The Scene
Cozy and low-lit, this Club Quarters Hotel restaurant's handsome back room attracts businesspeople with warm earth tones and polished chandeliers; one wall is rakishly covered in wooden wine box panels. A few high tables perch in the front bar area, while a handful of outdoor tables offers sunny views of Wacker Drive and the river beyond.
The Food
The hearty, homestyle Italian menu offers plenty of variety, from overstuffed panini and fresh pastas to salads and main courses. Bruschetta brimming with ripe tomatoes and fragrant with garlic is a favorite starter, though most diners settle on pillowy-soft--and complimentary--foccacia bread drizzled with olive oil. As for the pizza, Bacino's signature Spinach Supreme lives up to its billing, the firm, flaky crust stuffed with mushrooms, herbs, and a ton of the green stuff.

We got the home delievery Sat. night. House salad w/ basil balsamic vinagrette- alot of vinager in that dressing BUT the greens were very fresh and tasty. Kinda small amount thru, but what do you expect with this ecomony. Also, the stuffed Spinach Supreme with the extra free mushrooms- great cheeses and alot of spinach. Seemed like a sprinkle of mushrooms. Flavorable sauce and the crest was better then some of the pizza places in downtown Chicago. All in all, a nice thick and large (we had a medium 12") pizza with a enjoyable salad (with our own dressing). Oh, the delievery time was very quick, for a Saturday night, and the delievery person was super nice. Next time we plan to "bus it" there and get a thin crest pizza with extra mushrooms.

My boyfriend and I had reservations here after a night out and as soon as I walked in I was wowed. The atmosphere was great! Old Italian decor, cozy and romantic. Our server was superb and very attentive. The fresh-baked bread and olive oil was a fantastic starter. We ordered a small deep-dish pizza which was perfect for the two of us. The pizza was perfectly cooked: soft flaky crust, gooey cheese, delicious sauce! Definitely try this restaurant!!!

Bella's is a great standby for pizza in the Loop. Unlike most Chicago restaurants, esp. pizza places, the menu contains many healthful options and gourmet toppings. The atmosphere, which looks fairly formal, belies it's reasonable prices. The owners should open up a more casual version which caters better to "on the go" patrons.
