Boardman Belleria

Typical Italian place, common for this area. The food was good but nothing to brag about. Prices are in line with other area restaurants BUT they have an excellent lunch menu, reasonably priced and very filling. Not a bad visit, just nothing to write home about food wise. Our server, a very nice, smiling young lady got a $10 tip due to her very friendly and positive attitude. Sorry I did not get her name.

We live only a mile away, so we have tried Bellaria twice, both times for carry out food. The pizza is great. Lots of cheese and toppings, good crust and sauce. The Italian Hoagie is good. The wedding soup is passable -- not as good as a couple other local places. However, anything made with spaghetti sauce is not so great. Way too sweet. I had a Chicken Parm sandwich and it tasted like they sprinkled it with sugar before putting on the cheese. The Pasta Fagioli is a joke. It was nothing but ditalini and a few beans covered in the sweet spaghetti sauce-- no meat or veg -- and not even mixed together. The bottom of the cup had plain ditalini in it. It was nothing like a soup; more lake a pasta dinner. This last time they messed up our order and gave us a totally different order. We had to call them, take it back, and they had to hunt for our order. First they said we didn't have an order, then when I explained who I had talked to and what the order was, they found it. There are plenty of Italian pizza places in the area. We may have to drive a little further to find a better one than this.

My wife has always liked this place because its close to her job so she mostly does carryout and whenever she wanted to go inside to eat, I've been opposed to it because of past experiences due to the atmosphere inside and hit or miss on the food quality. This last experience has made me change my mind! My wife was told that there is new ownership and told me that it looked different. The restaurant was so bright and it even had a fresh smell and I felt liked it smelled clean. Don't know if the appliances are new or different cooks but my buffalo chicken sandwich that I get tasted better. The Pepsi fountain drink even had a better taste and so did the ice. Looking forward to future visits!!
