Jake Imperiale opened Bella Napoli to meet KC's need for a place with the ambiance of a true Italian ristorante, classic Italian recipes, the finest imported market goods, and a renowned wine list. Under the guidance of his Italian-native mother, and heavily influenced by his travels throughout Italy, Jake Imperiale opened Bella Napoli in 2001 to meet Kansas City’s need for authentic Italian food,

wine and market goods. Jake hand selects each product for Bella’s deli and market and every item is imported from Italy. Wander across the room and you’ll be immersed in an atmosphere as authentically Italian as it gets. An integral element of Bella Napoli, the pizzeria offers a variety of traditional Italian dishes. At Bella Napoli, the ambiance of a true Italian ristorante, classic Italian recipes, warm friendly service and a renowned wine list culminate in an Italian dining experience you’re sure to fall in love with.

Could rain. Could be sunny. Could be 72°. Could be 92°.

Typical 'MidBest' weekend forecast.

Bella's part is easy: authentic Neapolitan pizza, handmade pasta, wines from small Italian vineyards, and imported cheeses, olive oils, cured meats, and other ingredients hand-selected by Jake and sourced directly from Italy.

Whatever the weather decides to do, we'll be over here focused on the good things. Come see us! 🇮🇹🍕🍷🍝

🍕 Mondays are $10 Pizza Night at Bella Napoli!
Pro tip: Neapolitan pizza isn't about piling on toppings. It's about a tender, bubbly crust, simple ingredients, and recipes rooted in Naples, Italy—the birthplace of pizza. Authentic Neapolitan pizza is known for its light, airy dough, soft center, and beautifully charred edges—crafted to let every ingredient shine.
Lucky for you, every pizza is just $10, every Monday! Come see us! 🇮🇹

Summer cooking starts here. 🇮🇹☀️ If you’ve ever wondered why food tastes different in Italy… a lot of it starts with the olive oil and balsamic. At Bella, every olive oil and balsamic in our market is hand-selected by Jake and imported from Italy — the real deal, chosen for flavor, quality, and the kind of meals that don’t need much else.

Peppery extra virgin olive oils. Rich aged balsamics. The bottles you drizzle over caprese salads, finish grilled peaches with, swirl into pasta, dip warm bread into, splash over watermelon and feta, or use to turn simple grilled vegetables into dinner. 🍅🍑🥖

This is the season for simple food done well — and there’s no better place to stock your summer kitchen. 🍷

🍇WINE DINNER THIS SUNDAY! Some places don’t just make wine — they carry centuries of stories in every bottle. 🍷🇮🇹

Founded in 1089, Badia di Morrona began as a Benedictine abbey nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany. Today, under the stewardship of the Gaslini Alberti family, the estate remains one of the great treasures of the Pisa countryside -- producing elegant, award-winning wines, exceptional olive oils, and an authentic expression of Tuscan tradition rooted in craftsmanship, history, and the unmistakable soul of Italy.

Join us for an evening featuring the wines of Badia di Morrona alongside a thoughtfully paired dinner inspired by the flavors of Tuscany. From exceptional vino to stories of the estate’s thousand-year history, this is more than a wine dinner -- it’s a taste of old-world Italy shared around the table, the Bella way.

Chefs Daisi and David have crafted a menu designed to move seamlessly with the wines — from bright and vibrant to layered and complex — finishing with a sweet elegant close.

The Memory Board will be printed as a keepsake for Jake, and this is the last chance to be part of it. 👉 Add your photos here: https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/3BJgnEs7
