Bella’s is one of our ‘go to’, not a chain food, restaurant.
Their specials are always delicious. And their Chicken Mudiga is one of my favorites.
And don’t forget the dessert! We’ve even gone in for just coffee and dessert after a movie.

The food was great! We enjoyed three appetizers! Two different martinis… Total of five. Yum!
It was clean and decorate well. The staff was inattentive and left us waiting for refills, food and check. Unfortunately this seems to be the norm.
No one every seems happy to be working there!
Nor do they seem to care that we are waiting to order another drink or more food!
Again food excellent! Atmosphere awesome! Service D! I have dinned at this establishment three times this week… Because of other persons choices. It has been the same all three times!
If they could get there staff to get it together this would be a great restaurant!

So amazing every time I come. I actually crave their house salad it’s that good. I’ve brought friends here because I promised them it’s amazing & they were not disappointed! A little expensive but nothing too insane. A great pick for a date night or fancy lunch date.

Toasted ravs, house salad, and pistachio crusted tilapia… best meal ever, always a must! Tried a friend’s Apple crisp bone in pork chop, pretty amazing too. Can’t go wrong with anything.

Interesting place almost missed it tucked in with all the other businesses. Cool side entrance and a fireplace in the dining area. Ordered pistachio crusted tilapia and flash fried spinach. Came with soup choice, tomato basil. Side of pasta with red sauce. Meal, service, and atmosphere all 5stars. One thing to change, better bread service. No flavor in the bread, butter or oil&parm.

We were on the way home Saturday afternoon from St Louis and decided to stop in Edwardsville for supper. We both had a craving for pasta so went to Bella Milano because we’ve enjoyed the one in Springfield. It was early, 4 PM, which turned out to be a good thing because it was Homecoming! Our waitress was great — very attentive even after it got busier, but not hovering. My husband ordered the Chicken Stasilli with oven roasted green beans (vegetable of the day) and it all looked delicious! I ordered Shrimp Rosalino with a side of pasta and it was fabulous! For dessert, I ordered the bread pudding. The menu said it was two kinds, but they tasted the same to me. It was delicious, but I was a little disappointed that it didn’t seem like two different kinds of bread pudding. House wines are Mondavi, so they are a very good choice.

Owners Sam and Debbie ensured our group of eleven enjoyed every moment of this evening! All appetizers and entrees were delectable! Superb wine selection! Dessert was ever so tasty! So grateful for the private room, attentive wait staff and simple pleasures extended to us!

Always delicious every time we have a meal here! House salad is a must. I highly recommend the artichoke dip or zucchini sticks as an appetizer. Any entrée will satisfy you… I’ve never been disappointed!
The $ 10 lunch menu is great — affordable and filling at the same time. If you ask, they’ll even bring out olive oil/​Parmesan with your bread during lunch service.

Bella Milano never disappoints. They have a number of great italian starters, such as the toasted ravioli’s. The house salad is awesome! They have a variety of dinner entres if you aren’t into pasta. The salmon is delicious! Full bar and they now have a patio area as well open.

It was in the winter. I remember the date because it was my birthday. It had been seven years since my last trip. I recall that visit as well. I may be off on the butter. However, I am certain as to the dish. It is your seafood linguini in a wine sauce. I have had it two times and find it a horrible mess. I specifically requested if they could make the same dish with a cream sail use instead. If not, I would make another choice because of the mess it makes. I prefer to eat not wear my dinner. I wasn’t happy with the result. Enough said.
As for the tip, I am certain about this as well. We had separate checks and a party member pointed out the included gratuity. We discussed it at length as to the impact on service and even discussed how some businesses are making it a standard for all checks. You may not be aware of it, but I assure it was added to our bills.
Like I said, the staff was friendly enough, the food was passable. I took a couple bites of mine and took the rest home because I didn’t want to wear it. After it sat in the fridge for a couple days, the sauce has thickened sufficiently to where it was a good meal. I just wished I cook have enjoyed in the restaurant.

The food is very bland. Not the best place to go. Some pizzas are not too bad but overall it’s okay

Approx. 18 months before her wedding, my organized daughter asked for time one weekend to check out six different potential wedding reception venues. We saw quite a variety, from places like the Moose Lodge and the American Legion to places like Sunset Hills Country Club and GC Cuisine. In the end, we settled on the elegant but affordable LeClaire Room, N.O. Nelson Campus, L&CCC. Many E’villians know it as place for the Goshen Rotary Club and fundraisers of all kinds. More than 100 years ago, it started out as a plumbing fixture business, became an art building for SIUE, then, more recently, became part of the community college, and underwent an extensive renovation. It’s a large, architecturally interesting space with lots of natural lighting, a nice atrium for buffets and/​or dance floors, courtyard for photos, and a good AV system. It also has an exclusive catering arrangement.
Which brings me to Bella Milano Catering. Kori G. was our initial contact, and set us up with a contract, and several options we considered for a long time. About three months out, we went to a tasting, and settled on the menu. By the time of the event, Kate L. was our contact, and she did an absolutely marvelous job of meeting with us whenever we needed, and making sure every question was answered and detail addressed. From special menu requests, to bride-​groom slide show, to DJ contact, to final set up and decoration, to hosting, serving, and clean-​up, Kate was there to make sure things went smoothly. What did we eat? The vegans, gluten-​frees, and lactose-​frees had their own plates. For the rest of us, it looked something like this:
Milano Salad
Chicken Parmigiano
Prime Rib
Mashed Potatoes with Beef Mushroom Gravy
Cavatelli Pasta in an Oil Butter & Garlic Sauce
Green Beans with Bacon & Onion
Brown Sugar Maple Glaze Baby Carrots
(We arranged for dessert cupcakes from «The Cup»)
Champagne Toast
Coffee, Tea, Water
Soda Bar (unlimited Pepsi products)
Cash Bar: 16-​oz beer $ 4, wine & mixed drinks $ 5, premium mixed drinks $ 6
My daughter was and is very happy, and a good time was had by all.

Nice casual light Italian dining. It was busy and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
My dad said they have the best salad he’s ever had. That might be setting the bar too high. It was very good.

Over all very good. I would go back. Yummy!

Came in last Saturday with my family (party of 4) and didn’t have reservations, which was silly on our part. We had a small wait but the hostess made us feel really welcomed and was talkative and friendly during our wait. We were seated promptly and our server arrived outlaying all of the dinner specials and house
start off I ordered a passion fruit cocktail and it was to die for! I ordered the baked mostaccioli and a Milano salad I believe and both came out great as well. Service was phenomenal, food and drinks were excel em and the ambiance was perfect. Definitely coming back soon

Even though «The Hill» is only 30 minutes away, why leave town, when you can get a taste of it; right here in Edwardsville!
The food was delicious, but they are a little proud of it. But that this okay, I saved the money in just the fuel cost and local convenience. I would have given them five stars, except our waiter seemed to go MIA too many times. Plus, the acoustic’s are not the most desirable.
