Under the guidance of his Italian-native mother, and heavily influenced by his travels throughout Italy, Jake Imperiale opened Bella Napoli in 2001 to meet Kansas City's need for authentic Italian food, wine and market goods. Jake hand selects each product for Bella's deli and market and every item is imported from Italy. Wander across the room and you'll be immersed in an atmosphere as authentically Italian as it gets. An integral element of Bella Napoli, the pizzeria offers a variety of traditional Italian dishes.

At Bella Napoli, the ambiance of a true Italian ristorante, classic Italian recipes, warm friendly service and a renowned wine list culminate in an Italian dining experience you're sure to fall in love with.

Great local Italian food. Monday is their pizza night. Great value, gourmet pizza. Can't beat that combination. My favorite date night is Tuesday, wine bottle night. Their Carbonara is the best I have ever had.

We love Bella Napoli and their authentic Italian cuisine. We visit a few times a year. It’s a true hidden gem. We wish they would bring back the cacio e pepe though.

Our party of 6 had a wonderful time, the food was delicious and the service was outstanding. I asked for our party to be seated a bit out of the way, if possible, so we weren't in the middle of people traffic. They were very obliging and set us up in a great nook.

Don't come here, service was terrible, place has a terrible smell, outside seating is loud from cars and tables were not clean nor what you would expect from a restaurant so highly rated as they are old run down lawn furniture. So many better Italian restaurants in town, with outstanding service and true Italian food. This place is below sub-par. The server should never be allowed to serve food again, he had no manners, did not go over anything, was gone for long periods with no check ins, we asked for more bread and never came, didn't even bring the food out, brought check without us asking, to say his service was sub-par is giving him high praise it was that bad. Food was lacking in every way, no soul to the food and just nothing that would ever bring me back or suggest it to anyone. I don't think I would suggest this to someone I don't like because I felt terrible about sending them here it was that bad. I just hope people read recent reviews if they are in KC and avoid this place if they are in our town because it is bad. Everything deserves Zero Stars it was that bad.

The food was very good, authentic Italian - no fettucine alfredo or chicken parm here. Service was outstanding. The selection of wines - all Italian - was excellent. We skipped dessert, but they sounded great. It's a small space and can get noisy, but that's the way it is in Rome. We were just there, and the traditional dishes, like the arancini (suppli in Rome) and the tagliatelle alla bolognese, were exactly as you'd find in Rome. Go; you won't be disappointed.

Our server Erika was delightful and attentive even though it was a very busy Friday night. We couldnt get reservations for outside, but put a note in that if one opened, we would prefer that. When we arrived, the Manager saw our note and made an extra effort so we could be seated outside. The Lemoncello Martini was luscious. the Arincini were perfect. All 4 of us had different pasta dishes and all of us were very happy. The cherry gelato was a perfect dolce.

It was our first time eating here. This restaurant definitely reminded us of our trip to Italy. The food was very good and so was the service. The portions are just right and they use simple ingredients to make their food, so for pasta it doesn't weight you down, just like the real food in Italy. Will enjoy returning to try another dish soon!

It was our first time here. It is not easy to find. It isa a neighborhood gem. The food was very good. The salads large and the pasta authentically Italian. It was a disappointment that they were out of two items which we ordered. Tuesady is 50% off a bottle of wine night. Good value.

First visit. Menu looks like a wish list of what I'd like to eat on any evening. Server was spectacular. It's a neighborhood bistro in an area that's increasingly walkable. We went for an early dinner and couples with young kids were there. Even the kids were (relatively) well behaved! Friendly place to have a pleasant meal. Looking forward to cooler weather to eat outside. We'll be back.
