Bella's Italian Grille opened its door for the first time in 1999 in Downtown Celina, Ohio. The restaurant began with a crew of four part-time and two full-time employees, including Owner Julie Cole and Chef Mike McLeland. In addition to many new employees, Julie's husband, Tony Fleck, their daughter Maddie and Julie's mother Nancy Otis have joined the Bella's crew.

In April of 2002, Bella's took a step forward and moved to 1081 West Bank Road, formerly Welch's Restaurant. In three day's time, the West Bank location was renovated, inside and out, with the help of employees, friends, and family of Julie and Tony. We at Bella's would like to thank you for voting us "Best Area Dining Experience and Service."  We hope to see you soon.
