About

Aside from our store, we are pleased to provide several services. We organize private Italian lessons (in person or online), we perform translations from English to Italian and vice versa (Lorena is the only northern Nevada translator listed with the jurisdictional Italian Consulate - Los Angeles).

We have been doing this service since 2009 and have several loyal students that have a fun learning experience and we have fun with them.

We are proud to say that our services are very affordable. Do not hesitate to contact us, for more info.

I love languages, I love my native language and I love to share it with those that are eager to learn or just want to know a little of it.

I have lots of fun and so do my students :)

Lorena is a great teacher. She is a native from Italy so I learn many of the common words that are actually used in conversation. I also like the flexibility of being able to go at a time that is convenient for me.

Lorena is patient. I struggled with the language but she always had a positive attitude and an encouraging word. She was flexible in course material (recipes and childrens books) and when I needed to change appointments because of my work schedule. If I was still in the area I would still be learning with her (that has everything to do with me as student and not her abilities as a teacher). I highly recommend her service.

I felt like family from the moment I arrived, and I still do! Getting Italian lessons from Lorena made our trip to Italy even more amazing. I highly reccomend Bella Italia for their many services, you wont be sorry!

I cant wait to go back for more lessons & travel advice for my next trip!
