About Bella's Italian Kitchen

Authentic Italian Dining Since 1998

Our Story

Chef Isabella Rossi grew up in her grandmother's kitchen in Positano, where she learned that the best meals are made with love, patience, and the freshest ingredients. After training at the Culinary Institute of Bologna, Isabella brought her passion stateside and opened Bella's Italian Kitchen in 1998. What started as a small 30-seat trattoria has grown into one of the most beloved restaurants in the area. Today, our team of 15 passionate culinarians carries on Isabella's mission: to create meals that bring families together and transport you to the Italian countryside with every bite.
