Been here 4 times in the last month- delicious each time. Food is fresh, creative cuisine. They'll make you vegan if you prefer! Ambiance is comfy. friendly, service. Antonio the bartender is so sweet! He always makes our time here enjoyable! Thank you! read more

Another fantastic find on Long Island for an Exceptional Italian restaurant. I got to see all the dishes coming out of the kitchen ( because we had a table next to the kitchen ) they all looked incredible. We ordered Veal Parmigiana and Veal Siciliana both delicious and the veal was like butter, so tender. The sauces on the entrees so flavorful. Side of linguine with tomato sauce and roasted garlic perfect. Very limited wine list , we went with the Chianti tonight which was very good. They had a key lime pie as a special dessert for the night and I can never pass one up, another delicious item. Menu has individual entrees and also offers a family menu options for larger parties. Make sure you call for reservations, definitely gets crowded. Highly recommend read more

Update - our third visit. Saturday night, about 8:00 P.M., we got the last table for four, near the kitchen. They now have valet parking, but they don't take reservations, despite what's stated on the Internet. Prices have increased and the menu has changed since our visit last year. It's a loud, mostly "smart casual" dressed crowd, and I found myself leaning over the table to enable conversation. Last year, mid-week, it was quiet. Our waitress, Julia, was articulate and very sweet. I ordered the Chicken Sorrentino, which was breaded chicken cutlets with breaded eggplant cutlets in an oily tomato sauce with de minimus infused veggies and melted mozzarella cheese on top. It came with a side dish and I chose the linguine (instead of potato/veggies), but asked for whatever sauce would come with the entrée (instead of marinara, etc.). My dish was delicious, but I became saturated after eating half of it (possibly from the oil or because the portions are so generous), so I took the other half home for another dinner. I purposely didn't order an appetizer to save a little space for dessert and coffee. That said, for starters, they put out complimentary but crude bruschetta for the four of us and they partially sliced about a six or eight inch piece of plain Italian bread in a rattan basket with pats of butter wrapped in foil. I often try the tiramisu for dessert, when available in Italian restaurants. I enjoyed theirs, despite its variant albino appearance (see photo) and flavor. The relative absence of cocoa or espresso initially made me feel as if I had ordered scotch and got a Shirley Temple, but it was still well prepared and went well with coffee. read more

Niche place, location tough, but they do get you in there and are smart about the parking so stay the course, they will take good care of you and you won't be disappointed!!! Food was excellent, service was impeccable. I was impressed at the selection of specials, specifically the fish specials and regular menu pesce options. I enjoy other places locally and I am continually reminded of the limited options. Not at Bella Notte, I had a hard time deciding!!! I won't go into details because i don't need too. Order at will, drinks were great and as noted services excellent. They took very good care of us and I can't wait to go back!!! read more

Busy restaurant, good food, good service. No beef on the menu? The grilled branzino special was flawless. Not a bone to be found, cooked perfectly. read more

I wouldn't recommend this place. Person who took order our messed things up after I repeated it 2 times. Lasagne terrible. it way too salty, calamari no good, very soft.. Fruitti di mare and shrimp oreganata were good. Deserts nothing great. Disappointment and never again... read more

Solid 5 Star. Everything was perfect. Great Ambiance Great Service - Huge shout out to Robin our server! And most of all, the Food! Every appetizer and entree was perfection. The Bruschetta - Excellent The Kung Pao Calamari - Tasty, tender and delicious. The Frutti Di Mare over linguini Fra Diavlo - Super tasty, super fresh ingredients, spiced to perfection! The stuffed shrimp looked amazing, The pork Betty special was tender and super tasty. And I really liked the finishing touch, a tray of biscotti was served with our coffee. We're looking forward to returning - We have a new favorite restaurant in town!!! read more

Never ever again. The worst service. Came in for my wife's birthday. 2 different waiters. Bus boy was clueless and then. Never was offered dessert. Just threw the check on the table. And then was asked to move to the bar. Because they needed the table. Never got to ask for a piece of cake. Service and staff were horrible. Not going back. And won't recommend. My money. Is just as green as the table of 10. read more

It's a basic Italian menu that's done right. The restaurant is clean. The wait staff is attentive. The owner makes it a point to get to know his customers. The bartender Antonio is friendly and makes a great drink. This is our go to place. read more

Very nice local Italian joint. White tablecloths. Very good service and nice mellow atmosphere. Food is typical Italian fare. Little on the expensive side but people were sucking down those $18 martinis like they were water. read more

had a farewell dinner for my daughter, who is moving to Florida, we've been here before, We always order the Chicken Bella Notte ( Chicken Scapariello). It is as good as any I have had, probably better. They do not skimp on the portions ! Always leave with a doggie bag . The owner Teddy, alway welcomes you like you are family. The staff is very professional and attentive. Top notch! read more

I passed by Bella Notte. I got to meet Antonio at the bar, he is such a great guy, 5 stars place!

We had a great time. The place is very live on Friday evening The food awesome. The owner walked around making sure everyone was being taking cared of properly The one small complaint was in my calamari app. The marinara sauce didn't have enough garlic. Otherwise, I definitely would recommend this place, especially,for there shrimp oreganata It was best I ever had. read more

Went to Bella Notte for the first time this New Years Eve. I wasn't expecting much but was hoping for the best. Boy, was I blown away. The dining room was small but had a cozy vibe. To start, we were served a plate of bruschetta on toasted crostini for the table that was sooo tasty, PLUS a bread basket. My entree of chicken parm was huge, hot and cheesy with a side of perfectly tender roasted potatoes. At the end of the meal, they brought out a very generous plate of biscotti which was such a welcome surprise. Service was impeccable. This is a quality establishment serving quality food. Bella Notte will be seeing a lot more of me in 2026! read more

omg???? best food ever!!!!!! our waiter was so nice and came food came out right away!!!! it's noisy. but food smells good like omg best food ever read more

Excellent food with quality service in a cozy and warm atmosphere !! Nice bar with friendly patrons

Food was very good. Very surprised a restaurant of this caliber packed the leftovers in styrofoam boxes.

Went there Saturday on a packed night and had Joe as our waiter. What a great experience he truly made our night, his attentiveness was perfect and the food was great. Do recommend! read more

The service, the food, the atmosphere all top-notch. A very welcome alternative to many restaurants that have gone downhill these days.

A treasure in a tiny strip mall! Bella Notte gets you your Italian-American fix with an ambiance that is more family/special occasion-oriented than trendy. White table clothes and and upscale decor, but nothing stuffy about it. My father has been coming here for a few months now and talks about how much he loves it. We had a family dinner here the other night, the five of us at a large circular table. We didn't make a reservation but I think that can't hurt, especially on a weekend! The dining room is spacious and they accommodate large groups quite easily. There was a large family a couple tables over and it didn't at all feel crowded or noisy. Their menu is extensive (and there's a lot of specials). Nothing is marked as vegan and when that's the case, I always ask to make sure. The very informed waitress said that they will make things to order and that would be my recommendation if you have restrictions. The marinara is vegan by the way and very tasty. I ordered spinach and broccoli sauteed in garlic and oil over penne and it was excellent (even with my request for just a little garlic, the roasted cloves were plentiful, so if that's your thing, you'll be very satisfied). There's a nice array of reasonably priced quality wines by the glass. A full bar is available, with a friendly bartender that made my Dad's Manhattans perfectly. Bella Notte is a solid choice and hits the spot for those salt of the earth Italian American dishes. read more

Top notch menu and Italian recipes that are executed to perfection. Great staff that is attentive!

Our normal go to Italian was closed for renovations, so I took my team hear. We were not disappointed ! Great service and food, something for everyone. Parking was a little tough, but worth the hassle. You just made it to Go-to status Bella, see you soon. read more

Easily one of the best Italian restaurants on LI every time my family and I go there we always walk out pleased. Service is the only reason this place gets four stars it really depends on the server here but it's usually good. The food though is always excellent for a appetizer we usually get the Zucchini Bolognese and Stuffed Mushrooms, Entree wise my dad gets the Veal Marsala, my mom gets the Veal Sorrentino and I get Veal Chop Milanese. Every time the dishes come out amazing no complaints food wise at this restaurant. read more

The food is absolutely AMAZING. We ordered the chicken francese with a side of linguini marinara sauce. High quality ingredients made all the difference. The sauce was out of this world. The chicken francese was cooked to perfection. The staff here is equally as incredible as the food too. All hardworking and super friendly. They really work as a team to attend to all the guests. read more

We entered as a party of 3 and were greeted and sat immediately by an older gentleman who seemed to be the owner. We ordered baked clams for the table, shrimp parm, a Caesar salad and veal scallopine. All were copious and delicious! Nicely decorated place too. Recommend! read more

We were here over this past Weekend, The food was Horrible, and not fit for a Human Being to actually pay good money for. Our waiter didn't have any patients to wait the 5 minutes it to to take the orders from 4 people, My Children had the Chicken with Sausage dish and had 3 GREASY WHOLE LARGE SAUSAGES , they weren't even sliced. The complete dinner was a waste of my money. Never Again! read more

Chicken parmigiana and stuffed artichoke take out met my expectations. Large portions enough to share. read more

Average. Nothing to write home about. Got penne ala vodka - the prosciutto they serve it with overpowered the flavor. Bolognese wasn't great either. Generic meat sauce flavor. The thing that was the most disappointing was the waiter. Too busy texting on his phone or chatting with other people to check on us, refill waters, or really pay attention to his other tables. It was a Wednesday and not busy. The owner (?) I'm assuming, was the only one to check in on how our food was - but at the end of the meal. But he was nice. Overall, for the price I wasn't impressed. We won't be back. read more

Haven't been to Bella Notte for a while and wasn't thrilled tonight. The waiter had an attitude. The wine menu had incorrect prices listed. Instead of saying $14 glass it said $14 a bottle. This was in a few places. The Chianti price had been hand written and changed but not what we were ordering. The waiter said it was wrong and didn't attempt to satisfy us,just assumed I was getting wine! The food was just mediocre. The veal in the veal sorrentino was chewy. The bread was hard and stale tasting. Won't be back! There's enough other choices in the Bellmore Merrick area read more

My wife treated me to dinner and surprised me for my birthday by taking me here. We are extremely cautious with Covid and don't go out nearly as much as we used to. I was very impressed with how clean and tidy this establishment is. Everyone was wearing masks and everything was sanitary. The food was absolutely delicious. The staff made my birthday a truly special one. I highly recommend the Chicken Sorrentino, it was incredible. The portions are generous too. read more
