   Pasta was cooked to perfection, the sun dried tomatoes tasted a bit burnt but overall a good meal that I would definitely revisit. Good service and a great amaretto sour!

   David was a wonderful waiter! So warm and embracing. He suggested a perfect wine for dinner. And he seemed very passionate about the menu and wanted to make sure that we were all pleased. It couldn’t have been a better first experience. The chicken Parmesan and the swordfish special was delicious! We also ordered the meatball appetizer which was a highlight! We can’t wait to go back and try something new! Thank you, David , for making our first experience so great!!!!

   Fabulous experience at Bella's. The staff was so friendly and fun, the food and drinks were delicious, the ambiance was cozy and I look forward to returning. Parking was difficult on a Friday night so I would recommend Uber. Book a table now!

   Authentic. Great gnocchi. Nice people. Also like that they offer two dining rooms, one is more homey, the other energetic.

   Great service for our birthday lunch. Really respectful and timely wait staff and the food was a hit with everyone. Lot of options across the board and accommodations for vegetarians/vegans as well! Lovely spot 🍝

   Really accommodating to meet some dietary needs even though it was not straightforward on their menu, they made it work. Little extras such as free samplers and every staff caring about our experience.

   Came here for our Anniversary/ Valentine's Day dinner and we were disappointed to say the least. The service was great for the most part but the food was extremely mediocre for the price range. For a $300 course you can definitely find a better place for Italian food. Our food was served cold and had to ask to reheat. For our appetizer we got the crab cake that was extremely fishy and the wagyu which tasted like nothing. We got the lobster ravioli and the oxtail lasagna and it was lacking flavor and heat. It seemed like our server knew we were disappointed after asking to reheat our dish nicely and with no bad taste or attitude, the service lacked a bit after that. He made great conversation with the table next to us but didn't even bother to ask us how anything was before just handing us the check. I do want to say he did offer to bring me a different appetizer but out of courtesy I respectfully declined. The ambiance was great and the romantic setting was nice for the ocassion, staff was really nice and welcoming. All in all this place definitely did not meet our standards in what an expensive dinner is but that's all personal preference. Definitely think there's better elsewhere ! Kind of regret spending $300 and not enjoying a single thing we ordered except the pistachio gelato ! Service is as fantastic but food was disappointing.

    We ate at Bella Trattoria on Friday, Feb 8th (2025). Our reservation was for 7PM, but they were extermely busy and we did not get seated until 7:25PM. They apologized and comped us some Prosecco for keeping us waiting. I had the prix fixe menu, starting with the fagioli e scarole soup (a bitter greens stew with beans and crostini), a main course of Osso Bucco, and fnishing with the panna cotta. Everything was excellent. I tried my dining companions' dishes, Amatriciana (yummy!), and Sorrentina (the most delicate gnocci I've ever had). We will go back.
