Abella. Abella means “Able” in Italian. When considering my dining experience at Abella Italian Kitchen. I think they forgot the rest of it, because LaughABLE comes to mind first– especially when it comes to the quality of the food. Some of the reviews on the internet confuse me, as the “veal”, I believe, came likely from the hindquarters of a local Wilsonville stray, and somehow they found a way to make something out of milk and pepper LOOK like a cannelloni.
Like the other reviews online, the service is spotty. A person I can only assume who is the owner appeared after I advised the person offering a go-box to take the food away because I honestly advised, “it’s terrible.”
“How do you like the food?”, he asked.
The only answer I could think of is “Are you serious?” I advised that it was unexpectedly bad, of course, given the price, and he curtly offered a “I’m sorry to hear that” and the rest of the staff proceeded to make us as uncomfortable as possible until we left.
It’s right across the way from a Red Robin and a Taco Bell, and both offer better service and food quality. Save yourself from having to immediately brush your teeth and stay the hell away from this greasy spoon.
