" At Bella Sera, I was looking forward to a night of great Italian food, but I was disappointed. The ravioli was overcooked and the sauce lacked flavor. The atmosphere was nice, but the food quality didn't match the ambiance. My partner and I noticed that even the portions were small for the price. We had to wait quite a while for our order to arrive, and it just felt frustrating. This experience leads me to believe that the kitchen needs serious revamping to compete with local favorites. Sadly, I would not return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bella Sera is a hit or miss. I've had decent meals here, but just as many bad ones. I remember the first time trying their pepperoni pizza; it was piping hot, topped with gooey cheese, and had the perfect crispy crust. Others at my table enjoyed the lasagna, but my experience was quite the opposite on my next visit when the pizza dough tasted stale, like it had been sitting out for a while. The service is usually friendly, but the wait times can vary depending on how busy they are. The staff is definitely trying, I just wish the kitchen was more consistent with their food. Overall, I would say a mixed experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Bella Sera with friends for dinner, and I was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere was cozy and made for a nice environment to relax. I ordered the lasagna, and it was honestly the best I have had in a while. Plenty of cheese and the right amount of seasoning made it stand out. The service was decent, but there were some delays, likely because they were busy. Still, I would happily recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy a casual Italian meal. Overall, I would give it a solid 4 stars. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great experience at Bella Sera! While some previous reviewers mentioned issues, I found my meal delightful. The chicken marsala was a standout dish for me; it was well-cooked, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. The ambiance felt welcoming, and my server was prompt and attentive. We even received a complimentary dessert at the end, which was a nice gesture. I would recommend giving them another shot if you haven't enjoyed your previous experiences. Overall, I would rate it a solid 4 stars. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bella Sera has great potential, but it really feels like they are still figuring things out. My experience with their gnocchi was decent, but I was shocked by the portion sizes! For the price, I expected to leave feeling satisfied, but I instead felt like I could have eaten more. The service was friendly, but they seemed understaffed; we often had to wait for our drinks. I hope they can improve in the future because the atmosphere is lovely, and the location is ideal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at Bella Sera but ended up very disappointed. The service was slow, and it took ages just to get drinks. Our orders took longer than expected, and when they finally arrived, I noticed that my lasagna was nowhere near hot enough. The cheese wasn't even slightly melted! To make matters worse, the garlic bread was tasteless and cold as well. There was absolutely no garlic; it seemed like a frozen ready-made product. I wanted to complain, but our server was nowhere in sight. Based on this experience, I probably won’t come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" On a recent visit to Bella Sera, we were excited to try their famous garlic knots. Unfortunately, they were soggy and bland. My main course – a simple spaghetti – didn’t fare much better. The sauce tasted very generic, almost like it came from a bottle. To add to this, our waiter seemed to be overwhelmed by the few tables she had and we struggled to get her attention when we needed something. Overall, I left feeling disappointed and wouldn’t recommend the place for a proper Italian meal. I feel like they try hard but miss the mark. " (*Curated Review*)
