Made a reservation for dinner after my recent bodybuilding competition, so you already know I was…read moreready for some good food! We started with the burrata appetizer and a Caesar salad with an extra fried soft boiled egg. Both were excellent. The burrata was so fresh and the eggs on the Caesar salad were perfect. Next, my husband and I split the pepperoni pizza with a side of the Calabrian chili oil (order a side of this oil! It's a must) and the chicken Parmesan entree. Both were so delicious. Highly recommend. Service started off great! Our server was so sweet and got our drinks and took our order so quickly, but then we never saw her again and had to flag her down for our check at the end. I think they may have just been short staffed. Ambiance here never misses though. This place just feels cozy even when it's busy. We had a great experience overall and we will of course be back to this local gem again!

This was such a great brunch experience! Came in on a Sunday morning. While the restaurant was…read morecrowded, we really didn't have a weight to get a table. Our waitress was so sweet with us and answered all of our silly questions that we had about the menu. She was very patient during all of that. We decided to split some entrées and that was definitely a good choice. There's so much on the menu that sounds delicious. I'm a sucker for anything that has pimento cheese on it. So the breakfast sandwich was perfect. The breakfast pizza was also made very well, with a great crust. Luckily for me, I had leftovers and ate the rest of the pizza for a midnight snack. The perfect meal! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone moving forward.

The decor was cool but people are packed in there like sardines. Our service was great which was a nice surprise with the number of people there and the number of people waiting. We were lucky because we were a party of two. I had French onion soup, which was good. However, the pizza was absolutely fabulous! My husband had the meatballs and ziti and said it was really good. I would be getting pizza there all the time if I lived in the area!

We were there for several hours, enjoying every course and many bottles of wine, and he was along for the ride! We sat outside, which felt like a rustic barn in Italy. We started with the bread (AMAZING) and bruschetta, as well as some salads. They have many options to add protein or veggies to any of their dishes. For myself, I got the gnocchi gorgonzola with chicken and roasted veggies. Such a decadent and filling meal! Don't skip on dessert, the tiramisu and other desserts are indulgent! Plan ahead and make a reservation for Pia's for an unforgettable meal that will have you coming back for all of your special occasions!

Me and my family ate here as a party of 7 on Father's Day. Our server Isabella was AMAZING, super…read morenice and attentive!! She was truly the reason I'm writing this, she is one of the nicest servers I've had in a while which is refreshing. We had the meatballs and caesar salad and the meatballs were very good, the caesar salad was good I wish there was more dressing. For my entree I had the table side chicken parm and it was good as well. Now for dessert I had the tiramisu and it was so good!! I'm a sweets person and I loved it as well as everyone in my party. I had one of the spritz drinks which was good. Overall, me and my family decided we'd definitely be back!! The owner came by as well and asked how we were doing which was nice. I recommend you come and try, very good service and food!!

Brooke was a sweet server. She had a full section, but always managed to meet all our needs. I asked her to choose between two dishes, and she said I HAD TO get the Bronzed Salmon. It did not disappoint. The salmon was delish and the whipped potatoes were perfectly seasoned. I did push the golden raisins to the side because I found them unnecessary for the dish, and the cauliflower was pretty raw (I don't think it was supposed to be) but still full of flavor. We got a pitcher of the White Sangria, which was super yummy and refreshing. Lastly, for dessert, we got the chocolate pecan pie. I'm on the fence with that one. It arrived a little deflated. I think it would have been better cold or hot. Room temperature wasn't at it's best.

They put to go boxes on our table after giving us the food, kind of hit us all rudely as they could have waited a bit.

The ambience was amazing, slightly dark, romantic, Frank Sinatra playing overhead, with really cool decor. Karen, the floor manager, greeted us as soon as we walked in. All the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Mitch and Tordy were our bartenders/waiters at the bar and they were amazing and super attentive. They helped us with the menu! They have a full bar. I had the house cab, which was very good, and my husband had Ron Zacapa Centenario Edicion Negra Rum - which he loves and is very hard to find out, at a bar. It was a pleasant surprise!! My husband was disappointed because they were out of the pork chop because they had not received their scheduled meat shipment. But their whole menu does not disappoint!! We started with warm Italian bread in the bag and butter. It was amazing. I ordered the pasta bolognese which was so good! My husband had the 10 oz filet, cooked perfectly medium with a char on it. It was delicious and tender with green beans. The mashed potatoes were in a cast iron dish, super hot and caramelized, so good! Everything was amazing. Nick, the general manager, came by and checked on us. He was super nice. They have 1 bathroom and it was very clean. The restaurant was small and quaint. Great for a date night. I would recommend making a reservation. The whole experience was very easy, very relaxing, and we had a great time and meal experience!! We will be back, when we come back to visit St. Petersburg.

Very nice, welcomed in to the smell of perfectly seasoned meat, greeted and seated quickly. Wanted to buy a pricey bottle of Amarone but the server couldn't really tell me about them. (He should have sent over somebody that could talk wine) We ended up with a 2021 Silver Oak Cabernet with a 96 rating that was really nice. (In case of emergency, Go with what you know. ‍) I had a filet, my friend had a ribeye, they were cooked perfectly and the seasoning was delish. The meal came with a wedge salad, ravioli, string beans and a cannoli for dessert... it was all, very good. Definitely on the pricey side at about $79 for each person. Our server, although friendly and attentive, seemed rushed for us to order, eat and leave. He definitely has not mastered the art of timing. The food gets a 5. The service was good and server wasn't bad but I wouldn't ask for him again. When I'm having a special night out and spending $300 on dinner for two, I want to feel valued and be wowed by the service and unfortunately, this wasn't the case.

My friends and I have been getting a new entree each time we go to share and whereas they all knock it out of the park. I can't get away from the pollo Milano. I once was dating somebody and her car flooded on bayshore due to the high rain (it was a sad and scary moment) but we knew we were going to Bella's after and that honestly turned around our entire night. Waiters are always on it, the inside is always clean and the atmosphere is always at the perfect volume. It's the best place to be. Happy hour, rotating specials, full bar, brick oven. They. Do. It. All. And they do it so well. In a previous review I talked about an Italian restaurant that I felt like missed the mark completely. But Bella's they are doing something magical in that kitchen. All in all, Bella's, if you will, id love to be an ambassador. You all have a life long fan here.

The restaurant is loud and lively due to it being so busy! They have a a great cocktail menu with Italian spritz and rotating specials. For appetizers we did the buffalo chicken pizza which was so delicious!! They have a thin and thick crust pizzas, but this one only came in thick crust. For entrees we did the gnocchi and since they offer pasta half portions, I had the Cacio e Pepe and the rigatoni alla vodka! Both were delicious and that Cacio e Pepe was so creamy. Our server was nice and friendly. The cost for 2 honestly wasn't that bad. I loved all the food and will definitely be back!!

It's recently opened so there were good and things to improve. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Gris which was good but too warm. We asked for ice for our glasses. We ordered oysters from the east coast which were delicious but poorly shucked and no horseradish and you have to ask for cocktail sauce, although we're fine with lemon juice. The Cup and char pizza(pepperoni) was a big square that was bigger than we expected, although it was quite good. We asked about the round version and were told it was thinner. We had pizza to bring home since I wanted to try their pasta. One of my favorites is Cacio E Pepe and theirs had good flavor but the sauce was a little heavy. The spumoni gelato was a nice finish. They had a live singer who was quite good but the sound system was too loud.
