I am so happy to have stumbled upon this place! We were a bit overwhelmed by the huge menu and numerous nightly specials, but our waiter helped navigate the extensive menu and steered our whole table to excellent choices.

While in Capitola we heard great reviews about Bella Roma so we decided to give it a try. What an unfortunate experience it was. Even after making a reservation, they tried to put us in the very last table in the back, next to the restrooms and facing the kitchen. When we asked to be moved, the waiter did so... more
