Usually love the pizza here, but had a BOGO coupon so decided to dine in. Husband got the Giant Ravioli which arrived cold in the center. I had the Bella Penne Chicken which had a good flavor, but was it suppose to be the consistency of a bowl of soup?! May just stick to the pizza and lunch special here.

This is the best place ever to eat pizza, pasta or chicken! Every time I come it's so delicious. The consistency on the food and customer service is always perfect. Definitely a great place to come and have lunch or dinner. They have a lunch special that is the best deal ever. Ever since the new owners bought it the place is amazing! Keep it up!!

I eat here very barely but what I do it's always a good experience. The only reason for the four stars is the price I think it's a little high but what can I say it's good food. The pasta is always good there pizzas a little on the greasy side but it'll do. By far the best thing on the menu is the garlic

The food always looks and taste so good. When you first enter there is a medley of sweet smelling aromas which kind of makes you wonder where to start.

This restaurant far surpasses any other nearby dining options in Tamarac and Sunrise. The food looks and taste good, the services is very friendly and efficient. Definitely a great place to come and have lunch or dinner. we will be back soon.

What did I just eat?!? I've never written a review so quickly; I literally just finished my meal. (What I could stomach of it anyways.) To be fair, normally the words "chain" and "delivery" when combined with the word Italian do not sit well with me and I know better than to bother. However, I was confined to my home today and had nothing available for dinner and was really craving shrimp scampi. The previous reviews had me hopeful that the meal would at least be edible. Apparently even that expectation was too high. As stated, I ordered the shrimp scampi for myself and went for the $1.99 upgrade from a side garden salad to a side Caesar salad. For my son, I ordered the Grilled Spa Chicken Breast Sandwich with a side of fries. (The menu offers chips as a side, but I was told they don't actually have chips, so fries it was.) Total came to just over $34. Yikes! Well my options were limited so whatever. The only positive about this place--the delivery was lightning fast! I was quoted 45 minutes to an hour; it arrived in 35 minutes. I tipped generously, bringing my $34 bill to $40. As previously stated, I paid $1.99 to upgrade to a Caesar salad; I didn't receive any salad. My shrimp scampi only had 5 shrimp, though rather large. The sauce is what really got me as it was gelatinous. The dish itself didn't smell garlicky, nor any hints of wine or lemon in the aroma. It just smelled like plastic. One bite made it clear--that sauce was laden with starch. Who even puts starch in scampi to begin with?? The shrimp was good but I could not stomach the pasta. So, great, I paid $21.99 for 5 shrimp, an invisible salad, and garlic knots that didn't hold up to their reputation, in my opinion. My son's sandwich and fries were a generous portion but there was really nothing spectacular about any of it. Phew. I feel better now having gotten this off my chest. Now I have to rebuild some Yelp! karma and finally get around to reviewing all the amazing places the FTL metro area has to offer. In the meantime, lesson learned about ordering delivery from an "Italian" chain.

Great place for a quick lunch or a business meal. Good food, good service and great lunch specials. First time dining in I usually grab a large pizza to go. A little pricey but worth it.

Love love love this place! The food is amazing & so is the service. The pasta fagoili soup is my favorite thing here! They have delicious pizzas too. My kid loves to eat the pizzas here. I also love the variety of the salads & healthier options. They have lunch specials & pizza specials on Tuesdays. Any type of dessert is worth the calories! The service here is great. The waiters/waitresses are always attentive & extremely polite. I will definitely continue to visit this amazing place often

Very nice atmosphere. Seems to be a bit slow business-wise but they are clean and serve nice food. The prices are a little steeper than you would expect by first walking in. I ordered the Malibu chopped salad and it came in a raw pizza crust - presentation was great but the pizza crust didn't do anything for me. I would come back for a Stromboli or calzone.

Very good pizza and not too expensive. Plain cheese pizza was actually better than the pizza I had with toppings on it. Friendly staff and comfortable seating.

First time with a take out pizza. Way over priced, $17.83 with pepperoni. Too expensive and not in the same class as Ferro's or Pizza Time.

Pizza is always good and ready in no time flat. Whoever is the girl that answers the phone on a regular basis is awesome. Upbeat and nice. The chicken parm is so - so but I'll give another try sometime because the other food we've had was so far very good. Delivery is pretty slow but they are so easy to get to, save time and pick it up.

Karen Z.
I have only ever ordered delivery so I don't know what their dine-in atmosphere is like. Deliveries have always come within the amount of time that was stated. The food is always very good. Their pizza is delicious, and the pasta dishes are very well made. Prices are reasonable.

We decided to give this place a try as it was in our neighborhood. The coupon we received in the mail offered us a free large cheese pizza with any order over $15. We chose the Bella Rotella Penne with Chicken for $17. The menu boasted that this was a recipient of the 2008 American Cheesemaker Award. It came with 3 garlic rolls and a salad. The main dish was simply tasteless. It came with about 4 or 5 quarter size pieces of chicken breast. The garlic rolls must have been baked a week ago, and it had almost no taste of garlic. The pizza was oily on top and soggy at the bottom. We decided to mix the tasteless pasta from our doggy bag with a non-Italian leftover we had in the fridge to eat the next day. The remaining 2 stale garlic rolls my wife served to some dogs at a shelter where she volunteers. For that the dogs would have rated them 5 stars.

I went here for the $6.95 lunch special, which I could have a slice, 1/2 sandwich, and salad. That's awesome deal coming from NY. As for a taste of pizza, it's all right. Not the best in FL but they aren't total disaster, I even had crappier pizza in NY or Philly. Parking is easy though turning to the lot could be a little hectic.

I like lunch here when working in the area. 7.99 lunch special is half sandwich one slice of pizza and a soup. All good. They threw in some garlic rolls. Quick table service

The real reason you go here is for the lunch special. For $6.99 you get a salad, half a sub of your choice and a slice of pizza. Not to shabby. On this trip, I of course, had the lunch special. A Caesar salad, half a chicken parm sub, and a slice of cheese and an iced tea. The place was dead, which didn't surprise me since today is the day after the 4th and most people took it off to make a long weekend out of it. So you figure with the place being dead you would get some great service. Now, I don't know about you, but i have had a lot of Caesar salads in my life. So when I get a regular side salad with Caesar dressing on it I can tell the difference! So that was a little weird. The half sub was good and hot. Nothing to complain about here. Next for the slice....the slice...hey, where is my slice???!? They forgot about my slice! Now mind you there had to be only about 4 other tables including mine, so how do forget about one of your customers? Other than forgetting about my slice and trying to play a side salad off as a Caesar, it was the definition of a "Meh. I've experienced better." Would I go back - Maybe only because it is close to my work, but with other choices in the area it would only be for the special. Good - Price of lunch special Bad - Service

What a pleasant surprise. I had dined at another Rotelli location about a year ago, and vowed to not return, due to the lousy food and worse service. This new location is right near my office, and after a while, you run out of good places to go, so.... I can say that this location has absolutely nothing in common with my previously visited location. I ordered a tilapia dish that was out of this world. The garlic rolls were fantastic. Even the plain 'ol dinner salad with bleu was so fresh and crisp and good. Service was friendly and efficient. I will be back, for sure.

This place is middle of the road. Some of their italian fare is pretty decent, but their pizzas were unimpressive. The veggie sandwich is pretty much terrible. My staff enjoy the wraps and food, but again, they don't order pizza here. We still order regularly as delivery is usually lightning fast. The food is overall decent and the price is ok. Hopefully they continue to get better.

Enjoyed lunch here while on break from Gold Coast Real Estate school next door. We had a party of 12 from our class. The staff was quite accommodating to bring tables together to handle the large group. Everyone asked for separate checks and told the waiter, Gio, we had to be back in an hour. Menu had a good selection of lunch items, sandwiches, soups, salads and a few entrees....plus pizza! The atmosphere was pleasant. Gio was very attentive to all of us and the other staff were helpful when bringing out all the lunch selections. I had the chicken club wrap which was very good and reasonably priced. The others seemed to enjoy their lunches, which looked appetizing and smelled delicious. Next time, I'd like to try their pizza. Gio was a terrific, attentive and friendly waiter. Food came out in time and we made it back just in time.

I definitely enjoy the food here. Its really hard to find good food in Florida and this place is one of my faves. The only issue I have with them is that the people that pick up the phone are always different and never know what is on the menu. Hopefully that will change soon. They are also very pricey but I cant get enough of their specialty Nona Pizza, Arugula Flatbread and their Antipasto salad platter.

This is a new Rotelli location that just opened recently. We received some great coupon deals in the mail so thought we would check it out. The restaurant was really nice inside and the food was really good. When we go out for Italian, I almost always get Chicken or Veal Piccata and their Chicken Piccata was really good. I don't like when restaurants dip the chicken in batter like Francese style, and they don't do that here, so they get my vote! the staff was really friendly and the service was excellent.

Brandi J.
Good job Rotelli. Had lunch here yesterday & as always it was great! The office normally orders pizza, garlic bread & salads from here every other month or so for our new franchise training classes we put on, but today we decided to drop in. I ordered my usual ( Malibu salad with no bacon) add everything else. (greens, avocados, red onion, mozz cheese, tomatoes, grilled chicken & extra homemade vinaigrette. Mannnnn let me tell you.... this salad is on point! All the veggies are fresh & the vinaigrette is so you can drink it from the container. The salad comes in a round tin with fresh baked bread underneath & it is GOOD!!! (you have to save some of the vinaigrette to dip the bread in) This is my favorite from here....but I'm also a fan of the veggie pizza. I wasn't able to get a slice being that I was wayyyy to full so that might be my excuses to double back for it today. IJS ;) Sunny

They changed management around the fall of 2012. I'd been both before and after and I don't see a change. Food is generally bland, service is generally fine, interior is typical of a casual Italian restaurant. The pizza is thin and greasy. I was hoping it had all gotten better after the change, but it's just the same stuff. Go anywhere else.

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
