What People Are Saying About Bella Notte

Citysearch

In Short – This small, dark restaurant is romantic early on, turning noisy and hectic during prime time, when crowds of families and takeout diners settle in at tables or wait at the bustling bar. Large portions (and convenient half portions) of reasonably priced southern Italian fare are the draw; bowls of pasta are dished out tableside. Dishes include veal chop Siciliana in tomato and onion, and pasta plates like homemade rigatoni in vodka-tomato-cream sauce.

Unequal treatment??

by khugh2 at Citysearch

After a relaxing experience at a local spa, we went to Bella Notte because it was close by. Immediately upon entering the establishment, my mood turned sour. Rather than a "good evening" or a friendly gesture from the guy at the host desk (likely the manager or owner), he asks us "What's up guys?" as though we stopped in to ask for directions or something. Hmmm...what else would we be doing there other than eating?? I had an inkling of the reason for his rudeness, but I continued to watch him closely throughout the evening (with a scathing look, btw) to confirm my suspicions. Turns out, my inkling was pretty accurate. It became apparent that we were the only minority couple in the establishment and the other patrons received far different and friendlier treatment from this gentleman. How, in the midst of a recession, can a restaurateur afford to treat anyone poorly? There are thousands of other places in the city people can have far better food and a more pleasant dining experience. They try to appear upscale with the white table cloths and staff uniforms, when it reality I've had a better experience at IHOP (seriously). Oh and the food... large portions but the taste was marginal at best.

WORST SERVICE/ RUDE OWNERS/TOO LOUD

by Customerchicago2008 at Citysearch

Rude owners, if you are looking for hospitality this is not the place. The food is ok, but only if you like mexican- italian with bad service. The place is so loud in there you cannot even hear the person next to you. If you are looking for a smile, good food, good service do not waste your time here, go down the block to la scarola for real Italian with great service!

  • Pros: none
  • Cons: way too loud cannot hear your company, service is awful and everyone is rude
