In Short – Popular with Galveston Island locals, this dimly lit family eatery offers traditional comfort-food fare. With family photos and memorabilia on the walls, red-checkered tablecloths and high-backed wooden booths, the atmosphere is relaxed. The menu includes Italian-American favorites such as eggplant Parmesan, chicken piccata and fettucini Alfredo as well as pork chops, seafood entrees and tasty steaks. Reservations recommended on weekends.

Wonderful local Italian food
by CSMobileUser
I've enjoyed DiBellas on several occasions. The food is most excellent as well is the service. The atmosphere can't be beat! A real, old school Italian restaurant. As my date put it, "I thought Tony Soprano himself would walk in the door any minute!" The food was a tad pricey, but very good. I definitely enjoyed the experience and I will be returning!

Far below average

I'll start off by saying I never write reviews, but after reading everyone else?s reviews and then going to the restaurant I felt I needed to correct an unrealistic expectation these other ratings created.
The atmosphere was great and the service good, but the food was lacking in every aspect and overpriced for what we received.
The salad was a typical salad out of a bag - iceberg lettuce with a few additions thrown in and a choice of ranch or Italian dressing straight from Hidden Valley, and the garlic bread I am guessing had been recently thawed from its Sara Lee packaging.
Our appetizer of crab claws in a creamy wine garlic sauce ? which sounds great right? ? were tough and stringy, not to mention the proportions of ingredients they used to make the sauce were so off they created more of a chemical taste than anything pleasant.
The main courses, fairly basic, pasta with a cream sauce and grilled shrimp, the pasta I?ll admit was ok but the sauce too heavy and the shrimp had more of a tex-mex marinade and a smoky grilled flavor that really just did not go with Italian flavors of the dish.
Overall disappointed. Quite frankly I am tired of paying too much for bad food. This island has some far better choices for dining available, and I suggest you take a chance and find them.
- Pros: Atmosphere, Service
- Cons: Food
