La Bella Trattoria on Rush sits at the corner of Rush and Erie Streets in River North, styled after the neighborhood trattorias of Italy. The kitchen works from a menu of handcrafted pastas and classic Italian dishes built for sharing, alongside Neo-Neapolitan pizzas made with 24-hour cold-fermented dough, Italian flour, Sicilian sea salt, and imported olive oil, baked at around 540°F.
The room is set up to cover a range of occasions — family dinners, date nights, happy hour, lunch, and group gatherings — with catering and private events also on offer. It's part of Roanoke Hospitality, whose portfolio includes Altezza Rooftop, an open-air bar on the building's 21st floor serving cocktails, small plates, and skyline views in the style of Italian aperitivo culture.
Regulars and visitors alike single out the service and atmosphere, and the spot has built a following among tourists and out-of-town guests looking for a lively, welcoming Italian dinner in the heart of River North.
