About the restaurant
La Bella Restaurant & Pizzeria in Valatie, NY is an Italian restaurant where the true taste of the old country reigns supreme. The old family recipes used at La Bella remain true to the mouthwatering homemade dishes prepared in Mama's Cucina Italiana. In Italy, using only the finest and freshest ingredients in the preparation of the meal, is of the utmost importance. At La Bella we believe that is one tradition to revere and to follow every day.

We hope you will join us soon for lunch, dinner, a pizza, or a slice to go.

Buon Appetito!

Super addition to our local restaurant scene. Had dinner this time. On the patio again - beautiful view of the 18th fairway. Nice shade and fans. The tables are large and seats comfortable. Great freshly made bread with oil and balsamic to dip it in. Chicken capriccio was huge and delicious (comes with tasty veggies instead of pasta). Mushroom ragu was also excellent with penne. Too full for dessert this time, but repeat recommendation for the lemon cake. Next time!

Villa di Como is tremendous. We've been there 5 or 6 times and each visit was a pleasure. The food is exceptional and authentic. The service is equally outstanding. We highly recommend it.

About the restaurant
Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse offers unforgettable meals in an equally unforgettable atmosphere. Our guests enjoy the Italian-themed music with plenty of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack; the caricatures on the walls; the big-city feel; and the warmth of the wood-paneled dining rooms. Above all, they love the feast for all of their senses provided by our 24 oz. signature Delmonico steak.

We also serve homemade Italian specialties, including pasta, seafood dishes, bruschetta, garlic bread, salads, chicken dishes, and cannoli, as well as a great selection of wines.
