Review content:
After all these years I finally went to Bellas. What a mistake. If this is Italian food I have no idea where they got their recipes from. The chopped salad was boring,the dressing had no taste and I could have made it at home in my sleep. Chicken piccata was one chicken breats cut in 1/2 with no garnish on the plate and a small monkey dish of steamed brocolli with nothing on it for like $16.99. The menu online says 2 chicken breasts and if that was 2 then the chicken must have been starved. The mussels were good nice and big with a very good broth and that was the best thing. We also had Chicken Parmigiana. It was the most unispired Parm I've ever seen or tasted. The marinara was right out of a tomato can.Big chuncks with no seasoning. The presentation was horrible. The calamari was ok but we did use the broth from the mussels to dip in becasue the marinara was so disgusting. The pasta figioli was uninspired.\r

So out of 6 items only the appetizers were tolerable. I was surprised though that on a Thursday night with a restaurant recession going on that they did have a pretty decent crowd. I love Italian restaurants especially red sauce restaurants but this one really doesn't make it. If it was my place I'd fire the chef and get one that know's a few basics about Italian food. The waiter was fine the food was not.\r

I'd much rater go to (cough) Maggiones, which is a chain, and I hate chains but they at least they know how to make a basic marinara and a good chopped salad. Really disappointing that we can't have a good local Italian restaurant here in Tampa especially since we have so many Italians!!\r

Pros: The place is actually nice inside
Cons: the food is disgusting, how hard is it to make a good marinara?
