Beautifully decorated, with a giant twinkle light covered tree at the center, open kitchen that you see as your going to your table the sights and smells hit you as soon as you walk in..
The menu is Huge!
I chose a seasonal special the pork cattachori, served over gargonzola and polenta added green bean almondine and buttermilk and chive mashed potatoes… They start you off with a personal load of bread right out of the oven with dipping oil seasoned perfectly… Each bite was better than the last… I took their recommendation on a bottle of Pinot and was glad I did…
The manager was making her rounds and I told her it was my first time there and she said I’ll have your server bring you our dessert menu.. choose whatever you like…it’s on the house!!!
So I picked the chocolate nemesis cake… OMG unbelievable!
So happy I found this gem!
Highly recommend!!
The food was really good but I’m not a fan of the oil served with the bread. I feel serving a ladle of sauce with the bread would be a great way for customers to try the sauce and wouldn’t be costly. Also, the water had a really funky taste.
Overall, I recommend trying this place if you like
Italian food.
Meals come with a nice warm loaf of bread and some dipping oil.
Great food lots of options, nice staff, good date night spot and always clean too.
The bread and oil with herbs was delicious and freshly cooked for us. It was so warm and cozy in my stomach. I had a special that they had made. That was a fettuccine noodle with a Parmesan white wine, reduction and beef tips. It was phenomenal. It also had some chili flakes on it, which gave it a nice perfect kick. It was so flavorful which I did not expect. I also really appreciated that even though they aren’t a steakhouse, they asked how I wanted my beef cooked and did a perfect job of cooking it exactly correctly! Even some steak houses don’t get the temperature right, but Bella Notte did!!
We also had some cocktails (appletini and brunette sangria) and wine, and we really enjoyed the drink selection as well as the dessert that we had, which was the Panna Cotta. Everything that we ate was delicious.
Our server was very kind and friendly and super attentive. He was quick to help us and very understanding when we needed a few extra minutes to make a decision versus when we had a quick decision and was helpful to clear our table when there were things we were done with.
The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. It is a rustic decor with wooden toned walls, plant decor, and warm, cozy lighting. It is actually beautiful and a great way to immerse yourself in a lovely environment, especially during autumn and winter. The music selection was also great. Experience was just a great night and we had a beautiful evening and lovely dinner.
