It's pretty obvious that when you go to a restaurant for Italian food and it's owned by people who live in the Mediterranean region, the food is going to be spectacular. It never fails. Montenegrans, Albanians, Italians, Greeks...what cooks! They really know how to run restaurants as well. This place is no exception and is among the best. The food was amazing. Nothing more needs to be said. Great service, and they even have happy hour! The owner and staff are all extremely friendly. Very nice interior and great ambiance as well, with a wonderful water feature on one of the walls and a nice fireplace in Modelo (which is the bar portion of the restaurant). It's one of our favorite go-to spots now for all types of italian food. Unbelievable pizza also. You have to give this place a try!

Bella Fiore is such a hidden gem! I’m 110% keeping this restaurant in mind when I’m in the area and especially before or after a trip to Mohegan! Every dish we had was fantastic, and the desserts were great too. I literally felt like I was dining in Vegas with the artwork and waterfall in the dining room, and I loved the sweetheart style seating. Our waitress was very attentive too. I think it’s great that they have the Modelo side of the restaurant too for when you’re ready to party!

Edit 4/3/21 I went back here on a double date, to my surprise the owners son remembered me (he has the memory of a computer) and brought lemons for our water without us even asking. Him and his staff checked up on our needs frequently. He recommended some dishes I tried such as the mussels and an amazing chicken special they were serving (I forgot the name). The mussels were fresh, cooked perfectly and in a delicious white garlic sauce. Sauce was so good I dipped my bread in. Presentation was beautiful! On to the entree, a chicken special. Unbelievably delicious. I ate it so fast I was the first one done out of the other 3. It was so good I will get it again next time I go. I will post pictures of the dish so you can ask for it. Amazing. The service and food was top notch. So happy I came back. They care about their customers and genuinely good people. This experience leaves me no choice but to leave 5 stars. The inside of this establishment is very nice. Beautiful wall painting and nice seating on the dining side with an elegant waterfall and on the bar side is a cool led lit up area. Very pleasant staff, they seemed to be short handed and service could have been a little bit better but understandable as there was only 3 wait staff. I had to ask a couple times for drinks and lemon for the water. I eventually went to the bar to get it myself. The appetizers weren't great, the calamari was all rings and no tentacles. Seemed to be breaded a little carelessly as some spots weren't breaded. I don't think they were strained properly because of lots of oil and not a very good crisp crust either. The mozzarella sticks tasted like they came from the frozen section of a grocery store. Their marinara sauce was actually pleasant. I am Italian and its very hard to come by a marinara sauce that's edible let alone good. As far as the entrees and dessert go, absolutely delicious. They cook their steak perfectly. Garnished for presentation and tasted great. I would like to rate 3.

Thank you and your family so much for our party last night. My husband had a great 75th birthday celebration. The food, the set-up, the service were all exceptional! You went above and beyond to serve us well. You set the bar high with excellent food and everyone was complimenting the food all night. We all had the best time ever at Bella’s and look forward to returning soon!

This establishment truly went above and beyond to accommodate our party of 20. We were provided with a private room, received prompt and attentive service, and never once had to request a refill. Our plates were cleared immediately after we finished eating, allowing the evening to flow seamlessly. The food was outstanding, and the overall experience made for a remarkable night. A solid 10 out of 10—we will absolutely be returning.

Bella Fiore is such a great spot if you’re in the area, especially if you’re near the casinos. The atmosphere alone makes it worth the visit — the murals inside are beautiful and give the space so much character, and the indoor waterfall is such a cool, unexpected touch. The espresso martinis were lovely and perfectly balanced — smooth, not overly sweet, and honestly one of the better ones I’ve had recently. For food, everything we tried was impressive. The zuppa di pesce was delicious and full of flavor, and the pasta dishes were wow — you can really tell the care that goes into them. Between the ambiance, drinks, and food, Bella Fiore is a solid choice for a nice dinner out or a stop before or after the casinos. I’d definitely go back.
