Bella Napoli, Miami

Bella Napoli pizzeria fills the air with the aroma of New York–style pizzas, Italian heroes, and pastas. Chefs fling wads of dough into the air and spin them into thin crusts using the hand-tossing techniques and family recipes that have endured for more than 30 years. Bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking staffers then ferry out pizzas by the pie or slice to the dining room, which evokes a traditional neighborhood Italian eatery with its dark mauve tablecloths, red and gold accents, and portals to Naples on the wall. They also whisk out bruschetta, toasted meatball heroes, fettuccine carbonara, and veal parmigiana to hungry patrons.
