Came here for a girls night. I literally live 2 mins away from here for the last 5yrs and never got to come here till tonight..
Just an FYI - we came here in a Wednesday around 6pm and it was ridiculously packed!!! Grace, who works at the front advised us to come after 7 so there is no wait time.
One you walk in you are greeted kindly. The main area is a bit small so be prepared to stand. We waited for about 20 mins before getting seated. Solo Bella had an extensive menu. So, instead of going through it. We decided to take on the special which a 3 course dinner for 15 bucks! First off , you are served bread with olive oil - this was great and I love the addition of chopped olives in the oil! I order the salad, chicken parm, and cannoli. Our waitress was nice and got our orders to us fast. I wish she took our previous dishes away before serving us our different courses. I also wish she refilled our waters instead of us having to ask.
As for our food, the salad tasted great, and fresh. The chicken parm was very good! The sauce had a lot of flavor and the chicken was cheesy and juicy! The cannoli was nice and crispy, and it tasted fresh. It wasn' t too sweet either, which I appreciate. Solo Bella is BYOB, we totally forgot to bring our own bottle! Also, bring cash! I think you can use a card but they charge extra when you use a card.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Oct 5, 2023
After our visit to Six Flags Safari we stopped by Solo Bella for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. Friendly staff, delicious food, great ambiance and reasonable prices. I had the Penne a la vodka and my wife had the chicken Parmesan with spaghetti. They were both delicious and we had to take some home because the portions are big. They serve a complimentary garlic break with olive paste which is also delicious. Luckily we skipped the appetizers! I will definitely be back!

I have been coming here for years. It is by far the best restaurant in town, in my opinion. The Sicilian calamari special blows my socks off every-time! The nice salad is amazing. My boyfriend and I are obsessed with the shrimp parm a la vodka with peas and pancetta. Best vodka sauce I have ever had. Service is always great! Micheal is always fantastic! Very nice and cozy restaurant BYOB!!

Perfect 5 Star Eatery ..Food was excellent..Great Service..Fair Prices....We started with the House Salad which was enough for 3 or 4...I had the Shrimp Francese it was wonderful and enough to take home for another next day meal..for desert the Tortufo was top notch..to top it off an excellent cappuccino.
We'll definitely be back.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 6, 2023
Still questioning how this place only has 3.5 stars when it's a 5/5 all across the board. If I could give it more stars I would. This restaurant is worthy of being GOD'S FOOD. Let's start with the freshest bread you will ever have in your life - I'm talking about bread that is so piping hot that it will hurt your fingers when you touch it (and that's in a good way). The olive oil is immersed with olives giving it a unique touch. The spinach artichoke dip is the freshest I've ever had - so light not like others; I could literally eat this dip alone as a main course. For the main course we had vodka pizza with extra basil and eggplant rolatini with penne vodka pasta as a side. If you haven't gotten the gist of my post at this point idk guys - bottom line the food is amazing. The ambiance is homely and loving and the service is phenomenal. They always check in on you to ask you if you need anything. The only thing is that the food does take a little bit of time to come out, but honestly I would wait for hours for this food. Just BYOB and ENJOY. If you don't come here you are MISSING OUT.

I haven't been to this restaurant in 10+ years and was craving Italian, so I decided to order in. It did not disappoint!! I ordered the chicken parmesan and it was very flavorful and well balanced. Food was as good as I remembered!! As I ate my meal, I was watching my favorite movie, and did not want to be interrupted to get up for salt and pepper. To my surprise, everything was well seasoned and didn't need anything extra! Not even parmesan cheese! You can really taste the tomato flavor in their sauce and all of the extra ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Portions are large, and you get more than your money's worth. I really enjoyed ordering from here. I cannot speak to their dine-in experience as of late, but in terms of their food, and flavor quality, I can say it was very good.

So we visited Solo Bella for much needed dinner date.
I been coming to this location for many years and you must know 2 things about this place.
It's very loud.
There are a lot of big parties.
Make sure if you are just 2 or 3 people to make a reservation.
I always enjoy the fresh bread with oil.
We ordered there special salad. I love the saltiness to the dressing.
Our main meals came from the specials. These specials seem to be the same ones from months ago because I ordered the same thing.
The steak comes with thick bacon, mushrooms and a barbecue sauce.
I asked for medium rare and when I cut in the thickest part, white lines in the steak. So rare.
They had to take it back and when I cut it again, it was perfect.
The flavor and the taste is very good. I enjoy the meal.
My wife's meal was a lobster bisque sauce with seafood and pasta. She enjoyed it and having a soup as a sauce is a nice idea.
Overall, I enjoyed Solo Bella but it's not a location I will go to every month.
If you want the pizza, just order out.
Try to request the small room for a small party.
Also, order your steak medium. I was that upset over it. I should just play it safe.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 1 - Melissa V.Anaheim, CA02Feb 24, 2024
What happened to customer service? Had dinner reservations at Solo Bella Brick Oven Pizza at 6:30. By 7:10 we are still waiting and find out that they sat another table ahead of us with the same name who had reservations after us. No apologies no nothing. We get told that it's no big deal, there are a lot of tables that are getting up so we will be seated shortly. We don't say anything and the hostess(the older lady) then proceeds to say to us that we should be thanking her. Thanking her??? For what?? Her snotty attitude? Good customer service goes a long way and this place definitely is lacking in this department. I will say the food was very good but will not be back.

The food and service is great but the acoustics is awful. The noise level in the main area when it's full is really loud and made it a really bad experience. We went on a Thursday at 1PM. I'll go back but next time I'll go earlier in hopes that it won't be so loud for lunch. Maybe they can install padded walls like they do in music rooms or something similar to help muffle the noise level. It really created a horrible ambiance.

This restaurant is the best, I always come here with my girlfriend and the food is fantastic. The shrimp parm with vodka sauce is my favorite. The service is always great here and the servers are very attentive.
