Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
La Bella's is a beloved spot for family celebrations, known for its "great food" and lively atmosphere. Guests rave about the "amazing" service, especially during special occasions. While some have noted reservation hiccups, the restaurant's "tasty" pizzas and classic Italian charm make it a cherished Chula Vista institution.

    It wasn’t the location I had reserved for my business party. The tables we were initially seated was in a corner separated where we couldn’t all interact and see eachother. The service was okay could’ve been more attentive. The food was really good though no complaints. I wouldn’t have another business gathering/party here though.

    I made tge reservation expecting that my party was going to be sitting together. When I got there they gave me 2 separate tables. It was like having a party in two separate rooms. Then they were very rude pushing us to leave by cleaning the table when we were still sitting. They ask us to step out.

    Chula Vista institution. Best of the "Mom and Pop" original family Italian restaurants. Consistently great food, service and value. Having eaten here since the early sixties as a toddler, this was our last time before we move to Florida. You will be missed!!

    I called to reserve the table I did not get what we agreed on they gave me another table that was away from the game area which I needed to watch all the kids I invited for my party . I was also told I would have it for 4 hours and was told to move after 2in a half hours.. I asked to speak with the manager he was no help and did not care . Did not help and did not care rudest manager I've ever met. I was very unhappy with the service there wrong information for my sons birthday party !!

    The appetizer platter is great as a starter for a big group or family, the portions are just right and there’s a good variety of everything. Papas favorite is also my favorite!
