El Dorado Motel & Bella Casa Italian Restaurant

Huge Tasty Portions Made From Scratch - Amazingly Affordable With Great Service

The food here is the best in all of El Dorado, and I dare say compared to all of Wichita. Many of the ingredients are sourced locally (though this is not advertised as it should be!) and every dish is made from scratch by the chef after you order.

The restaurant recently underwent a huge renovation from top to bottom so it looks great. The owners have been here for almost 40 years and the chef really knows what she's doing. You only need to come once and she'll remember you forever, including what you ordered the last time. The crazy thing is she never writes anything down!

The pasta is amazing and the salads are awesome. The chef uses fresh fruits and locally farm-grown vegetables for just the right amount of flavor and crunch. The bread is made from scratch and the pizza (dough and sauce also made from scratch) is phenomenal.

If you eat appetizer, main course and dessert, you would think it could come out to a huge bill, but I've managed to get out of here for less than $15! Once the chef gets to know you, usually the salad and dessert become free without her even saying anything.

Fantastic Food. Truly a hidden Gem. Never ending glass of tea. The chef grows their own herbs on-site.

Good sized portions. Lots of fresh baked bread. Quiet enough for conversation. Seems to be yet undiscovered. friendly waitress.

This place is out of date and my door would not even shut all the way. I told the guy about it and he looked at it and SLAMED the door before it even latched. I would hate to have to my neighor when the door was slamed! Anyway if you want a quick night of rest for cheap this is not a cheap place either.... For what it was your better off sleeping in your car at the Lake.
