What Thomas Reiche doesn't like about Bella Notte:
The setting really wasn’t what was advertised online. Expected a little more fine dining experience. Felt like we were sitting in the corner with a constant flow of people walking past. Did not enjoy the atmosphere of the place. The food was just average. Little disappointing to be honest. View all feedback. What Nathan likes about Bella Notte:
The in-person experience was great but I was upset to receive an update for my reservation request just 90 minutes before the reservation saying they wouldn’t be able to accommodate my request for the special occasion. View all feedback.

Bella Notte, a popular Italian restaurant, received mixed reviews from diners. While some praised the unique and delicious food offerings, as well as the excellent service provided by their waitstaff, others were disappointed with the inconsistencies in food temperature and portion size. Despite the varied experiences, Bella Notte still remains a favorite for many diners, especially for special occasions. Some recommended dishes include the penne fresco with extra garlic and the flavorful entrees. Overall, Bella Notte offers a pleasant dining experience, with a few areas that could use improvement.

Good food at good prices. Would leave the radishes off the Bruschetta Primavera. To strong a taste that diminished the overall flavor of the dish.
