   Great place for date night or meeting with friends. My wife said the shrimp scampi was the best she has had in raleigh, and the same for me and my lasagna with a perfect balance of ingredients, especially sauce, cheese, and pasta. All of the staff were welcoming, pleasant, and efficient. Best Italian around

   We sat outside in the heaters, were really good to keep us warm. That was probably the best part of the dinner. The bread that they put on the table was old and hard. The bruschetta we ordered had no flavor in the bread was stale. I had the lobster ravioli And it had no flavor and the sauce was bland. I probably will not be back.

   Loved the food we ate. Service very good, maybe a little too involved with several people (4) coming to check on us too many times. Interrupts conversation a bit. We were thankful for the heaters outside on this evening. Glad I made a reservation because it was a busy night for a weekday, maybe due to the Cains game. But we got seated quickly. Enjoy coming here.

   Bella Monica is an absolute gem! The food is incredibly authentic and fresh, making every bite a delight. I had the lasagna with caramelized onions, and it was nothing short of amazing—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The ingredients tasted so fresh, and you can tell they put a lot of love into their dishes. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was fantastic. If you're looking for delicious Italian food that truly feels homemade, Bella Monica is the place to go. Highly recommend! 🍝✨ Would definitely return! 😍👏

   Food was absolutely amazing. It's is a bit pricey but I don't go often. My friend had never been there so it was nice to share a new experience with her. We had outdoor sidewalk seating, but the heater worked well, it was a nice day. We ate early enough that it was just out there, so it was quiet and relaxing.
