Excellent experience! The service was excellent, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was excellent! Definitely made our Top Ten. The restaurant is smaller so their are people talking around you but we had no problem having our own conversation. The restaurant is very pretty and comfortable. They have a heated outdoor patio. Parking is right beside the restaurant or nearby. Very walkable town for after dinner right exploring and they are right next to a nice park. I had the pecan crusted chicken and it was DELICIOUS! My husband had a pasta dish with artichokes and sausage and he loved it! Also tried the smoked chicken egg rolls for our appetizer and it was the best I’ve ever had. We had Italian strawberry cream cake for dessert and it was light and yummy. We will be going back soon.

First time coming here and the hospitality was outstanding! Our server was Bella and she was perfectly attentive and kind. Team work played a huge role in this establishment and it goes along way and it showed! My husband and I felt very welcomed and on top of all of it, the food was excellent! My husband got his whole course off of the daily specials! Sitting out on the patio, enjoying our food was amazing. Thank you Bella Cucina and Alex for the great service you provide for your guests, family, and friends!

We called ahead for a reservation. Yesterday Bella introduced a new menu and a crowd was expected. Bella was busy but there were plenty of empty tables. We were immediately seated and bread and oil appeared with menus. After spending a few minutes with the menu we found we were given old menus….Duh.
So we looked at the new menu. To be honest, I preferred the old. There was too much chicken on the new.
We ordered and enjoyed the time looking the place over. The decor and table service is very up scale. The wait staff were smartly dressed as well.
The down side was the noise level. 80-90Db is well above the restraunt standard of 70Db. At times conversation was difficult.
Our food came quickly. Nicely plated. The Brussel Sprout dish was fine as were the potatoes. The steak was excellent. The blended red we drank with dinner was sweet but good. We skipped dessert and coffee. The entire meal was well above what I thought we would find in Franklin.
Very pleased with our meal. Wouldn’t hesitate to return.

What a delicious surprise to find such an exquisite restaurant in quaint Franklin PA! The food was not only scrumptious but it each plate was presented like a work of art. Ava the owner was so pleasant and even created a spot on the patio for us to sit. Staff was very friendly and made us feel like family. We came back again two days later for another amazing experience. Highly recommend this lovely dining experience. Duck egg rolls were out of this world!

What an amazing place! My wife and I had dinner there for our 10th wedding anniversary, and we were blown away. The food was to die for. Our server, Sarah, was amazing! The atmosphere was awesome. The Porcupine Scallops were the most unique appetizer ever, and they were delicious! We can’t wait to return.

This is, by far, my favorite restaurant in the greater Franklin area. The food is fantastic and the service is just as good. I have never had a meal I didn’t love and if I lived closer, I’d be there all the time. The Brie strip steak, brussel sprout salad and chocolate pecan pie made for a delicious Saturday evening meal! Don’t think about it, just go!
Update:
Stopped in for light up night. They have great Christmas drink specials and a fantastic staff. I love the Christmas season and they made the start of this one very special!

I have always enjoyed every meal and experience here. The food, atmosphere, service and pricing are all perfect. Every meal is well plated, full of flavor, perfect temperature, and the right sized portions. The Gorgonzola dressing is so good and I order it every time. The salads are fresh, made with spring mix, and have a variety of veggies and fresh sliced cheese. I ordered a sandwich from their specials of the day. It had 2 eggs, peppers, cheese, arugula, and a tasty aoili in between two pieces of bread and was served with a side of a tomato soup. I thoroughly enjoyed all my food and the flavors. Everything is homemade and well thought out. I will continue coming here.
The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. It’s a great place to go as a family or if you are out for a nice lunch or dinner date.
