Bella Cucina is a family-owned Tuscan style restaurant featuring freshly prepared dishes. I travel to Italy every other year to look for new ideas and presentations and, different ways to enhance the "old" recipes that have been in my wife's family for generations. With the "Specials" that we prepare, foremost is what is seasonal and available fresh; combine that with Chef Jesse's knack for creativity and presentation skills and you get a wonderful selection to choose from.

In addition to our traditional pasta meat entrees we serve seafood entrees using fresh-caught fish from Local purveyors. Many visitors to our area ask "where can we get GOOD seafood?" not realizing that right here in Southport the best seafood in Brunswick County is found at Bella Cucina.

To compliment our menu is an extensive Wine List with many reasonably priced Italian wines. Also, we have a full service bar with all permits so you can enjoy your favorite cocktail or drink. For a great dining experience in a comfortable, relaxing environment, presented by a talented and friendly wait-staff...you can't beat Bella Cucina.
