Ariella Restaurant Bistro & Bar

What an amazing all around experience we've had here at Ariella's! The quality of the food is bar none. You can't get anything like it anywhere else in the bowling green/russellville area. The colossal crab in the fettuccine with Parmesan cheese sauce was exquisite. The gazpacho was made from vine ripened tomatoes picked this morning and all the fresh veggies spooned on top were divine. I enjoy a martini with my meal and it was delicious and very reasonably priced. If anyone writes a negative review on this restaurant for any reason, they do not know current prices for quality food. The staff is always so helpful and attentive. The atmosphere is unique as it is in a historic building. Ariella's is definitely worth the drive for us.

My husband and I ate dinner from Ariella tonight. I ordered out because it's easier for us with young children (sp. Needs). I arrived and had a glass of amazing sweet red wine while I waited for our order. The environment was pristine. The staff was very helpful and attentive. I ordered the deep sea scallops W/ salad with the house dressing. It was all delicious. The presentation, thoughtfulness, fresh and quality seafood all really stood out. I would recommend this to any and everyone! Can't go wrong here!

Very clean and professional. Wonderful food. Great atmosphere. Great experience. 10/10 would come back again.

We came to the area for a wine weekend and asked a local winery for a great dinner recommendation. They pointed us to Ariella Restaurant Bistro & Bar, and it was the perfect choice. From start to finish, everything was outstanding! Amazing food, incredible service, and an atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Brea took exceptional care of us, and we highly recommend asking for her if you visit. But the best part...As we were enjoying the house wine and delicious dinner, we couldn't stop raving about the fresh, flavorful tomatoes. Out of the blue, the owner walked by, overheard our conversation, and shared that those tomatoes were locally grown and among the best around. Next thing we knew, we were sent home to Nashville with a bag of those same tomatoes....Talk about going the extra mile! In a time when service can sometimes feel impersonal, Deborah and her team at Ariella truly stand out. Deborah and her staff created a memorable experience that we'll be talking about and sending friends to visit for a long time. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would. Don't miss this place, you won't be disappointed. We'll definitely be back!

We go there often. They call us the shop teachers! Best crab cakes ever!!! Got proposed to right outside the restaurant and came in to celebrate wonderful place must go!

My third visit to Ariella. A delicious birthday celebration for hubby and me! We started with the Crabcake appetizer to share. As always, it was perfectly delicate breading filled with large lumps of fresh, sweet crab. The sauce is just spicy enough to excite without being overly hot. Then, we shared the Lobster Bisque. The texture is light, the flavor is full. The special of the night was Wagyu Filet with Scallop. Both his King cut and my Queen cut were served with mashed potatoes, roasted tomato, pepper and onions. We both selected the asparagus. Everything was perfection. Our steaks were truly, tenderly rare. Wagyu was an indulgence we enjoyed, as everything in our meal was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Service was prompt and attentive, with never an empty glass. We splurged on dessert to celebrate. His Carrot Cake satisfied a sweet craving, and I enjoyed, once again, coffee and Cannolis that remind me of the delicate treats I've enjoyed in larger cities. That's not common in this area. In all, another fabulous Ariella dinner.
