JoeBella's Italian Kitchen

What a wonderful experience we had.
We have been wanting to try Joe Bella's since we moved to the area 3 years ago. Well, last night we finally did and well I am mad at myself for taking so long to try it. From the moment we walked in the staff was super friendly. Our server was extremely nice and helpful and made us feel welcome. The food was FANTASTIC, the drinks were delicious and the overall experience was amazing. We will definitely be back!!

I wanted to love this place after seeing reels about it! We went for the pasta flight and were pleasantly surprised it was happy hour and they had some GREAT deals. Bartender was sooo nice, delivered the drinks efficiently, definitely busy. We both got a pasta flight and shared the happy hour meatballs. Food didn’t really come out hot and I thought the flavor and options on the pasta flight were very underwhelming. Presentation was great, though! Just wish the flavor, taste, and temperature of the food matched. $25 for the flight was a bit steep for how underwhelming it was. The pasta could have used way more sauce, too. Overall, not impressed.

Stylish, Energetic, and Delicious

This Italian restaurant effortlessly blends modern style with classic flavors. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a vibrant, energetic atmosphere—think moody lighting, curated playlists, and a chic crowd that somehow still feels laid-back.

The food? Just as impressive. Each dish is beautifully presented, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors that show off the kitchen’s confidence. Whether it’s a handmade pasta, or inventive small plates, everything I’ve tried has been consistently good.

It’s the kind of place where you could go for a casual dinner with friends or a date night and feel totally at ease. The service is on-point too—friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to recommend a pairing.

Trendy without being pretentious, this spot strikes the perfect balance of cool and cozy. Definitely one of my favorites in the city.

Celebrated Moms Birthday and our waitress Amanda was the best. The food was good and filling. The desserts were tasty. We enjoyed it, and it's reasonably priced. The Meatballs with cheese and Thick slice bacon were delicious appetizers. Slightly burnt is better with the bacon. The sauce on the Brussels sprouts was also delicious. You will not leave hungry.

Walking into JoeBella’s feels like stepping into an Italian dreamscape — warm, glowing lights, rustic wood, and a vibe that says, “Yeah, go ahead, order another glass of wine.” It’s the kind of spot where you instinctively loosen your shoulders and start eyeing the specials board before you even sit down. Whether you're tucked into a booth or catching the action from the open kitchen view, the whole place hums with that perfect mix of cozy and classy.

But let’s not dance around it — the meatballs are the real main character. These aren’t just good; they taste like Sunday dinners from an old-school Nonna who doesn’t measure a thing and somehow nails it every time. Rich, tender, and swimming in a marinara that clings like a hug, they come with a scoop of dreamy ricotta that melts right into every bite. It’s comfort food with heritage, the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-chew just to nod at whoever’s lucky enough to be sitting across from you.

The homemade pasta deserves its own spotlight too — delicate, fresh, and clearly crafted with intention. Paired with sauces that actually taste like someone’s been stirring them all afternoon, there’s nothing rushed or overdone here. The flavors feel honest, balanced, and rooted in tradition. You can taste the difference in every forkful — like the recipe came from an Italian family kitchen.

We had the honor of being served my the manager Lee Ann. She was funny and delightful and made the experience that more special. She even laughed at my silly "rotating wine joke."

Not everything was perfect — the Caesar salad could’ve used a little more love (and more dressing). But honestly, once those meatballs and pasta made their entrance, the table went quiet in the best possible way. JoeBella’s knows what it’s doing, and it does it with Italian heart.

Buonissimo!
