   Terrible food. Fried Calamari was not crispy. Food came out cold. I ordered the ink squid pasta and the noodles were stuck together as it absorbed however much sauce was in there. We waited forever between appetizers and entrees. Server seemed nervous, like it was his first day on the job. He was polite but just slow to come by to welcome us to his table. The girl who dropped off the bread was the first we saw after the host walked us to the table, she didn’t even say hi. For what they charge, I expected decent food. I didn’t send my food back because we would have to wait another hour for it. Will not return, and not recommended.

   Good vibe , good view, decent service, decent food. Bread took 20 min to arrive even though table next to us got seated after and they got their bread first. Complimentary cake for bday. 20% tip added automatically for table of 5 (their menu says 6+)

   Katelyn was outstanding— super sweet!! we had the lasagna and a spicy pasta dish— both were delicious! We had a pizza lovers pizza for an appetizer and it was so good!! We highly recommend this restaurant if you’re visiting Riverside. if you happen to have Katelyn wait your table— your visit will be top notch!!

   During the festival lights event the menu is very limited and there was not red meat options except for Lasagna from what I could see. Overall, I did enjoy the experience and service.

   Pizza is tasty as well as pesto pasta. Tiramisu was yummy.. spicy pasta was watery and not spicy.. lacked flavor. Ok meal,.. nothing spectacular. Decent ambience.

   I recently dined at Bella Trattoria, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance is nothing short of magical, with a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere that instantly transports you to Italy. Every detail, from the warm lighting to the elegant décor, is perfectly curated to create a memorable dining experience. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our server made excellent recommendations and ensured our meal was flawless. And the food? Absolutely divine. The pasta was cooked to perfection, the sauces were rich and flavorful, and the dessert was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. I can’t wait to return and try more from their menu. Highly recommended for a romantic night out or a special occasion!
