    It was very nice. Other than my fish was a tiny bit raw on the end. It was very good. The waitress said she would give me a new piece. I was fine it was just a little bit on the end. Everything else was very good.

    I recently dined at Bella Trattoria, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance is nothing short of magical, with a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere that instantly transports you to Italy. Every detail, from the warm lighting to the elegant décor, is perfectly curated to create a memorable dining experience. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our server made excellent recommendations and ensured our meal was flawless. And the food? Absolutely divine. The pasta was cooked to perfection, the sauces were rich and flavorful, and the dessert was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. I can’t wait to return and try more from their menu. Highly recommended for a romantic night out or a special occasion!

    Was looking for a place to have dinner before an event. Found this place and we had a great time. Plenty of space at the time we went so we sat at the bar. Bartender was super attentive and friendly. Drinks came out kick and they were delicious. We had all appetizers but everything had flavor. The octopus was our favorite. Would come again.

    I was there for a brunch with five other of my girlfriends. We had a great time. Our server was Caroline she was absolutely amazing. She was patient with us she wasn't rushing us. And at the end of the day I had placed a cash envelope with $700 on the table taking it out of my purse meaning to put it back in my purse and I forgot it. We had even left the restaurant and I had gone to the parking garage to get my car and as I was loading up the rest of my girlfriends she came running out and returned the money envelope to me! Caroline is not only an amazing server she's also an amazing person! There are still good people in this world!!!
