Came for the carb-loading, stayed because I physically couldn't stand up afterwards. ​Stopped by La Bella Italia in Gettysburg, and let's just say the crew running this family-owned spot doesn't play around. Staff is ridiculously friendly and attentive--basically treated me like a long-lost cousin who hadn't eaten in a week. ​We kicked things off with their fresh, house-baked ciabatta paired with an herb-loaded olive oil and butter combo. The bread was so good I almost forgot I had actual food coming. ​The play-by-play: ​Fresh Calamari: Crispy, tender, and served with a killer marinara. Absolutely incredible. ​Braised Beef Ravioli: You only get four on the plate, but these bad boys are built like linebacker kneepads. Homemade pasta, packed with savory beef, and drenched in a sweet marinara. ​Spaghetti alle Vongole: Homemade spaghetti tossed with fresh clams in a rich red sauce spiked with garlic, white wine, and fresh herbs. Fantastic flavor. ​The Pizza: Hey, for Pennsylvania? Pretty solid backup options if you're not going full pasta mode. ​The best part? All their pasta is made completely fresh in-house, and the portion sizes are strictly "feed a Roman army" certified. ​Who knew Pennsylvania Italian food could punch this far above its weight class? 10/10, would willingly accept the inevitable food coma again. read more

Pros: Great menu choices, nice portions, fresh food, great service. Cons: none. Our favorite restaurants in G'burg. Always clean, always your favorite itailian dishes and service is always great. Tonight or server was Caleb and our compliments to Caleb who was top end, very friendly and attentive. TonightbI had Veal Parmigana with Spaghetti. Being from Phill originally I love thier Veal Parm which has a lite crunch on the outside but tender and quick inside topped with the right amount of sauce and cheese. Was perfect. I also had a Canolli for dessert which has such i light and fluffy filling drilled with chocolate sauce, one of the best. Cya next time. read more

La Bella Italia - Eggplant Parm and Tortelloni alla Nonna - Pizza Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

We had our vehicle serviced at the dealership right up the road from this Italian restaurant and we figured to give them a call and order a large pepperoni pizza with extra cheese. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and welcoming the inside when I walked in, is very clean, very presentable and very much decorated like an Italian restaurant should be . The pizza is very good, but whoever is making it and should be aware that the center of the pizza the crust is so paper thin that it is barely there. It would be nice if they would level that center of the pizza out to be consistent with the outer edges, but overall the pizza was really good and yes, we would go back and get another one if in the area read more

La Bella Italia - This is the SMALL Stromboli! Delicious! - Pizza Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

I was so disappointed when we ate here. We were in town a few weeks ago and this place looked so good. The food was just mediocre.. a true let down and we left unsatisfied. Our waitress disappeared and left us waiting for the ticket and refills. The establishment was very neat and reminded of Italy.. but the food was not a reminder. read more

Food is superb and service is timely. One of my favorites. Eat in or take out. La Bella's one of my Gettysburg favorites for a long time . . . read more

We've eaten here probably a dozen times, and each occasion was a pleasant and delicious experience. Being residents of Gettysburg and not choosing to eat out today, we ordered takeout and were again pleased. I fancied an antipasta salad, and my wife Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp ( there was a lotta shrimp!) The Fettuccine came with fresh, warm garlic bread. We ordered and paid online and included a tip, knowing from previous experiences that we were in for a gustatory delight. I ordered the French dressing on my antipasta salad for a change. Both meals were ample in size for sure. La Bella does have a few tables out front for outdoor dining, however York Street (also is Route 30) is busy with tourist, truck, as well as local traffic and can get loud. Wine and beer is sold on-site, however I didn't see a full bar anywhere. The have male and female bathrooms which are clean. Our servers have always been friendly and accommodating. The parking lot is reasonably large, and there is a traffic light at the intersection, thus pulling out after eating is stress free. If you fancy Italian food or just a hearty and delicious meal, check out LA Bella Italia in Gettysburg. read more

It's hard to find a great calzone! I've tried them all around the country and mostly been disappointed. I was in Gettysburg, PA recently and discovered La Bella Italia. What a pleasant surprise to find a restaurant that makes a perfect calzone! I ordered the "small" size (pictured) for about $11 which was larger and heavier than the plate! It was baked to perfection with quality ingredients in a tasty crust! It was certainly in my Top 5 favorites around the country. The rest of our group were equally pleased with their meals. If you come to Gettysburg to see the battlefield, be sure to have a meal at La Bella Italia! read more

Tumeric in italian food just isn't right. At least listed as an ingredient. Couldn't even eat my dinner. But the service was outstanding. read more

Food was absolutely amazing, and Danica was a great server. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

The parking lot is a bit restrictive but there is parking next to the DMV next door. When you walk in you are immediately hit with the smell of a pizzeria with their ovens right up front. The service was outstanding and attentive with everything appearing to be very clean. Their beer and wine list is a bit small but they have the basics. The garlic bread was really good but the star of it was the red sauce to dip the bread, amazing. The penne carbonara was very good and creamy. The only thing I'm upset about is not getting to try their pizza. read more

Went here during our visit to Gettysburg. Kids split a medium pizza (had 1 slice leftover). We ordered the calamari, chicken marsala, and braised beef ravioli. The calamari was great, and the chk marsala was good too but a little oily. The braised beef ravioli was fantastic - easily the best of our selections. For dessert we all split the lava cake and tiramisu. I wasn't expecting too much considering our location but the food and service here was a pleasant surprise. I would definitely recommend to others. read more

Good service, good food. Food came out quickly, fresh homemade bread and our server, Sarah was very personable

Perfect spot after a day of exploring the battlefields! Also a plus is the parking, as it is not located right downtown. The ambiance is sweet, Italian villa. Many pizza, pasta, sandwich, and salad options. My table enjoyed pizza, Buffalo chicken wraps, and mozzarella sticks. Our waitress was kind and accommodating. read more

We were delighted to see fresh breads were being made as we walked into the restaurant. Awesome! The foods were delicious and generous portions. Service was great and attentive.

We just moved to Gettysburg and this is our first time dining at this restaurant. We are definitely going to return as our experience was great. The food is fabulous, service most gracious & the atmosphere was comforting. We are so glad we found this restaurant. read more

This was my first time ordering from here. I noticed it many times as I was driving through town for business. I decided to grab an antipasto salad before I headed out of town. I called the order in and I was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. It was ready when promised. The place was clean, the staff was friendly and for a Monday morning, you could tell that they were already starting to get busy. The antipasto was filled with meat, cheeses, mushrooms, cucumbers, green peppers, and tomatoes. The lettuce was fresh and crisp. I got the house Italian dressing, which had a nice flavor to it. I will come back again and order the salad! I will have enough to eat for dinner this evening as well! read more

Food was awesome!! Place looks amazing!! Staff was super friendly. Did I mention the food was awesome? They have rare specials that are limited time, so you never know what special thing is coming from the kitchen. If you like Italian you definitely should go. I never made it to desert, but I'm sure it's good too. I just got stuffed before we got to it. The salad had a house dressing I ordered, oh so good. I love good fresh Italian food, and it was so good. read more

It's not as authentic as it originally was.... Good place to get decent Americanized Italian food with the tourist twist and a cold Peroni. I've lived in Italy for 9yrs......sooooo read more

La Bella Italiana was a fashionable, intelligent restaurant. I went here on a Gettysburg trip with 17 other people. One thing that surprised me was that they had an open table for enough people for all of us plus our 3 chaperones. The food took a long, long while to be prepared, but to be fair, the food was for 20 total people and was served by one waiter. I greatly enjoyed the food and it was some of the best pizza I've ever had. Needless to say, I would rather go here than not. I would come back, highly recommended. read more

I can only speak for the pizza, but it was fantastic. My coworker brought a pie for our lunch break. Extremely fresh and cooked perfectly. It was on a whim but they were able to get it out quickly for us which we really appreciated. I will definitely consider dining-in sometime in the near future. Highly recommended if you're craving a nice strong Italian pizza from a real Italian restaurant. I'm confident anything on the menu would be delicious. read more

This was one of the best pizzas we ever had. If you like New York style this crust then you won't be disappointed. We also had a Mediterranean salad. It was very fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is very cozy with light music. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back. read more
