Bella Italia Ristorante in Winter Garden makes a strong first impression with thoughtful touches like fresh bread plated with balsamic script. The meal starts well, especially with a flavorful meatball parm appetizer. The chicken parm arrives as a massive portion—two large, house-breaded cutlets over pasta—but bigger doesn’t always mean better. While the sauce has solid flavor, the chicken is overly thick, slightly dry, and the breading-to-meat ratio feels off. It’s a dish that looks incredible but doesn’t fully deliver. On the bright side, the mushroom risotto and desserts are standout items. Great spot overall, but for parm, not quite moe approved.
