Reviews of Bella Napoli Pizzeria
Dj Sullivan
True Italian done extremely well. It's a very cool place to eat dinner. The staff is very friendly from the time we met the guy at the door till the time we sat down our waitress and everything was 1st class.
Our waitress was very accommodating very informative and gave us all lots of options.. We had a party of 8 so we tried 3 different appetizers and most everything on the menu. Not one single complaint and everyone actually ranted and raved about how good it was. I would not hesitate to go back truly top notch food and service! A rare combination now a days
Eddy Gann
The food was spectacular here. I’d highly recommend giving one of their specials a try. You might end up having something incredible like their braised beef gnocchi.
Also, save room for dessert. The flourless chocolate cake is heavenly.
Tony Chien
We decided to give this restaurant a try while we were waiting for our airbnb house ready. It was easy to find. The street parking was full so we ended up park at a parking lot with fee acrossing from the restaurant. The atmosphere and decor were excellent. Staff were friendly. Unfortunately, we had to wait 15 minutes for our table and 30 minutes for our food. We sat outside since the weather was nice at the time. The food was delicious and delectable.
GIOVANNA CORONA
Authentically Italian. The “sapore” of the pizza is the same as back home in FVG. The recommended wine paired perfectly with my Margherita. The owner, Francesco, offered a beautiful, aromatic and chilled limoncello that was simply INCREDIBLE!! If you haven’t gone, GO!!!
BriannaKay Bradshaw
Amazing, quaint, and absolutely worth it. A rare yet, prestigious find in Nashville, Tennessee. A combination of Litte Italy and authenticity will leave you saying "Yes!" to a cannoli or two. A true pleasure to wine and dine at this romantic, yet family friendly establishment. You will feel as if you are a 1000 miles away and right at home.
jackson hasty
Been coming here for like 12 years…. Maybe eventually I’ll correctly pronounce capricciosa! One of my favorite classic Neapolitan pizzas ever, and the outside area is very cute if you go in the summer. Lexi was our server she was great. Also got a cappuccino but I drank it before I could get a picture just trust me that it was good
Hyunjeong Lee
Their 8-inch lunch pizza was so great! I ordered a margherita, and I liked it a lot. I will definitely come back to try different menus
Steven Wayne
Best seat in the house! The food is spectacular. The service is phenomenal. Salad, pizza, ravioli, cheesecake, and cannolis. 100% recommend. Will definitely return.
Dr. Francesco Masala-Martínez
Everything is fantastic every time I go! I always order a plate of prosciutto crudo and mozzarella di bufala as an appetizer which is always delicious and fresh.
Their pizzas are to die for and the owners (both of them from Italy) are the kindest people ever! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you want to have a real Italian experience!
Brian Lupkes
Really love this place. Open kitchen so you can watch them make the food. It really is authentic Italian. Very busy place, I would recommend getting a reservation. Great service. The Nutella pizza is a must for dessert.
Charles Cooper
A simple but solid menu of Neapolitan pizzas and pastas plus a few salads. All very good and enjoyable if somewhat unremarkable. The service is very good though they were a bit in the weeds the night we visited. We came on short notice without a reservation and were able to get seating outside. Of course, summer heat and flies made for a slightly less enjoyable experience. But we managed and had a pleasant meal. It’s just not for everyone. If you want to eat indoors, just know that reservations are required for popular evenings and weekends. And be sure they’re for indoor dinner and not outdoor or as available. Parking is available on the street or in the lot across the way.
Samantha Partridge
Very lovely family business. Very kind and friendly service, not the fastest, and an overall wonderful experience. The food was delicious, we had a party and they were very accomadating. The menu is great for parties that don’t want to just share a pizza, and the pasta is just as good of quality. Unlike most pizza places. Didn’t take any pictures but it looked beautiful too!
Samuel Edmondson
The chicken parmesan was pretty good here. The pizza is okay, but I don't like neapolitan pizza really.
J.k. Oh
I've been here 4 times now. Absolutely GREAT pizza. We went a few days ago and there was a mix up with the servers and they assigned the bar tender to wait our table. He was incredible! Again, great salad, great wine and pizza. I will visit again!
vengefull toast
Had a great meal here earlier today. The staff was extremely friendly and the restaurant had a welcoming and warm feel to it. Our server Noah was amazing and the food was as well! Highly recommend to anyone wanting some good Italian food, looking forward to having the pasta next time!
Jasmine Jones
Service was great! Everyone was very nice and helpful. However, I was shocked at the price considering how little food we got. My husband got the penne alla vodka which he didn't like. He said it had no flavor and he would have rather went to Olive Garden. I got the white pizza special which was decent but a little too burnt. That's all we got with 3 little artichokes and one glass of wine and it was over $100. The pizza's are too small. The place looks cute but I wouldn't go back because I can think of a million other places I would rather spend $100 at. I'm only giving 3 stars for service alone.
Tym Blanchard
Food's pretty mediocre. Our calamari was just ok, with a pale batter that tasted on par with what I'd expect and a pretty uninspired sauce. Pasta was bad, basically on par with something I'd have microwaved from some ready-to-eat frozen bag. We took two bites of the enormous plate and took the rest to go, which we gave to a homeless man. Pizza was substantially better, with a fairly well done crust, but toppings were only adequate, with large hard chunks of cheese and excessively leafy greens that created too much volume when trying to enjoy a slice, but still acceptable.
Look, it's not awful, servers were nice and the portion sizes are extremely generous, but ask yourself why are you eating out and then why are you eating here? There are better Italian places, there are better pizza places.
amanda smith
We absolutely love Bella Napoli. The pastas are pretty good. The pizzas and Caesar salad you can never go wrong with. We have been here at least 10 times and continue to love the vibe and the owners. Highly recommend.
BJ Yoder
Unbelievable. Caleb was a great server, Annalisa and John had the live music and the food was unbelievable. Five stars all day.

My name is Oliver, and I want to say that this place is amazing, excellent service, I was hosted by Francesco very cordialy and then my waiter was Matt, both are great examples of peak service in the service industry. But the food, was as amazing as the service. The desserts where also amazing. There is nothing negative at all about this place. I recommend the Tortadella Nona as dessert, that is an explosion of a perfect combination of aroma, texture and taste. 10/10.
Matthew and Kristen Turvin
Delicious lunch at Bella Napoli.
We ate outside on the patio and the service was excellent. Very accommodating with my daughter too.
The food was fresh and well prepared. The pizza crust is exemplary and the panini made from it may have been better than the pizza! Only complaint was the pizza was a little soggy in the very middle, but the flavors were on point and the crust had great color and texture.
Elle West
Sensational service and quality that towers above many local restaurants. A true taste of Italy. Glad we took the expert advice of our server who recommended great wines and dishes. Their pizza and bolognese sauce is so absolutely perfect! Take a seat outside on their cozy patio and you’ll feel transported to your favorite little Italian ristorante!
Amad Amedy
Nashville isn't known for its pizza, but this place surprised me with authentic Neapolitan Pizza comparable to that I've had in Napoli. The restaurant is also very cozy with brick walls, a brick oven in an exposed kitchen, and friendly Italian faces at every corner from the hosts to the guests. A true hidden gem in Nashville.
Emily Clibourn
Best Italian restaurant I’ve found in Nashville! Family owned business, everyone is so friendly (especially Eric at the bar) and the food is incredible! Best lasagna I’ve had. Ask for the homemade lemoncello!
Tara Allen 51
Italian owned restaurant with authentic Italian food and wood-fired pizzas, homemade pastas and dressings, and specialty cocktails. The location is in a nice, hidden area with street parking, and you can choose to sit in or outdoors. Staff are very friendly and the vibe is welcoming.
Soluslupem
A cute little fancy pizza place. They pull off that chic enough to be cool, but not chic first that so many nashville restaurants fail to. The plates are good, but their best thing is the pizza, kind of homestyle and artesian without being pretentious... Try em out
James Collier
What a great spot with such an amazing patio! The pizzas are fantastic, spot on pasta with just the right amount of sauce, decent wine selection, and great service. All in all, great place to enjoy this amazing spring time weather!
Joseph Matarazzo
As a New Yorker, I can honestly say I’ve found the best pizza in Nashville. Delicious ingredients on this authentic Napoletano style pie. The brick oven creates a perfect crust. Great atmosphere in the Edge Hill neighborhood of Nashville. Perfect for couples, groups, or families looking for a delicious authentic taste of Italy.
J
This place is fantastic. The servers are very kind and attentive. The pizza is great, thin and has a slight char to the underside for that great brick over flavor.
Katy Jamison
This was hands down an amazing experience. Sam was a top notch waiter. The food was beyond delicious. So much flavor, my taste buds were dancing all over the place. Yum! Yum! Yum! I only wish I lived closer.
Allison
Great drinks, amazing service, wonderful food! The calamari was very tasty. We ordered vegetarian pizza that was really fresh. The dessert was heavenly. We sat outside and really enjoyed the ambiance. It was our 1st time to visit and we will definitely be returning.
kc zem
We just left and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff was extremely kind and accommodating and the food was delicious. Drinks were refilled nonstop throughout our time there and all dishes were brought out nice and hot. Shout out to Matt for taking such good care of us with our one year old daughter. 💐♥️ …
Amber Lucci
Food was absolutely amazing! Definitely, would recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is very unique and authentic. Most friendly staff ever, we had Kaleb... He is amazing! Please go visit this restaurant.
Frank Casillo Jr.
My daughter and I went for dinner. We had the artichokes, calamari and the prima pizza. It was fantastic! The staff was friendly and attentive. I definitely would like to go there again! Ciao!
daniele sedda
Had the chance to have dinner at this wonderful place last night, visiting from Italy, I was very happy to find an authentic place like this!
Awesome food! Awesome service! The pizza and the pasta were amazing!
5 stars! recommended!!!
Marissa Barnes
A really cute place with really fresh tasting food. We had the penne vodka and Margherita pie both which were delicious. Prices were reasonable. Definitely the best Neapolitan pizza you’ll find here!
Dorothy Betts Wilkins
Yummy fire grilled pizza made right inside the restaurant where you're sitting. Nice wine list and waiter recommend a great pairing with my 4 cheese pizza.
Maurizio Sedda
Staying at the Virgin Hotel. Asked for a suggestion and I ended up at Bella Napoli. Great Italian food in Nashville and I am Italian. Server was great. She made some great food recommendation and paired my wine. Pizza special with the artichoke cream and speck was the bomb. Pinot Nero from Alto Adige hit the spot. Glad I had dinner here. Will definitely be dining here again if I am ever back in Nashville!
Maureen Quigley
This place is the best.. we came in with 6 people on a friday night.. Francesco seated us within 5 mins .. great service by Matt who was so patient with all of us... Francesco was amazing! He offered us some homemade delicious lemoncello (not sure how to spell it) .. they made us philadelphians feel so welcome and gave us some recommendations on where to go... and the food was great!!! 10/10 recommend ... thanks everyone!!!
Tasha Poduska
Nice to find napoleon pizza. Nashville. The staff and owner seem to be all Italian, so that explains the great taste and service. They are always busy, so maybe make a reservation. Thin crust that is hand tossed.
Mike B
In from out of town, having had pizza in Napoli Italy… this place is about the closest your going to get here in the states! Quick service & great pizza!! We’ll be stopping back!!
Ang Estrada
Good food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good service! Nick was a great server.
Christian Filip
The BEST pasta ever. Pizza is great too. Live music. Great bar tender
Eric H
One of the best pizzas in Nashville. Service is on the slow side but not extremely so. They are very nice and it is worth the wait.
Andy Reuter
Best pizza around! I do miss the white paper on the tables, now we have to entertain the kids ourselves.
David Vanderpool
Had a wonderful time lastnight. Family loved the pizza. The atmosphere was great got to sit outside in the alley which was very nice. We will be back to this local spot. The staff were nice and the food was quick.
Carrie Taylor
We are here out of town. Our waiter was super helpful and amazing. All of the staff are very courteous! The bruschetta is the best we have had? The pizzas were equally amazing! Highly recommend!
nathan estrella
Bella Napolis has the best Italian cuisine in the south. Came here for the time back in ‘19 and have always had the best service. When I think of Italian food I always think about Bella’s. Sadly I don’t live in Nashville anymore but this place will always hold a special place in my heart. Cherie “Brooke” was the best server there and made my friends and I feel like family whenever we dined in.
Rick Allen
My Italian wife is always looking for a great place to eat. We found one here and will be back. She had the Penne ala Vodka and gives that alone 5 stars. The Tiramisu put it over the top.
Suci Fitriany
They have one of the best pizza in Nashville. We are from North AL, we would drive to Nashville just for pizza from this place. My husband loves it. But the cannoli was mediocre.
Marco Ji
Authentic napolean style pizza. Good service although a bit slow. Pizza menu was pretty limited but food was good
BT Fisher
Different style of pizza that is light and excellent. You will see reviews crying about more flavor...however, I think some are used to garlic 🧄 overload. Not here. Tastes back alley Italian...and simply amazing …
Jennifer DePanicis
This place smells so good as you wait for your food. Was mouthwatering great service, and practicing safety in these covid 19 times.
Kim Duncan
Delicious appetizers and pizza. Great service and perfect weather for patio seating. We will visit again.
John Gilbert
I enjoyed the Italian cuisine and the service was just right combination of efficacy and hospitality.
The cost was very fair considering the first rate experience
Michael Scott Burke
Cozy place with great food... excellent date night! The Salsiccia pizza is phenomenal and the penne alla vodka has a wonderful, subtle flavor... but the panna cotta... wow... it’s superb!
Matt Thompson
Pizza was just OK. Nothing to rave about. The margarita pizza was literally cheese pizza. Very blah. Lasagna however was very good, but the portion seemed a bit small. Our server also did not tell us the specials. We only knew there was an app specials when we overheard another server telling the table next to us. Finally, they were out of calamari which is one of the reasons we went (as we looked at the menu online).
Nash Hearn
Would give 4.5 if I could. It's a good time, the food was excellent. Nothing really negative to say but just didn't quite meet 5 star.
Laraine
I love this place. Recent visit and I was a little disappointed with the limited menu but the meatball panini was really good!!
John Dibert
Great, authentic food in a quiet plaza. The pizza and the bruschetta were truly Napolitano! Wish we lived here so we could visit often!!
Silvia Meucci
Nice atmosphere, amazing food
We love the experience
CZ SHOOTER
If you are looking for authentic Italian pizza, you will not be disappointed. If you are looking for Americanized pizza, this place is not for you. The pizza was delicious and the flavors kick you in the taste buds.
Terry Davis
Great food. Very fresh and tasty. Nice waitress. I left wallet at AirBNB and told her I needed to go get it. She was very nice.
Chantilly Lace
Great place! Delicious food and quick service. After a few drinks at Old Glory we came to get some pizza and paninis!
Jacob Herman
Special was meat lovers. Great pizza, solid service. Will definitely get the chicken parm next visit
Lucy D
Excellent food & atmosphere! The staff was very friendly & great to talk to
Gd Carma
DELIZIOSO!!! Did not disappoint. Make a reservation well in advance if you don't want to sit in the courtyard. The Limoncello Cream was a perfect ending to to a lovely, authentic Italian feast.
Eric Merrill
Location is unique and parking was not an issue, most of Nashville is used to paying for parking.
Staff was friendly and attentive, food was good, not that good is bad. Menu is small and not overwhelming by any means but ask your server about special dishes.
We ordered salads and they came out with very little dressing, seemed like all we were eating was lettuce. The main courses were very tasty, love the homemade noodles.
Alexandria White
I'm currently having to avoid dairy and soy due to my breastfed sons sensitivity and not only was the server knowledgeable on their menu items, he informed me that they don't use soy at all, which is amazing. He was very friendly with my kids and prompt with our meal and drinks. The food itself was phenomenal, flavorful and cooked to perfection. Very good selection of wine and beers. 10/10 will go again.
c s
Yum! Great pizza! There is indoor and outdoor seating. I would definitely recommend. We got some dirty dishes and the service took a long time, but the pizza was really good and the servers were very polite about everything so it was worth it.
lydell francis
The food was amazing! The service was great. And it is a very authentic Italian experience!
Michele La Tanza
Very Good and real Italian pizza in Nashville.
A taste of Italy in Teeneesee
Timothy Strobl
The quality of food and service has increased and is exceptional.
Devon Davis PA
Wonderful small Italian restaurant. Amazing food. Mussels are a must! Gnocchi perfection and all homemade. A 10+ in my Italian food book and I go to Italy often.
Nicholas Ferraz
Good Italian. Made well, and fresh. Personally would have expected a bit more flavor.
Alexis Conklin
We had Caleb for our party of 10. Caleb was awesome and we love the food!! 10/10 service and food!!
Abigail Hustad
Incredible! We met some friends here last weekend and had to go again this weekend because it was just that good. The pizza, pasta, and desserts are all insanely good and we loved our server both times. Authentic, fresh, and well portioned. 10/10, will be recommending to everyone we know and returning regularly :)
Matthew J
Great little place. Good pizza. Won't be able to see it very well from the road.
Michael Teicheira
The food looked great, and tasted pretty solid overall.
I think for the price it wasn’t anything particularly special, but it was a welcome meal after a long day.
If we could do it again, we wouldn’t have ordered the calamari, simply because it came out about five minutes after the pizzas did even though it was ordered as an appetizer.
The staff was very friendly.
Kyle Boyer
1 year ago today, I found myself in Nashville taking a trip with my other half and we love a good traditional wood fire oven pizza. We went to this place on a whim. Nestled in a little back alley we didn't know what to expect. We walk in around noon and we're the only people there. Naturally we got skeptical but once we got our pies... Well let's start off by saying I'm a self proclaimed pizza expert. This pizza blew me away. It was perfect. Light, yet flavorful. Just perfect. 10/10 pizza.
Joel Bailey
We were in Nashville for the day, Had no idea about dinner place. This looked good. We called( last minute) they were booked. We were told it might be 20 mins without reservation. It was about 15 maybe 20 . Francesco got us a table and apologized to us for the wait ( mind you , our fault not his) offered lemonciello . So personable and nice . Service people were so sweet , helpful . had great live music. Thank you for making our experience so lovely 😊
John Miller
My favorite Italian restaurant. Everything I've ever had here is fantastic. They have a short menu, which is a good thing-- they only put their best stuff out. Can't recommend this place enough!
Connor Harrison
I am shocked by the overwhelming praise for this place. I went with a party of six and we variously got pasta and pizza. My lasagna was pretty good but forgettable and that seems to have been the consenus among everyone I was with. I am not sure where good Italian is in Nashville but I find the current 4.6 rating of this place to be way too much relative to 4.5+ ratings on other restaurants.
Unrelated to the rating: Our server was friendly and attentive but felt like a used car salesman in terms of trying to hype up the food. He also couldn't tell us what kind of pasta was being served with the chicken parm ("could be spaghetti, could be penne") which makes me wonder about how the kitchen staff is organizationally disconnected from the wait staff. They also couldn't make any modifications to any of the meals because it was "a busy night”. If you're going to play it that way the food has to be exceptional. It wasn't. I suggest heading up to Germantown.
Dj Brown
Wonderful staff and food. Perfect meal. Highly recommend
Ethan Sanders
A local favorite! The pizza here is amazing! My wife and I like to come here for special occasions, although we shouldn't, we should come more often! We've tried probably half of the pizza's on the menu and have loved each one. The wine and beer lists aren't the most extensive, but what they do have is at least good. The deserts are great as well!
Chris Clarke
We visited Bella Napoli for the second time this past weekend. I really like this place. The location is charming - set back in a little cobblestone alleyway. We have never eaten outside, but the outdoor dining looks really cute. The inside is broken up into two rooms, and it reminds me of something you'd find in Europe. We had excellent meals - everyone enjoyed their selections - we had a variety of pizzas, pastas and meal dishes among the 5 of us. Our waiter, Spencer, was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the menu - especially given that he had only worked there for a short time. He also was nice enough to run out after us when my son left his hat in the restaurant. We definitely will visit again!
B Maiorino
Authentic pizza and spaghetti. The whole family loved the food, including the salads and homemade "croutons". You can taste the quality in the ingredients used which makes a huge difference in the sauces. The parking is tight but worth it. They have friendly service and are quick to get your order out, so even if they are busy I doubt you wait long for a table.
Philip Unsworth
Went on a Sunday early afternoon for lunch. All 3 of us had delicious meals. The pizza & pasta dishes were delicious, fresh, & authentic tasting. Not crowded, fast & friendly service!
Felicia Mings
I've heard the pizza is phenomenal, however, I opted for pasta on my visit and oh my goodness. It was so good. Highly recommend. Plus there is a great bar in the same alley. Can't go wrong here.
Marijel Melo
Ordered two pizzas and a salad. Overall, pretty good! Would've hoped that the toppings would've been roasted in the oven too (got the ham, peas, mushroom). They were cold. The dough though was fantastic! Knocked a couple stars because the host kept ignoring us in favor of chatting with friends. Looked like he was annoyed by customers needing help/picking up.
Terry Trigg
Atmosphere was great. Service was great. Food was average, but not special. I had a pizza and it was very heavy on the garlic side. Limited street parking, so you will most likely need to pay to park. Paid lot across the street.
Jordan W.
Why go to Italy when you can go to Bella Napoli here in Nashville? This is as authentic Italian as you can get here in the states. The ambiance is cozy and warm, the food is incredibly delicious and reasonably priced, and it's off the beaten path from the hustle and bustle. I recommend the fried calamari, Margherita or quattro formaggio pizza, lasagna or penne alla vodka, and you have to get the canolis! We went all out and it was worth every cent.
Jeffery Fizer
Happy Hour 4-6, $5 house wine. Caesar salad, Panni with homemade chips, gnocchi a la vodka excellent service little pricey.
M. A.
Service wear decent. The pizza was a little underwhelming, we got the special margherita, it fell apart trying to cut it or eat it and felt a little soggy/wet. The brioche appetizer was very dry on the edges it almost hurt trying to bite into it. Maybe will try a non pizza menu item next time. also its all street parking unless you want to pay 5 dollars for an hour or 9 for 3 hours for the pay to park in front of the restaurant
J. Ken Ward
Hidden gem near music row. This is a great italian restaurant with great food and ambiance.
Gaetano Team
Authentic Italian. Excellent pizza. Sauce has great flavor and the dough is unbelievable. The service is top notch and the ambiance is perfect. We’re we’re very happy.
Vian Izak
We've been going here for years. Authentic Italian family who moved here and opened a real Italian restaurant. They import many of their ingredients from Italy.
In my opinion this is one of the few solid restaurants in Nashville. And it's tucked away and typically frequented by locals. Amazing place.
Scott Saunders
This is a hidden jewel in Nashville with a very relaxed vibe and removed from the congested & crowded tourist areas. Date night here is a win! Wonderful food, service, and atmosphere. (If you ARE a tourist exploring the Music Row area - you're in walking distance to it!)
Kevin Ucles
Awesome Alfredo pizza and wings, Licy was very helpful.
Steve Campbell (Soup)
Best Italian meal I've had in Nashville. Angelo made us feel right at home...
Shooter Stein
Right now, it is a crazy world. This evening was such a great experience to have an incredible staff take care of me and my two girls. The food is always top notch and the service is spectacular. The vibe that the “back alley Italian restaurant ” gives off just makes it so much better than the typical stereotype place. Please come visit and experience a wonderful time.
J M
Sam the bartender was amazing ! What delicious food it was ! The service was outstanding and the food was so good. We ordered a chefs special pizza and a chicken parmegiano and they were delicious. Ate it all. 10/10 coming back because of Sam the bartender and the food.
Alex Knodel
Had a delicious meal at Bella Napoli! This magnificent place is tucked behind a row of other restaurants and shops - and truly is a hidden gem! The food was delicious and the ambiance was perfect for a low key night dining outside! Highly recommend the Parma pizza!!
Melissa Veitengruber
Their wood-fired pizza is amazing! I have been here twice now and I've had nothing but good experiences. The waiter was great and the bartender made delicious drinks. Our food came out in a timely manner and it was warm and delicious. I just moved to Nashville about 3 weeks ago and have already been twice. This will definitely be a regular dinner spot for me. I definitely recommend it!
Patricia Ameling
Excellent menu choices! Pizza crust is thin, light and airy just like the server described it. The caprese salad was very good and the presentation was beautiful. Prices are moderate for a place that adds little extras in the quality of the food, the ambiance of the dining room and the presentation on the plate. I would definitely eat here again. The service was great and we almost closed the dining room down with only 3 minutes to spare. The staff was courteous and friendly.
abbas khan
Nice place and wonderful food, great service and friendly staff. Great night with my family.
Mary Ahluwalia
We had a great experience! We sat outside (they have a great outdoor area), socially distanced. All the employees were wearing masks. The food was delicious, great bruschetta!! A shoutout to our waiter, Brandon! He was very attentive, knowledgeable, friendly. I highly recommend this place!!
Barry Shrum
Great local Italian bistro and pizzeria. Their crust is reminiscent of some of the joints in South Philly. The Margherita Pizza is excellent. My only regret is no raviolis! It tucked away down behind Taco Mamacita. Check it out, you won't regret it.
Nyerere Ellis
Exceptions space! Great pizza, worth the trip!!
Marrisa Christopherson
This place was absolutely magnificent we got an appetizer with eggplant in it you have to try it it was so good. But if you're going on the weekend make sure you have a reservation we were able to make it in a little early so we actually got a table when we walked in. I got the margarita pizza and my husband got the calzone. Really good atmosphere great for date night.
thom albrecht
Authentic Italian restaurant in an old industrial building with a great atmosphere. Everyone loved the pizza alhough I and a couple of others got lasagna and fettuccini, which were both delicious. The only negative is I would like to see more pizza and pasta selections which are each ~4 choices.
F sponseller
A wonderful Italian restaurant. I had a Campari Spritz with Spaghetti Pomodoro.
Love it.
And the servers and tend were great as well.
Julie Bachalis
One of the only consistently great Italian restaurants in Nashville, and one of just a few places in the region with real Italian pizza. Relaxed atmosphere, but cozy and romantic enough for a date and elevated enough for a nice dinner with family and friends. The owner and staff are lovely.
Tsuyoshi Ookura
Great place and taste!! Perfect!!
Barbery Cannon
The pizza was decent, definitely not the best I have experienced in Nashville. Toppings were really good but the crust left something to be desired for me. Overall a good meal, probably wouldn't have to go back.
Lia Brooks
The place is far back through a short alley walk. It is definitely a hole in the wall. The place was small. The kitchen had a brick oven in it that looked nice. The bathroom was clean. They seated me quickly as I had a reservation. I really enjoyed the bruschetta, it didn’t look like much but it was super flavorful and delicious. The spaghetti was like any other spaghetti I’d tasted. I liked that the noodles were a tad bit firm and not super soft or mushy. My sweet tea was okay. I enjoyed the flat bread, it was the perfect texture and was very nice. The waiter that served us did his job but wasn’t really nice or extra friendly. Overall, a pretty good place to get Italian but not the best place.

If i could double my star amount I would. Be sure to get the calamari which is the best in the city and the pizza is the best I've had in my life!!! If you got room for dessert get the tiramasu which is made in house and is five star!!! If you going on a weekend day make reservations.
Bob Pader
Great food freon Napoli. Great times with our Italian and German friends. This is authentic Italian pizza enjoy
Alli B
Very nice staff, accidentally left a review for another pizza place! This place was awesome and very helpful! :) I'll update on the deliciousness!
UPDATE: with ingredients as simple as a margherita it was PHENOMENAL. A perfect char, bitterness peon andthe crust making the sauce naturally sweeter, perfect chew on the crust, not overpowering, no need to add salt or any other accoutrements than the fresh basil added. I love this place!
Lisa Ramsey
Our first visit and it was wonderful! So awesome that Chef Massimo is there - he rocks! Ate pizzas and finished with Nutella😊 …
Vanessa Lowe
All I can say is WOW! We stumbled in late Sunday afternoon around 3pm and it was not busy. We ordered 3 pizzas and spaghetti for the kids. The pizzas are a "personal" size, but huge in my opinion. The crust is light airy and just perfection. Family owned and operated made with love and a passion for amazing food.

Very attentive service! I have tried many pizzas and I can confidently say that it’s the best wood fired pizza in North America. Crust has the perfect blend of crunch and moistness. Menu may seem limited if you are looking for a wide range of options.
Dan Shaeffer
Very Italian. Reminded of food we ate while visiting Italy.
Diego Gac
Pizza it's delicious but my Margherita pizza was missing some basil imo. Dough was great, and the tomato sauce was yummy as well. Thinner than other Napolitan pizzas, but still a well made pizza. Love the outdoor seating they have and the smell coming out from their restaurant is also amazing.
Don Williams
The food was great and the service very good... Anything from the kitchen other than pizza was very slow. This is true everywhere post covid however so I think a little understanding is in order. Great pizza special.
Sarah P
Best pizza in Nashville. The owners are the best. Quattro formaggio is so well done and the Caesar salad is exceptional. Worth the jaunt into the alley to find these guys.
Candice
Quaint place. Food is phenomenal. Sam was our server and he was fantastic. Definite go-to for Italian
Lori Fick
We were searching for a new pizza place and stumbled upon this on a Google search. We were so glad that we did because the entire experience was perfect. The vibe is amazing and the food was super delicious too! Wait staff were very friendly and accomadating to us and our two young children. All in all a great experience that we plan on doing again.
Margaret Burton
I fell in love with this place over a year ago, everything is absolutely delicious. Every single thing that I've tried is magnificent. Even down to the crust on the pizza, my absolute favorite is the tiramisu. I go at least once a month and pick up tiramisu because it's just so good.
Andrew Pratt
Angelo was amazing. The antipasto, chicken parm, penne vodka, and lemon cello were all top notch. Felt very welcome and look forward to returning!
Manuel Rubio
This place is fantastic. My wife and I went to Italy for our honeymoon last year and this is by far the closest we have found taste wise to the pizza there. The restaurant and service is wonderful as well. You do not get rushed like at most restaurants and can take your time.
Sean Lankford
Fantastic! Loved the Rigatoni and the pizza that even had broccoli on it! Atmosphere was cozy. The ONLY thing that would have made it better is having a non-alcoholic beer available. Definitely will return.
Stef Kipfer
We were driving through Nashville and Google took us to this restaurant so we didn't know what to expect. Everything was excellent...the food, the atmosphere and the service! If we lived around Nashville, it would be a regular for us
Joey
Awesome place to eat, I come by here often as a Postmates courier and they are full of friendly employees and always smile & willing to communicate with me by phone notes or paper & pen but not necessarily at all of time and because of my good experience at this spot... I definitely WILL recommend this place and bring my family (yeah all are deaf especially my sister) to there and eat there!!! This place awesome to Moon and back! Their food smell insanely good!!
David Sager
This place is tucked in a back alley way. If I had not been with friends I would not have found it. The atmosphere is nice, and it gives you a vibe for that Italian mob setting. Which made me want to talk like the Godfather 😂
The bruschetta is amazing. Mouthwatering, amazing. Especially with eggplant on it 👌 whoo! So delicious.
I hear the pasta and the pizza are killer too, but for my first time I went with the Turkey BLT and loved it. You should check it out!
Erin K
Best pizza in Nashville. We always get whatever the pizza special is that night. Salads, desserts, wine and coffee are nice as well. Haven’t tried the pasta yet but I hear only great things about it :)
Matt La Neve
The most authentic, and best, Italian food that you will find in Nashville. The owner and staff are all incredibly friendly as well. Easy 5/5 Stars.
Chef C.A.
BEST NEOPOLITAN PIZZA I'VE HAD! Every aspect of this pizza is authentic and perfect
Tim Sweeney
Pleasant surroundings. Affordable food and wine. Seems to specialize in pizza. Good staff.
Janice S
Margherita pizza: best pizza crust in town, but not thrilled by the toppings. Meh...
Andras M Marton
The food was good, and portions filling; however, no kids menu existed, and they charged $6.95 for plain, buttered noodles and $6.95 for a FEW pieces of dry, unflavored chicken. That's nearly $14 for far less than a full adult size meal at nearly the same price. Better Italian restaurants exist, especially at these prices.
Erin C.
A little on the pricy side, but the food was still very good. Pasta cooked perfectly, delicious sauces, and a classic small Italian restaurant vibe. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze since the restaurant is a small space. Still, they were able to accommodate our group of 7 (with a reservation) easily!
Chandler Ross
I was given a great recommendation to try this place and I wasn't disappointed. Pizza is cooked on a wood-fire oven which in my opinion is what takes it from good to great. I wouldn't have ordered it if someone hadn't previously told me to but the gnocchi was a SHOW STOPPER, holy guacamole it's good. Edgehill parking is a bear but they have a valet which is awesome.
Lauren McLaughlin
Great ambiance, great food. Gave 4 stars because the mixed drinks were meh. Will just get wine next time. Service was meh too. Will definitely be coming back for the food definitely top 3 Italian in Nashville
Robert Nash
Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service. Truly Italian cuisine. We will be back.
Erica Zippert
Love this spot for lunch! Never crowded and always good service. I have been on an eggplant parm panini kick there recently because I love my double carbs. The panini bread is so amazing and I like their sauce too. Prices are reasonable and it's good for medium size parties. Definitely recommend!
Kenneth Harding
Nice Italian restaurant. The food was great along with the service and hospitality. You'll be happy when you finish and still want more 👍👍👍
Erik Deckers
Every time I come to Nashville, I always make sure to stop by here. It's a great Italian place, but I'm a big fan of their wood-fired pizza. They serve it uncut so you have to cut it yourself. That way it stays warmer longer.
Anthony
The best of the best. You will not and let me repeat this YOU WILL NOT find a more authentic Italian restaurant then Bella Napoli. The best of the best. I’ve tried so many restaurants in the area and every time I tell myself I’m just going to go to Bella Napoli and that’s it.
Jacob Pawelczyk
One of the best pizzas I've had in Nashville. Everything was great, I look forward to returning!
Pete Schnabel
Travelled through Nashville on the way to Florida. Decided a pizza was the thing. An Italian sounding pizzeria. Let's take a chance. Boy, did we score. Thank God gor modern technology and Google maps! Add stop, find pizzeria, eat a fantastic meal, get back on interstate and continue in trip! Told fiancee that sometimes less is more. This pizzeria does it well! 5 stars!!
Holdyn Barder
Best pizza I’ve had in Nashville!
Ally Edwards
Amazing pizza! Delicious! Bustling little neighbourhood gem.
Matthew Heinz
Really enjoyed the food and service! The location and decor is really cool, which gives a nice atmosphere. I recommend lunch because the prices are lower. It falls somewhere in the middle between the fine dining and pizza shops that you normally think of for Italian food.
Properly Wound
Bella Napoli is a hidden gem! We found it a few years ago and it is one of our favorite date night spots.
Not fancy, and hidden in the Villa Place / Belmont area. Pizzas are incredible - as is their chicken parm, salads, and deserts -- the tiramisu and cannoli are must haves.
I suggest fasting 🤣 before coming. You will want antipasto, caprese, Caesar salad, pizza, chicken parm, two deserts and wine.
Just sit back and enjoy the cool ambiance - likely to see some college kids and other locals. Owner is always there and kitchen staff doesn't seem to have high turnover -- consistently perfect.
Not a huge wine list - but good enough. You can get a nice bottle priced very fairly. Bar is decently stocked - again not an overly fancy bar but adequate -- never had a bad drink, bad bottle of wine, or bad meal.
Best Italian fare in Nash.
Liz Turner
Visited and always try to find the local, off the touristy area establishments to dine. Very quaint and excellent food. Service was excellent as well... romantic atmosphere. Tad hard to find, but follow your GPS and look.for the sign. Definitely worth the search.
Ammi Embry
One of our favorite romantic dinners. Bella Napoli is amazing and is soy free.
Maria Medina
Everything from the food to the service was perfect. We are from Chicago and love our Italian food... this place exceeded all expectations (fettuccine and rigatoni- so good we considered taking an order home 😂). A must have every time we visit Nashville!!! …
Scott Bailey
We came from Gallatin and Bella Napoli Pizzeria met my expentations beyond 101%. They have real Italian food, something you won't find in "Greenwave Hick Gallatin"! My compliments to the Chef and Owner. Yeah, the prices are a bit high, but it's well worth the drive and paying more. Keep up the great work at Bella Napoil's, I'm half Italian, me and my wife will be back!
abel yp
One of my favorite Italian restaurants in the Nashville area. Best thing about this place is the portions. This is a picture of their calzone. Huge. I’m never able to finish this in one sitting. My only wish is that marinara added on the side came at no charge.
Kimberley O'Quinn
Crisp crust with a soft chewy center and baked in a wood fire oven - this pizza dough was just about perfect! We had several pizza variations along with the spaghetti al pomodoro, which was delicious. Tomato, garlic, and homemade pasta - simple and pure. Truthfully I could have made a meal out of the tomato sauce and pizza crusts. Sometimes the most simple of meals are the best. Plus the location is tucked away in a old brick building, making it a bit of an adventure finding it. Would definitely go back again.
Michael Tateo
BEST PIZZA IN NASHVILLE…best pizza anywhere! Don't put off coming here any longer, you won't regret it. They have a quaint outside seating area, perfect for summer nights. We had the margarita pizza and parma pizza, started off with salads--everything was delicious. Crust is perfect and sauce:cheese ratio is spot on. Had tiramisu for dessert-- amazing! Service was great.
Max Gunther
Super good. Small. Cozy. Artisan pizza. Definitely not a greasy pizza joint. I'm actually hesitant to write a review because it has been my favorite secret pizza place in Nashville for 10 years!
Mark Weidel
Superb lunch experience with family so we got to try a number of different pizzas, calzone & the fettuccine. Great deal at lunch with salad and pizza or pasta for $11.95. Homemade tiramisu and cannoli to finish. Very authentic and Matt our server was most helpful describing their offerings and very pleasant.
Lucinda Thomas
The atmosphere was nice for families, yet quaint and even a bit romantic for couples. The menu featured more authentic Italian recipes which was different for us. We were very pleased with the tastes and ambiance of this restaurant.
Crypto Kid
This wss an excellent choice great pizza. I am not Italian but my buddy is, he said it was very much like the pizza his grandmother makes. I recommend stopping in for a pie and salad and maybe a pint or glass of vino.
Jim Pepe
When you arrive at Bella Napoli Pizzeria, it's like taking a walk in a European courtyard. I love this place and it has become a weekly treat. The pizza is the way pizza is supposed to be, you simply cannot beat ingredients imported from Italy cooked to perfection in a wood fired brick oven. I am not aware of anything I don't love at Bella Napoli, pasta, appetizers etc. I am not a restaurant snob reviewer like others posting reviews here, and I don't have an agenda, I have been there many many times and there is a reason for that. Further anytime I get visitors from out of town, it's the only place I will take them, it's great to have this restaurant here in Nashville, like no other I have found elsewhere. My friend was bragging he found a great true Italian Pizza at the farmer's market and I asked if he'd been to Bella Napoli and he had not, so I told him to try Bella Napoli Pizzeria (since we'd both been to Italy and know what good pizza is) he confessed this is the best pizza in Nashville. I am a health snob and I feel good about the ingredients in this pizza, the best of the best and fresh too. You simply cannot beat this pizza, it's superior on many levels. I also love the Salsiccia & Mozzarella panini, delicious, now I'm hungry!
Sarah Maples
Delicious wood fired pizza! The best I have had since moving to the Nashville area. The service is fast and friendly and the Piloma I had during happy hour was wonderful.
Sue Alderman
Nashville. Pay parking across the street easy to access. This Italian restaurant is great. Hand tossed pizza, pasta dishes, good wines and adult beverages. Outside seating available. Pretend you're in Rome
Don Wiggz
Fabulous, great portions, amazing atmosphere, great service
Kayla Speer
Best Italian food I've ever had! The staff were also great. I can't wait to come back.
Debbie Michaelson
Just finished my first dinner at Bella Napoli. My Sorrentino pizza with added garlic was wonderful! My husband had pomodoro spaghetti and sauce was delicious. We shared a house salad which they graciously divided for us. Too much fabulous food to have dessert, will be back!
Alex Prt
This place is amazing!!! The food is delicious and the staff is super nice.....I'd pack them in my bag and relocate them if I could!!!
Kenna McConnell
Bella Napoli is a perfect neighborhood Italian place. It's become one of our favorite local spots, because you can have a quiet reasonable lunch as well as a wonderful intimate dinner. The atmosphere is rustic, homey, inviting, and fitting for any type of evening. And the food is just straight out of Italy, literally. Their ingredients are 90% imported from Italy and you can hear Italian being spoken through the open air kitchen. If they have a special pizza with the fresh truffle oil mozzarella ball....GET AT IT. The pasta is always a great choice, it's often finished in their wood fire oven to make the perfect crispity topping. This is the kind of place you stay and talk after your meal is over, because it is such a comfortable atmosphere. We're on our way back now...
Preslee Pope
Cute place with awesome margarita pizza. Tamara was our waitress and she was lovely too!
Tamara Morrone
Well as you can see by my last name I'm Italian and I'm pretty particular about my food so when I was told by a good friend that an Italian from New York came because he heard Tennessee was desperately in need of an authentic Italian restaurant and "He was it" well okay it was decent but it wasn't exactly Italian Mana from heaven. Since you asked I've got to say that I liked the ambience and it was a clean place, although women's bathroom was freezing cold. But here's something I noticed the most, the music was anything but Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin, in fact it was some weird wind instrument new age music. Thanks for recruiting my opinion, not sure I'd go back. It was not bellissimo!
Leah Broda
Fantastic!! We had a company retirement party. The planning was easy. The staff is so great to work with. The food was fantastic. Every single person at this party complimented the food and the place and the staff.
Josh Carpenter
Amazing food, atmosphere, and the server Rachel was a sweetheart. Will definitely be back.
Emerson
Always our favorite spot when we are in town! Never dissapoints. Solid pizza, great service, and relaxed atmosphere. We recommend the special with burrata cheese and a spritz. Bon appetit
Giuliana Atzori
This is the best Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant in Nashville! I am so glad to have finally found an Authentic Italian Restaurant! The owners and staff are awesome and the atmosphere is fabulous. I always feel at home, as if I were in Italy, when I am there!💗 …
Matthew Urbanic
True to Neapolitan style. You can really appreciate the artistry involved. Ingredients are superb. Service is excellent. Save room for the cannoli.
Lucas Hale
Great dinner with friends. Very authentic, we are ready to go back!
Erica Ciccarone
We go to Bella Napoli all the time and it is consistently delicious. I have never had a bad experience in my countless visits. They use San Marzano tomatoes, which are simply the best. I read a review on here complaining that the sauce was too tomatoey. Honestly, I don't know where this person eats. Bella Napoli's sauce is the absolute best I've tasted--and I'm from an Italian family of chefs. (Shh, don't tell them I said that!) My boyfriend always orders the Quattro Formaggi pizza and it's dynamite. Sure, it's more expensive than Pizza Perfect or other traditional American joints, but HELLO, the dough is from the family's mill in Italy, the sauce is made from the best tomatoes on earth, the buffalo mozzarella is also from Italy. Importing delicious ingredients isn't cheap.
We have always had a good experience with the waitstaff, as well. They're attentive and precise but unobtrusive. I was surprised to see that a few people have had bad experiences with the staff. Maybe these were just off nights? Don't know. It should go without saying by now that if you love Papa John's, keep ordering from Papa John's. This pizza is QUALITY, and it's different than you might expect.
Rick Lowe
Awesome pizzas! If you want authentic Napoli pizza, this is the place.
Jamie Juenemann
Food was really good. atmosphere was great. Our server (becca) was fantastic. She was really quick with recommendations and super friendly and fast. This place is definitely worth a visit.
Angelia Turk
My husband, son, and I eat here often. We lived in Italy for three years and I must say this is the closest I've seen in the U.S. to good Italian (not American) pizza. I've had their penne alla vodka and my husband has had their chicken parm and those were good as well. It also has a nice patio to sit in during the summer. I would definitely recommend it.
Brian Halma
Very good Neopolitan style pizza and pasta entrees, a creative menu - tiramasu was very good. The only disappointment was the calamari, which was bland.
Jelia Harmon
The food was beyond amazing! The alfredo sauce was THE BEST I've EVER had, everything is fresh made. Def a spot to eat at everytime I'm in Nashville
Sam
This place has a lot of good Italian food, margarita pizza, pasta, drinks, & such. But the workers come off as odd sometimes, other than that this is a good place to take the family to.
Steven Reints
We found this by accident on our last night in town. Pizza was great and the servers were so nice. They clearly are proud of their food.
Jeffrey Falvo
Excellent authentic Italian food, great service and a quaint location surounded by really cool shops. They are located in the Edge Hill area, off Music Row, 3 minutes from Belmont University and Vandi. The staff has always been friendly. I've been to Bella Napoli Pizzeria several times and have always had a great experience. Their authentic Neapolitan pizzas and pastas are always delicious. For some, it may be a little different not having pizza cut ahead of time, (unless you want them to) but with this kind of quality cheese, cutting the pizza one piece at a time savors the flavor of the cheese and keeps it from drying out, at least from what I know. I've had their, Tiramisu, Panna Cotta as well as the Nutella Pizza desserts and they are all very good. I will continue to take my wife, family and friends to Bella Napoli Pizzeria and highly recamend it to you. Give them a try if you live in or plan on visiting Nashville.
Ben Boyd
The food is consistently good. Pizzas are delightful, some of the best dough in town. There isn't anything flashy about the interior or the food, but then again it didn't need to be.
Casey mcclammy
The best margherita pizza ever!! Seriously, best pizza I’ve ever had in my life. Angelino was also a great server! Love love love
jtaylor4
I'd say it was probably some of the better pizza in the city, but the price was a little high imo. Comparable to desanos. Nice tang, high quality cheese, the dough was properly aged.
Rich Matlock
Here in Nashville visiting. We were told about Bella Napoli, and we we were not disappointed. The food was great as was the service. Brandon was our serving, he answered all our questions that we had. Overall, we a fantastic experience, and highly recommend Bella Napoli.
kyle sherman
Pretty good pizza. The center of the pie was a bit soggy. 2 glasses of wine, 2 pizzas, appetizer and 1 dessert was $100. Scenery was outstanding with beautiful women. Lol
Teus Kappen
Good flavours on the Marinara, delicate with anchovies and a good crust. Definitely one of the better pizza places in Nashville if you like the more Italian-style pizzas.
Shirley Ann Wellman
Loved everything about our experience here. Excellent service, amazing food (the spaghetti - holy cow), great drinks, really charming atmosphere. Definitely a new favorite spot for my crew!!
Dana Daconto
The best italian I've ever had. I could eat there everyday. Service was fantastic. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I recommend this place to anyone who wants authentic Italian food!!
G. Lamar Wilkie
Allow me to preface by saying that we lived in Napoli. For years. So we know "authentic" food when we taste it. Plus my Darling Bride was a chef... so we understand and appreciate good food. We began with Mussels Marinara, which were superb,. I opted for the Caprese Salad and was stunned to see three slices of un-ripened tomato and three slices of Mozzarella arrive, drizzled with Balsamic Vinaigrette! Folks, that is not a Caprese Salad. For the main course the Darling Bride had spaghetti with clams. I went off menu and the chef prepared Spaghetti Carbonara for me. Instead of steaming the clams in wine and lemon, they were presented in a rich, red tomato sauce that dd not look or taste like fresh tomatoes. My Carbonara was authentic enough, if not a little dry for my tastes.
For takeout we ordered a pizza, which WAS, in fact, great old world pizza. THIS is Napoli pizza, folks... except in Napoli the pizzas are not sliced. You cut the pizza as you eat it to prevent the crust from getting soggy.
The final surprise of the visit was the bill. We were in total sticker shock when, for two humble appetizers, two entrees, two beverages and a pizza to go, we were presented a bill nearing $100. I can understand that in New York, Los Angeles or maybe even Chicago... but NASHVILLE? Just know that if you're going to indulge Italian style (which means a lot of food), it's gonna cost you! Service was satisfactory, although it wasn't very busy when we were there. The server was friendly, cordial and knowledgeable about the menu. No complaints.
You really can't go wrong with authentic Neopolitan pizza, and these guys got it right. Everything else? It's a loose translation of "authentic" Napoli cuisine, at best.
Kathy Lattanzi
Best Italian place! Owners are from Italy and their cooking proves it. Out of the way, cozy and the ambience makes you feel you are in Napoli enjoying a nice dish. Go!! Mangia!!
Alonzo Maldonado
The pizza was so tasty, so was the cheesecake! Very cute place to visit at night. Service was great. Wife loved it.
Beth Harris
I've been here a few times and each time has been great! I love that they do the live music outside in the nice weather. Their mojitos were great! (little pricey for a mojito, but delicious).
David DeNicolais
This place is a must visit for anyone in the area. I own a Pizzeria myself and I strive to be as great as they are. Their wood fire oven does such a terrific job. Their ingredients are the best.
mangia e sii felice!
Jennifer Warner
Best Italian restaurant in Nashville! Authentic Napoleon fare from chefs Massimo and Paolo in historic Edgehill. Service is prompt from knowledgeable servers.
Immi Khan
Fun place. Small and noisy, but I guess that's enjoyable in a way. Decent food and prices.
Sweet Chicken
Our server mentioned a certain pizza for one of their specials and I'm so glad I went with it. If only I could remember what it was called lol. Cute place, great service.
Fortunato Mugnano
Excellent food and very nice atmosphere for an authentic Italian experience in the middle of Nashville. Food comes out fast and the service is impeccable, the outside patio is very unique, the best Italian restaurant in Nashville , said by an Italian
Chris Giese
Probably the best "authentic" Italian in Nashville. Very fresh ingredients, and awesome Pizzas.
It's tucked away in a corner, and not visible from the street, so look for the signs.
Ipbunpak One (Ipbunpak1)
Mamma mia, I LOVE this pizzeria! Instantly my 2nd favorite restaurant. I would eat here again, if I lived somewhere near there.
Timothy Roller
The atmosphere is quiet and pleasant...of the several dishes we experienced, all were very tasty and brimming with authenticity...this is not "Pizza Hut" Italian...try it, you'll like it...we found Bella Napolitano by Google search and chose it randomly...lucky us...visiting Nashville for the first time, from ohio.
Paul Russell
Great food, great atmosphere. The place is kid friendly but also nice for a casual date. On the weekends, live music makes the patio hard to beat!
David Allison
We had a great experience here. Wonderful service and amazing pizzas. Very cozy place. Highly recommend!
Hannah Glover
Incredible pizza. Incredible staff. This is actually a restaurant in Nashville where you can have truly wonderful food and beverage and not break the bank. Bravo!
Jason Ausbrooks
My wife an I love Bella!! Great food, atmosphere, and an extremely good staff. We've been going for dinner, at least two nights a week for a couple years now. Great place.
Devin Crotzer
Have been several times and had several dishes. The place was full so we placed a take-out order. It was ready within minutes and as always it was delicious.
Rivrhuntr
Not a bad pizza, would have been better if the center wasn't soggy. Needed a fork or spoon. Nice ambiance. Will order something different next time. Not my kind of pizza.
Mirco P
One of the best pizza I have ever eaten!
Fabio Peres Rebelatto
This was a great surprise. Their pizza was awesome and the croquetes were amazing.
Top level service too. I definetly recommend Bella Napoli!
Well done guys!
krishan duhan
I had a billing issue. It was resolved gracefully by the owner. and the food was good.
Hamilton Gayden
Fun spot for a large group. Interesting and unusual.menu. Refurbished restaurant on the site of what was a huge laundry site when I grew up, I can only imagine how much work went into making this restaurant-ready!
mikeparshall
Bella Napoli is by far the best Real Italian pizzeria in Nashville . And not just pizza the pasta is unbelievable. great atmosphere , music..... love it !!
Roy Mathew
Great food, freshly made & awesome service. Had the wings, brisket, & a few other items. Alcohol is available at a separate bar on premises.
Joshua Gutzmann
Pizza is very good and worth a try. Atmosphere is quite relaxing. However, the prices are quite high compared to other restaurants around.
Wendy Jones
Great food. Wonderful atmosphere. The place was packed on a Saturday but we were able to sit at the bar and get served immediately.
20xclean
The best pizza in Nashville. Every dish is fresh and delicious. We love it and eat here as often as we can.
RASJ Intellithink
We’re from Rome and it was difficult to find a decent pizzeria in the area. Bella Napoli is Italian owned and operated. Most servers and chefs are from Naples. Tartuffo e funghi, need I say more?
David Brooks
Amazing. Best neapolitan style pizza I've had in years... possibly ever. Perfect char, perfect balance, everything as it should be. Will becoming back for sure.
Matt Voget
Very fun atmosphere; plenty of seating in an outside alley with live music. The pizzas were delicious and not too pricey
Michelle Cecci
I was raised in a family of Northern “pizza snobs” and HOLY CANNOLI, this pizza is amazing. My favorite in Nashville by far.
Rachel Hopp
Awesome hole in the wall place, by far best traditional Italian in Nash. You will dream about the penne alla vodka!
Mason Clark
The calzone pizza was heavenly, the service was friendly and fast, and I left full and happy. Kind of tucked away, but once you find it, you’ll be glad you did. I WILL be back!! :)
Jared Ong
Pizza was fantastic. Reminds me of my time in Naples
C. Frisbie
The food was very good, staff was great!
Will Ward
Food always hits right, & they usually have gnocchi on the menu too.
Kim Smith
We ordered 2 pizzas and even though they don't have all of the traditional toppings I will say what we did order was absolutely delicious!
Donald Hawkins
Great pizzas and pasta dishes. Katy gave us outstanding service.
Zach Jolley
Fantastic authentic Italian pizza. Service was great and food was delicious!
Dom Alleva
Veggie pizza, salad, two glasses of wine. Very good food, a little expensive. Probably won't eat outside again. Problems with flies.
David Willis (Ravenflight)
Great pizza in a nice out-of-the-way spot.
Stephan Britt
What a great place!! Very quaint atmosphere with either inside or outside seating. Friendly staff and crazy fast service... we will be back!
Glenn Beckwith
Best Pizza EVER. This place has ruined me for any other type of pizza or pizza place. Neapolitan all the way. Go hungry, leave happy.
Jennifer Stowe
this place is legit! the pizza is amazing and tastes like new york! they've got a decent lunch special, too.
Ryan McDaniel
Good food and good service:)
Daniel Zewde
We go here anytime we’re in the mood for fresh pizza. They use the best tomatoes we’ve ever had, and we’ve both been to itsly
Al Moss
fabulous, reasonably priced, independently owned Italian restaurants. You'd be hard pressed to find better food in this not very visible to the street restaurant. You have to be looking for it to find it.
Tony Botros
Pizza is outstanding and service is reasonable. The cheese pizza was as simple and pure with incredibly high quality cheeses. A bit pricey, but this is a high quality pizza.
zach hoyt
fire baked pizza. has an original taste. I'd recommend if visiting Nashville
Julia Gustafson
Surprisingly good pizza! We needed a quick meal and were impressed by the spread and quality.
Linda Alila
Friendly service, amazing pizza, incredible hospitality.
Michael Papp
This is the best Authentic Italian restaurant. Great Service, Great Food, Great price.

Amazing food experience, comparable to european style food. Great service.
Thank you Angelo!
Dannielle Taylor
Best pizza in nashville. If you are looking for authentic Italian wood fired pizza, this is your place.and the calamari is to die for!!!
Scot Cianci
Wow what a calzone! Meatballs and pomodoro spaghetti were a treat for my little one! Recommended! Fire cooked pizza for a perfect crust!
Joe Lehman
Love this place!!! The pizza is fantastic!! They have done a very good job making pizza like I had in Naples.
Steve Young
Incredible, stone oven pizza. Great staff. Been there 5 or 6 times. Always good!
Brandon Haney
Service was really good. Staff were friendly. Pizzas are small and expensive but they taste good.
Rick S
The service was excellent along with the appetizer and pizza's.
Amy Williford
Excellent Italian, and the service & hospitality from the staff is beyond amazing!!
My new favorite place ❤️
mike moberg
bellissimo! this is a great place to get an authentic Italian pie. The Parma pizza with Proscuitto was amazing! nice selection of wine too :)
Chris Morgan
Went with a large group. We had a reservation and actually got seated as soon as we walked in the door. The food was great along with the service.
Gray S
best Italian food and service in Nashville, period.
John Fentress
Really great dough, and a flavor that only an authentic fire oven can give. Really delicious calzone!
Charles McDonald
Great traditional pie. Highly recommend you stick this in your face-hole. Delicious 😋 …
John Wetzel
Love sitting outside in their courtyard enjoying wine and great pizza here.
Stephanie Martin
