Bella Cucina

Drove down from Erie and will definitely do it again. Amazing calamari, turkey sandwich and this tuna appetizer!! Wow. Timothy, our waiter...Katrina the manager. Great conversation and service. A shout out to Nick for always posting those great food photos on Facebook.

Food and atmosphere were second to none, hostesses were good... but a little *too* attentive, much like too many fine dining restaurants in America.

Best food for a 50 mile radius. Had the sea bass which was outstanding. My wife’s lamb chops were cooked to perfection. Excellent wait staff. Very professional. The wine list is very good. Always find something unique.

What a delicious surprise to find such an exquisite restaurant in quaint Franklin PA! The food was not only scrumptious but it each plate was presented like a work of art. Ava the owner was so pleasant and even created a spot on the patio for us to sit. Staff was very friendly and made us feel like family. We came back again two days later for another amazing experience. Highly recommend this lovely dining experience. Duck egg rolls were out of this world!

This is, by far, my favorite restaurant in the greater Franklin area. The food is fantastic and the service is just as good. I have never had a meal I didn't love and if I lived closer, I'd be there all the time. The Brie strip steak, brussel sprout salad and chocolate pecan pie made for a delicious Saturday evening meal! Don't think about it, just go!

Update:
Stopped in for light up night. They have great Christmas drink specials and a fantastic staff. I love the Christmas season and they made the start of this one very special!

Absolutely amazing restaurant and worth a drive! I had the swordfish which was super tasty but the pecan crusted chicken was even better! I really liked the atmosphere inside the restaurant with all those lights and comfort.

First time. It was delicious! Loved the spicy margarita and I had the salmon wellington. Highly recommend and definitely get a reservation!!

My family and I had an excellent experience here, service was on point and really knew how to get around the dining room effectively but calmly. Food was amazing, I cannot wait to go back!

Everything was so delicious!
Calamari = I don’t like squishy calamari - and this was squishy and I loved it!
Caesar salad with whole anchovies
Steak delicious
Great ambiance, nice small gem in Franklin

I have always enjoyed every meal and experience here. The food, atmosphere, service and pricing are all perfect. Every meal is well plated, full of flavor, perfect temperature, and the right sized portions. The Gorgonzola dressing is so good and I order it every time. The salads are fresh, made with spring mix, and have a variety of veggies and fresh sliced cheese. I ordered a sandwich from their specials of the day. It had 2 eggs, peppers, cheese, arugula, and a tasty aoili in between two pieces of bread and was served with a side of a tomato soup. I thoroughly enjoyed all my food and the flavors. Everything is homemade and well thought out. I will continue coming here.

The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. It’s a great place to go as a family or if you are out for a nice lunch or dinner date.

This restaurant rivals Aqua Pazzo! Amazing food. We actually tried to reserve a table at Aqua Pazzo, but could not get a good time. So we decided to go to Bella Cucina. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants in this area. Looking forward to going again. The chef there is a genius!

Beautiful decor, attentive staff, great food. I can’t wait to go back.

Used to work here. The food is excellent. Atmosphere is beautiful. The service is top tier. Excellent place to have a date.

It's one of the best restaurants.l ever been to food was out of this world. Who would have thought it would be in small town America. Always get a great meal. I haven't had nothing I didn't enjoy. Every meal we there was delicious. We had tomatoe soup best tomatoe I ever had lm my life I'm hoping to get more of the tomatoe soup

Our server Matt was amazing which gave great suggestions. The was amazing. I never would have imagined a pork chop that could be so tasty.

Great service and food! They occasionally have live music in the outdoor area. We got candied prom chops, lime cilantro salmon, and fries. All of the seasonings were excellent!

Posted up on the patio after Kayaking the Allegheny. We had a wonderful view of Fountain Park. Gretchen was our server and was prompt and personal. From the bread/olive oil to my Mignon Filet, the nosh, sides and mains were phenomenal. Fresh, flavorful, colorful, and vibrant. As far as drinks and sips, they seemed to have a great selection. I left it in Gretchen's hands to bring me IPA and a Malbec. I did some research and this IS the best restaurant within a 50 mile radius. Thank you for a wonderful experience 🙏

Bella's is one of my all time favorite restaurants. The wait staff are always super attentive and friendly. Their ever evolving menu is sure to offer a high quality meal for everyone! Be sure to save room for dessert. The creme brulee is possibly the best I've ever had!

Wear your fancy pants or let your hair down this little spot offers atmosphere, friendly service and food that is outstanding! If you are from out of town or a local this place is a must! I have to recommend the Southern Breakfast Chop!! The balance of sweet and savory was perfect!

A wonderful restaurant with a skilled wait staff. The food was excellent. I was there with a large party and everyone was very pleased. Steak and pork chop were superb. Cheesecake and tiramisu were also wonderful. The only thing that was a little lacking was their coffee which was a bit weak.
