives my favorite and tasty artichoke hearts. Also the dough knots with the sweet pasta dipping sauce. All the food arrived per their preferred temperatures- pizza was hot, and salad was nice and cold. More then enough food to share and leftovers to take away. Should we venture this way again we will definitely return to the Bella Union and ask for Alise who is very friendly and personable as our server. Prices are very reasonable. Overall a 5 star review. read more
