Reviews Summary

Bella Cucina offers an authentic Italian experience with generous portions and a pleasant ambiance, often featuring live music. While many praise the Tiramisu and antipasti buffet, some reviews mention inconsistent flavor in certain dishes and occasional service delays. It's generally considered a good option for Italian comfort food, though some diners find the cuisine average.

"Seated us early, server was a delight.. the food was filling and perfectly delicious! Our table tried the antipasto, the asparagus risotto,pork and veggies, pizza, pasta arrabiata, as well as the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. The Panna cotta was meh, but the Tiramisu was a fave!"

Crystal M

"Tried Italian at the BELLA CUCINA restaurant for dinner. The interior design of the restaurant was okay with some good wall paintings.

We ordered Spaghetti Pesto, Allegro Pizza that had chicken in it & Veggie Pizza from the menu.
The Spaghetti Pesto was okay but without enough Italian seasoning. The Allegro Pizza & Veggie Pizza were fine too but the cheese tasted a bit different than elsewhere. We ordered another Allegro Pizza in the end and it was served cold.

There was a salad section as well towards the corner which did not have enough salad options. Just a few types of cheese that looked unfresh.

For desserts, we ordered Panna Cotta & Tiramisu. The Panna Cotta was hard and had very less sugar in it almost tasting like bland. The Tiramisu, on the other hand, was much better and nice.

Wasn’t a great experience overall at this Italian restaurant as the food was just average. The restaurant needs to work hard on their Italian cuisine."

Sid Kumar

"We thought this Italian was much better than the grazzie italian on the other side of the resort. The Antipasti buffet starter was a really good touch with plenty of choice such as a delicious vegetable soup, lots of salads meats cheese and breads. Portion sizes were very good and plenty to choose from of the menu. Service was excellent and loved the live music at the bar which you can enjoy from the outside dining area"
