    It's astounding that so many people say this place is so good, and the Margherita pizza is the best pizza ever. We got that and the Salsiccia pizza, and they both were very subpar. I would probably say the worst pizza I've ever had. They were very expensive for what they were. The Margherita pizza was mostly sauce with a little cheese and three pieces of basil. The sauce tasted like regular pizza sauce, nothing special. And the Salsiccia had no sauce. The garlic was nothing to talk about. The only good thing was the sausage. And the crust was just dry bread. I didn't even want to eat the crust, it was so dry and plain. There was more crust than pizza in some parts, especially on the Salsiccia pizza as you can tell from the picture. The only thing that we enjoyed was the atmosphere! And the employees seemed friendly. Other than that, we would never be back.

    True Italian done extremely well. It's a very cool place to eat dinner. The staff is very friendly from the time we met the guy at the door till the time we sat down our waitress and everything was 1st class. Our waitress was very accommodating very informative and gave us all lots of options.. We had a party of 8 so we tried 3 different appetizers and most everything on the menu. Not one single complaint and everyone actually ranted and raved about how good it was. I would not hesitate to go back truly top notch food and service! A rare combination now a days

    Amazing, quaint, and absolutely worth it. A rare yet, prestigious find in Nashville, Tennessee. A combination of Litte Italy and authenticity will leave you saying "Yes!" to a cannoli or two. A true pleasure to wine and dine at this romantic, yet family friendly establishment. You will feel as if you are a 1000 miles away and right at home.

    Authentically Italian. The “sapore” of the pizza is the same as back home in FVG. The recommended wine paired perfectly with my Margherita. The owner, Francesco, offered a beautiful, aromatic and chilled limoncello that was simply INCREDIBLE!! If you haven’t gone, GO!!!

    Really love this place. Open kitchen so you can watch them make the food. It really is authentic Italian. Very busy place, I would recommend getting a reservation. Great service. The Nutella pizza is a must for dessert.

    Received there flyer under my hotel door and decided to patronize business. Witnessed cashier wipe a bug off the counter and proceed to preparing food. I totally could not believe my eyes. We immediately rescinded order and left establishment.

    The lady on the phone was nice but once I got into the restaurant, the guy who prepared my pizza was so rude and disrespectful. I wasn’t dressed in the best clothes because I was picking up the order, but he looked at my with disgust, also talked to me aggressively once my pizza was ready. A friend referred me to this place, but if this is the treatment you get, I’m never coming back. The pizza also barely has any cheese and it was extremely burnt.

    Sensational service and quality that towers above many local restaurants. A true taste of Italy. Glad we took the expert advice of our server who recommended great wines and dishes. Their pizza and bolognese sauce is so absolutely perfect! Take a seat outside on their cozy patio and you’ll feel transported to your favorite little Italian ristorante!

    Great location off the beaten path, quick service, and fantastic people. I know that this is supposed to be an authentic experience and this is me looking at it from a Midwestern American perspective but for the cost we unfortunately were unimpressed. The good: I will say that this was a very unique place to eat. The atmosphere and area were great. They had wonderful service and all the staff that I interacted with were wonderful. The bad: The food was very pricy. We ended up getting 2 pizzas and spent $40. Mind you that normally this would be acceptable however were talking about thin 9 inch pizzas. I am not a fan of this crust because I believe pizza is more about the toppings however, the lack of toppings made the crust stand out. In our opinion this crust was fairly bland and with very little toppings the overall taste definitely suffered.

    The food was spectacular here. I’d highly recommend giving one of their specials a try. You might end up having something incredible like their braised beef gnocchi. Also, save room for dessert. The flourless chocolate cake is heavenly.

    We have gone so many times. The food is spot on. Never a disappointment with anything we have had. The pizza is a must. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Definitely make reservations otherwise your wait time can be long. We live 4 hours away and would go more if we lived closer. This is a must whenever we come into town.

    The pizza I had ate left me shaking, at that moment I wanted to hug the person who had made it, i intend on returning there with the intention of having the best food I've ever had for the second time. Overall it was beautiful.

    Came here for a friends birthday dinner, and we had a pretty large party. Our server, Willow, was fantastic. The food was excellent, the whole atmosphere was welcoming, and we all had a great time! We will definitely be back.

    Bella Napoli was the first place ever I ate all the crust of the pizza, it was soooooo gooood! And the spaghetti and meatballs?? So good, hot, true brick fired pizza - real Italian ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ A must every time I come to Nashville!

    Bella Napoli in Nashville is a pizza lover's paradise, with exceptional crust, tantalizing toppings, and a friendly staff that make every visit memorable. Don't miss out on this culinary gem that will leave you craving for more!

    We decided to give this restaurant a try while we were waiting for our airbnb house ready. It was easy to find. The street parking was full so we ended up park at a parking lot with fee acrossing from the restaurant. The atmosphere and decor were excellent. Staff were friendly. Unfortunately, we had to wait 15 minutes for our table and 30 minutes for our food. We sat outside since the weather was nice at the time. The food was delicious and delectable.

    We had an amazing experience here with our family. One of the owners, Francesco (who is from Italy), and staff were super kind and took excellent care of us. The lasagna is authentic, prepared meticulously with the finest ingredients, creating a true Italian culinary experience. Their passion for quality is evident in the food and the service, from beginning to end. We will be back for more, every time we visit Nashville. Thank you, Francesco, for sharing your love of Italian food.

    This is a small, reliable Italian restaurant. Reasonable prices. Large portions. Good food. Appropriate for dates, families, celebrations or a simple lunch while wearing sweatpants. My salad maybe had too much dressing but was at least room temperature. The sandwich was awesome and the pizza is delicious. The atmosphere is informal but somehow still chic.

  • 5/5 Charlee e. 5 months ago on Google
    I got pickup from here and had to stop half way through eating my dinner to come review this place…because this is the best chicken parm I’ve ever had. Cool of had a lil more pasta IMO but 11/10

  • 5/5 John D. 5 months ago on Google
    Took an Uber to go here for lunch after reading reviews. My wife and I were not disappointed in the least. We're huge pizza lovers and they may have been the best pizzas we've ever had. The dough was fresh and light, the sauce was delicious, and we left feeling full and satisfied. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Kady A. 5 months ago on Google
    What a wonderful little place we found. To say my husband and I had been having a bad week was an understatement. But this place turned us around quick! So beautiful, staff super nice, the smells coming from the kitchen OMG! The best pizza I've ever had and we will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Robert W. 11 months ago on Google
    Definitely the best Italian we've had in a long time! Our Airbnb host recommended we go so we did and we were not a bit disappointed with our experience! The Aperol Spritz was a nice touch to remind us of Europe. The pastas were so tasty and were perfectly cooked! Gonna come visit again!

  • 5/5 Dani L. 7 months ago on Google
    This is a nice cozy place tucked behind shopping and other dining of sorts. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The artichoke app is the bomb! I def want to go back and try other items. The wine was a new brand for me, I really liked it so the server, Josh, took my phone and grabbed a picture of the bottle for me. Overall great experience!!!

  • 5/5 jackson h. 1 year ago on Google
    Been coming here for like 12 years…. Maybe eventually I’ll correctly pronounce capricciosa! One of my favorite classic Neapolitan pizzas ever, and the outside area is very cute if you go in the summer. Lexi was our server she was great. Also got a cappuccino but I drank it before I could get a picture just trust me that it was good

  • 5/5 Steven W. 1 year ago on Google
    Best seat in the house! The food is spectacular. The service is phenomenal. Salad, pizza, ravioli, cheesecake, and cannolis. 100% recommend. Will definitely return.

  • 5/5 Hyunjeong L. 1 year ago on Google
    Their 8-inch lunch pizza was so great! I ordered a margherita, and I liked it a lot. I will definitely come back to try different menus

  • 4/5 Matthew and Kristen T. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious lunch at Bella Napoli. We ate outside on the patio and the service was excellent. Very accommodating with my daughter too. The food was fresh and well prepared. The pizza crust is exemplary and the panini made from it may have been better than the pizza! Only complaint was the pizza was a little soggy in the very middle, but the flavors were on point and the crust had great color and texture.

  • 5/5 Tara Allen 5. 3 years ago on Google
    Italian owned restaurant with authentic Italian food and wood-fired pizzas, homemade pastas and dressings, and specialty cocktails. The location is in a nice, hidden area with street parking, and you can choose to sit in or outdoors. Staff are very friendly and the vibe is welcoming.

  • 5/5 John M. 2 years ago on Google
    My favorite Italian restaurant. Everything I've ever had here is fantastic. They have a short menu, which is a good thing-- they only put their best stuff out. Can't recommend this place enough!

  • 5/5 David V. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a wonderful time lastnight. Family loved the pizza. The atmosphere was great got to sit outside in the alley which was very nice. We will be back to this local spot. The staff were nice and the food was quick.

  • 4/5 Eric M. 2 years ago on Google
    Location is unique and parking was not an issue, most of Nashville is used to paying for parking. Staff was friendly and attentive, food was good, not that good is bad. Menu is small and not overwhelming by any means but ask your server about special dishes. We ordered salads and they came out with very little dressing, seemed like all we were eating was lettuce. The main courses were very tasty, love the homemade noodles.
