Reviews for Bella Napoli in Kansas City, MO
The food here is impressive. Bella is a perfect find here in KC. It’s simple, authentic Italian food without pretense. The... staff here is excellent. Makaila is fast, responsive, attentive, and a perfect server. Suppose it’s the sandwiches (Il Saro)for lunch or the dinner pasta (Ragu di Manzo), or even dessert (Tiramisu). There is something here for everyone to enjoy. It wasa warm vibe with a great date night atmosphere. Read more
The fresh and authentic Italian sandwiches are underappreciated and very affordable, whether you do counter service to go or get... a table. It reminded me of homemade lunches with our Italian host family. Fresh vegetables. Delicious meats (optional) andcheeses. So many other wonderful menu options for a proper meal of course, but I will keep this at the top of my list for afast lunch option too, especially on a nice day to enjoy the patio. ???? Read more
If it was based on food I would give this place a 3. The pizza tasted like it was cooked on low heat for too long. The cacio e... pepe barely had black pepper where the pecorino romano was the predominant taste. The carbonara was pretty good and the tiramusuamazing. However, the wait staff was extremely kind.

Was quoted 1.5 hours wait time for Saturday dinner, but we were seated in 50 mins. Great service, because once I complained... about the ragu not being al dente they re-made it for me (however the portion significantly shrunk…) Highly recommend thepistachio cheesecake and house-made tiramisu. The cannoli shell is too hard and the filling too lumpy for my taste. Read more
Luca and I stopped by bella napoli Italian Restaurant in Brookside Kansas City Missouri today. I have heard a lot of good things... about this resturant so I thought we would give it a try. I was raised in a Sicilian family and I am pretty particular aboutItalian food. Napoli is in Naples Italy. If you look at a map of Italy it looks like a boot. Naples is the ankle. Each region ofItaly has different flavors. The resturant has a deli, they sell Italian food products etc. When you walk in there are threerooms with tables. To the right is a dining area with regular wood small four tops. To the left there is a dining room withwhite table cloths and in the middle where we were seated a few tables in the middle of food racks. A young man by the name ofMike Carullo was our waiter. Mike is the nephew of the owner of Carullos at The City Market Kansas City Missouri. Mike wasfantastic. I had an espresso and we had Bruschetta. The Bruschetta was really hard. Like had to cut with a steak knifestruggling hard. The topping was great just a little to long in the toaster for the bread. I ordered lasagna with red sauce,"Sugo", a side of meatballs in sauce and a link of Italian sausage. Luca had a pasta dish and we ordered two margarita personalpizzas to go. One coke, one coffee. The reason I mentioned the different regions of Italy earlier is each region has its ownflavor. Sicily has more of a sweet Sugo which I prefer. The sauce on the lasagna was ok. The spices in the sauce not soprofound. It wasn't bland but felt like it was lacking something. But thats my taste. Overall it wasn't bad. Luca was happywith his pasta. My meatballs ok, not great, not bad. The italian sausage was burnt and then covered in sauce. The pizza crustwas hard. I talked with the manager and asked if I could take pictures inside the restaurant. She agreed. Our bill $81.00. Ileft the waiter a $19.00 tip. Mike our waiter was worth it. They had an ample amount of wait staff on hand. The restau Read more
Service was good, and the atmosphere is nice. It's small so a reservation may be best. I ate the hamburger pizza and had a Old... Fashioned. Both were good. I'd recommend it and will be back. Read more
Drove 30 minutes with my wife and 3 little kids just to give a try to Bella Napoli. I am 100% Italian and for long time I tried... to find a good and authentic Italian Restaurant and I always had no luck; but I am very happy to say that I found my favoriteItalian Restaurant in Kansas and Missouri!!! This place is my home far from home: nice location, easy way to find parking,friendly staff and beautiful environment. Food tastes just like home: good choice on the menu for food and drinks!! And there isalso a nice area to buy grocery with authentic Italian products. Had the pleasure to meet and talk with Jake, and speaking inItalian even if it was the first time meeting it looked like talking to a good and old friend!! I highly recommend thisrestaurant if you want to try the Italian tradition. 5 stars review is not enough for this restaurant, go and give it a try!! Read more
GREAT place for lunch. Incredible sandwiches. Dinner is pretty good. Cannot beat the atmosphere, but they’re reaching a bit... with the food. Better than your run-of-the-mill local Italian restaurant, but lacking a few things. For example they give youbread with no butter or oil & vinegar. Just raw dog a bunch of bread. The menu is a bit limited - it’s a small kitchen, butstill the dishes and portions are a bit outdated. Still recommend, but it’s not top-tier. (Carmen’s down the street isprobably a step higher for dinner.) Read more
