La Bella Via

I held a party for my son’s baptism at La Bella Via and it was an absolute pleasure to host an event there. The event coordinator worked with me to answer all of my questions and concerns in a very timely manner along the way. Dealing with a newborn can be time consuming and I did not have to worry about my sons baptism party at all as the staff at La Bella Via had everything under control from the day I booked. They told me whenever I needed to confirm details and were very receptive to the last minute changes I had.
The price was reasonable and the food was delicious. We received many comments from our friends and family saying how good the buffet was.
I wouldn’t hesitate to hold future events at La Bella Via and believe that any local friends and family who attended my party would consider La Bella Via for future events!

Staff is friendly. Owner is very friendly. Food is solid. Be sure to have the garlic bread with cheese with anything you choose.

Solid place! This restaurant is a go-​to for my husband and I. Food is delicious, staff is friendly and attentive.
I particularly like this establishment because the food is made to order. I’m a vegetarian and therefore (obv) have dietary restrictions. Pretty much everything they make that has meat in it can be made without the meat or meat sauce. Serious options. They have a good marinara which I usually get with eggplant rollatini, stuffed shells, etc. pizzas and calzones are baked in the wood fired oven and always solid choices. They always bring out entrees w your choice of salad or soup and rolls. You can pick your choice of pasta to have served. You can tell they don’t skimp on ingredients! On more than one occasion we have had the kind gentleman come out and ask if my vegetarian subbed dish was what I expected!
The only itty bitty qualm I have is that the place can get super noisy! Mainly though it seems to be noisiest when a ton of kids are around and it’s a weekens. So if you go in expecting it to be not dead quiet you won’t have any issues!

Ordered three pizzas to be picked up, spent over $ 50, and they were terrible. The pepperoni was completely soaked in grease. The mushroom was only cooked around the edges so that when you tried to take a slice you only got half off it, and the rest was stuck to the box. The sausage was the only edible pie, and I’ve had much better. I don’t know about the rest of their food, but after that experience I wouldn’t bother to go back and possibly waste more money. It’s just not with it

I have been coming here for years and love the food. Owner was always friendly and service was prompt. Tonight was a different story. Service was horrible!!! It took 15 minutes for the waitress to greet us, another 30 for salad and soup then another 30 for dinner. The drinks and plates sat empty in the table forever. All this happening as the owners wife sat right behind us. The restaurant wasn’t even busy. Waitress never asked how things were or if we needed anything else. It was drop the food and run away and hide for 30 minutes. A party of 6 came in after we ordered our food and began eating way before us. I can’t believe how downhill this place went.

We ate here again recently, the food was not good, and our service was lousy, most likely due to our waitress taking numerous smoke breaks, as she reeked of cigarettes.
I won’t go back here again.

Don’t waste your time with this place. Much better Italian at better prices in the area. Service was very slow, restaurant was very chilly and the food was plain. Marinara was flavorless and the pasta was way too thick. Marsala sauce and chicken was very plain and pasta was doughy. Owner could care less about customer satisfaction. Definitely won’t be back!

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of eating here last Saturday evening. We’ve been searching for a decent Italian restaurant near Easton/​Phillipsburg and am glad we discovered it. The service was top notch and the food was spectacular. I love homemade pasta noodles and this place lived up to our expectations. The staff was attentive and courteous. We will definitely be back many times!
