"I wanted to support a local restaurant and came across Bella's Italian on E. Main. I ordered a draft beer and stuffed shells, which came with a house salad and three large, delicious garlic knots (each about the size of a baseball!). The restaurant wasn't particularly crowded since it was early evening (around 5 p.m.), but the two servers were more than adequate to take care of the dozen or so diners enjoying their meals. The stuffed shells were fantastic, served hot and packed with cheese that complemented the filling perfectly without being excessive. My only minor disappointment (if I can call it that) was that there were no limes for my water, so I had to settle for lemons instead—which is not unusual at places without a full bar. Regardless, this shouldn't stop anyone from having a wonderful Italian meal at a very reasonable price (around $15, which included the beer)."

It is a great place to eat the food is always good even great. And you can buy things like a gallon of green olives and other things like that for 30 bucks it's cheaper than buying olives at food Lion or Kroger's.

Fantastic New York style pizza. Huge thin slices. Friendly service. Asked if I wanted a 3rd slice, but I opted for the Limoncello Mascarpone Cheesecake. It was light, ice cold, very refreshing. Best pizza I’ve had in the area. You need to try it.

We received soggy sandwich bread, and the homemade chips were far from crispy—they could easily be bent in half. The wait for our food felt like an eternity. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 View menu

We are here last week and an so glad we found this really nice restaurant! The food was excellent! (I’m not a big fan of their wine but it was ok. I’m a little picky in that regard. Maybe I missed something. I’d say if it was bad. It was a ton of food. We had leftovers and it was exciting to have them later too! Husband had the fish! Go! Please support this small friendly restaurant!! So good!?

Lori’s is a gem! The food is amazing, always fresh and hot. Staff is friendly and always ready to ensure your food is cooked well. We have stopped in at Lori’s prior for the calzones (which are huge, a great value and amazing on their own). This time we grabbed the primavera pizza which was hands down delicious! PS the deserts.oh my. The tiramisu the cannoli’sYes please add that in at the end of your meal. Make the trip if you are in town they will not disappoint.
