" I visited Cala Bella with a group of friends during the Magical Dining event, and while the appetizer was excellent, my main dish—Chicken Parmesan—fell flat. It lacked the punch and freshness I associate with true Italian cuisine, but the desserts certainly made up for it. The cheesecakes were particularly delightful. Service was quite attentive despite the busy evening. Overall, I'd recommend it but with some reservations about certain dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Cala Bella was quite enjoyable. We had a lovely meal which featured authentic flavors and well-cooked dishes. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp scampi that had the right amount of garlic sauce. The ambiance was suited for relaxation, although it was quite busy that night. The service did reflect this at times, as we had to wait a bit longer for our desserts. Nevertheless, everything else made up for it, and I'd go back if in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely experience dining at Cala Bella. The ambiance was quiet, yet chic—perfect for a date. I appreciated the waiter who expertly explained the different wines to accompany our meal. The lobster ravioli I ordered was delicious, and the portion size was generous. Service was quick, making the overall experience feel special. Wrap it up with the chocolate pudding for dessert—I can still taste it! Will definitely return for another romantic evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cala Bella was everything I expected and more. We went for a business dinner, and the environment was classy and professional. I tried the risotto which, admittedly, was a bit heavier than I anticipated. The flavors were rich, and I appreciated the artistic presentation. The service was attentive, too. The only hiccup was the dessert; the tiramisu was slightly too sweet for my taste. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would recommend it for business meetings or personal celebrations. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Cala Bella during our vacation, drawn in by the positive reviews. The service was friendly from the start, and the atmosphere had a nice air to it, but the food didn't quite meet our expectations. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, which was flavorful but lacked the homemade charm I was anticipating. On the other hand, my sister loved the calamari appetizer and recommended it heartily. Although my entree wasn't spectacular, I enjoyed the experience but would perhaps try something different on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" While staying at the hotel, my partner and I decided to try Cala Bella and we weren’t disappointed. The ambiance was perfect for a dinner date, with soft music playing in the background. Our server was attentive and made excellent recommendations. I had the veal pasta, which was cooked beautifully. We finished off the evening with a chocolate souffle that was decadent and rich. A lovely escape within the hotel. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cala Bella is a gem hidden inside a hotel! The entrance was a bit tricky to find, but once seated, we were treated to a memorable dinner. The oxtail fettuccine was definitely a standout dish—a rich, meaty ragu that was bursting with flavor! The service was friendly, although we did experience a slight delay in receiving our entrees. Nonetheless, the food was worth the wait! A great option for dining while enjoying your stay at the Rosen Shingle Creek hotel. " (*Curated Review*)
