  • I stopped by here last night with my fiance for dinner. I have been by this place many times before as it sits right near the entrance to my old high school stadium where I still run quite a bit and somehow I have never though to go here. That's probably because it really isn't much to look at from the outside and it shares the building with a beer distributor on the other side. Anyways, I was looking at Yelp the other day and saw someone post some good things about it and decided, man, I should probably head there. So my fiance and I decided to walk in not really knowing what to expect. The inside is a decent looking space with 8 tables (I counted because there was one waitress) and then a counter. Its only problem being that it looks very dated, like it was probably put in about 30 years ago dated. That's not to say it was too bad since it still looked and felt clean. Above the counter there is also a TV which had both the Pirates game and then preseason Steelers game on it while we there. For dinner I decided to go with one of there specials for the evening and ordered the bourbon bbq bacon pork chop which came with potato pancakes and a salad. Whenever I asked if they had a vinaigrette, the server actually gave me a choice of three from which I chose the balsamic. Before our salads came to the table our waitress brought us some bread which looked to be covered in some sort of oil and covered in cheese. It was excellent as the oil had some garlic in it and the bread was a little crispy. We ended up eating it all up before our salads came and our waitress asked if we wanted some more with our dinner which we readily agreed to. Our salads weren't bad as they had some darker looking lettuce and none of the iceberg that you normally find. They also were topped with onions, tomato and olives. The overall taste of them wasn't too bad although I thought that my vinaigrette was a bit sweet. After we finished our salads our meals were brought out. My pork chop was thick but not very large, wrapped in bacon and had the BBQ sauce on top as promised. The potato pancakes were also on the plate as well as some carrots and broccoli which was a surprise to me since they weren't mentioned. I will admit that I don't like cooked carrots much so I won't really comment on them but the broccoli was decent and tasted a little of butter. My potato pancakes were surprisingly good as they had some spices in them that made them interesting and actually made me regret getting some sour cream with them since it covered up the flavor a bit. Finally my pork chop was also pretty good. I could really taste the sweetness of the bourbon in the BBQ sauce and it went great with the saltiness of the bacon. My pork chop was also cooked pretty well although some of it was a bit dry. Overall though it was a successful meal. I have to admit that I was also very impressed with the waitress as she was waiting on seven tables at a time and never really seemed to be in the weeds. Granted everyone straggled in at different times but I still found it to be impressive. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My only real complaint with Bella Ria's is that I think we paid a little much for what we ended up getting ($17 for the special I think). Even so, I did enjoy my meal and know that my fiance did as well.
