This is a great restaurant! The warm lights inviting you in from the street. The amazing aromas floating about the air as you wander the street. The happy customers as they leave boasting about how good their meal was. With so many positives, how could one go wrong? ......you can't! As my wife and I drove through town we stumbled upon Bella as we were beginning to get hungry after a long flight home. As we searched forever for parking, we eventually found a spot and it was so worth it. I won't spoil the details of what we ate, as it was all amazing. The pictures that so many before me have posted, just don't do justice. This is truly a hidden gem that if you are looking for an amazing dinner out, you are in for a treat.

Lovely date spot!! Food was delicious and ambiance is beautiful! Will definitely be back!

Today, had the most amazing brunch since moving back from Los Angeles. Had the steak and eggs and it was superb. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for Sunday brunch.

My friend and I went to lunch here after a hike because he said he LOVED going. This was my first time in Knoxville, so he wanted to show me all of his favorite places! I had the Chicken Panini with Truffle Fries, which were delicious!! The truffle fries were just the perfect amount of truffle. For cocktails, I really enjoyed all the different varieties that they have. But I had the Fig Smash: bourbon, lemon, fig simple syrup, tamarind, soda, and amaro. The place had beautiful decorations, as well as lighting! It was such a great time, and I will definitely be back.

Really enjoyed eating at this place and the ambiance it provided. The salmon dish was absolutely excellent and the mashed potatoes were out of this world

We celebrated my husband's birthday at Bella's. We arrived in Saturday at 5:00 pm on a reservation. We ordered meatballs. Wheel, with shrimp, small salad. Perfect in every way!. Service impeccable. All around we would recommend this place to anyone. As a special treat they served us for his 85 birthday, Italian donuts with three different toppings. Chocolate, raspberry, powered sugar. Save your money and don't miss this place. Ambiance perfect!

We had a truly lovely meal at Bella. We ordered calamari (husband was excited to see the tentacles since so many places leave them out), fried artichokes, a small portion of creamy pasta prepared in a cheese wheel, and the Wednesday night special of spaghetti and meatballs. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was fantastic, offering suggestions and recommending my daughter and I share the cheese wheel pasta after we explained we didn't want a ton of leftovers. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. The half mood booths are great - we loved the privacy. I wish we'd had time for a leisurely dinner because I could see spending a few hours with cocktails, apps, mains and dessert. Parking was also a breeze in the lot across the street (it was a Wednesday and we got there around 5:30pm...by the time we left at 6:30pm the lot was full). We'll be back the next time we're in Maryville.

Another stellar dining experience at Bella! Upon arrival, we were greeted by a wonderful young man at the hostess stand who confirmed our reservation and seated us immediately at a cozy corner booth towards the rear of the restaurant; perfect spot to enjoy a quiet, intimate evening. Our server, Jordan, was attentive, accommodating and very professional in her craft. The evening began with wine and a salad for each. For our entree, we both decided to indulge in the penne pasta flambé with a side of shrimp. This was a fantastic choice. The wine was tasty and the salads were prepared with fresh ingredients. After our table was cleared of the salad bowls, a member from the "back of the house" approached our table with a rolling cart and introduce himself. He spoke of the ingredients he would be using to prepare our entree and what to expect by melding the ingredients with a large open flame. This was the highlight of our dining experience, one that you do not want to miss out on. Order the Penne Pasta Flambé. We ended the evening with another round of drinks and shared the caramel chocolate brownie cheesecake!

What a nice addition to downtown Maryville! Bella is located in the old Sullivans location, and it honestly feels like you're in a big city with its sophisticated vibe. I met a friend here for dinner several weeks ago. I selected the Tuscan Shrimp Pasta, which was exceptional. My date ordered a fillet and said it was top notch as well. Service was great - attentive without being hovery. I'll definitely be visiting Bella again in the future!

My husband and I dined here for our anniversary. We had a very romantic experience here. The food was delicious and the Pasta Wheel is a must-have. The menu doesn't explain your options very well, but you can either order 1 entrée or 2 sides (for 2 people) in order to receive the table side pasta service. You can also order proteins (meatballs, shrimp, steak, salmon) at an additional cost which isn't stated on the menu. We thought the Salmon was better than the Sirloin due to flavor and texture. Both needed a little more seasoning, but overall it was tasty. Next time, I want to try the Octopus, Meatballs, and Beef Short Ribs!
