    The food here was amazing and the atmosphere was fabulous! Love the old town feel. We ate here while passing through the area. We have several Italian restaurants back at home and none come close to Bella’s! The rolls and marinara sauce they serve are delicious! Our server was super nice and everyone there was very welcoming. If we’re ever back this direction we will definitely be stopping by again.

    I've been to this restaurant twice within the past two weeks. The first time I went, I was with a friend. Walking into the place, the first thing I noticed was the incredible smell. Fresh baked bread. Yum, right? The waitress brings out a platter of bread and the piece on top was burnt. Where was the fresh bread? I didn’t want to make a fuss. I ordered the Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken. The chicken tasted like it had been boiled and thrown in at the last minute. It was not good. The Alfredo was great though! Our waitress was awesome, even though my friend asked for no ice and her drink came with ice anyway. The atmosphere was very nice. The bathroom was clean. I wasn’t charged for my sweet tea so I thought it must come with our meal. So, even though there were a few mishaps, I didn’t let that stop me from going back. I wanted my family to try the food. Any restaurant can have an off day. Last night, my family and I went to eat there. There were four of us. Once we were seated, the waitress brought out three pieces of bread. She said there was more on the way. Fine with us. We ordered an app of Calamari. Even I wasn’t brave enough to touch that. My husband and son love calamari and they both said it was the worst they’d ever eaten. Our waitress finally came back to the table to inform us that there was no more bread for the night. They were out. Instead of bringing us bread like she’d said she would, she had given it to the next several groups who had arrived. Still, fine. My husband was ok with no bread. She asked if there was a different bread on the menu we’d want instead. We said yes, we’d take the Bruschetta. That stuff didn’t look like Bruschetta. It looked like French Bread soaked in olive oil. It just didn’t taste good. I decided to order the Chicken Parmigiana. The chicken was a lump of chicken, like the size of a fist, not flattened at all. My son ordered the same and his chicken was also a lump of chicken breast that had not been flattened. It tasted ok. I was just disappointed. What did taste great was the Spaghetti that came with it. My husband ordered the Chicken Marsala and he said his chicken tasted like the chef had opened the freezer, opened up a boxed meal, microwaved it, and put it on fresh pasta. My son’s girlfriend ordered the Hawaiian Chicken pizza which she LOVES to eat. She managed to get through one piece and the rest was boxed and is still sitting in our fridge. The bill came to over a hundred dollars. We were charged for our drinks (sweet tea and soda) and also charged for the bread. Had I known the Bruschetta was not free, I would’ve told our waitress not to bring any. There were hits and there were misses. I hope this review doesn’t discourage the people who own the restaurant because is not my intention to hurt their business. I hope that people will eat there and think, that woman is crazy, this food is great! It just wasn’t great for us. There is a reason why people will go spend their hard-earned money at places like Olive Garden instead of mom-and-pop restaurants. I’m all for the mom and pops, which is why I returned and brought my family. If you’re going to charge the same prices as the chain restaurants, at least offer something like a soup or a salad with your meal. You don’t even have to offer both. Be consistent. Do you charge for drinks or not? Will I go back? Yes. I believe in giving places more chances to get better. I didn’t hate the place. I will just order something else and hope for the best. Would I recommend this place? Yes. How can a restaurant get better unless it has constructive honest reviews? I have high hopes for this restaurant.

    Great little Italian spot for a smaller town. My family takes an annual holiday trip to our favorite Italian place in another state, a 45 minute drive we're glad to take because it's so good. This place is darn close! Red and meat sauces are excellent, the pasta is always well cooked. Chicken dishes seem to be pretty standard here, though amazingly the seafood dishes are EXCELLENT. The Alfredo sauces are very garlicky, which is great if you enjoy garlic, of course (which my wife does). Speaking of, their garlic knots are wonderful. Definitely recommend Bella's!

    I usually love the tortellini and stuffed mushrooms. This time was not impressive. 4 Little mushrooms. Will not order that again. Pasta is good though. Should have stick to just that. Normally they send bread as well. I guess someone was lazy tonight. Might be awhile before I order from here again.

    Visiting family and decided to give this place a try. The food was good and portions plentiful. The lasagna was hot and tasty! Rita, our waitress was superb! Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness went a long way. I would definitely come back just to have her as a server. Great job, Rita!!

    Worth the drive from the interstate. Super good staff. Charming downtown. Great rolls. Reasonably priced. Food came out quickly. Attached bar. Military discount.

    I’ve eaten pick up here before and the food has been decent. However I went to eat there last night with my fiancé, and was not what we were expecting at all. The server was nice however didn’t really seem to know how to her job. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms and they tasted almost flavorless and as if they hadn’t been washed. Once we finally got our food (chicken Alfredo and chicken piccata) we noticed the chicken was chewy and rubbery as if it had been boiled and just tossed on last second. The Alfredo I would describe as wet. It had almost no flavor not even a hint of salt or anything. The chicken looked almost uncooked. The piccata was awful with no flavor but left an almost disturbing taste in your mouth. I’ve loved this places good previously but was not impressed with how poorly it was this time around. I cannot forget to include the amount of insects and webs hanging from our light fixtures right above our food. That was quite disgusting.

    A good basic Italian restaurant. We had chicken parmesan and house salad w/chicken, both were edible but nothing special, which pretty much describes the establishment as a whole.

    If you are Italian or ever lived in The Tri State area you will be disappointed. We had the brick oven pizza. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't good. I believe it was some kind of frozen instant crust. The pie was over all mushy like the oven wasn't hot enough. The dough sweet and so was the sauce. This is such a missed opportunity. If only the dough was house made and they turned the oven up. Junction City is in need of real pizzia.

    We’ve been looking for good Italian food since moving to Kansas and Bella’s did not disappoint! The manicotti is the best I’ve ever had!!

    I'm an Italian from Chicago. I'm also owner of a bakery. This place has AMAZING FOOD! 2 cannoli per order, so worth ordering. Service was excellent. Our waitress, Tiffany was outstanding. Hands down the best place I've been to in a long time. A MUST TRY! They even gave a military discount!

    Crazy good Italian food. Steps way above Olive Garden in terms of taste. Service staff is friendly. Wait times can vary depending on how busy they are, but the quality of the food is SOOOO worth it. I have tried, garlic bread, multiple pastas, salads, and pizza from here.....all amazing. What are you waiting for? Give it a try.

    The bread was soft and warm without being doughy at all . I ordered the seafood combo Alfredo. Very delicious creamy Alfredo sauce made the whole dish. My only issue was that the shrimp was not de-tailed and the muscles were not taken out of the shell. While it made for an asthetically pleasing meal, it was a little annoying to eat as I kept getting Alfredo sauce everywhere. The service was friendly and for the price it honestly felt like a steal. I would definitely come back here again

    Great service, very friendly and attentive servers and the pizza was pretty good too. My only suggestion would be baking the pizza for perhaps another couple of minutes. But that also could be more my taste - I like a slightly firmer crust and lightly browned cheese. Price was very reasonable, especially when considering the pizza was larger than expected and it came with dinner rolls to start. Overall, a great place to dine!

    The food is delicious 😋 But the chicken was still pink on the inside and the bread was a little bit dry. This is a good place to eat in at, but not as good when it's delivered.
