Their chicken parmigiana, meatball appetizers, and penne alla vodka are simply amazing. As someone with Italian heritage, I often find myself let down by the food quality at many Italian places, but this restaurant truly excels. Moreover, the staff who handle the phone orders are always incredibly friendly.

It definitely won’t be our last visit! To sum it up, the food was outstanding, and the hospitality was exceptional. We had such a delightful time on a school night that before we knew it, two and a half hours had passed without us even realizing! They say time flies when you're enjoying yourself, and when you pair that with delicious food and excellent service, you create unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend Bella Sera to all my friends and family! I can’t wait to return!

While the flavors were enjoyable, I was disappointed with the service. When spending this amount of money, I prefer not to feel rushed. Personally, I don’t think I’ll be returning. Although the food was decent, it didn’t quite meet my expectations, so I’ll rate it 4 stars.

I ordered the Orecchiette, which was supposed to have shrimp, but there were only about three tiny shrimp, roughly the size of dimes. The container also didn’t seem very full. My husband ordered the chicken parm, which came with just one piece of chicken and no pasta. While the food tasted good, it simply wasn’t worth the price we paid.

I’m sorry I don’t have any photos because the food was so delicious—we ate it too quickly to take any! The staff were friendly, and our meal arrived even earlier than expected. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be ordering from here again.
