Review content:
Let me start off by saying that the place looks great on the outside. Even the inside is dressed to impress. The food looked good on the plate, but looks can be deceiving. I had Chicken Marsala, which I know, isn't ultra impressive, but I'm somewhat of a snob when it comes to Chicken Marsala. The Marsala 'demi-glaze' was weak, there were a few piceces of 'wild mushrooms' and some waxy potatoes. I've had better wedding reception renditions of Chicken Marsala. Many places to a much better job. One comes to mind - Trattoria da Vinci on Sibley St in St. Paul (prices are actually better). \r
\r
The other thing I was amazed about was the fact that there were items on the menu that were upwards of $40-45. Just ate at Muffaletta's last weekend (Como Ave in St. Paul). Again, prices are comparable, but a place like Muffaletta's and bella are not even close to the same category. \r
The service was so-so... the server forgot our drinks. They also had a salad (that my wife tried), that was comparable to 'The Salad' at the Vineyard in Anoka - which is not a good thing in my opinion. For the prices on the menu, you'd expect a little more class... torn menus, and generally loud atmosphere just didn't cut it for me.\r
\r
I will say this - I know everyone has a bad day - sometimes things just don't turn out. So maybe I can give them a pass - but here's one final thought: They have a HUGE menu. I feel that the more you have on your menu, the harder it is to prepare everything with excellence. While my meal itself wasn't terrible in the dollar amount category, the grill items that the rest ot the party had were much more expensive and no one is talking about it afterwards - which is usually a bad sign.
Pros: Ambience is pretty cool - I'll bet the patio outside is great in the summer.
Cons: Prices, service, average food.
