Bella Notte is our place to go to whenever we feel like having a great dinner with a friendly service and close to home. Nice and easy! Their roasted chicken and lamb chops are my favorites. read more

GREAT FOOD AND service. This is about a 20 table restaurant. Polite concerned service, of large portions of food prepared fresh to order. For it's small size the only problem is I would suggest reservations to make sure you can be seated. We will return again with friends. read more

Hands down, I ate the best mussels at Bella Notte last week-end! These mollusks were fat and tasty, simmered in a classic garlic and wine broth. I had almost given up hope on this bivalve but Bella Notte redemed my faith in them. Kudos! For dinner I choose linguini and white clam sauce. Although it was very good, I would have preferred a bit more salt and spice in the sauce. Regardless, I enjoyed it tremendously! My partner ordered the chicken parmigiano with a side of pasta. His dish was outstanding! Let's talk about the the ambience. This place has "it" all. The vibe is modern and hip with a touch of class and refinement. Our party of four walked into this new restaurant at 1830 on a Saturday night without a reservation. Because it was early, we were seated immediately. In mere minutes, the place was packedI I almost wished that we had the opportunity to hang out at the bar because it is a beautiful, roomy area just yearning for people to linger over a nice A'bruzzo. Service was positively outrageous! I can't wait to comeback for more! read more

Amazing service from Vincent! And the food quality and portions were great! What a great gem in Bellmore!!!

Came here on 2/13. $45 for destroyed lamp chops. Yikes. These are TriBeCa prices for quality and overhead that is not TriBeCa. Go to Carvalhos if you want lamb chops done right locally, at a fraction of the cost. Laughable. Also, please change the name of the pasta special with lobster sauce to the pasta with lobster shell sauce with some shrimp. There was no lobster. I guess they didn't necessarily say there was, so it's my fault. It's all in the wording. And there is flavor in the shell - but some actual lobster would have been nice. Waitress was completely overwhelmed. Did her best, and we would have been fine if we were in a diner. Not spending $45 on disintegrated lamb chops and bullshit lobster sauce coupled with amateur service. Again, not a bad person, just not meant for this price point. The older gentlemen that walked around to check on things was great, seemed like a sincere fella, but unfortunately he hasn't informed his valet team or customers that Arby Court is not their parking lot. Saw a drunk guy this evening stumbling from BN as we walked home from the train. I didn't move from Queens to deal with this shit. He then walked around his own car a few times for whatever reason. Didn't have a chance to stop him from driving. Next time it gets recorded and sent to the local precinct. If you're charging $45 for lamb chops in Wantagh, you can afford to get yourself some more parking. read more

Went for the first time last week. Had the mussles for an app they were good, i prefer smaller sized ones but they were good anyway. For dinner i had the cappolini with seafood, it was excellent, wife had the sh arregnata, shrimp were huge and cooked perfect, sauce was good. My son had penna and a meatball. Meatball was very good, tomato sauce was burnt, it happens. I ran places like this for 20 years. Owner or manager, (i think owner) was nice, greeted us when we came in and when we left. We will be back. Went back a second time, had the ch sorintino wife had the salmon special. Both were excellent and the portions were huge. Couldn't finish it had to take it home. Also had the calamari arrabirta, it was great. Alot of places mess up that dish but they did it perfect. read more

No parking Menu is blue w/ black lettering unreadable. To noisy, bread Luke warm. Cesar salad rooms you anchovies. Actually pretty tasteless. I ordered veal parmigiana ( it's safe and since I couldn't read the menu. .. Nice piece of. DSL but basically tasteless I won't come back if it's up to me. read more

Great Italian food. I make the trip from Queens to Wantagh when I'm craving some chicken parm, because this place makes it on point, every time, all the time. My parents love the chicken scarparella, pasta with garlic and oil never skimps on the garlic. Huge chunks and lots of them! Freshly baked warm bread, and a glass of red to top it off. Buon appetito! read more

This place is good , I mean, really good. If your looking for some fine Italian cooking , look no more. They have awesome specials or you can order from a very large variety of dishes off the menu. I enjoy every visit and always look forward to the next. Quality is an understatement as you always leave here with full belly and most times a take home meal. read more

Went here for the first time last night. Don't know why I waited so long. The food was delicious. Split the artichoke and Cesar salad for an appetizer. The taste was incredible. Had the chicken sorrentino for dinner. Another big hit. The friends i came with had the lamb chops and Shrimp dishes. They were raving about how good it was. The portions are generous. Definitely too full for dessert. Looking forward to the next time. Can't wait to try more of their delicious dishes. read more

I have been wanting to eat here for a long time. Our dining out became minimal due to Covid concerns. I finally got there tonight and it was definitely worth the wait. We were greeted graciously and things got better from there. Our waitress, Robin, was congenial and very helpful. The food was plentiful and extremely well prepared and presented. I can't wait to go back! read more

Let me first start by saying the service is outstanding!!! The breaded peppers calamari wow I have never had anything like it. The pasta is so fresh and very flavorful. You can taste the herbs and garlic. read more

I can't say I have any arguments with the food. But one of the reasons we picked Bella Notte for a family meal was the $$ rating on yelp. Entrees ranged from $19.95 (eggplant parm) to $44.95 (daily special, maybe lamb?). Many entrees in the $29.95 - $39.95 range. I thought I was seeing things as to me, that is NOT $$. More like $$$ bordering on $$$$. So be warned! read more

Overall positive experience! The owner, Donna, was very welcoming as soon as we approached the outdoor dining area. The service was fast, but we did not feel rushed at all. My sister and I ordered chicken fettuccini Alfredo and linguini with garlic and oil and broccoli. These dishes were absolutely delicious! It was a last minute decision to go there but we're glad we went to support a small business, especially during these times. We'll be back again! read more

We decided to have my mother-in-law's 90th birthday celebration at Bella Notte. We had her 89th there the year prior and did it again this year. They closed the restaurant for us so it was truly a private party. The food was delicious ( planned menu) and came out hot for all 43 guests. Service was attentive. We had no complaints at all. It was a pleasure to deal with the owner and his hard working staff. read more

Truly truly enjoy this place. Food is consistently good. Great family place and beautiful dining area. The host and staff are extremely friendly. The stuffed artichoke, baked clams or fried calamari with abbriata sauce are great starters. The broiled veal chop is delicious or if they have it the seafood fra diablo special is awesome:) Very accommodating if you want to substitute. Parking is a pain but some nights they have valet. Good Local Place that is a Must Try. read more

Very nice atmosphere, staff was very nice and food was great as well. We had the clams, chicken parm, shrimp francese, and a Napoleon with some cappuccino. read more

Nice atmosphere , good service but super expensive for what you get. Very salty. Very disappointed.

My brother and I had dinner at Bella Notte in Bellmore on Sunday, 2/21 for the first time. All I can say is this restaurant is a gem! We were greeted warmly and seated promptly (we had a reservation for 7:00, but arrived early). Our server was so nice! We ordered drinks and he asked us if we were over 21! That made my week (I'm 70 and my brother is 67), and I told him so! It was the start of a wonderful experience. From the cocktails, to the appetizer (sumptuous breaded shrimp), to our entrees (I had rigatoni pasta with the most fabulous, big, hearty meatballs I've ever tasted and my brother had Fettucine pasta with meat sauce that he loved), everything was absolutely excellent. The bus staff was also great! And for dessert, we shared the most heavenly Napolean ever! And to top it all off, my chocolate martini was superb! Love this place and will definitely be back. This restaurant is a treasure and if you love Italian food and wonderful service, check it out. Thank you, Bella Notte, for a divine dining experience. read more

Zero stars if it were an option! My husband and I visited 2 weeks ago to celebrate our 18 year anniversary. We were super excited for a beautiful night out, as you can imagine. To start off, Valet parking was a mess, not very organized and extremely rushed. We waited almost 2 hours to be seated. The atmosphere was too noisy and overcrowded. Pretty much seems like a hangout spot for the snobby, egotistic, pretentious, flashy, flamboyant crowd. Our table had some crumbs and a weird smell. Cranky waitress was extremely rude and unpleasant, not very welcoming or attentive at all. The baked clams were so chewy and sandy! The veal was tough and overcooked, could've used more seasoning --it was just too bland! I was really looking forward to the shrimp Wendy which happened to be a huge disappointment also. Towards the end of the night, my husband and I got the worse diarrhea of our lives. For 2 weeks straight! I think the health inspector should pay a visit to this establishment ASAP! Definitely overpriced and not worth it! Do NOT recommend. We will never be coming back. Thanks for a "Bella Notte". NOT! read more

This place is top notch. Our dinner experience yesterday evening was terrific. We had a reservation for inside seating. Showed up, and were seated immediately. The owner, manager and wait staff all wanted to make sure we were happy. Their attention to the Covid guidelines is a model for how other places should be run. The food was fantastic. I had the veal Milanese and my wife had the veal siciliano. Every thing was cooked to perfection and delicious. They have a very nice wine by the glass menu and their prices for both food and wine are excellent. Our meal was finished off with some delicious biscotti, on the house. We will definitely return. read more

Went here tonight and had a wonderful meal. The staff was kind and the food was solid. Place was bustling and the food was very good. Stuffed artichoke although delicious still had the inedible choke in it which we had to eat around. Dessert though was amazing. Napoleon and biscotti were homemade and finished the night off perfectly. Place just has a nice vibe. Thank you for a lovely night. My husbands birthday was perfect. read more

This is hands down one of THE best Italian joints on the Island. The food os phenomenal. Consistently. We've tried a few others both dine in and out. Yuck. I do t k ow of it's really yuck or relatively yuck. All i know is every time we say "should have done Bella Notte". I hope this horrible horrible time we are in doesn't close them down. Went to order take out and the message said they're closed temporarily. Please please open again!!!! Prayers to the wonderful owners and staff. read more

The food was bland and over priced also they forgot my specialty dish... I ordered veal parmesan chicken franchise shrimp parmesan. The sauce was very good the chicken was bland the veal was a super thin cut and was not tasty the shrimp wasn't that good either cost me 100 to never go back there again read more

The food here was amazing. Fried calamari was on point. The hot sauce on the side was great. The chicken Marsala was incredible and the side of penne ala vodka was enough for its own meal which was also amazing. The bartenders (Joey and Margherite) were on point and made amazing drinks. We've been wanting to come here for awhile and we finally made it in for dinner and were glad we did. We will definitely be coming back. The owner and staff were friendly and polite and very accommodating. read more

If your looking for a great Lamb Chop Milanese then this place has it. The only thing i requested added to it was chopped basil. Fantastic!! read more

Bella Notte - a plate of food on a table - Italian Near Me - Bellmore, New York

Went in on a Thursday evening. 7PM. Place was about half full. Greeted at the door by the host (owner?). Very pleasant. Sat immediately. Room was not loud at all. Decor was interesiting, with artwork of actors from classic mafia movies (Goodfellas, The Godfather). I was with my wife, my daughter and one of my daughter's friends. My daughter and friend shared the Penne ala Vodka (prepared vegetarian). My wife had the caesar's salad and the chicken parm. Salad was a little fishier than she likes, but ok. Chicken parm was very good. I had the chicken francaise, which was very good as well. Service was excellent. Very attentive. They even split the salad to two plates when my wife mentioned that my daughter was going to be having some. Reasonalby priced for quality and service. Would defitenly go back. read more

We are always happy with our food and the service. This restaurant is not a big place,but it can get busy. You can always grab a drink at the bar. Omg! If you are going to have dessert try their Napoleon Cake it's the best. Bon Appetite! read more

This place is amazing. My family and I have been going here for years. The food, service, & atmosphere is absolutely great. All of their dishes are delicious!!! You can't go wrong! Definitely check this place out if you haven't. read more

Amazing food, atmosphere and friendly neighborhood place! The lamb chops are delicious! Stuffed shrimp yummy! New England mussels delicious... everything on the menu is wonderful! As well as Ted and his wife! read more

We were greeted warmly & the service was good. Veal parmigiana was delicious. I had sautéed chicken parmigiana with shrimp. Meh. The shrimp was overcooked and they add chunks of garlic to everything. So big that my husband thought they were potatoes. The price was way too high for pizzeria food. Won't be back. read more

We tried to get into Bella Notte on a weekend night a few months ago but it was too crowded, so we just returned on a Tuesday night. So happy we came back! The room is beautifully decorated with hip modern art of Italian movie stars. The owner greeted us in a friendly manner even though we were newcomers, and our waitress Robin was fantastic throughout. First we split the Burrata appetizer. The cheese was obviously straight from the buffalo, nestled on a bed of fresh arugala and red pepper. Scrumptious. For entrees my hubbie had the pasta frutte de mare which he loved, especially the huge mussels. I splurged on the veal chop with chestnut sauce special, delicious and a tremendous portion. Tartuffo and Italian cheesecake desserts were delish. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity we enjoyed. Plenty to take home and we are big eaters. We intend to return soon and become regulars. Deliziozo! read more

First off the owner teddy, he really is an awesome guy. The first time me and my boyfriend went here, we got the soft shell crab with spinach as the appetizer and it was just amazing. The baked clams were also absolutely delicious. I had one of the specials as my main course which was the lamb chops over a bed of spinach with penne alla vodka an also it was our anniversary so he gave us a trey of deserts with some coffee!! All in all this is a restaurant that I will keep going back too. Totally deserves 5 stars read more

Service was great again!! zucchini meatballs a must try.The veal parm was not as good as the last time a little tough although all other food perfect.Will go back for sure . read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Bella Notte. I ordered pasta bolognese and the portion was huge! I took home leftovers and ended up getting three meals out of it. It was delicious. They also brought us complimentary dessert! The service was also great. I would go back! read more

My husband and I went for dinner at 9:00 pm Thursday night and were happy we finally tried this place. Baked clams appetizer was delicious. I ordered shrimp scampi and sautéed vegetables it was delicious. The portion of vegetables was large... Not so big for the shrimp count. Flavor was great! My husband got the chicken over spinach in a red cream assume and he really enjoyed it! Service was really good. Dinner for 2 with bottled water was $90. We enjoyed this place and we will be backspin. read more

I went there tonight with my fiancé we live down the block and been wanting to try It out. If i could give It no stars i probably would. I always always have a glass of wine with my dinner but i did not really see anything that intrigued me and i was not looking to spend $15 on a glass of wine. That's fine i don't have to drink i thought. A man took our order and came back with our sodas and we never saw him again. We had no server. Once the hostess and another waitress came by but even if i wanted a drink i probably couldn't have gotten one at this point. Anyway we get our food and It starts off good after a few bites we look at each other because we are both thinking the same thing. I used to think people exaggerated when they said this and maybe some do but It literally seemed like someone knocked an entire salt shaker into our food. Never in my life !! And i LOVE salt i put It on everything but this was not edible. It was DISGUSTING and now we can't stop drinking water. I ate as much as i could which wasn't much because the more bites i took the more inedible it became. Eventually i got up and asked for the check. My fiancé keeps apologizing and he will usually eat ANYTHING. What a waste of money. read more

Every sauce made to order, wonderful portion size and great cocktails! Highly recommend!

definitely a go to!! food excellent service excellent. drinks a bit costly but if youre looking for authentic Italian food very very good

We just had an awesome meal here , the artichoke, frutti di mare, and veal Milanese were all great , and tieramisu and cheeesecake was even better, one of the best evenings out in a while. The staff was great , the only thing not perfect was the limited wine choices read more
