This is the best Italian food I ever had. Authentic and family owned. Francesco was our waiter and he was great and was helpful on my wine choice. I love every single meal, and with no hesitation just come and you will get it! I’m from Boston just visiting Sarasota and I’m amazed. Great atmosphere, staff is friendly and the food is from heaven.

Good food, great service(Arturo!). Only had pizza but pizza was pretty remarkable. Menu says flour is imported from Italy, and have to say only time I’ve had crust like that is in Italy

Genuine Italian experience with great food and even better service from a few of the Italian servers and employees in the restaurant. You can't go wrong with any dish. I had the focaccia (great taste though half of it was burnt), lasagna and gnocchi tiramisu at the end. I totally recommend this establishment for a more authentic Italian experience. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Reservations are recommended after 6pm.

**"An Authentic Italian Delight!"** Dining at Trattoria Bella Napoli was a truly magical experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for the evening. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food? Absolutely divine. Every dish we ordered was a masterpiece. The eggplant parmigiana reminded me of my sister’s mother in law homemade one. The pizza was to die for. Perfectly made, that transported us straight to Italy. The perfect balance of fresh ingredients and crisp, wood-fired crust. I can’t wait to go back for lunch to try what the owner calls, the Pizza sandwich. The espresso, just right. Too late for dessert but can’t wait to go back for one of the delicious selections they offer. If you’re looking for a spot to celebrate, impress a date, or simply indulge in outstanding cuisine, this is it. I can’t wait to return and try more of the menu. Bravo to the team at Trattoria Bella Napoli!

The food and service here was amazing!! We were visiting from out of town and decided to try this restaurant due to the large amount of positive google reviews. We ordered two pasta dishes that were presented beautifully and tasted delightful. We also tried their pizzas, which were expertly crafted and absolutely delicious! The staff were attentive and friendly, which made the entire experience even better! They were more than willing to accommodate a dairy allergy. This is a must-go restaurant, and we will be back when we are in town next!

As an Italian living abroad , I can totally affirm that this is the best Italian place in Florida. Pizza was amazing and I ate the best cannoli outside Palermo, Sicily. Amazing owners and staff that create a very friendly atmosphere. Well done!!! We will see you guys very soon.

Amazing wood-oven pizza, great selection of Italian cheeses and meats for the appetizer, and a delightfully zesty and light lemon cream dessert. Service was perfectly attentive and refreshingly friendly. Among the very best restaurants in Sarasota.

What a delight! I have never been to Italy but hearing employees speak Italian and how amazing the food was, I cannot imagine it being much better! We loved the beef short rib raviolis and the clay oven fired pizza with prosciutto! My favorite was the special touch of the bread served with eggplant! Thank you Arturo for being a king server and we welcome our next visit!
