Discover our story
Little Bella is the darker, late-night sister to Bella Limone—a subterranean escape where handmade dough, bright tomatoes, and uncompromising wine do the talking. Pull up a chair for brick-oven pizza, Italian small plates, and a soundtrack curated for the midnight crowd.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
LOW LIGHTS. FULL GLASSES. LATE NIGHTS.
Downstairs from Bella Limone, Little Bella’s is where the night really starts. A curated wine list, brick-oven pies, and a room made for the kind of dinner that turns into a second bottle.
A GLASS-FIRST APPROACH
DRINK WHAT YOU WANT. NOT WHAT’S LEFT.
Our wine list is built for discovery—handpicked bottles, by-the-glass pours that change weekly, and zero pretension. Whether you’re starting with a crisp white or ending with a bold red, we’ve got something worth lingering over.
Meet the Chef
THE MAN BEHIND THE OVEN.
Chef Kwontrell Stowers came up in some of Michigan’s best kitchens — most recently as Chef de Cuisine at Birmingham’s acclaimed Adachi. At Little Bella’s, he brings that same precision and passion downstairs: handmade dough, honest ingredients, and a 900-degree brick oven doing what it does best.
THE OVEN
PIZZAS
Handmade dough. San Marzano tomatoes. A 900-degree oven. Our pizzas are Neapolitan-style with a Detroit attitude—crisp edges, chewy center, and toppings that don’t quit. Order one for the table, or don’t share. We won’t judge.
bella’s best Pies & Plates
Our brick oven pizzas and Italian small plates are handmade daily—the pies with crisp edges and blistered crusts, the plates with bright flavors that beg to be shared.
Scroll through Bella’s best pies and plates, each one crafted for late nights downstairs.
