Bella Brutta in Newtown nails the sweet spot between laid-back and polished. We started with their woodfired sourdough and butter — simple, smoky, and addictive — followed by a fresh, well-balanced crudo. The mortadella pizza was a standout, with a perfectly blistered base and silky, savory toppings that melted together beautifully.
To finish, the tiramisu was light, boozy, and classic, while the cannoli brought crisp shells and creamy filling. Great food, genuine hospitality, and that irresistible wood-fired magic — Bella Brutta is a Newtown gem worth returning to.
