Via Bella - Des Plaines

We visited this restaurant while attending a nearby wedding, and my sons had a craving for pizza. Coming from New York, we are used to top-notch pizza, so we had high expectations. We were pleasantly surprised! The thin crust was perfect, the sweet tomato sauce was delicious, and the pepperoni and sausage were both flavorful and juicy. The staff provided excellent service, and while the setting is simple, it is clean and functional. We will definitely be returning!

The staff is incredibly welcoming, making you feel right at home in this charming family-run restaurant. I tried the Chicken Via Bella, and it was absolutely delicious. The prices are quite reasonable, too. My husband and I have also ordered their thin crust pizza, which he absolutely loves—especially since he's quite particular about his pizza. Overall, it's a great place for tasty food at a fair price.

I've visited this restaurant several times since moving nearby in May. On my first visit, I came in to buy a pizza for my friends who helped me move, and it was absolutely incredible. They wanted buffalo chicken, and it did not disappoint! The staff even treated us to fried dough dusted with powdered sugar, making me feel warmly welcomed to the neighborhood. Since then, I've ordered a few times, and I've always been very pleased with my meals. I've tried a variety of dishes—pizza, several types of pasta, and a couple of sandwiches—and everything has been delicious. I was initially hesitant to give it a five-star rating because of its unusual hours, which I understand are due to it being family-run, but the food is fantastic, and the people who run it are wonderful!

Ordered here while in town for a convention. The food was good. The service was prompt. They brought the pizza up to our room while most other places had us meet the delivery guy in the lobby. But what made this place truly great was the customer service and the kindness of our delivery person. We ordered from here the next night also again the food was brought to our room once more by the same delivery person who remembered us and was so nice he even brought us a dessert and thanked us using their services again. We will definitely use this restaurant every time we are in town!!!

I had never eaten at Via Bella and a friend recommended them for a last minute catering order for my daughter's wedding on Saturday. The food was excellent! Everyone at the wedding was raving abougt the food and wanted to know where it was from. The Italian beef was great and the chicken vesuvio was excellent. Came with a beautiful garden salad, garlic bread, great pizza and mostacolli. You can't beat the price. Can't wait to use them for the baby shower I'm hosting in a few weeks!
