My family moved to Raleigh last fall and we have enjoyed Bella Monica from day one. A friend recommended the restaurant and was jealous that we had moved to a neighborhood within walking distance! From the first time we walked in their front door, we were hooked. The hosts are always friendly and accommodating. Our waitress ""Moment"" was so lovely to our family and always remembers my sons' drink orders! She's incredible! We've been back several times and have also ordered takeout and have never been disappointed. My husband is a bit of a wine snob and has been impressed with the selection offered. I usually don't write reviews but I was compelled to write one yesterday after having a poor experience at another restaurant, so I needed to balance it with a positive one for Bella Monica. I do recommend making reservations even for a small lunch party as the place fills up quickly.
Pros: Great food and customer service
Cons: Fills up fast
