    Best Chilaquiles in town. My husband and I go to this Bacari every Sunday after Church service. Weโ€™ve been to other Bacaris and the Glendale one is the best.

    I moved to Glendale three years ago and La Bella has been on my list to try the whole time. Came here with my family on New Yearโ€™s Day, thankfully they were open. We were seated immediately and the service was great (we were probably one of four parties seated). We ordered the La Bella Salad, meatballs, and two pizzas - the Funghi Misti and Alla Salsiccia - they were all so good. I order meatballs at every Italian restaurant I go to, and this was up there. Ordered the lasagna, carbonara, and papardelle with short rib. The lasagna was perfect, carbonara was very rich, and the papardelle short rib was SO GOOD - not too fatty, lots of meat. Definitely my favorite one so far. I was so full I could not finish the carbonara. The host/owner noticed and told us they are making a fresh carbonara for us to pack and take home. Totally took us by surprise, but we were grateful. Have already recommended others to try and will definitely be back again.

    What a surprising gourmet experience. Who knew this nondescript restaurant in the basement downstairs could hold such a delicious array of food. The chef has to be applauded ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ. The only caveat-no decaf coffee to go with the delicious brunch and dessert!

    Didnโ€™t know what to expect, but I met a couple friends after work and we shared a pizza and some appetizers. The service was fabulous. Elvira was lovely and attentive. The pour of wine by the glass was generous and the noise level was quiet enough for us to have a lovely conversation between friends - we will definitely come back!! The pizza and brussels sprouts were fabulous!
