Bella Cucina

We have ordered delivery a couple of times and we are happy! Husband said his soul was the best he ever had (pasta fagouli). Will continue to order from here for a long time. Looking forward to going in person!

Check out this restaurant I am new to area the food was awful and prices average but not for the amount they give you. Waitress was very nice

Don’t go here at lunch. They are heavily understaffed. Do carry out if you must eat here. Party of 5, one of which is my 9 month pregnant friend. They brought out 4 plates, but not hers. After we approached them in the drink bay they were surprised her food had not come out. Once they checked with the kitchen, they realized they were out of chicken salad and could not provide her meal. To add insult to injury, they had to make a special trip to remove this unserved food from the check. Beware of eating here at lunch.

This is the best pizza place in the DeLand. A little pricey but their food is really good. The portions are huge.
We come here once or twice a week for lunch.

The waitress (Summer) gave amazing service! She’s the only one working and has managed to take care of every table and keep calm and give great service! The restaurant has a nice homey feel and quick food prep !!! The tomato sauce is amazing and I loved the eggplant parm! The lunch specials are prefect and great price for a prefect amount of food!
I will defiantly come back to this restaurant ! They have a «live» desert menu! Super good idea for small restaurants!

We ordered the Greek salad, fried calamari, soup fagoli, everything was as it should!

the calzone was inedible and when the server was told she went to the cook and then came back and asked if we wanted a box for the inedible calzone? when the bill came she told the rather rude manager that we had eaten half the calzone (an outright lie) and after refusing to pay and a hassle with the rude manager it was eventually taken off the bill. we have been to this restaurant before and didn’t have any problems. we won’t be back.

Why do we continue to give this establishment business?
The only thing I would recommend is the pizza… take out only! It’s a little overpriced for DeLand, though. And don’t expect a «thankyou» or even a smile from the staff for your patronage.
EVERYTIME we try to eat in, we are met with grumpy, slow service. The other food is okay, but not anything to brag about. Especially because it usually comes out lukewarm.
On another note, it irritates me to see all of the signs yelling at potential customers that bathrooms are for customers only. Yikes! Is it really that big of a problem to let someone use your bathroom? I understand when there are big events at Victoria Park, but on a daily basis? Lighten up!
My wish is that a customer-​centric restaurant would open up in Victoria Park to help these «real» New Yorkers see how to successfully run a business. This place is usually empty.
As a Jersey transplant, I bet NY’ers would be pissed to see the only thing NY about this place is the attitude. And that’s probably from a suburb of the City anyway!

Best Stromboli around! Do yourself a favor and try it. Also the pizza is better then most in the area and always fresh. Prices are fair and service could use a little work.

Just ok

We really enjoyed dining here.
The fact that they have outdoor seating made it very attractive to my friends and I.
Their portions are very generous, and the food is consistently good.
The large calzone which was around $ 10 was well over a foot long!
The Greek Salad is a must! It had just the right amount of feta, so yummy.
I had the Veggie Stromboli, it was absolutely delicious.
7 of us dined for around $ 80 including beverages!
Incredible

We’ve had a couple of experiences with Bella Cucina. I don’t recommend dining in. Service was lackluster, it took forever to get our food when there was only one other group in house, and the food is pricey. The set-​up inside makes getting around tight and the décor and the quality of the furniture seem cheap. Garlic knots and pizza are consistently good. My husband enjoys the chicken parm sandwiches and he is pretty picky.
We’ve tried takeout a few times with mixed results. Our chicken parm meals to-​go have either had watery sauce or it tasted like someone dumped a bottle of red wine in by accident. My plain steak sandwich came loaded with peppers and mushrooms and soggy bread. After picking out the extras, I was left with ¹⁄₃ of a sandwich with very little flavor. Very disappointing.

Close to my house so I order here all the time. The wife likes the Zitti with meat sauce, I prefer the Pizza. It is pricy, so order on Monday and Tuesday when they have their pizza deals.

I’ve given this place several tries, but the food is just okay and the service is TERRIBLE. The management is down right rude, and they do not appreciate their customers. Don’t waste your time. There’s MUCH better food right down the road at Angelina’s Pizzeria or Papa’s Pizza.

We walked in and were the only customers there besides a table of women drinking pitchers of beer. We each got a special. We heard the kitchen say order up. Fifteen minutes later the waitress brought our food out. I immediately stuck my finger on the sauce and it was stone cold. Neither of us was impressed with our dishes. The food was tasteless and disgusting. The prices were astronomical. We left our barely eaten plates and went to grab a burger. The burger was much cheaper and tasted better for a third of the cost.

We have eaten at Bella Cucina numerous times and just love it. It has a nice atmosphere for couples or families. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They have a wide selection of Italian food that is always fresh tasting. Good pizza is hard to find in Florida, but Bella Cucina’s is excellent. Our favorite is their Margarita Pizza. The restaurant also has a nice selection of wines.
