    We ate here in November and I knew I had to take my young adult daughters when they were home for Christmas! We had a wonderful meal, served by “Santa”. My daughters loved all of the decorations, and the music was so fun and festive! The staff were especially accommodating for my daughter’s food allergy. We will certainly be back!

    Loved this place from the moment we walked through the door. Greeted by a cheery, sweet, blonde young lady who showed us to our table. Our waitress was equally warm and friendly and helped us decide what drinks and food to order and gave us wonderful suggestions. Thank you for the great service and food!

    We love Bella Napoli. The staff is super friendly and the food is terrific, particularly the pizza. My wife is gluten-free and it is one of the few places she enjoys the gluten-free crust. There are many great options to eat in Nashville, but we visit all the time.
