Owners Julie and Tony Fleck have shared the following: "It has been an incredible honor and privilege to serve this community for 26 years. We want to thank each and every guest, family member, employee, vendor, and supporter who have been a part of our journey. Our restaurant was built on love, passion, and a commitment to quality, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished together! Though this is a difficult decision, it’s time for a new chapter, and we’re forever grateful for the memories we’ve created. Bella’s means "beautiful" in Italian. We want everyone to feel the beauty in the food, atmosphere, and the people. That theme will continue with Bella’s Catering."

Founded by the Flecks in 1998, Bella’s has been more than just a place to eat — it has been a gathering spot for friends and families, a venue for special occasions, and a key part of the local community. Many guests have returned time and again, building lifelong connections and memories. Bella’s has won the Chamber Business of the Year, Julie Fleck was named the Chamber Person of the Year, and they have earned the awards of best service, favorite Italian restaurant, and many others. A few fun facts about Bella’s: we have made over 220,000 gallons of marinara, 54,000 slices of carrot cake, donated over $1 million dollars toward the community, and catered over 5,300 events!

Bella’s will continue catering to all events including weddings, corporate events, sports teams, family gatherings, sales rep luncheons, holiday parties, just to name a few. In addition, they will be renting out rooms at the restaurant location for any type of meeting, rehearsal dinner, shower, bachelor or bachelorette parties, etc. and will have some of Bella’s favorites as well as new limited selections available. Other style events will be planned in the future.

As Bella’s prepares to close its doors on November 30, 2024, the team encourages our guests to come by at least one more time to enjoy their favorite dishes and share memories with the staff. The restaurant will continue to operate with normal hours until the final day of service. All bookings for December 2024 are as planned and all 2025 events will remain as planned.

The official and upcoming Bella’s Catering menu will be released and uploaded to the website in the coming weeks.

Thank you,

Julie & Tony Fleck

Owner for 26 years
