Bella Via - Long Island City

We sat immediately and cordially. it was very loud. the waitress seemed to be haunted, but was pleasant enough. I wish she had told me there was salat on the teller when I asked how big it was. I could have done without the extra sweet. I ordered grilled calamari and my friend had the fried. both were hard and overcooked. I should have sent mine back, but was too hungry when he arrived.

Very warm, cozy restaurant. service was excellent with many costumes for halloween celebration. the restaurant was decorated. they gave sweets for all children trick or treatment. very nice and friendly. environment.

Great food and prices but hectic and loud. No consistency with your server throughout the whole meal. Wish it was a bit calmer and relaxing.

Always one of my LIC favs. Sal and staff are attentive and food always a reliably good

Nothing to call home about ... Calamari was good which was enough for two to enjoy as an appetizer. Penne alla vodka was average. The shrimp stuffed with crabmeat (smelly bread crumbs) was gross!! I didn't eat it and it smelled like wet dog. The flies where annoying us ..having swat them away from our drinks and food while eating. I took a look above us and at the table next to us and there the flies where on the ceiling and the table. I told the waiter how the shrimp was gross and it was taken off the bill. I was offered something else but I just wanted to leave. I had enough.
