Bella Banquets, a luxurious catering hall filled with winding staircases, sparkling chandeliers, rich carpeting and a shiny grand piano, opened its rich, dark wood doors on a busy strip of La Grange Road in 20o9. It's mother-company, Via Bella restaurant, did business in downtown La Grange starting in 1995 and now stands adjacent to Bella Banquets, providing authentic Italian dishes for weddings and other banquet events at Bella Banquets. The hall serves the community and their neighbors well - several owners of Via Bella and Bella Banquets live in the La Grange area, including two who live in Countryside.
