“ Nothing but great food, nice employees, and decent prices at this Italian spot. I genuinely cannot complain at all. The calamari is extremely fresh- crunchy on the outside and not too chewy; add in the marinara on the side is delicious. The dinner portions are very good considering the price; I get at least 2 nights worth of dinners out of one! The Caesar salad dressing is so good- you can tell is homemade which makes it even better. Overall, worth the money every time! ”
“ I’ve been going to Bella pasta for years & never have any complaints. Great atmosphere, wonderful food, good drinks and awesome service. I have yet to have a bad meal! My family and I are regulars for lunch and look forward to coming in on Wednesdays with my mom and sister & having Amy as our server. She’s the best!! ”
“ This is my go to spot. The food and service are always excellent and tonight was no exception . Called yesterday and Made a reservation for my birthday dinner the “big 40” . When we ( a party of 5) arrived tonight we got there a half hour early . We went to the bar and after 10 minutes I noticed the place starting to fill up so I decided to check in . The hostess couldn’t find my reservation . We went through a few names but none were mine. I even looked on my phone when I had called the day before to double check. She was more than accommodating and said she would totally get us in. After another 15 minutes at the bar she came and grabbed us and seated us. It was amazing service and quick thinking and she’s very good at her job. ”
“ Outstanding food and friendly efficient service. Food comes out fairly quick. Nice cold beer and other drinks. The "Bella Pasta" special with chicken is outstanding! Many great food choices are here. Everyone in our party loved their food and drinks. Nice kids' menu/meals, too. Highly recommended! Another great dinner for us on Valentine's Day. I had a problem with my dish being over salty. It was quickly remade. The owner Randy came over to our table, apologized, and really took care of us. Outstanding! This is what is missing in so many restaurants today. Customer service! We will go back. Highly recommended again! ”
“ Very good food. I had the stuffed shells, soup, and bread. My boyfriend had the lasagna. 10/10.. loved it. The sausage and potato soup was so delicious! Warm bread and cheesy stuffed shells. Good food. I would eat here again! ”
“ We had Bella Pasta cater our wedding this past weekend and it was absolutely amazing! They helped so much with the planning and offering suggestions for what food to get so that all of our guests would be happy. The staff who delivered the food and helped during dinner were so nice and accommodating and all of our guests told us how much they loved the food. If you’re getting married or have an event you need catered I can’t recommend them enough!! ”
“ Great food, large portions, excellent service! The seafood dishes are very tasty, with tender scallops cooked just right. Our waitress was super-attentive, checking up on us regularly, and this place is large enough to not feel like you're elbow to elbow with others. ”
“ Dude, I gotta say, I hit up Bella Pasta at least twice a month. Every time, I get such a warm welcome. The service is killer, always spot-on. The food tastes fresh, seasonal, perfectly seasoned, and totally authentic. Honestly, my fave dish is the chicken French with a Caesar salad. First, they bring out this Caesar salad—crispy, creamy, tangy, savory, classic, and so satisfying—then comes the chicken french. The pasta's perfectly al dente. It's that Italian-American, Rochester-style, egg-battered, lemon-infused, golden-crusted, savory goodness. And to finish it off, they suggest the tiramisu. It's heavenly—creamy, decadent, coffee-infused, sweet, layered, rich, and totally indulgent. The staff is always checking on you, cracking jokes, and smiling. It's just such a welcoming place. So Bella Pasta, thank you for being so genuine. Stay blessed!!! ”
