4.4 / 5.0(200 reviews)
Italian oasis in Shanghai! Italian manager, Italian patrons, authentic Italian cuisine. Spaghetti Puttanesca is one of my guilty pleasures - easy to make, but surprisingly few restaurants do it justice. At Bella Napoli, it was perfect, and the pasta was al dente as it should. The veal saltimbocca was delicious - loved the white wine sauce. I normally don't eat dessert but had to try their Sicilian Cannoli - I am glad that I did! If you are after authentic Italian fare in Shanghai, this is the place for you. Dianping ratings were pretty high and my expectations were raised the moment I stepped into the restaurant, seeing the whole European vibes in the decor and the wood-fired oven. I'm glad the food quality met my expectations. The Calamari was crisp and not oily, cooked to perfection. Ordered their Cantina Pizza, generously topped with rocket leaves, Parma Ham and cherry tomatoes. Perfect chewy crusty edge, cheese pull, thin base, it checked off all I expect and love of a pizza. Their pizzas come in a standard 12 inch size which I ended up having to pack half of it home. My most expensive alone-meal thus far but it was well worth the calories. Quite surprised by the lack luster of the dishes that I ordered. (Napoli Salad, Salmon with Capers & Lasagna) I was really expecting much more flavor, considering it's a well known restaurant. The capers that were paired with the salmon weren't fresh. The salad was bland and it tasted like the used canned green beans. Overall, the presentation was pleasant to some extent. Great customer service! However, I won't be returning or recommending.
