Editorial Review for Bella Notte – by Citysearch Editors
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.

Awful, awful service, thanks to the “owner” Ramon Aguirre who I earlier thought was the manager. I took my husband there to celebrate his 40th birthday. Upon arriving I asked the person who I thought was the manager if they could do something special. He mentioned adding a candle to my desert of choice. After getting the bill there was stinking $5 charge. I questioned Ramon about the charge very nicely, (thinking it was an honest mistake) only to have him respond very rudely without even looking at me “I run an establishment and we are not in the business of giving away ANYTHING free.” He went on to ask what I did for a living and if he came into my business and said it was his birthday, would I give him something free. Oh, did I forget to mention my bill was well over $200. He was EXTREMELY rude, condescending & mean. I tried to explain that he should change his response so customers would know there will be a charge. He then replied “I’m sorry YOU assumed you would get something free.” He didn’t understand that at the end of the day it’s not about $5, but about how you respond to customers. He didn’t care about my business
Pros: Remote Location
Cons: Owner is EXTREMELY rude

The best food in the city. Not cheap, but it shouldn't be at this quality. Service is well above average, but again it's about the food. Mussels/red sauce!! Shrimp Scampi!! Marsalla Sauce!!! Whitefish Velasco is unbelievable - a vesuvio styled sauce with jalapenos!!! All of the fish I have had is prepared well. I agree the house salad is great and for a salad/appetizer the asparagus salad with balsamic sauce is awesome. The other remarkable food comment on this resturant I have is an opposite complaint that I have at most others. THE FOOD IS HOT! From the bread basket to the entree it's always HOT! To go or dine in the details are done. The last comment on this restaurant is that it is managed and owned by a family. A family that gets it - from the front of the house to the back!! Congratulations Bella Notte
