Bella Mia Cucina Italiana Bar

Honestly a great place, service was prompt and extremely nice and the food was amazing. I had the pomegranate margarita while my wife had the apricot old fashioned. My wife had the frutti di mare while I had the steak risotto. The Fruti was extremely good nice flavors a and a good combination of types of seafood. The steak mushroom risotto in my opinion really shined. Very tender and a great cut of meat that paired extremely well with the risotto. We finished it up with a daily dessert special of a Cannoli cheesecake that was probably one of the best cheesecakes I have ever had at a restaurant. Great place and worth a try. Definitely recommend a reservation as they are smaller and you can't guarantee availability if you do a walk-in depending on the day.

This is our go to Italian restaurant . Me and my husband go the local quite often and the server there told us their sister restaurant is Bella Mia, ever since we went to Bella Mia we have been regulars. The meatballs are amazing! And have consistently been amazing every time. We have probably tried everything on the menu, and there isn’t one thing we didn’t like! The atmosphere here is very quiet and an intimate setting. Which we love! I love that they play Italian music . Give you the feels like you’re in Italy. My husband is half Italian and this is his favorite Italian restaurant, which says a lot! The steak here is to die for, I don’t know how they do it but they literally cook the steak PERFECT every time, I’m a big red meat eater which I’m soooo picky when it comes to my steak. And I love it here. It’s also VERY affordable! You get a filet and risotto for a little under 30 you can’t beat that especially for the quality you get here! And omg don’t get me started with the chicken Parmesan! That’s my husband’s favorite! The chicken is literally as big as the plate, they don’t skip out on portion! You will never leave hungry! Haha. Anyways I don’t want to get carried away, you will have to come in the restaurant to see for yourself! Last but not least I have to speak on the experiences I have with the girls here! Jessica and Brittany have both waited on us several times and they always know how to make me feel special by remembering what I like. And that means so much to me and my husband that they go above and beyond. EVERYTIME. I have never had a bad experience here. Especially since Brittany went on maternity leave for a couple months she still come back on her game and works so hard, I just witnessed her single handedly waited the whole restaurant by herself with several tables and did a fantastic job. She even remembered me only waited on me twice before. Just wow. Lastly Brittany the manager wow, she is amazing and surely knows how to run this restaurant. The appreciation we get from her makes us want to come back everyday, she has thanked us for our support to the restaurant and that’s taking it above and beyond. We absolutely love it here and will continue to show our support to this small business. You can have all the great food in the world but with out amazing staff and great customer service the people will not come back. But this restaurant has it ALLL!

Phenomenal dinner. My husband and I were not sure what to expect, and when we pulled up to the restaurant, we thought it was closed. Turns out, they just have all the windows completely blacked out. We checked the door and realized that they were, in fact, open. (They probably lost a few customers due to this, unfortunately). Once we were inside, we were struck by the warmth and coziness the little restaurant atmosphere gave. The decor is perfect for an Italian restaurant and all the servers were engaging and kind. We got wine & the Caprese appetizer as well as the mozzarella appetizer. SOOOO good. Like so so so good. Highly recommend. For our entrees my husband ordered the Alfredo and I ended up just getting the Cesar Salad bc I was too full for a whole entree. Both were delightful. Our waiter Nick kept my drink full and we all together had such a lovely experience. I highly recommend to all.

The atmosphere is cozy, on the darker side, and nice and quiet. The food and drinks are great. The brown sugar and apricot old fashioned is my favorite here. The food is always very good and large portions. You definitely won't leave here hungry.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! Our entire visit was amazing. This place is small, quaint, and the atmosphere makes you think you really are in Italy. The service was impeccable. Our order was prepared in a reasonable amount of time. My wife had the duck and she could stop talking about how amazing her meal was. I had the chicken parmigiana and it was the best I have ever had. The piece of chicken was huge. We will definitely be back very soon.

If I could give this place 100 stars, I would!! Our entire visit was A!!! Pro tip: RESERVATION ONLY!!! We arrived a few minutes ahead of our reservation time, and our table was already prepared. We were immediately seated. This place is small, quaint, and the atmosphere makes you think you really are in Italy. The service was impeccable. Our order was prepared in a reasonable amount of time. My list of "must tries": Blue Crab Ravioli appetizer, Caprese salad, fried mozzarella, steak and risotto, and ANY dessert. Really anything you order here, you CANNOT go wrong. We were so pleased with our food, we were absolutely speechless. We will definitely be back to try more of what's on the menu.

Well, it's official..they did it again! This is actually the 2nd time I've eaten here, and let me tell you, I am just as satisfied now as I was before. Maybe even more . The 1st time here I was famished and that might have swayed my review. So in all fairness, we decided to hit them up again. Sooo glad we did This unassuming, hidden gem of a restaurant, sits tucked away on Ford Ave (Hwy 144) in Richmond Hill, GA. About a 20-25 min ride from Savannah, obviously depending on your location. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan dinner, and the wife ordered the Shrimp Alfredo with added chicken. Their prices were fairly reasonable. Our dinner of 2 entries and appetizers was less than 100, and this included tip. As far as portions go, I'll just say, come with a hefty appetite. Bella Mia also has a bar inside for those looking to combine a quiet"night out on the town" with fine Italian cuisine. I definitely can't forget about the service. Our server Jessica was simply wonderful. Unfortunately, I forgot the name of our server we had the last time, but we did remember the hospitality. Soo glad we decided to come back. Now it's your turn.

We found this little gem more or less by accident while on vacation, but I must say what a great surprise it was! The atmosphere is lovely for a date night dinner or for a fun night out with friends. Beautifully decorated, and appropriately low lighting instead of glaring bright lights like a lot of other places. The menu is small enough to be executed well, but large enough to give a nice variety to choose from. They have a very cute bar and very nice wine list as well. The food was outstanding. We had the Beet Burrata Insalata appetizer, and I have to say it is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Simple yet delicious. Pickled beets, cherry tomatoes, house made croutons and beautiful cheese with a lovely balsamic honey dressing. We almost licked the bowl. Lol. And our entree's were just as good. I chose the Filet w/risotto and my other half had the Sausage Arrabiata. They were both generous portions and beautiful dishes. My steak was cooked to the perfect med rare I asked for, and the risotto was excellent. My SO said the Arrabiata was fabulous, and had sausage in the dish as well as on top of it. And let's not forget the house made bread. Absolutely delicious. Soft and fresh and served with lovely whipped butter. The dessert menu was also very tempting, but with so much good food, neither of us had room for any, but the White Chocolate Creme Brule was oh so tempting. Our server, Brittany, was a lovely young lady who took great care of us and mad sure we had everything we needed all through our meal. We will definitely be back I'd the opportunity occurs. Go. Try this place. It's worth it. Side Note. It is not a kid friendly place, and it does specify that on the sign outside and on the website.
