About this restaurant

Charming
Great for fine wines
Romantic

Hello, Salve, Hola, Bonjour, Olá,

Alex and I started our first business, Bella's Pizzeria in 1996, in partnership with my dad, Mario.

After 25 years, we have decided to take our experience and open a new, fine-dining restaurant located in the heart of downtown Long Branch at 202 Broadway.

We began this journey in October 2020 with an idea which then became a dream and it has finally become a reality: American cuisine with a Mediterranean fusion.

We look forward to serving you.

We went here for a friends 50th. Had some real good food. It was very noisy is the only downside we experienced. Hard to have a conversation. They had a singer there that was very good, however it was still too loud to converse. Atmosphere and food were terrific. It was our first time here.

While the food was very good, the service and kitchen was painfully slow. It took forever for our appetizers to arrive and we had to ask the server what happened. We were close to cancelling the appetizers and then magically they appeared. Kind of disorganized this time.

I’ve been here a few times and the experience was very good. I made a reservation for 4 on Valentines Day at 8 o’clock and waited a hour and no seating! The owner/manager had no clue how to seat a reservation, so we left for another restaurant! Needless to say they lost 4 patrons plus anyone else willing to listen. Too bad!

Overall all disappointing. Dishes overly loaded with sauces and overcooked vegetables hiding the flavor of the proteins.
