Ordered this to go and brought it home, and the food once again delivered where it matters most:…read moreflavor. The pizza is consistently good, which is why I keep coming back. The one recurring issue is that the pies often are not cut. It may seem minor, but for a takeout order, that detail matters even more because convenience is part of the experience. Thankfully, a kind gentleman helped us out this time, and that service did not go unnoticed. The lasagna was another win. My son said it was very good, full of flavor, and really hit the spot for him, which made it a standout from the order. We also added a bottle of ranch. I could not tell whether it was house-made or bottled, but it paired well with the pies and added a nice extra touch to the meal. The food remains the highlight, but this is a small operational detail that should be handled right every time. For takeout, cutting the pizza should not be something the customer has to remember to request.

Lovely restaurant bar with a small TV to watch the World Cup…read more The food here is absolutely amazing. Some of the best Italian I've had. The calamari was crispy and light on the outside and tender on the inside with a delicious dipping marinara. The pizza was wonderful with lots of toppings. I had the spaghetti amatriciana with shrimp that was beautifully displayed absolutely the best I've ever had. So hungry I started eating and forgot to take a picture. If you like spaghetti that is slightly spicy and absolutely delicious definitely how that dish. The service is fabulous. They continually would check in to see if we needed anything and offered another bowl of dipping sauce when we ran out for calamari. Jason are waiter. Mention the owner is from Sicily and the recipes are from his part of Italy. It is evident this is authentic and the real deal. This is a place I would go out of my way for to travel to and eat fabulous! And a beautiful part of Chula Vista off the beaten back path from San Diego, but worth it.

I really wanted to love this place because the restaurant itself is beautiful and the ambiance is…read morenice enough, but after multiple visits I can officially say I just don't understand the hype. The food was... meh. Not terrible, but definitely not memorable. I don't mind paying over $100 for a meal if it feels special or tastes amazing -- I'll gladly pay for quality. But this just didn't deliver. The pizzas are on the smaller side, and we paid extra for extra cheese and honestly I'm still wondering where it went. If that was extra, I'd hate to see the regular amount. We ordered two salads, two pizzas, two desserts, and two glasses of wine and left with a bill over $100 feeling underwhelmed rather than impressed. Service felt mediocre and robotic -- not rude, just not warm or attentive. I've given this place a few chances because everyone seems to love it, but unfortunately it's just not for me. Beautiful restaurant, average experience, and I won't be returning.

The pizza was good, thin, and it was nice that they warm it up for you too! I got the machado sub and damn that thing was crispy, massive, and meaty I'd get it again.

I love that you can actually sit and eat here, so we did just that with some friends.

I was also craving their torpedo, and man, that thing was great too. The service was friendly, the place is covered in cool pizza art, and while it's not the biggest spot, it's 100% worth it for the pizza and the sit-down vibe. we'll definitely be back.

5 stars BUT Leroy SUCKS…read more Went to La Bella's and Anna plus the rest of the staff were awesome. Good vibes, good service, no issues at all... until Leroy decided to power trip for absolutely no reason. Dude kicked us off our table because we "weren't playing pool" even though literally nobody needed the table and it stayed empty and unused the rest of the night. If people were waiting, cool, understandable. But kicking paying customers out just to leave it sitting there empty is clown behavior. Big shoutout to Anna and the actual good staff there, but Leroy seriously killed the vibe for no reason. Management might wanna figure out why one employee thinks he's the Pool Table Police. Made us take our food to go, will be back but i will dog on Leroy until he's fired.

The chicken bites are so crispy, the buffalo is just the right amount of tang and spice. I am personally not a fan of the cheese bits (I forgot to ask them to remove them with ordering), but they're pretty easy to pick off. I think they're blue cheese? Not sure, but not my favorite. It didn't ruin the dish however for me! The pizza is the classic if I'm not wrong. Pepperoni, mozzarella, and basil. The crust is thin, perfectly toasted where you get just the right amount of crunch when you reach the crust. The crust isn't heavy or thick. Personally, I think one pizza could be enough for one person if you're only eating pizza. I can't wait to return and try more off their menu!

I got the jumbo shrimp with squid ink, the ribeye, and the carbonara. The ribeye was covered in sauce, which I personally would've preferred without, but it was still good.

I was also a huge fan of the double-sided balsamic vinegar and olive oil bottle at the table. Overall, definitely a good Italian spot for sure here in Chula.

The veal was excellent quality but extremely dry, Veal Marsala normally is swimming in Marsala with mushrooms all around, not here (see photos), so dry and $6.00 more than any restaurant in Little, Italy. But not as delicious. The fettuccine Alfredo was also a disappointment 4 me. Needed a bit of garlic and a dash of salt. Boring. Bad service, Boring pasta, and dry veal. Order the Veal Parm. you'll should be happy. Very high price point. I'm being magnanimous with 2 stars.
