What reviewers say about Bucci's J Bella
People say this Italian restaurant serves delicious chicken parmesan, lasagna, and cavatelli with meatballs. They highlight the generous portions, fair prices, and romantic atmosphere. They also like the friendly staff and attentive service.
“Hands down the best Chicken Parmesan I’ve ever had! We’ve ordered catering here twice but this was my first time eating at the restaurant. Our server was incredible! They bring you out fresh bread and garlic butter, I must say I’m addicted to their garlic butter. The entree comes with a salad, all house dressings, which are amazing! The salad is a nice size with marinated tomato’s, such a delicious detail! I love their house made Italian dressing! I ordered the chicken parm and it comes with two nice size Chicken Parmesan and a side of penne. It’s breaded perfectly and the thickness is thin so it’s not too big and dry or a piece, made to perfection! The sauce is also great, not too acidic or sweet, but with the perfect amount of flavor, perfectly traditional. Their prices are not bad either! I’m thinking of going there for my birthday next! Hoping to take some photos next time! Wasnt able to take any due to me scarfing my food down so fast as soon as it touched the table! 10/10!”
“My boyfriend and I went here for Valentine’s Day and it was fantastic! Our server recommended the cavatelli and it was incredible. Great food with friendly staff!”
“What a wonderful Italian restaurant to have in our area. Went with another couple on a very snowy Sunday and the restaurant was full. I had the prime rib dinner. It was one of their weekend specials. It is one of the best tasting prime rib dinners that I have had. For $35 it came with salad, delicious ciabatta bread with regular and garlic butter, mashed potatoes and green beans. I would have preferred a baked potato but forgot to ask if they would substitute it. My husband had the lasagna. He said it was delicious and filling. He took a third of it home and had it the following day. Our one friend had the spaghetti and meatballs which he devoured and the other had the garlic shrimp bella appetizer for her dinner. It came with quite a few nice sized shrimp over angel hair pasta. She also could not finish it and took some home. Our server was awesome and the evening was enjoyable. Highly recommended and make reservations if you are able to.”
