We regularly come to Bella Cucina for sandwiches and pasta staples. Based on the food, which we enjoy, we reached out to them to cater our wedding. My husband spoke to two different people at the establishment and provided details on what we needed and for how many people. We were quoted an estimate and told to pick up on the day of the wedding- all sounded great. We called another time to add an item after the fact since we thought we hand the monetary bandwidth, given the original estimate.
On the day of the wedding when the food was picked up, the price we were charged was DOUBLE what we were quoted. The additional item added after the first call shouldn't cause the price to go so high.
Based on the pricing we went with this vendor instead of other vendors. It was a huge shock for the price change, definitely not ideal as it was THE DAY of the wedding so we had no choice but to pay for the food and move forward.
My husband called Bella Cucina and spoke with a few different people to try to get a better understanding of why there was such a price difference between what we were quoted and then what the price was upon pick up. We weren't asking for a deal or any special treatment, but double the price is a big change and something that should be explained. We were not provided an itemized receipt.
The food is good, just be super duper clear on your order. We had a receipt (hand written on yellow receipt paper) showing the original estimated price and then a receipt for the charge (double the price) after using our credit card...even with the handwritten estimate the price wasn't the same on pick up.

Favorite place for cheesesteaks. They also have a good selection for quick dinners.

Very disappointed with the sandwiches, they we're out of steak for cheesrsteak, no veal or chicken scallopini. Not much selection in the store itself. Italian hoagie was sup par at best. Chicken cutlet was maybe average. Had higher expectations based on reviews. Good parking, probably will not return.
