It's fine and I'd return. Open all afternoon and nearby an excellent golf course. The reviews about "best place in town" are due to a lack of good food anywhere around. Montana's motto "The Last Best Place" is true, but is not referring to its restaurants or grocery stores. The parmesan cheese is in a condiment rack on the table, kept there overnight. Walking in, you're greeted by an overweight teenager who frowns upon seeing you. The server thinks running around feeling put upon is a sign of good service. The food is surprisingly not bad, a step-up from Dennys and prepared well. The pasta sauce is hinting at Del Monte canned tomato paste, artificial flavorings combined with sodium. The salad is lettuce sprinkled with packaged cabbage and carrot shreds, and includes croutons made from last night's leftover bread. The interior is a tight rectangle with cheap wooden chairs on a finished tile floor so every time someone gets up, the chair legs make a loud slamming sound. Couldn't decide between 2 or 3 stars. read more

Was surprised to find this gem on our stop over in Anaconda. Very inviting interior with good food and friendly wait staff.

Incredible food and service. The was authentic to that from Italy. The truffle mac and cheese was delicious.

Salads are phenomenal. Get the bread sticks to go with your salads. Excellent Italian main courses as well.

An outstanding dining experience out on the prairie. The service, the meal and the check were amazing. The Tuscan fries for appetizers were amazing. The portions for the chicken parmigiana and the fettuccine Alfredo were huge. The wine list was just right and the server and kitchen staff were amazing. Taking leftovers back to the hotel to feed the kids. Well worth the trip read more

Amazing Italian food! Bit spendy, especially for bigger groups. Can get really busy at night but worth it.

Stopped for a quick bite. Pizza was amazing! I am a vegetarian- was excited to see there were a couple of choices. read more

I went there for dinner. The meal was good. Only 1 server was wearing the mask correctly as mandated by govener and when I questioned it I was treated extremely ruddly! read more

If you are in Anaconda do yourself a favor and stop into O'Bella for lunch or dinner. We were looking for a decent lunch during a 10 hour drive to Flathead lake and decided to try O'Bella. Between the 3 of us we had, gluten free pasta with bolognese, chicken picatta, and gluten free truffle mac and cheese. All were delicious. I had read reviews about the mac and cheese and I'll just say it lives up to the hype! Service was excellent, which is a far cry from most restaurants right now. O'Bella was so good we decided to have lunch again on our way back home from vacation. Definitely worth the stop. read more

Passing through town on our way to Georgetown Lake we decided to stop for dinner and were pleasantly surprised! Nice atmosphere, great wine selection and delicious Italian food ~ what more do you need? We will definitely be back for more! read more

O'Bella - Chicken Piccata - Italian Near Me - Anaconda, Montana

staceemalcolm (1 review) O'Bella - Anaconda, Montana First off, the breadsticks looked so good I overlooked my gluten sensitivity to try one. It was totally worth it. It was hard to not polish off the whole plate of them. I had an Italian wedge salad that was phenomenal and ended with the GF version of the Truffle Mac. Everything was excellent and I'm going back today to try something else! Oh... I tried the calamari too! GF! It was awesome!! read more

Dropped in on NYE (Dec 2018).... this place is REALLY worth it. Fantastic breadsticks, wine was good. Definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

O'Bella - Italian Near Me - Anaconda, Montana

Wow - what a surprise this place is! The quality of the meal we had here was something that we would expect to find in places like San Francisco, Charleston, or Los Angeles - not a tiny little town like Anaconda! I had the chicken pesto pasta with sun dried tomatoes and pine nuts with a lovely glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and my husband had a pizza. We shared a Caesar salad. Everything was truly delicious, the staff was welcoming, professional, and efficient, and the restaurant itself is lovely. We will definitely come here again! read more

This was a perfect little family owned restaurant that had superb food. We go to a lot of little "hole in the wall" restaurants that are locally owned, and this was by far one of the best. Everything was fresh and well made, and I can't think of anything that could have been wrong. Even the staff was a joy to deal with! read more

Don't bother guessing if this is where you want to go for dinner. Such a gem!!! Passing thru Anaconda and we had the great pleasure of dining here! Orderes the tiger shrimp and breadsticks for appetizers! Hily shi$^$&%&# these were great! Breadsticks.... by far still on my mind! Ordered the delmonico steak which came with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and chinese broccoli. That steak was soooooo savory and delicious. Potatoes buttery and delish! Even my greens were salted perfectly! Wife had the spaghetti and meatballs. Superb! Nice hot plate that was just great! Chef came out to meet and greet us too! Ive been to fine dining and great restaurants throught southern california... they all need to come by Anaconda and learn a thing or two at O'Bella! read more

I apologize about the "spinach"... was it a dried up piece of basil? Anyway, sorry for the double post on O'Bella but that was a glitch in the matrix. My first review disappeared, so I posted a 2nd time. read more

Great Italian food. Have eaten here 3 times all were excellent in both food and service.

Incredible little place! It was recommended by the staff at The Fairmont Hot Springs Resort and what a find! Clean and very well decorated with nice music. The staff was incredibly helpful and courteous. The bread sticks were the best I have had and I lived in Germany and spent tons of time in Italy. The Spaghetti with Bolognese Sauce was primo and the Chicken Parmesan was top notch. We were very impressed and will definitely be coming back, if only to eat here and nothing else. Bravo! read more

Food and service never disappoints. The wine list is extensive and reasonably priced. I asked to have my food to go and they were super accommodating by adding silverware and a paper plate. This is a must stop. The Caprese salad was an entire tomato...so delish and easy to split. Meatballs are also amazing. read more

Delightful breadsticks, plenty of gluten free options, including calamari! Nice presentation and food flavors. Deelish read more

Oooooh my goodness! You MUST try this place if you are near Anaconda. We got the garlic breadsticks and would highly recommend them if you love garlic as much as we do. I got the fettuccine alfredo with chicken, in future I would probably get it with a meatball instead or something because my boyfriend got the spaghetti with meatballs with the bolognese and that was also SO yummy! Every bit was good. We were both pleased with the wine selection as well. Staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. All for reasonable prices. Can't recommend enough!! read more

So this has quickly become my favorite hometown restaurant. Their quality is excellent and the atmosphere is Italian without being cheesy and cliched. Once you walk in in you are treated to Sinatra crooning through the speakers, the background music being a delightful mix of crooners, the lamps hanging over each table are beautiful colored glass that give off a soft glow instead of a harsh glare. The staff is amazing and attentive, and you'll often see the owner bustling through the place, checking on diners. I'm a huge fan of the breadsticks, twisted together to resemble a unicorn horn (as my niece says, an order of 'unicorn twists'), it comes with the ranch and pomodoro sauces. My favorite salad is the small wedge and followed by the excellent Black Truffle Mac and Cheese, with gruyere cheese and black truffle sauce, orecchiette pasta baked with panko on top and served with a warm roll. This is my favorite thing to get here, even though the fettuccine and scampi are divine. Their pizzas, delicious and authentic, are perfect for take out (you can eat them there but whenever I'm in the mood for pizza I prefer to go and pick up here rather than delivery from the Hut). I've had a couple of their desserts, they are just as divine as the rest of the meal. So if you're looking for somewhere nice for dinner out in Anaconda (or don't mind make the trip into town) this is the place. read more

Atmosphere is inviting and comfortable. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Bread sticks were really good. Salad dressings are great. Chicken parmigiana was decent, but a little over cooked. Drip coffee was burned and cold. My daughter enjoyed her pasta and said that the marinara sauce was "just okay". I rated it four stars based on the atmosphere, staff, and appetizer. read more

Food was excellent! What made it even better was our server Cam. She took great care of us and gave recommendations. Every place should have someone like her!!! read more

Great little Italian restaurant! The atmosphere is very relaxed and family friendly while still having a hint of that classic Italian restaurant formality. There's plenty to choose from on the menu and all of it seems very authentic. If you're from out of town make sure to try one of the local beers on tap! read more

Amazing, we have fast service amazing food and I loved the friendliness of the restaurant and how well we were treated. There was fast service and very respectful waiters. read more

What a gem. Freshly baked light and flaky bread dough covered in cheese and garlic butter. By far the best bread sticks I've ever had. Service was fast, friendly, and answered all our questions happily. The servings were very large and we all had leftovers to take home. The tiger shrimp appetizer was tasty and the shrimp were cooked to perfection. We rarely go to a restaurant twice while on vacation, but we'll be back before we head home. read more

Superb chicken Marsala... did not expect to find this quality in a small town but more than pleasantly surprised!

Little tiny Italian spot in Anaconda. Always fresh and made from scratch. Some of the best Italian food I have found...ever.

OMG if you like calamari you HAVE to get it here! The calamari itself was cooked perfectly with delicious GF breading and the lemon aioli sauce was to die for! We both had lemon piccata, GF again!, and it was wonderful! The place has wonderful ambience and is very clean. We will be back when we are back in town in a month. My new favorite restaurant in the area! There were two other GF options for dinner and GF pasta. All the salads were GF too. They make all the salad dressings, sauces and the rolls (I think) from scratch. Update: went back and had the GF Alfredo with shrimp. Noodles were slightly under cooked. I took most of my dinner home and nuked it and had it for lunch. It was better. I will rave about their homemade cheesecake...it was SOOO good I ate the whole thing on the way home (minus the crust!) Once I took one bite, I couldn't stop! Chicken Marsala was excellent per hubby 10/8/19 Another Update: excellent calamari, spaghetti and GF Alfredo with shrimp. And the peanut butter cheesecake to die for! read more

Our favorite restaurant for pasta, steak, pizza, and chicken. Their soups are amazing and change all the time. Yummy salads and a wonderful and friendly staff. Oh ... and the bread. I'll bet you can't eat just one. If you haven't been, you will definitely not be disappointed and would bet you will return. And during these challenging times trying to run a successful eatery, I'm glad they don't force the stupid, useless masks on us!! read more

Probably the best breadsticks I've ever had. Oasis Pizza was also very good. The beet salad, however, left a lot to be desired; under dressed and bland. I was very surprised to find this little gem in Anaconda, I would definitely go back. read more

We were a group of 15 family members coming through town from the ski hill. They were so accommodating to getting us all to sit together and found a place for us to all visit while we waited for them to get our tables all together. I wished I could remember the young man's name who waited on us because he was so good. The place was packed and he had other tables and he kept up with our group. The pizza was amazing and the rest of the food was great too. We do this family trip each year and this will for sure be an annual stop. read more

I stop by for lunch just moving into town and trying to find good places to eat. I was more than impressed when I walked in the door, a real feeling of an Italian diner. Absolutely loved hearing Dean Martin, Frank, ella, piped through the speakers. The food was excellent, but OMG the coffee!! I will definitely go back and try more of the menu items and happy to see they offer gluten free alternatives. read more

Amazing!!! Started with bread sticks. You have never had bread sticks like this, trust me. You will not be disappointed. We had the garlic chicken pizza. Absolutely wonderful. Everything was fantastic from our great waiter to the clean restroom. read more

I'm a hard one to please when it comes to Italian food and especially being gluten free. Hands down this is the best Italian food I have ever had. Fresh made to order ingredients are brilliantly prepared offering the most exquisite flavors and texture. The personal service and ambiance perfected the experience. We had the oh so amazing breadsticks, calamari, Mac n cheese, and the Alfredo and we will be back for more! Well done! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

I used to love their black truffle Mac and cheese, but I realized, when my friend found the staff wearing masks on their chins and was told to leave if she didn't like it, that they do not want my business. I'm caregiver for someone with COPD and can't be around unmasked people. If they don't want me in their restaurant now, during pandemic, I certainly won't patronize in the future. This also made me wonder what other health/safety regulations they refuse to comply with. Gross. read more

We were visiting family in the Anaconda area and stopped in for dinner. What a great addition to this little town. The wine list was great, service superb, and the Black Truffle MAC 'n Cheese was delicious! We will definitely recommend to everyone we know passing through and we will be back! read more

We had a great dinner at O'Bella!!! Our son loved the truffle Mac and cheese!! Calamari was crispy and delicious ! Homemade New York style cheesecake was perfect with my affogato. read more

A fantastic Italian dinner! Pasta and steaks were on point. Service and wine were excellent! We are from Seattle and this place was as good if not better than any small Italian cafe on Cap Hill. Owner is from Portland and it shows! read more
