We recently stopped at La Bella Valatie for lunch. The restaurant was recommended to us by a couple different people and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is very charming and they use real linens. The service was very good too. We were warmly greeted on our way in, and thanked on our way out. The food was delicious and hot, and the lunch portion was just the right size. We enjoyed the chicken parmesan with penne. They were out of garlic knots; however, fresh and tasty garlic bread wedges with some sauce was substituted.

La Bella has been my go to Italian restaurant for years and the food and service were always outstanding. Recently though something has changed. A couple weeks ago I ordered a white pizza with broccoli and it had way more ricotta was used than normal, it overpowered the flavor of the broccoli and the garlic sauce. The wings I ordered with it were good, but had absolutely no spice to them.
Last night I ordered chicken parm, which was about a 3rd of the size it normal is and was still $26. I also ordered a meatball parm sub and there was barely any sauce on it and the meatballs were dry, crumbling, and unseasoned. The delivery also missed it’s window by almost 20 minutes, and while the driver apologized all of the food was cold. So either he didn’t use a warming bag, or the order was forgotten at the restaurant and allowed to get cold instead of being remade. I’m not sure what’s been going on lately, but La Bella needs to show up if I’m going to get ordering from here.

We went on a Wednesday night expecting it to be quiet. The place was packed and we had to wait. We did get a seat after about 10 or 15 minutes. The service was very good the atmosphere was friendly and warm and the food was good. I ordered a pizza with spinach and tomatoes on it. The spinach was put on in little piles and tomatoes were fat pieces. Does spinach was well roasted and quite bitter. And the Tomato pieces were too big. Otherwise the pizza was delicious.

Eggplant is always delicious, never soggy! The pizzas that are always amazing in my opinion, and I give a lot of credit to the staff for their dedication to great service. Food is usually quite good, and consistent. We had a VERY RARE “negative” experience with the marinara sauce recently, but this was a one off in my opinion as I have ordered a lot and typically we are very happy, it will not stop us from ordering in the future. I would certainly recommend, and I do want to give a shout out to owners/management, they care about your experience and want to make sure everyone is satisfied.

Went for family dinner and we will return again. We had a large party so had made a reservation ahead of time and had no issues there. I think they were unexpectedly busy for a monday so our service was a bit slow and underwhelming but the staff themselves were lovely. All dishes came out warm, as described and as ordered. Nothing was forgotten and they even brought Parmesan cheese. Soup, mozz sticks, salads, Pizza, chicken parm, a few pasta dishes, tortellini and carbonara. Not all classically prepared but delicious nonetheless. I will say the chicken soup was the real winner for me… it was hot, full of chunky ingredients and the flavor was superb!!!
We will return again and try some more items on the menu!
