7. 4th Base Pizza and Wingz
Reviewed By Zubsin
The variety of pizza choices are excellent. The menu includes wingz and a salad bar as well as a cinnamon dessert offering. We had a delicious medium pizza, one trip through the salad bar and a beer. They offer a large bowl for your salad so you donât need to do all you can eat. The beer selection was to my liking as they offer many regional selections.

Our first time here. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality and variety of the menu selections. The prices were very reasonable and the quantity of food was more than expected. I had the chicken parmesan and my wife had the chicken Picada. Both dishes very very well done. The service was good with the only complaint being after we were served the server never came back to ensure there were no problems. The restaurant was well taken care of and very clean. They do have wine selections here, but it's very limited. The white and the red. Nothing special, but ok for the price. 5.25 per glass and only 3 dollars during happy hour. We will return again.

Bella is dining European style, so do not go with the expectation you will be in and out quickly. Every dinner at Bella always feels like a special occasion to us, even if the occasion is only that itâs Friday nite. We have been going to Bella since it was a tiny hole in the wall in a strip mall and have never had a bad experience. We try to avoid chain restaurants and support Mom n Pop establishments. We did worry when Bella moved to the big building several years ago that things would change but thankfully they did not. This is an Italian restaurant run by an Italian family where you eat yummy Italian food and drink Italian wine while Bocelli or Dean Martin play in the background and yet you can still have a conversation with your dinner mates and not have to shout to hear each other. Bliss. We highly recommend getting whatever the Special is; youâll get a delicious protein (usually chicken or pork) and two different pastas, one in red sauce and one in white sauce. We donât even ask what is anymore; we just say weâll have the special. And do try the Nutella cheesecake and lemoncello when itâs time for dessert.

Have lunch here regularly with friends and am never disappointed. Really like their salads and sandwiches and any Italian dishes are always good. Haven't tried the pizza yet but that's likely next. Prices are reasonable and service is always very good.

We made it for their 1st Anniversary month! An early reservation got us our choice of tables. Low or high, both seemed very comfortable. As the restaurant filled up it didn't seemed cramped or noisy at all - high ceilings my help with that. The walls are decorated with nice pictures and a large mural - very nice. And the background music was lovely and not too loud.Service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive without being annoying. He let us try a sip or 2 of wine we'd never heard of. And most were new to us as they were mostly Italian and Spanish. As it got busier he made a point of checking in on us at all the right times - water filled, empty plates cleared, etc.And the food! We shared a salad that could have served 3 people. It included salami, thin slices of pepperoncini, tomatoes - delicious. Bread is a small plate but looked good, as well. For entrees we had the Paella Mixta which had sausage, chicken and lots of shrimp! Very good. The real winner was the Spicy Chipotle Pesto Trottole with chicken sausage. Amazing! It's not an overly expansive menu but that lets them focus on quality.4 Dessert options were difficult to choose from the Spumoni was close to the best I've ever had. 2 scoops were easy to share but we should have take the tiramisu cake home for later. Dang it! And that's why we'll go back!

This location is always swamped, I've heard they like it that way and that's why they refuse to add another in the area. The server was sincere but new. Food was average, not as good as in the past.

Reviewed By Withyscott
This family owned and run restaurant occupies a small house in historic Kennewick. Because of its size and popularity, reservations are a good idea. Two or three choices are available each night, depending on the day of the week. The flavorful Italian dishes, based on home cooking recipes that âcame over on the boatâ are served family-style. The walls are covered with hundreds of photos, posters, and souvenirs, long-ago weddings, historic boxing matches, classic movies, Betty Boop, you-name-it. The service is friendly, the atmosphere cheerful. The posted hours are 5-9, but we were the last ones to leave at 8:15 on a Saturday night. The dining hours appear to be limited, early, and busy. We enjoyed our meal and plan to return the next time weâre in the Tri-Cities.
