" If I wanted to define the essence of Italian dining in America, I would point to Bella Roma. Their commitment to authenticity is evident in every bite! The pasta is homemade, and you can taste the difference. During my visit, I had the lasagna bolognese and it knocked my socks off. The service was attentive, and the restaurant had a warm, inviting atmosphere. I can’t wait to return—this will definitely become a regular spot for me.

" Bella Roma is such a beautiful restaurant. The moment you step in, you feel the charm and energy in the air! We ordered a variety of dishes to share among our table. I particularly loved the fried calamari and lasagna; they were standouts for sure. I think they can get busy, so the service might lag a bit, but it was worth the wait for the food. I look forward to my next visit. Overall rating: 4, Authenticity: 4, Service: 3, Atmosphere: 5, Portion: 4. " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly enjoyed my visit to Bella Roma. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting. I ordered the rigatoni al vodka, and it was probably one of the best pasta dishes I've had in a while. The flavors blended perfectly, and the portion size was generous. The garlic knots were an excellent starter too! My only complaint would be that our server took a little longer to check on us during peak hours. Despite that, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality authentic food. Overall rating: 4, Authenticity: 5, Service: 4, Atmosphere: 4, Portion: 5.

" Overall, I don’t understand why everyone raves about this place. I found the food to be quite average at best. My gnocchi was undercooked, and the sauce didn’t help much. It felt like I was eating something very generic rather than authentic. The atmosphere was fine, and service was okay, but when you go for Italian food, I expect more. I probably won’t be returning anytime soon. Overall rating: 2, Authenticity: 2, Service: 3, Atmosphere: 3, Portion: 3. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner with friends at Bella Roma, and it was such a mixed bag. We were seated fairly quickly, and the atmosphere was nice, but the waiting staff seemed disorganized. My pasta carbonara was good—not the best I've had, but solid—and the portion was somewhat small for the price. The sweet finish with tiramisu was delightful, though. All in all, I think my expectations were too high after hearing so many rave reviews. Overall rating: 3, Authenticity: 4, Service: 3, Atmosphere: 4, Portion: 2. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! Bella Roma is a gem in the heart of New Albany. From the minute we stepped in, we felt like we were transported to an Italian villa. The decor was simple yet elegant, and the staff's warmth made us feel right at home. I opted for the carbonara, and let me tell you, it was heavenly! The sauce was rich and creamy—definitely not your typical run-of-the-mill sauce you'd find at chain restaurants. The portion was generous, and I barely had room for dessert, which was also amazing. Highly recommend the tiramisu! Overall, I believe everyone should experience this charming place at least once. Overall rating: 5, Authenticity: 5, Service: 5, Atmosphere: 5, Portion: 5. " (*Curated Review*)

" My dining experience at Bella Roma was less than impressive. The vibe was decent, but the food lacked the quality I was expecting. My pasta dish was underwhelming, and I left feeling unsatisfied. The place has potential, but they need to tighten up their food quality and service. Probably won't return anytime soon. Overall rating: 2, Authenticity: 2, Service: 2, Atmosphere: 3, Portion: 2.
