Solo Bella is one of the best family-operated traditional Italian BYOB restaurants in Jackson, NJ.

It is located in an attractive stand-alone building. As you to enter the lobby area there is an inviting vibe where seating and deli cases are filled with gourmet Italian food products and freshly baked desserts.

There are two dining rooms, and the decor in the main dining room is pleasant and soft, with earth-toned walls, burgundy drapes, soft lighting, and candlelit tables.

The reason you come to Solo Bella is the fresh home-style prepared southern Italian food -- at a very attractive price. They serve up gargantuan portions of food with fresh ingredients

The menu caters to Italian family traditions, and if you are a first —or second-generation Italian, you will enjoy the Sunday special. Everyone at the table eats and shares the same antipasti, salad, pastas, entrees, desserts, and coffee preparations from what "Mama Cooks." You will leave with "doggie bags" of food!

They feature an excellent wood-fired oven thin-crust pizza with the bottom crust crispy and slightly charred. This ensures that fresh ingredients, especially plum tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil, maintain their moisture and freshness.

Each night, there is also a daily special with attractive prices

Solo Bella tends to get a little noisy in the main dining room when the restaurant is crowded.

In the warmer summer months, there is outdoor dining on the deck

They are open Wednesday - Sunday for lunch & dinner.

Family and child friendly.
