Reviews of Bella Napoli Pizzeria (Restaurant)

Ethan Sanders

A local favorite! The pizza here is amazing! My wife and I like to come here for special occasions, although we shouldn't, we should come more often! We've tried probably half of the pizza's on the menu and have loved each one. The wine and beer lists aren't the most extensive, but what they do have is at least good. The deserts are great as well!

Suci Brooks

They have one of the best pizza in Nashville. We are from North AL, we would drive to Nashville just for pizza from this place. My husband loves it. But the cannoli was mediocre.

John Peden

Great food, friendly service and tasty libations. What more could one ask for? This is definitely a “go back again” kind of place!

Walt Gehrlein

The pizza's we got tonight was so bad it had almost no toppings. I will not go back, it was a waste of time and money. 7/29/2018

Mike Schwaller

Loved it! Great service, had a group of 12 and everyone enjoyed their food. Worth a stop!

Erin Cusenbary

A little on the pricy side, but the food was still very good. Pasta cooked perfectly, delicious sauces, and a classic small Italian restaurant vibe. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze since the restaurant is a small space. Still, they were able to accommodate our group of 7 (with a reservation) easily!

Josh Smith

First off... it says delivery they do not... second we ordered 2 large pizzas for 35 dollars which anywhere else in the world would constitute an extra small... as pie is no bigger then 10 inches. We had to order a "margarita pizza" because that is all they could make.... the margarita pizza was a plain pizza... with a few basil leafs directly in the center. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy and I hate that guy.

Chris Murdock

The pizza was fantastic. Authentic tastes of Italy! All to sit in Dan's section.

kyle sherman

Pretty good pizza. The center of the pie was a bit soggy. 2 glasses of wine, 2 pizzas, appetizer and 1 dessert was $100. Scenery was outstanding with beautiful women. Lol

Joe Lehman

Love this place!!! The pizza is fantastic!! They have done a very good job making pizza like I had in Naples.

G. Rodriguez

The only ACTUAL Italian restaurant in Nashville. Everywhere else is simply American pizza.

Wendy Miller

Great food. Wonderful atmosphere. The place was packed on a Saturday but we were able to sit at the bar and get served immediately.

John Nelson

Fantastic pizza. The closest place to being in Italy.

Christine Rountree

Fun atmosphere. The food was pretty good. I will go back.

Hannah Glover

Incredible pizza. Incredible staff. This is actually a restaurant in Nashville where you can have truly wonderful food and beverage and not break the bank. Bravo!

Dom Alleva

Veggie pizza, salad, two glasses of wine. Very good food, a little expensive. Probably won't eat outside again. Problems with flies.

Ben Boyd

The food is consistently good. Pizzas are delightful, some of the best dough in town. There isn't anything flashy about the interior or the food, but then again it didn't need to be.

Archie Arroyo

Great pizza and top notch service!

Cassandra L Anello

Weak pizza - limp, bland and just not good - quite disappointing a restaurant with "pizza" in their name has terrible.... pizza. I won't be returning.

Lucinda Thomas

The atmosphere was nice for families, yet quaint and even a bit romantic for couples. The menu featured more authentic Italian recipes which was different for us. We were very pleased with the tastes and ambiance of this restaurant.

Dannielle Taylor

Best pizza in nashville. If you are looking for authentic Italian wood fired pizza, this is your place.and the calamari is to die for!!!

Alex Linstrom

Adequate food that was overpriced and messy. Order got mixed up between the two.

Mousetrap

Authentic Italian.

Jamie Juenemann

Food was really good. atmosphere was great. Our server (becca) was fantastic. She was really quick with recommendations and super friendly and fast. This place is definitely worth a visit.

Debbie Michaelson

Just finished my first dinner at Bella Napoli. My Sorrentino pizza with added garlic was wonderful! My husband had pomodoro spaghetti and sauce was delicious. We shared a house salad which they graciously divided for us. Too much fabulous food to have dessert, will be back!

William Robinson

The pizza is alright but the sizes are all wrong. A 14" should be 14" not 12".

On_y_va Toujours

Very attentive service! I have tried many pizzas and I can confidently say that it’s the best wood fired pizza in North America. Crust has the perfect blend of crunch and moistness. Menu may seem limited if you are looking for a wide range of options.

Kathy Lattanzi

Best Italian place! Owners are from Italy and their cooking proves it. Out of the way, cozy and the ambience makes you feel you are in Napoli enjoying a nice dish. Go!! Mangia!!

Nash Carr

Awesome food and awesome service. Glad I came here with my wife. Best place to eat in Nashville.

Josh Carpenter

Amazing food, atmosphere, and the server Rachel was a sweetheart. Will definitely be back.

inkyvid

Great pizza!

Ammi Embry

One of our favorite romantic dinners. Bella Napoli is amazing and is soy free.

Brogen Davis

One of my favorite places that I take people who are not familiar with Nashville.. the food is spectacular.

Marc M.

Good food. Been there twice now.

Erica Zippert

Love this spot for lunch! Never crowded and always good service. I have been on an eggplant parm panini kick there recently because I love my double carbs. The panini bread is so amazing and I like their sauce too. Prices are reasonable and it's good for medium size parties. Definitely recommend!

Fortunato Mugnano

Excellent food and very nice atmosphere for an authentic Italian experience in the middle of Nashville. Food comes out fast and the service is impeccable, the outside patio is very unique, the best Italian restaurant in Nashville , said by an Italian

Siavash Nakhaee

Best place you could find to have Italian food as similar as posible to actual Itallian food from Italy. Good food, freindly staff, fair price and good location.

Nick McCollum

Really good wood-fired pizza!

Josh Murphy

Best pizza in Tennessee by far!

Melissa Veitengruber

Their wood-fired pizza is amazing! I have been here twice now and I've had nothing but good experiences. The waiter was great and the bartender made delicious drinks. Our food came out in a timely manner and it was warm and delicious. I just moved to Nashville about 3 weeks ago and have already been twice. This will definitely be a regular dinner spot for me. I definitely recommend it!

Lia Brooks

The place is far back through a short alley walk. It is definitely a hole in the wall. The place was small. The kitchen had a brick oven in it that looked nice. The bathroom was clean. They seated me quickly as I had a reservation. I really enjoyed the bruschetta, it didn’t look like much but it was super flavorful and delicious. The spaghetti was like any other spaghetti I’d tasted. I liked that the noodles were a tad bit firm and not super soft or mushy. My sweet tea was okay. I enjoyed the flat bread, it was the perfect texture and was very nice. The waiter that served us did his job but wasn’t really nice or extra friendly. Overall, a pretty good place to get Italian but not the best place.

Vanessa Lowe

All I can say is WOW! We stumbled in late Sunday afternoon around 3pm and it was not busy. We ordered 3 pizzas and spaghetti for the kids. The pizzas are a "personal" size, but huge in my opinion. The crust is light airy and just perfection. Family owned and operated made with love and a passion for amazing food.

Adnan Chamdin

You can never go wrong with this place, hands down one of my favorite spots !

Ryan Beagan

Ordered food here at 915, they close at 10pm. They decided to cancel my order at 1005. Great services folks!

Tony Botros

Pizza is outstanding and service is reasonable. The cheese pizza was as simple and pure with incredibly high quality cheeses. A bit pricey, but this is a high quality pizza.

Joey Dickinson

Awesome place to eat, I come by here often as a Postmates courier and they are full of friendly employees and always smile & willing to communicate with me by phone notes or paper & pen but not necessarily at all of time and because of my good experience at this spot... I definitely WILL recommend this place and bring my family (yeah all are deaf especially my sister) to there and eat there!!! This place awesome to Moon and back! Their food smell insanely good!!

David Brooks

Amazing. Best neapolitan style pizza I've had in years... possibly ever. Perfect char, perfect balance, everything as it should be. Will becoming back for sure.

Colin Frisbie

The food was very good, staff was great!

Ally Edwards

Amazing pizza! Delicious! Bustling little neighbourhood gem.

Scot Cianci

Wow what a calzone! Meatballs and pomodoro spaghetti were a treat for my little one! Recommended! Fire cooked pizza for a perfect crust!

Kimberley O'Quinn

Crisp crust with a soft chewy center and baked in a wood fire oven - this pizza dough was just about perfect! We had several pizza variations along with the spaghetti al pomodoro, which was delicious. Tomato, garlic, and homemade pasta - simple and pure. Truthfully I could have made a meal out of the tomato sauce and pizza crusts. Sometimes the most simple of meals are the best. Plus the location is tucked away in a old brick building, making it a bit of an adventure finding it. Would definitely go back again.

Ryan Gregory

The restaurant is quiet , the staff are attentive and the pizza is excellent. Definitely recommend.

Patricia Ameling

Excellent menu choices! Pizza crust is thin, light and airy just like the server described it. The caprese salad was very good and the presentation was beautiful. Prices are moderate for a place that adds little extras in the quality of the food, the ambiance of the dining room and the presentation on the plate. I would definitely eat here again. The service was great and we almost closed the dining room down with only 3 minutes to spare. The staff was courteous and friendly.

Chris Conn

Always a pleasure to get done authentic Italian food and great service here!

David Rinker

Pizzas are really good. Other items are less reliable. Prices are a little high.

Les Auerbach

A hidden gem. Good food, quiet atmosphere, reasonably priced.

Bob Pader

Great food freon Napoli. Great times with our Italian and German friends. This is authentic Italian pizza enjoy

Erin K

Best pizza in Nashville. We always get whatever the pizza special is that night. Salads, desserts, wine and coffee are nice as well. Haven’t tried the pasta yet but I hear only great things about it :)

Chris Clarke

We visited Bella Napoli for the second time this past weekend. I really like this place. The location is charming - set back in a little cobblestone alleyway. We have never eaten outside, but the outdoor dining looks really cute. The inside is broken up into two rooms, and it reminds me of something you'd find in Europe. We had excellent meals - everyone enjoyed their selections - we had a variety of pizzas, pastas and meal dishes among the 5 of us. Our waiter, Spencer, was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the menu - especially given that he had only worked there for a short time. He also was nice enough to run out after us when my son left his hat in the restaurant. We definitely will visit again!

Sue Alderman

Nashville. Pay parking across the street easy to access. This Italian restaurant is great. Hand tossed pizza, pasta dishes, good wines and adult beverages. Outside seating available. Pretend you're in Rome

M Mason

Awesome Food!

Debbie Smotherman

Best margarita pizza EVER!!

Jasmine Coleman

I have been dreaming of the spaghetti al pomodoro since I left! So good!

Lisa Ramsey

Our first visit and it was wonderful! So awesome that Chef Massimo is there - he rocks! Ate pizzas and finished with Nutella

Lori Fick

We were searching for a new pizza place and stumbled upon this on a Google search. We were so glad that we did because the entire experience was perfect. The vibe is amazing and the food was super delicious too! Wait staff were very friendly and accomadating to us and our two young children. All in all a great experience that we plan on doing again.

jtaylor4

I'd say it was probably some of the better pizza in the city, but the price was a little high imo. Comparable to desanos. Nice tang, high quality cheese, the dough was properly aged.

Jessica Solis

Was not impressed. The food was ok but definitely overpriced. The wait for food was long even when the restuarant wasn't even busy. Our pizza was wrong and the second one that came out the dough wasn't done. Go to momma mias instead. The recipes are more authentic, bigger portions plus bread and salad with your dinner.

Mary Ellen Anderson-Hill

Excellent service with delicious food

Samantha Smith

Great food, atmosphere and service

Stephanie Martin

It was amazing food, however we didn't appreciate being placed outside when the were plenty of tables inside that weren't occupied...

Anissimov Guennadiy

both pasta and pizza are great. tiramisu is delicious

Marco Salvador

the original italian pizza

franky hanklemeyer

The best Neapolitan pizza in Nashville.

Jason Anderson

Everything was fantastic. Great experience

Martha Gabrielse

Wonderful food, great friendly service.

Zechariah Freeborn

Amazing atmosphere and great pizza!

John Alexander

Soggy undercooked pizza, very minimal on toppings even though we ordered extra, when we brought issues to the server, he argued instead of rectifying the situation,worst “Italian” food ever

Maria Brauer

Margarhita Pizza was burnt on the bottom and some on the crust.

Mary Hill

I was not impressed! I love gnocchi and order it often. While the light tomato sauce was good, the gnocchi were too soft, like over cooked macaroni and cheese, it just wasn’t right. (I’ve had it made by an Italian grandmother. I know gnocchi!) We were in a large party and had made a reservation. They had not put enough tables together for us and on each side two people had to share a small table. One man was sitting partially under a metal box on the wall. He could have easily hit his head or shoulder had he risen straight up. Our food was brought to the table and it was probably 15 minutes before our waitress returned to check on us. No bread! No salad! Just a small serving of gnocchi for $18! No thanks!

Kevin Liu

Fantastic crust and char. Smoky, classic neopolitan style pizza with italian ingredients.

Tessa Thompson

Everyone was so pleased with their dish, from the mussels, to the pizza and pastas. So yummy!!!

Jamey Carmichael

Excellent!

Carlos Trenary

Real Neapolitan pizzas made by actual people from Naples. Good pasta dishes and nice wines.

Tim Murray

This wss an excellent choice great pizza. I am not Italian but my buddy is, he said it was very much like the pizza his grandmother makes. I recommend stopping in for a pie and salad and maybe a pint or glass of vino.

Giuliana Atzori

This is the best Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant in Nashville! I am so glad to have finally found an Authentic Italian Restaurant! The owners and staff are awesome and the atmosphere is fabulous. I always feel at home, as if I were in Italy, when I am there!

Properly Wound

Bella Napoli is a hidden gem! We found it a few years ago and it is one of our favorite date night spots. Not fancy, and hidden in the Villa Place / Belmont area. Pizzas are incredible - as is their chicken parm, salads, and deserts -- the tiramisu and cannoli are must haves. I suggest fasting

Lesley Munshower

Got pizza to go and it was extremely disappointing. The pizza was cold, the crust barely cooked and it looked like they just threw the vegetables on. Was surprised because it had good reviews.

Jennifer Warner

Best Italian restaurant in Nashville! Authentic Napoleon fare from chefs Massimo and Paolo in historic Edgehill. Service is prompt from knowledgeable servers.

Leah Broda

Fantastic!! We had a company retirement party. The planning was easy. The staff is so great to work with. The food was fantastic. Every single person at this party complimented the food and the place and the staff.

20xclean

The best pizza in Nashville. Every dish is fresh and delicious. We love it and eat here as often as we can.

Matthew Heinz

Really enjoyed the food and service! The location and decor is really cool, which gives a nice atmosphere. I recommend lunch because the prices are lower. It falls somewhere in the middle between the fine dining and pizza shops that you normally think of for Italian food.

Andras M Marton

The food was good, and portions filling; however, no kids menu existed, and they charged $6.95 for plain, buttered noodles and $6.95 for a FEW pieces of dry, unflavored chicken. That's nearly $14 for far less than a full adult size meal at nearly the same price. Better Italian restaurants exist, especially at these prices.

Amber Hathcock

The food was amazing but a little pricey. Very neat spot to visit! Highly recommend

Mike Gross

Superb food and atmosphere for a nice little Italian place! Staff is great!

Beverly Caruthers

Absolutely the best Italian I have eaten, service is outstanding also!

Mark Horner

The food was great

Joshua Gutzmann

Pizza is very good and worth a try. Atmosphere is quite relaxing. However, the prices are quite high compared to other restaurants around.

Erik Deckers

Every time I come to Nashville, I always make sure to stop by here. It's a great Italian place, but I'm a big fan of their wood-fired pizza. They serve it uncut so you have to cut it yourself. That way it stays warmer longer.

Billy Joe

It proper Italian pizza

Tamara Morrone

Well as you can see by my last name I'm Italian and I'm pretty particular about my food so when I was told by a good friend that an Italian from New York came because he heard Tennessee was desperately in need of an authentic Italian restaurant and "He was it" well okay it was decent but it wasn't exactly Italian Mana from heaven. Since you asked I've got to say that I liked the ambience and it was a clean place, although women's bathroom was freezing cold. But here's something I noticed the most, the music was anything but Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin, in fact it was some weird wind instrument new age music. Thanks for recruiting my opinion, not sure I'd go back. It was not bellissimo!

Elaine Jay

Italian to its core. Delicious food and drinks.

eileen len

Ordered 4 pizzas for takeout with salads last Friday...Not impressed ,it was undercooked, flavorless ,wouldn’t eat there again.

Max Gunther

Super good. Small. Cozy. Artisan pizza. Definitely not a greasy pizza joint. I'm actually hesitant to write a review because it has been my favorite secret pizza place in Nashville for 10 years!

Al Moss

fabulous, reasonably priced, independently owned Italian restaurants. You'd be hard pressed to find better food in this not very visible to the street restaurant. You have to be looking for it to find it.

James Ohrt

Wow simply amazing You got to go

Jessie Okelley

That formaggio was wonderful

Rick Lowe

Awesome pizzas! If you want authentic Napoli pizza, this is the place.

Daniel Zewde

We go here anytime we’re in the mood for fresh pizza. They use the best tomatoes we’ve ever had, and we’ve both been to itsly

Janice Snow Rodriguez

Margherita pizza: best pizza crust in town, but not thrilled by the toppings. Meh...

Patricia Previtera

I thought the food was extremely salty and the sauce acidic. There was a long hair in the appetizer and we brought it to their attention but there was no offer to bring us a replacement. We brought our own wine only to find the uncorking fee ridiculous. I have had better pizza in Nashville. Our server though, was attentive and very friendly.

Bryan Tudor

Excellent food and service and in a cool neighborhood!

David Sager

This place is tucked in a back alley way. If I had not been with friends I would not have found it. The atmosphere is nice, and it gives you a vibe for that Italian mob setting. Which made me want to talk like the Godfather

Paul Russell

Great food, great atmosphere. The place is kid friendly but also nice for a casual date. On the weekends, live music makes the patio hard to beat!

Lorraine Alexis

Uh cute place but food was not good. It was just basic Italian food, no real flavor. Not worth the money.
