Bella Frutteto

This place is worth the wait. I take clients there for lunch and the service and food are quick and on spot.
My wife and I will take our young son here for din and have a nicer meal and they are always willing to accommodate us.

Terrible service! Food is OK but overpriced. Waitress was slow and forgetful. Since they are charging fine dining prices I would expect the service to match. Server placed other tables empty plates on our table several times while filling glasses, etc. I was also asked by server if I could hand her an empty plate sitting near me while I was still eating, very unprofessional. Rarely came to check on us, I waited approx. 10 min to ask for extra sauce then waited another 8 minutes to receive it. Also at 18+ for a bowl of pasta I would expect soup or salad to be included. If you want to pay downtown pricing, go downtown it will be a better experience.

Went here a couple a days ago.
I got the pick a pasta with the cheese ravioli, tomato cream sauce, and chicken.
This was probably the best meal I have ever had here.
I do wish that they did not get rid of their fried mac n cheese.
They have really good bread too!

I’ve been here 3 times and each and every time the food was excellent, although a bit pricey otherwise, I’d give 5 stars. I guess you do get what you pay for though.

I really wish I could give half stars because Bella is a solid 4.5. We went to dinner with our friends. We were greeted promptly and even though the parking lot was scary full, we were seated immediately. This place looks really small but there is a bigger back room and bar area. The dining areas are warm and cozy, inviting. We were waited on quickly by our waiter who was attentive all evening but not in an in-​your-​face kind of way. We were given a wonderful basket of warm bread. The bread here is awesome by the way. So fresh and so good. We all got either salads or soups to start. My friend did note that the croutons were not great, tasting more like oil than crunchy bread. Other than that everything was yummy! I got my usual and although a bit overdone, the actual tuna steak was sublime-​so fresh! The hubby got the veal parm and it was tender and tasty. The other two in our party had pasta dishes, a gnocchi in a roasted red pepper sauce noting it was good. My friend is a vegetarian and they were accommodating when it came to leaving out the chicken and noting there were not any other meat byproducts in the dish. All in all it was a great evening spent celebrating my bday and my friend’s bday (which is next weekend).

I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who is in the mood for quality Italian food. The lasagna is very tasty and the portion is large. I also enjoyed the lobster bisque. The bread and dipping sauce was exceptional. Don’t be fooled by the nondescript appearance from the outside, it is quality once you get in the door. Very reasonable prices. The owner was working as hostess on a Saturday night and was very pleasant.

I have eaten here many times, but yesterday was the first time in about year. What a bad experience. Our server, however, was great. The food was not. We had soup, wedding and chili, both were good, not anything special, but good. Our main courses were AWFUL! My fish (mahi) was so bad, I didn’t even eat it. At first bite, it smelled and tasted strange. I sent it back. My daughter had chicken parm, also awful. No taste, chicken over cooked, over fried. I am so disappointed! Won’t go back. Never even got the famous bread and oil!

Service Great, Food Great (wedding soup really good). Nice Atmosphere and locally owned.
Would greatly recommend!

I come here a couple times a year for some solid Italian food. It sits up in a little plaza overlooking the Sorgel’s farm. It can sometimes be hard to get in and out of depending on traffic in the area. If you get a nice day request to eat outside on the patio.
I love the bread and oil that is brought out before the meal. The bread is fresh and warm, easy to tear off to dip into the oil. The oil has some spices and my favorite touch some Parmesan cheese. Last time I came here with my girlfriend and we tried the fall special menu. I had some pumpkin ravioli flavored with butternut squash and she had the apple harvest ravioli. I appreciate when restaurants do specials playing up to the wonderful flavors of the season. The ravioli was just the right proportion and both really played up to the fall season.
I’ve never had any complaints about the food here. This place is a step above the chain Italian restaurants and I will definitely be making my way back here at some point. Good Italian food in the Wexford area!

OK. They have seem to attempt to provide you with a nice atmosphere but everything they do from the candles to the shaker of cheese is just somewhat tacky. I felt as if I was back on campus at a college restaurant but paying double the price for it. The flavors were good — I’ll give them that, but the atmosphere was not great. Even our server seemed slightly off. Would have been an excellent experience at half the cost, but at ~20 per dish there’s many better places with more interesting cuisine.

Went there last week on a Groupon.
I’ll keep it simple.
Go there.
Eat.
Enjoy.
Since Unilocal is telling me that my review is on the short side, l will bore you all with some useless details:
–I had the crab cakes. While not as good as Andora’s, they’re still pretty good.
–my wife had the lasagna. She said it was excellent.
–my compliments to the server, too.
Go there.
Eat.
Enjoy.

Great service, great food! I ordered the lobster ravioli and white peach sangria and both were amazing. Also, their bread and oil combo is delicious! I’ll definitely come back to this place again!

The waitress and staff checked on us so many times which was very helpful. The bread and olive oil dip was very flavorful. I shouldn’t have filled up, because my mahi mahi was delicious. My daughter had the lobster ravioli and enjoyed it. I don’t like lobster, but the vodka sauce that was on this was amazing…

I really wanted to give 5 stars but I just couldn’t. Stuffed peppers were great, but Luke warm. I got the stuffed chicken over linguine. Tasty but just warm, not piping hot the way I think it should have been. Chicken was borderline dry. Hubby got steak Gorgonzola. Same thing, tasty but not hot. I’m not sure if you are supposed to get bread and oil with the meal, we didn’t get any.
I will go back. I want to give it another try.

I went here with my niece and parents… It was ok, but nothing special. No one really loved their food, but no one hated it either.

After going to Bella a few times there, I’ve learned the things I love and the things I could go without. Things I love… their beet salad. Beets, with mixed greens, candied walnuts, goat cheese and a light vinaigrette dressing. It is mighty tasty, and a decent size. I wish they did put a little more beets in it, but hey, it’s still worth ordering. Also love their lobster ravioli. Homemade ravioli with small chunks of lobster in the filling served in a pink cream sauce with goat cheese on top. Can you tell I love goat cheese?! The ravioli are done fabulously with a perfect amount of lobster present. I almost forgot about their bread dipping oil! Olive oil mixed with parmesan cheese and cracked black pepper is a perfect complement to the bread. Bread is always served warm and while it’s not my favorite bread locally (Mancini’s always has my heart) it’s not as bad as a loaf of Schwebels.
Things that I don’t like… Inconsistent food. I pretty much always get the same 3 – 4 items because every time I try something new, it’s not good. Chipotle sauce on a steak? Bad. Apple ravioli? Not a fan. Beans and greens? Eh. But other items knock it out of the ballpark. The pricing is a little extravagant for a restaurant located in a strip mall. Chicken parm for 17 bucks? It’s a bit much in my opinion.
Overall, I will definitely keep going back, ordering a beet salad and lobster ravioli and I will be a happy camper.

The service is really good, the bread with oil and parmesan cheese is outstanding. The food is tasty with good portions and reasonable but fairly high prices.
I’ll subtract a star because the restaurant is solid, but not amazing. The prices are a tad high for standard/​solid/​pretty good. I always enjoy myself when I go but I feel that there may be other restaurants I’m not aware of that are exceptional or excquisite for the same price.

When we arived we were greeted right away by a friendly hostess who promptly showed us to a table. She even asked if the table was ok or if we would like another. This is something not many places do and I like it. We were fine with the table so we sat and looked over the menu. The thing that jumped out at me first were the prices. It is on the higher side. I think the cheapest pasta dish was like $ 14. Anyways our waiter came up and took our drink orders. I of course just ordered water Bry had a beer and my little man asked for a red lemonade. I told him they don’t have red lemonade and the waiter offered to put a splash of grenadine in. I thought it was genius. My son was very happy.
The bread here is quite good. It was warm and crunchy and the oil served with it was pretty good. I chose the shredded beef ravioli. It’s a seasonal dish and quite good. It was just a bit on the salty side but not by much. Bry had a steak and shrimp dish that he liked but the steak cut was uneven so part or it was medium which is how he ordered it and the other part looked very rare. Almost raw. He did have it refired but he said it wasn’t as good after. The manager did buy him a drink so they did make an effort to rectify the issue. Vin had chicken parm. It was 3 pieces of chicken strips with red sauce and cheese on top and a side of pasta. My boy loved it. He ate all the chicken and we took home the pasta for his lunch today. Also our waiter gave him a fresh loaf of bread since he asked for bread.
Also Vin got the cutest little thing of ice cream with sprinkles. He was so happy. Bry and I went with red wine for our dessert. I don’t remember what they were called but they were featured wines. One was the one from the top of the list and the other was from the bottom. I really enjoyed the one from the top of the list. The other was more earthy then I like.
I have to say our waiter was really good. I appreciate when my son all though just 4 is treated with patience and caring. Our waiter was so good with him and even gave him options and waited while he made up his mind. I like the place and our server was great but not somewhere I feel I will have cravings for.

I wanted to like Bella Frutetto, I really did. I guess from the raves I’ve seen on Unilocal,I expected a lot more. Not so much. From the inattentive, nonchalant hostess who was too distracted to greet us — let alone seat us to the tired décor, we certainly expected more.
The bright spot of lunch was Patty, our server. Loved her little bit of sass, little bit off snark. She made us smile when after waiting quite a long time for the hostess to return with a gluten-​free menu, she strode off to track one down saying, «What’s she doing, printing one?»
The food. I had a simple penne with tomato basil cream sauce and sausage. The pasta was waaaay over-sauced…more like soup than pasta. Still, it was tasty. Adequate. My daughter had a trail mix salad. She enjoyed it, but it wasn’t anything you couldn’t get anywhere. Adequate.
The cost of lunch for a bowl of pasta, a salad and one iced tea? At lunch, not dinner? $ 30. Eat n Park at the end of the strip mall would have been better and half the price.
One more thing. Rarely do I talk about plating, but the presentation of the orange-​ish pasta in an orange-​ish dish was not thought out well. For the money, more thought should be put into every aspect… from the substandard hostess, to the surroundings, to the attention to detail in the preparation of the food, to the plating. It could have, it SHOULD have, been so much better. Adequate.

Astounding! I had been here once before for a work event when I still worked in Wexford. At the time I had enjoyed some free and shall we say interesting samples — I had no idea this place makes a mean spicy marinara sauce. Still, while not a fan of hot items I liked what I tasted well enough to come back.
Actually dining here was heavenly. They very kindly held our reservation even though we ran forty minutes late in traffic. The wine selection is massive, always a plus! And the menu has a nice diverse selection of entrees, pasta, and really good salads. Seriously, the chicken harvest salad was to die for. Everything tasted so fresh! Finally, during the main course my mother declared that the crab cakes here were divine, second only to fresh crab cakes from sea line restaurants.
In case you couldn’t guess, I will absolutely be back. Thank you for a perfect meal, Bella!
