The Bella Napoli Restaurant has reopened after 30 years! The original owners, Steven and Carmella Rodoquino began their legacy in the early 1940’s and remained opened until the late 1970’s.
The Bella Napoli is owned and operated by Ronnie Haag, (grandson to Mr. & Mrs. Rodoquino)
Ronnie grew up living with his grandmother Mrs. Rodoquino in the apartment above the Bella Napoli Restaurant. He watched and learned from his grandmother on how to prepare everything from scratch. Fortunately he paid attention to her 'old world' cooking style and mastered those 'homestyle' tastes and flavors which is being served for all to enjoy at the restaurant today! Grandma would be very proud!
He remembers when customers would come into the restaurant, sit down and relax -- talking with one another like one big happy family! Others would just come in to pick up a takeout order. Back in the day, customers would bring in their own pots and pans to transport the food home. It was ALL good stuff then as it is now!
Ronnie valued and appreciated that time when everything was made with pride and people appreciated fine home cooked meals. He has incorporated that old fashion comfortable charm once again at the Bella Napoli Restaurant.
Ronnies focus and goal is to bring back that authenticity.

Munchmobile review: "Bella Napoli is a fun place, and it was a good way to end the Munch year, with a late-summer breeze drifting throught the dining room. Not to mention the music & singing from the the corner."
The tomato cucumber cooler, managed to be cool, refreshing and mildly spicy. One of the summer's top soups! The margherita pizza is solid and straighforward! The carpaccio with arugula, capers and Parmigiana Reggiano was deeply satisfying!
