"Bella Napoli has been churning out legit Neopolitan-style pizzas for almost 15 years, with the Italian owners earning everyone’s trust with crispy-yet-foldable crust, never-overcooked vegetables, and cheeses that you probably won’t find at any old slice shop. The creamy fettuccine boscaiola, tomato-rich chicken parmesan, and daily pasta specials hit the mark, too. Musicians strum a guitar in the corner, and if you’re lucky, folks will put down their wine glasses and spin out into the small spaces between tables to dance. Enjoy the scene and finish off with a shot of limoncello." - Bailey Freeman

Rotating specials like pistachio ricotta stuffed-crust white pies complement more time-honored flavors on the regular menu. As a bonus, the restaurant hosts live music several nights a week." - Eater Staff, Delia Jo Ramsey

Amazing food, my new favorite place! Gabriel was really friendly, the pasta was just perfect and the pizza was incredible, you could smell the basil and taste all the flavors The tiramisu was delicious and the expreso martini just as it should be :) Thanks

Cute Italian restaurant. I ordered the Diavola Pizza and pan fried artichoke The food was tasty. I was a little confused with the artichoke I assumed pan fried would have some type of texture to it "fry" the artichoke is more like pan seared sautéed style in my opinion. I like the sauce. I would give this place another chance. It is a little pricey for what you get, put possibly worth it depending on the selection

Wow!!! Amazing atmosphere, unbelievably delicious food with service from Caleb that completely made our evening perfect! His suggestions were the chef’s kiss!! We are visiting from Charlotte, NC and I’m so glad we didn’t miss out on this hidden gem! Thank you ❤️

Tried to eat here last night. Host informed us there was a three-hour wait. We left. Ridiculous. Paid for parking for nothing. (Received a reply from restaurant saying I should be more thoughtful in my review given it was a Saturday night and they were busy. Had the wait been 45 minutes or even an hour, I could have sat at the bar or waited nearby. Three hours was excessive. My opinion.)

Unfortunately that night was raining and we couldn’t sit out with our pup but we ordered take out. We’ve gotten the Regina Elisabetta (right) and the Isabella pizza (left)… OMG the dough, the sauce, the toppings and most importantly, the cornicione was amazing 🔥 we are just visiting Nashville and this was definitely a gem! Hopefully we can stop by again before we leave.

Absolutely amazing pizza! I travel the U.S. for woek and try pizza everywhere I go! This is the best pizza I have had. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is top notch. I recommend for any pizza lover to try this place out.

Excellent pizzeria! Unique location, tucked into the middle of a building complex, gives it a hidden hole-in-the-wall vibe. Industrial, Italian atmosphere is spot on as you enjoy traditional Italian dishes and Neapolitan pizza! The dough was cooked to perfection, and you could taste the quality in the toppings! Service was great as well! Highly recommend if you enjoy great pizza or Italian dishes!!

Perfect evening for our celebration. Service was awesome. We never had to wait. The food was delicious. They even surprised my husband with nice tiramisu with a little sparkles. It was great. Shout to Addison. You are incredible! Mr. Host… thank you for arranging the tiramisu. So thoughtful. Sorry I forgot your name.

Best Authentic Neapolitan Pizza In Tennessee, maybe even the United States, the interior is very nice it is like an old tavern with brick walls, and the service is always fast.

Love this authentic Italian neighborhood pizza spot! We had a light late dinner and it was wonderful. The mixed salad Misticanza Biologica - the toppings and dressing are a perfect mix with the lettuce to make a satisfying salad. The pizza was really good. Dough was flavorful with the right texture, crunch and chew. The toppings really made it special though - we ordered the Capricciosa, combo of meats and veggies that really go well together. We will be back!

Always a great experience, with such a warm ambiance, amazing pizzas, and great service. We had yet another perfect meal at Bella Napoli last night! Can't say enough good things about this place!!

Cute Italian place with amazing pizza, possibly the best in Nashville. The pastas were also yummy and overall, it was a great experience. We also ordered the tiramisu to share, which was so delicious; we ate the entire thing and even the extra chocolate sauce. Staff was friendly.

I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and I loved it! They had a great menu with many options, our waitress was so lovely, and the food was amazing! I got the Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina and it was such a great comfort dish. I truly wanted to try everything! Will definitely return.

Bella Napoli has been on my list far too long and finally got to visit on a chilly fall night. I loved the walk up, it felt like I was in another city or place entirely. BN offers an authentic Italian dining experience. Nestled in Edgehill Village, the restaurant has a warm, rustic ambiance, with brick walls, cozy seating, and charming string lights on the outdoor patio. The menu is filled with classic Italian dishes made with fresh ingredients. We went with the Diavoli & Margherita pizzas. The flavor was divine, we did feel it was undercooked and could have used more sauce (asked for more & it costs), but also recognize that may be intentional. We paired it with a red wine to split. The staff was attentive and prompt. Bella Napoli is a hidden gem for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Italy in the heart of Nashville.

We decided to sit outside at Bella Napoli and eat! We love the outdoor area, as you feel like you're transported to Italy sitting on the streets and enjoying a nice Italian meal! There were definitely a lot of bugs out, but the restaurant had those bug repellant fans which really helped! I ordered the lasagna and my friend ordered the Margherita pizza. The lasagna tasted fresh, and had a lot of meat sauce inside which I always love. I also usually have to sprinkle a ton more Parmesan cheese on my pasta, but they put a lot on the lasagna already which I really appreciated! My friend really liked her Margherita pizza, as it was cooked perfectly. I will say the service was a bit on the slower side, but we were just chatting and having fun so we didn't mind as much as maybe some other people would. We ended up parking on a side street, which is typically what you want to do around there if you don't want to pay'

Loved the people, didn't particularly love the food. It's a decently nice little casual spot with a great wine menu, but when the house made bread is the best thing out of all the food we enjoyed, it's more indicative we should have all ordered the pizza, rather than the entrees or pasta dishes we ended up going with. Would give it a go again given how well the bread came out as a starter, I can only imagine how good it is as a pizza.

Christina B.

Yelp
A true hidden gem in the Edgehill neighborhood! The outside is so cute and feels like a little alley in Europe. It's a perfect spot for a date night. The portions are generous and prices reasonable, and the servers/hosts weren't just good, they were amazing! It feels like a good spot to be a regular at

Caitlin T.

Yelp
Incredible meal! Had to try a couple of different entrees because it all sounded so good. The food came out pretty quick, was hot and was DELICIOUS! The outside is a cute courtyard area with overhead string lights. Our server was very nice but a little slow with checking in during the meal and then bringing the check at the end. Definitely my new go to Italian spot!

Dylan S.

Yelp
Pizza was unbelievable. I travel for work and try to get pizza in every city I visit. This is by far the best authentic Italian pizza. Crust was light and fluffy, the undercarriage had the perfect amount of char. I will 100% visit this spot every time I come to Nashville. Our server was Addison. She was sweet, attentive, and overall a great waitress. The spot is in a cool location a little hidden but has a nice atmosphere. COME EAT PIZZA HERE.

Yelp
It's very close to pizza's in Italy. After traveling to Italy I got spoiled, but this is very good Pizza. We have been coming here for years, it is a hidden gem close to Belmont. We always get Pizzas. I had the Diavola - San Marzano, fior di latte,spicy salami, Calabrian chilies. I asked for a side of Spicy Honey on the side to spice it up a bit more. Check out the others we got! The service was Awesome.

Made a reservation for 10 at 4:45PM on a Sunday via the phone because the party was too big to make a reservation online. Ordered focaccia, bruschetta, and tagliere misto which was essentially a charcuterie board (on the menu, it says serves 2, but it really serves probably closer to 3-4 as it was huge). The focaccia was essentially their pizza with no toppings, and the bruschetta was tasty. The charcuterie board had some roasted veggies, fresh mozz, and different cured meats, pretty tasty. For my pizza, I got the capricciosa which came with a bunch of different toppings and had good flavor (probably thanks to all the meats on it). The most important aspect is the crust, which was super chewy and tasty. It did however get soggy over time, and that's what I subtracted one star for. Otherwise, it was really good, and my pizza standards are quite high, having been to Italy and lived in NYC. Had tiramisu and panna cotta for dessert, the latter was super smooth and creamy and the strawberry jam on top made for some flavor. The tiramisu was moist and tasty, and both desserts weren't too sweet which was great. Service was attentive and friendly, definitely noticed upselling but that's alright. Tip included in the bill, came out to be less than $400 for 8 which was pretty good, portions were huge and everyone had way too much food. Pizzas can possibly be shared between 2 (I think 2 pizzas for every 3 people is probably good), and the pastas are huge and definitely can be shared between 2. Good quality food, would recommend!

Great ambiance and quick staff, this is a cute spot in the area if you're craving Neapolitan pizza. The only knock is the crust is a little bland and needs some salt

Craig M J.

Yelp
I just found out about this place, and I've been there two weeks in a row . the dough is perfect. The pizzas are amazing, but it's really the people that work there that make the difference. The owner is warm and inviting and his daughter works there too, and she's an absolute hoot. If you're looking for good pasta or pizza, I Absolutely positively recommend!

My first time visiting Bella Napoli and I only have great things to say. I came here with a group of six and made a reservation ahead of time. Many restaurants in Nashville cannot handle a group of this size, but this place was perfect and accommodating. Our server was incredibly kind and took time to explain everything on the menu. For starters, I went with the calamari! This was delicious and I highly recommend. For the main, I went with the special bianche pizza of the day. I've never had binache pizza (pizza without any sauce), so it was an interesting and unique experience. They source all of their ingredients from Italy so this is as authentic as it gets. I've been searching for a good Italian place in Nashville and can finally say I found one. Highly recommend!

Erin B.

Yelp
Great authentic Italian food! The pizza was very good. This place is tucked away in a cute alleyway. Parking in lots nearby is paid but free street parking can be found as well. We were a group of 4 and we were there for 3 hours. There was a gap between when we ordered apps and when we ordered mains but we also stayed for some dessert cocktails post meal. Can't wait to go back and try the pasta!

Daniel B.

Yelp
WONDERFUL authentic Italian pizza and food! Get an express before you leave! And their cheesecake is amazing!

David H.

Yelp
To start, the pizza we had was very soggy and flavorless, and was also the highlight of dinner. When we ordered focaccia bread, we were not expecting just a plain pizza crust. And when we questioned it, I was definitely not expecting to be attacked by our waitress saying "that's how the Italians do it". (I've been to Italy, and that's a lie) Regardless of the price I paid for the food, I would've been disappointed, but I wish I would've went to Olive Garden. Would've had much better food and saved some money

Kevin S.

Yelp
Absolutely amazing Italian hidden gem right in the heart of Nashville. The space is very unique. The pizzas are legit Neapolitan pizzas, with all the ingredients and equipment imported from Italy. Great pasta dishes, and always has great specials. Fantastic service. Must try.

If you are in the mood for a delicious personal-sized pizza baked to perfection in a woodfired oven, then this is the place for you! My only real complaint, they are not open on Monday or Tuesday.

Grace T.

Yelp
I can honestly say this is the best pizza I've had in my life. Fresh ingredients and the dough was chewy. Marco and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The ambiance was very relaxed and homey. I am from California and will make it a must visit on my next trip to Nashville.

Bailey P.

Yelp
As soon as I walked inside, I heard a group of people speaking Italian from the kitchen and I knew it was going to be good. I had such a hard time deciding between the pizza and pasta since they both sounded so good. I ended up going with the classic margarita pizza which did not disappoint. It was very simple but still very good. The crust was definitely a highlight. I hope to be back soon to try a pasta dish...the penne alla vodka is calling my name. I came on a Thursday night and it was not very busy. I came around 6:30pm but the crowd definitely began to pick up later in the night. The service was very fast. Our food came very quickly after ordering. There was also some live music which was good!

Kathy P.

Yelp
Tucked into the back of a shopping center in Edgehill, this is one of my personal favorite spots in town! After a few visits, I've determined that all of the food is good- but the standouts for me are the lasagna and cannolis! Service is always friendly and timely without feeling too rushed. Perfect spot for a lowkey date night, dinner with friends, or a terrific solo meal.

Clorissa C.

Yelp
Authentic food and personable service! We dined as a group of 8 and it went flawlessly! 5 stars from the artichokes to the pasta/pizza to the desserts! I really enjoyed the space and it filled up quickly for a Thursday night! Bella Napoli is the perfect peaceful hideaway.

Tina C.

Yelp
An amazing date experience! We shared a Margherita pizza and one of their pasta specials (shrimp ravioli). Both were fantastic. We could see the pizza oven from our seat, which added to the authenticity. We had trouble figuring out what to order and the server gladly gave us their recommendations and chatted with us.

Carolyn M.

Yelp
The atmosphere of this restaurant was friendly and authentic. They played live Italian music the whole night. The staff were very sweet. We only got pizza but it was excellent.

Anna G.

I had been wanting to go to this place for so long! I think we went a little too early to sit outside, because the flies were sooo bad. Like the worst I have ever experienced in my entire life. I wanted to enjoy my pizza (which was great) but I was just rushing through the meal to get away from the flies. Even the waitress said it was really bad.

Ryan V.

Yelp
Yeahhhh wanted to like this place. Cute ambiance, and they were super cool about moving our resy up a from 8:30 to 7:30! The calamari and bruschetta was pretty good! And the wine was decent!...however, the service kinda lacked. Our server was a very out going gentleman...lots of charisma and jokes but he must have had an off night. Took him a while to bring some refills on water and also took 15 mins for us to get greeted. Our entrees also took a while, but we were given an apology and was told that a kitchen employee walked out. Sucks but dang kinda inappropriate? Anyhoo. Server gave us a joke to try to save the day. A for effort. God bless him. Anyway, entrees came out and the spaghetti was mid but the vodka pasta wasn't bad! Could've been better.

Danielle V.

Yelp
We loved the entire experience. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious!! We started with artichokes. They've been marinating for 30+ days. AMAZING!!! The Caesar salad was a great appetizer and the dressing tastes authentic. I ordered chicken Alfredo because I eat like a toddler and my husband had the chicken parmigiana. His was incredible!!! Perfect amount of crispiness. The atmosphere was fun and inviting. I'm glad we stumbled upon it!

Albina R.

Yelp
This was a real Italian restaurant. We loved penne ala vodka and Andrea pizza. Chicken Caesar was also great. The owner and the chefs are from Italy and they import their ingredients directly from Italy. Highly recommend this place.

Erin W.

Great food, little tricky to find, but locals were helpful to direct us to its location. Service was prompt and have zero complaints!

Although a Pizzeria by name, Bella Napoli Pizzeria features so much more! On a recent visit, not only did we try some amazing pizza, but we ordered some mighty fine pastas and entrées! Some highlights include: the chicken parmesan (It's super tasty... and huge), the ravioli (Bella featured a mushroom gorgonzola variety the night we dined), and the Fettuccine Alla Boscaiola (such a flavorful pancetta cream sauce). As for pizzas, we tried the Capricciosa, which features ham, salame, marinated artichokes, kalamata olives, mushrooms and fresh mozzarella. But we definitely had food envy other pizzas were being delivered to nearby tables. As for the restaurant's interior, it is designed more like an updated old world Italian restaurant (lots of brick and wood). It's definitely inviting and provides a great backdrop for family dining or a casual date night. I'd like to send a special shout out to all the staff who helped us on our visit. They were all super friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and provided excellent, speedy service.

Service was amazing. I wish I could of remembered our waitress's name, but she was the best. Full of good energy and attentive. My wife and I shared a pizza and the penne allá vodka. Pizza: all I remember was it had a huge ball of burrita in the middle. I believe it may have also has prosciutto and mushrooms. It was absolutely delicious. The crust was perfectly cooked and had great flavor. Can't wait to try another pizza soon! Penne: My wife loved this dish. I thought the dish was good, not great. We added chicken to it. I wish it was a nice fried chicken cutlet but it was diced grilled chicken, it just didn't hit the same. The chicken got lost in the dish a bit. We will definitely be back... most likely sooner than later.

Macy R.

Yelp
Our favorite place to get some good authentic Italian food. All of the employees are incredibly kind and accommodating. Food usually comes out pretty quick unless it's crowded (and even then it doesn't take long). Our favorite place to sit is outside, but when the patio is closed the inside is still just as beautiful. Try the bruschetta!

Alexander Q.

Yelp
By far the most authentic Italian you can find in Nashville. the owners are so great skino (sorry if misspelled) and Marco were delightful. The prosciutto was like ive never had before we will definitely be back

Tom H.

Yelp
Cool little pizza spot that was a recommendation from a local. Indoor and outdoor seating, small menu with a focus on pizza and pasta. I got the margarita pie and wife got pasta dish. Both excellent. Kitchen was a little backed up so we asked for a little bread and host disappears and whips up a small bread pie with olive oil and salt. Was amazing. Could tell the team was very Passionate about their food, service was excellent. Solid place !

Excellent pizza (best i've ever had in the U.S). Service was great; super nice waiter & nice vibe

My boyfriend took my here as a surprise for my birthday. I had the Fettuccine Alla Boscaiola which was pretty good but very Al dente. The pizza here also looked so good, but neither of us had gotten it. My boyfriend asked them to sing (lol I turned 26) and they shut off all the lights in the restaurant. They had put a candle in the tiramisu and that was also really good. We also split a bottle of wine, they had a very limited selections of wine. Their overall menu was also very limited. Our server was interesting. Overall everyone was really nice and it was a good place to go for my birthday.

What a gem! This restaurant is very authentic in its food, service and ambiance. A definite highlight of our trip!

The service here was absolutely terrible. We waited over an hour for 2 glasses of wine and the food was subpar. I was so excited to go because everyone said it was amazing, but that was not our experience at all. Wouldn't go back

This place rocks. Incredibly good food and good drink too. I am now trying to fill the word minimum

We had dinner at Bella Napoli pizzeria tonight, and it was amazing. First of all the service was incredible. Our server was Jae and she made sure the experience was nice without being in your face every minute. We never needed or waited on anything. She was excellent. We had a Caesar salad with homemade dressing, the artichoke appetizer, and a Diavalo pizza. On a scale of 10 this was an 11. It was a very enjoyable hour. I highly recommend this place.

Ryley R.

Yelp
So good! Penne alla vodka is always a favorite. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu though.

Lana B.

Yelp
So delicious! We ordered family style and really appreciated the authentic Italian food. The pizza was perfectly wood fired and the sauce tasted very fresh. The pasta was super saucy, in a good way. We split a bottle of wine from montepulciano. 10/10. Our waitress seemed new but eager to help us out and give recommendations!

Edward S.

Yelp
Still the best tasting, fresh pizza in Nashville. However, we ordered two pies and both needed approx. 6 minutes more in the brick oven. When I am forced to eat my pizza pies with a knife/fork, it's under cooked. Not by much, but everything should not fall off. Maybe a bad night, didn't eat all day, and almost sent the pizza back, but I was starving. Even on a bad day, still the best in Nashville!

Emily A.

Yelp
This place is perfect for a chill vibe but very good food. The restaurant is brick and hidden in an ally which I love. I come here all the time and love to sit outside. I always get a Caesar salad and prefer any of the pizzas over the pastas but everything is good.

Nicholas U.

Yelp
Some of the best Italian in Nashville. Great food and service. The penne alla vodka with extra sauce is the move
