Bella Italia Ristorante - Italian restaurant in Dodge City - 312 W Wyatt Earp Blvd, USA

The calzones are huge! We had the chicken Alfredo, spaghetti and meatballs and a pepperoni calzone. The spaghetti tastes like it has wine in the sauce. Everything was delicious. The only thing missing is a salad before your meal.

Hidden gem in Dodge City. Was definitely not expecting such a great meal but as you can see my husband and I devoured our food. Yes there is construction in front of the building and yes the decor could be updated BUT if the food is this good I wouldn't care if they served it out of a food truck or a basement. The food was served quickly and the portions were generous. The flavors were great, the seasonings were not overpowering, and the sauce consistency was perfect. The meatballs and sausage were tender, moist, and flavorful. Highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.

I will start of by saying the service was good and attentive. We had the Chicken Alfredo, Chicken Carbinara and the Stephanie all with Ceasar Salads and breadsticks. I could handle the poor tasting and microwaved food better had the restaurant at least been clean, however the table cloths and placemats were not changed, just dusted off. You could see the sauce of who knows how many diners prior to your visit. The oil and vinegar bottles were filthy, however the dishes the food was served on appeared clean. Speaking of food-- the Carbonara was unedible, the Chicken in all dishes tasted microwaved, the Stephanie was supposed to be a "baked" pasta, pretty sure it was microwaved, the cheese had not been browned. The breadsticks hard, dry, old and tasteless, the salads were only iceburg Lettuce with a ton of dressing and a weird amount of water set in the bottom of the salad bowl. I could tell when I walked in that no one in the restaurant was enjoying themselves and I should've left, but I was craving pasta. I would have been better off ordering pasta from Domino's.

Another hole in the wall restaurant that we decided to give a try. Let me tell you....I WANTED MORE!! This city is lucky to have a place this good! Don't let the construction going on out front stop you from giving it a try if you haven't. The waitress was great too! Very kind and patient with me and my husband as we make decisions on food very slowly. But boy the food was totally awesome!! Hope to come back here soon!

Great food! Great service! My wife and I split a calzone, and our child had a peperoni pizza from the kid's menu. Our waiter brought bread and marinara sauce as a complementary appetizer. Our waiter was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. 5-Stars, for sure! Highly recommended!

Honestly wow. I don’t know how people can actually eat at this restaurant. This was probably the worst Italian food I’ve ever tried in my life. To start off, I had to get 3 different sets of silverware because the first two sets still had food residue on it. The salad was the only edible thing. Everything including the breadsticks was FLAVORLESS, the calamari was chewy and grisly, the pastas tasted cheap and I absolutely agree with those who said the food tasted like it was microwaved. The chicken on my ravioli was horrible, it tasted like it had been reheated multiple times. Not to mention finding a hair in my food. Usually I would call management to sort out the small stuff such as the hair and silverware, but the food quality was so bad that there’s no point. If your food is that bad, then fixing small cleanliness issues still wouldn’t help the restaurant.

My husband and I were the only people there because it was Thanksgiving day. Our "server" got our drinks and brought our food out, but that was all she did! She didn't check on us after we started, we had to ask if bread was available. She brought us 4 breadsticks, which were cool and tough to chew. We both ordered the spaghetti with marinara & meatballs. The plates came out and there was water puddled in the corners of the plates. The pasta was overcooked and had a mushy texture. The sauce & meatballs were "okay" at best, but left a funky after-taste. Overall, the food sat very heavy with both of us and neither of us enjoyed the visit.

Loved everything about this small restaurant. The food was excellent and the service was great. Pricing was fine for the great experience. There was soft Italian music playing, not super loud just softly. It was good. I'd say don't leave Dodge City without dining at the Bella Italia.
