Bella Italia - Cape Girardeau

I had a decent Italian meal at this restaurant last night with friends. Here are the positives: the marinara sauce paired with the toasted ravioli was enjoyable, the iced tea was refreshing, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was pleasant. As for the entrees, they were...

Delicious food, excellent service, and above all, great vibes! The spaghetti and lasagna are absolutely delightful!

The complimentary loaf of bread served before the meal is absolutely fantastic, and the chicken fettuccini Alfredo is simply outstanding!

Hubby and I travel through the Cape several times a year as it’s about half way to my in-laws. We searched small business restaurants in the area looking for Italian food. Came across Bella Italia and the menu sounded incredible so we gave it a try. I did read mixed reviews on Google BUT we always want an opportunity to have our own experience to decide. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the whole experience! The moment we walked in the bartender greeted us. We requested a booth in the bar, he seated us and said our server would be right over. She stopped by, took our drink order and told us about Happy Hour specials. They weren’t too busy, but it was Wednesday about 5pm. Our server brought our bottle of wine and asked if we wanted an appetizer. We ordered the Spinach dip, which was delicious. She also brought us a round of HOMEMADE BREAD…..TO DIE FOR!!! We shared a bowl of Lobster Bisque, also…TO DIE FOR! The entree we choose to share was the Seafood Cannelloni again….absolutely amazing!!! Bella Italia crew…thank you for the best Italian meal we’ve had since March 2020. We will ABSOLUTELY be coming back to try more of your wonderful menu! TONY CHRISTIE

We never pass Cape Girardeau without a visit to our favorite Italian restaurant! We sat outside on the patio for the first time and really enjoyed ourselves. If you want good pasta and good service, this is your next stop!
