Bella Trattoria

“I had a 12:30 reservation on Saturday and, as always, had an amazing experience. I've been here several times before, but this time I brought my boyfriend's family. Our server was very friendly, attentive, and generous with their time helping us. They brought us complimentary bread with tomato dip. The bread is super fresh and soft! My boyfriend and I love their raspberry panna cotta with balsamic glaze. This time, they had a new caramel lavender flavor, which was also good. Our favorite dishes were the Pasta Norcina, Cavoletti, Carbonara Sbagliata, and Marrcune ca vodka. Every time I've come here, the food quality and service have been consistent. We'll definitely be back!”

“We had the most wonderful service from the twin duo: John and Kevin today! They were attentive, gracious, courteous, and friendly. They recommended choices for us, Salatina gnocchi, carbonara, and the vodka pasta. The food was hot delicious and we definitely will come back.”

“Delicious! Be sure to make a reservation during peak dining hours because its popular and fills up. I ordered the Margherita pizza - cooked in a wood fired oven and topped with fresh Genovese basil leaves. Paired nicely with a glass of Barbera d'Alba. Also, in this review is the butternut squash fettuccini with roasted Brussel sprouts, Pecorino, shaved garlic and balsamic vinegar drizzle. Paired with a glass of Viognier, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay blend. The restaurant is located in a residential neighborhood, so if you're a tourist your bus/rideshare will pass by this place on the way to or from the de Young museum. Oh, and don't forget housemade desserts - Yum :) Great service and clean bathrooms too.”

“The food was amazing and fresh! The service was prompt and they went the extra mile when something didn't go as planned. We received extra delightful foods courtesy of the chef which was a thoughtful surprise! We sat in the front room by the bar which was a bit loud and cool, but there is another room I would want to try sitting in next time. There are options for gluten free and they ask about food allergies right away. The martini expresso was perfect! I can't wait to go back and try more! The experience took us back to Rome with the food!”

“Went later in the night since they close at 10pm. Nice ambiance with dim lighting. Service was pretty good. Appetizers: I thought the complimentary bread felt nice and soft, but the gf felt it was old and cold compared to hot & buttery bread served at other restaurants. Next, the Bruschetta ca' pummarola tasted the best out of all the orders. Main: We went with the three course prix fixe meal: 1. Swordfish Carpaccio Antipasti tasted... interesting; like salty dried fish, maybe not our taste? 2. When the Squid Ink Fettuccine and Salmon Fettuccini came with "a lot of plate", the portion initially looked small, but there was actually a good amount of pasta there. But flavor for both was lacking and quite salty; we could not finish it due to the sodium. 3. Panna cotta - it was okay. Overall 3/5 for the food. I bookmarked this place awhile back and was glad to try it, but will likely not return.”
