The food is amazing especially the buffalo riggies, and greens are 2 phenomenal dishes. The restaurant is tiny and the owners definately don't understand the meaning of business. BEWARE! You could wait hours for the dining experience in this tiny establishment and if you want take out fugggghedabout it they do that when they want to. Fridays and saturdays are... More

The portion sizes here are amazing--you'll go home with enough for at least 1 or 2 more meals. The food is fresh and made to order. The staff is amazing and very friendly. Can't say enough wonderful things about this place. Note: parking is limited, but you can park across the street.

This is one of my favorite resaurant in the area,best riggies in town and they give you enough to feed an army. Chicken Bella Mia is wonderful over a bed of greens with either long hot peppers or mild the appetizer they give you is fantastic never had it in any other restaurant.Restaurant is small and prepare to wait if...

Kitschy Italian decor. No reservations. Each dish is cooked to order so it is not a quick in and out place to eat. Very friendly staff and diners who were willing to make recommendations as we had not eaten there before. We are looking forward to a return trip there. Be sure to check times they are open as they... More

The food is very good and you get big portions. The food is cooked to order and fresh. The time to wait for it is worth it as I would rather have fresh food than microwaved food. Unfortunately the restaurant does not offer much parking. There is parking across the street in a shopping plaza if you don't mind walking... More

My son lives in Utica and we visit at least once a month. We went to Bella Mia one evening during a torrential downpour b/c it was close to his home. By far the best Italian meal I have had in a long time. Everyone in our family loved it. Now Bella Mia is our first choice when dining out... More

I did some research beforehand and found the reviews for this restaurant were excellent. My husband even went online while we were in our hotel and picked this place too! We went at dinner time but didn't even have to wait to be seated. This place was amazing!! Lots of pictures on the wall to look at and the decor... More
