***** Bella Napoli Restaurant & Pizzeria, 1443 Alton Road, Miami Beach, Florida 33139, (305) 672-1558.

You want good–cheap “mom & pop” red sauce Italian?..checkout, Bella Napoli in Miami Beach.

A recent outing had me doing—chicken parm sub ($5.95), veal parm sub ($6.50), sausage & peppers sub ($4.75), large 16″ plain pizza ($10.50), linguini with clams-white sauce ($7.50), garlic rolls (1 dozen $3.00). The stuff is GOOD and DIRT cheap. Special mention goes to the garlic rolls–loved them–loaded and I do mean loaded with garlic and oil… and the pizza which was thin crusted-sweet sauce. Operative words on Bella, GOOD & CHEAP.

This is a no-frills joint. Like I said before, good stuff, real cheap…very pleasant staff. You can check menu/prices at www.bellanapolisouthbeach.com.

Bella Napoli is open Monday-Friday 11am-11pm and Saturday-Sunday noon-11pm.
