Bella Balducci’s Mediterranean Cuisine

Hello
I do play piano at that restaurant and I did try the Falafel WOW honest it was the best I had in a long Time, I know falafel is hard to make special with all the spices that is in .
I love this place and the people in Bella Balducci’s

so delicious! fast and friendly service. definitely my favorite greek place.

I love this place! The food is great! The staff is great; they remember what me and my daughter order even though we don’t go there as much as we’d like. The gyros are great and priced right. I also like the ambience, especially at night. One of my favorite spots in town.

Best fries, super crispy and flavorful with just a bit of feta on top. Lamb was ridiculously tender. Very attentive service. Prices seemed cheap to me for how tasty the food was.

Had it not been for a Groupon we wouldn’t have known about this place and it would have been our loss! Tucked in a strip mall this place was beyond amazing! The 5 course meal was so good my husband and I expressed our surprise numerous times. On top of all the amazing food the owners/​server/​cook are the nicest people! This restaurant earns every star and we will definitely be back!

A great little Greek place! The staff are really friendly inside and the food is delish! It was nice to enjoy a beer and some gyros. Yummiest Greek around!

Great food, great service, really cute little spot. We sat right by the fireplace which added nicely to the ambiance. The chicken kabob and shrimp dinner were both delicious, we will definitely be back!

Pretty good gyros! Very good service, the girl who took care of us did great. She brought out the wrong order for my boy, but was very apologetic and fixed it right away. Not the best gyro I’ve ever had, but really good and priced right. I would return anytime.

Hard to find good gyros in the area north of Seattle bug thus place is worth the drive.

Really yummy meal, great service and fast. Made the mistake of ordering lamb well done though and it was so tough, I could hardly cut it and my mouth got a workout! Will definitely be back and order it medium!
Caesar salad was great! Leaving quite satisfied.

Great service, great food and a great price! We will definitely be back! Had the gyro plate (beef and lamb) and finished my plate clean! Even my 5 year old (who we also ordered the gyro plate for) ate it up! He said (and I quote) «whenever I’m hungry I always want to come here and try different things!» I completely agree! :)

Oh my goodness such delicious food ! Fast and great customer service :) been a dozen times since a friend introduced me to their lunch special !

It’s so nice to have something that’s a slightly different taste in town. Still, will always be my favourite restaurant in Monroe. Romin always remembers my order, what to substitute, and so on. Friendly staff, and clean place.

This was a pleasant surprise! Stopped in on our way up to the mountains and was amazed at how good the food was. The feta red pepper dip was so flavorful and the lamb was very good. A little under seasoned but still tasty. The Tiramisu was the only thing I didn’t like, tasted like it came from a box. The chicken rice soup was delicious. The service was phenomenal! The make you feel welcomed and make you want to come back. Will defiantly come back again.

This is a little Mediterranean jewel hidden in an unassuming strip mall. This is, by far, the best Med food I’ve ever had, hands down. These three brothers and their extended family and friends are doing everything right!
This scratch kitchen uses family recipes that are heavenly. The carbonaro sauce on my fettucine was light and full of that parm flavor. None of that heavy cream sauce, it’s just a sheer delight. The Italian sausage was incredibly delicious, seared to a crispiness! Everything is made in house and done with so much love it can be tasted in every bite. The portions are humungous, as well. I took half home and as I write this, I can’t wait to dig in for my breakfast, too!
I’ll admit, I was concerned when my husband ordered the rack of lamb. Their prices had me fearing the worst. But the demi glacé was like silk and so tasty, I was sorry I didn’t order it, too. He was nice enough to share a bit, which only had me hoping he’d get up and go to the bathroom, so I could steal the rest!
We had the Groupon deal, so we had an appetizer of spanokopita (forgive the spelling), which was perfection. Each bite was sheer deliciousness. The soup AND salad were also included, so we got the Greek salads. The Tzatziki dressing is also made in their kitchen and is chunky enough to taste the bits of cucumber. The soup was a chicken lemon soup, I don’t remember the name, which is a shame because I’m not doing it justice at all. It was a bright cheery interpretation of a sweet little soup that had me sorry when I swallowed the last spoonful. Desserts were also included, I got the Chocolate Mousse Pie and the hubs got Baklava. Again, I couldn’t get through my delicious dessert but I’m looking forward to that for lunch! Their desserts are equally as wonderful as their savory dishes.
I love finding little hidden treasures like this and I almost hate to give this review, for fear others will find this place and they’ll go big. These brothers love what they do and when they talk about it, they light up! I had the pleasure of having a short little convo with two of them and found them to be sweet. They love what they do and it shows in their food.
Idk how long their Groupon deal will be going on but it’s definitely worth trying!

Cute little restaurant in a strip mall. I would have never stopped by here if it wasn’t for Unilocal.
The lamb and beef gyro is fantastic, great flavor, tender meat and super friendly staff, huge bonus was 2 gyros, fries and a soda was $ 15. I’m not normally a French fry person, but I couldn’t quit eating these.
Definitely will go back!

My daughter got married early Sept and wanted Greek food! Ramen is such a wonderful man– he catered the wedding made food to order as guests came by. Brought his giant portable grill and cooked away! What a sweet bunch of people. The food of course was outstanding! My 88yr old dad who hates to try anything new loved the gyros. Good job Ramen! We can hardly wait to nominate you for best of Washington. :) yummo!

My son never having a gyro was nervous. How can something full of fresh vegetables can be enjoyable? So I brought him home one. Eat it or starve. Guess who wanted to go back the next night? The food is great, price point is awesome and the owner and staff phenomenal. When we cannot agree on what we want for dinner, this is always our back up.
Fry sauce rules!

Although this is one of the few restaurants in Monroe, we haven’t been here in a long time, due to poor service and food the last time.
I convinced my husband to try them again because of a great Groupon deal and recent positive reviews.
I’m VERY happy to say that they have changed for the better!!!
Right when we walked in the door we were greeted and seated «sit wherever you like» and then the gentlemen waited patiently while I decided where to sit. As we sat down he asked what we’d like to drink, to which my husband replied that it might be a few minutes «no problem». (unfortunately I was having a problem getting my Groupon account to work). When the gentleman came back we explained about the Groupon issue again «no problem» let’s just get you started with drinks while you figure it out. And then he explained what was included in the deal. We got our drinks and got the Groupon deal figured out with his HELP! Yes he actually helped me figure out my problem, most places do the Groupon deals, but then hate it when people use them.
The gentlemen who took our order was so great, friendly and patient. And from what I could tell, tonight he was both waiter and cook!!! He was working several tables (along with another gentleman) and our food still came out at a normal pace without any long waits. Both gentlemen worked every aspect of the restaurant. Taking phone orders, walk in orders, busying tables and everything in between seamlessly. It was wonderful and unless you’ve worked in a restaurant you wouldn’t understand how amazing this is.
And the food! OMG the food was amazing!!! Like I said before, everything was deliver in the proper order without any long waits between courses. Everything was hot, fresh and tasted so good. The gentlemen checked back often but didn’t hover. He realized that our grand daughter was too young for a her own dinner, but thought to bring out a small side plate with our food so that we could give her food from ours.
We had plenty of leftovers and although they still use those awful styrofoam containers, they do give you a nifty earth friendly bag rather then a plastic one.
I can honestly say that they have earned a place in our regular eating out routine. Which for us, means that we will be back at least 3 or more times a month (what can I say, cooking is not my strong point)

A terrific menu of fresh, great tasting food — stuck in a strip mall.
If this were a full restaurant, I would expect it to be packed all of the time — the food is that good — and unique.
The Greek gyro for lunch is the best bargain in town and the dinner portions are generous.
Great place just needs a better location.
