Our menu features a diverse selection of Italian favorites, including handcrafted pasta dishes, seafood specialties, and wood-fired pizzas, all made with fresh ingredients. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming atmosphere where guests can enjoy affordable, home-style meals in a BYOB setting. Our team brings decades of culinary expertise, ensuring every dish reflects the rich flavors of Italian heritage.Catering services are available for events, allowing customers to experience our cuisine at private gatherings. We maintain strict quality standards in food preparation and prioritize exceptional customer service to make every visit memorable. Our operating hours are designed to accommodate both casual diners and event planners, with consistent service Tuesday through Saturday.

We remain committed to community engagement and strive to be a trusted name in Italian dining.

We love stopping at Bella's for a meal when we are up visiting my Mom. Always friendly service. It's byob, so we always take along our favorite bottle of wine. The veal is outstanding - always tender and tasty. And there is nothing quite like their garlic knots. I can't comment on their pizza, but I'm betting it is pretty good (I had a stromboli on one visit - it was outstanding.)

The best in Jenkintown, maybe even all of Abington and Cheltenham. I've been taking pizzas home for years and years but it turns out it's also a great place to sit and eat!
