I really enjoyed this restaurant. And that is a good thing because I was starting to think it is simply not worth the aggravation to eat out anymore, based on some recent awful experiences with lousy servers and overpriced substandard food. Service here was as good as it gets. Multiple people are assigned to your table and they operate in a coordinated and effective system. Friendly folks as well. The food, including the Pasta Wheel, Steak and Desserts were top notch. Only knock on this place are the wines by the glass, which are frankly overpriced. I saw people bringing their own bottles, so perhaps this is a BYOB establishment and I simply missed that detail. Can't wait to go back! read more

Really nice place Service was exceptional I think the food needs work. The apps and entrees were okay. Mom enjoyed her branzino My nephew really really loved the pasta entree he ordered. I ordered the halibut with risotto and it was okay at best. Dessert was just okay as well. If i'm ever in the area again i'll give this place another try and order a pasta dish. Bar seating looks really nice. The place was packed. read more

We came on a Saturday at 5 o'clock to celebrate our anniversary which was a good time. Not to busy yet. We were greeted by the friendly hostess and we had our choice where we wanted to sit. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Now the best part was the pasta in the cheese wheel. The whole presentation is done table side and wow it is so delicious!! This is a must! My husband had the shrimp and fillet of salt over risotto. It was good, but it was a little bland. For dessert again table side they make strawberry & banana in butter and alcohol sauce then pour it over ice cream! So good! It was a very nice experience and they went over and beyond to celebrate our anniversary. We will definitely come back for Happy Hour!! read more

I was kind of surprised, on the quality of food and the service at this restaurant. We came here to Parsippany New Jersey for a funeral. Once we arrived, we were hungry and wanted lunch, there's really not a lot of options in this area. You have your classic New Jersey diner or this place. Bella Rosa exceeded my expectations. I wasn't feeling well. I did not want to big meal. So I ordered ravioli. It was outstanding, and the bread that came to the table was outstanding, and it came with a salad that was outstanding. I forget what my wife and daughter ordered, but I know they both truly enjoyed their meals and my wife had a couple of nice glasses of wine to go along with it. Inside, besides the dining area there's a large bar area with high top seating. To me this looks like the place to be if you're coming out for dinner in Parsippany on route 46. read more

Our friends wanted to take us out to celebrate hubby's graduation and suggested Bella Rosa. We haven't been here since it was Milagros (a Mexican restaurant and before that TGiFridays) so we were excited to try something new. It was so beautifully decorated and very lively with music and happy people. The hostess checked our reservations and headed up to the booths by the bar. We asked to be seated in the lower section of the restaurant so we can talk and they easily accommodated the request. The service and attention during our meal were incredible. There were several people filling our glasses, clearing plates and providing excellent service without being intrusive. They brought bread to the table, took away wine glasses since we weren't having wine and brought a delightful appetizer platter of hard cheese, meat, olives and veggies. Yum! I normally don't order many appetizers but our friend insisted since he loves them and likes to share. We ordered the calamari, meatballs and roasted artichoke hearts. They brought octopus instead of calamari, but quickly corrected the error. I'm not gonna lie, the octopus looked really good, I would've been ok w/ keeping it. (I recently discovered how much I enjoy it) the calamari was good and the sauce fresh. The meatballs were tender, not overly seasoned. The artichokes didn't look grilled or the way described in the specials. We wondered if it was a different but it was lemony and yummy a we went with it. See pictures for how cool the 3 looked. Plenty of food and very filling. I ordered my signature Cosmo which hit the spot, chilled and the perfect amount of flavors without being too alcohol heavy. No one else drank but I toasted hubby anyway. I ordered the beet salad w/ nuts, goat cheese and added chicken. It was huge! I had it for dinner again last night. The chicken could have been more flavorful or seasoned better but the salad had a lot going on so it was fine. My friend got the beet salad ( no chicken) and burger which she devoured. Some skinny people can eat! My husband ordered a chicken dish but wasn't thrilled with it. The chicken had little flavor and it was overwhelmed with tomatoes and had raw onion. It didn't look great, but he isn't one to complain, especially if he wasn't paying. My friend got the gnocchi bolognese and added chicken. It was a lot of food and he seemed to really enjoy it! We sat for about 3 hours and were not rushed in any way which was super nice. We were so full but somehow split a piece of ricotta cheesecake and the men got cappuccino. All good. Overall, the appetizers were my husband's favorites ( we were celebrating him) the place was beautiful, the owner and servers went above and beyond, and we had a lovely evening. I will go back for sure. I liked that the menu offered both lighter fares, lower cost items, high end steaks and even one of those cheese wheels that look so cool but I can't eat that much pasta! Go check it out if you are in the area. read more

We LOVE this place! I am a big fan of their other restaurants, so this Italian and Mexican "freestyle" spot was sure to knock it out of the park. Their full service bar makes a huge variety of cocktails, we enjoyed the margarita flight! Also highly recommend the meatball appetizer and of course their legendary pasta wheel! The atmosphere is upscale and chic, perfect for date night or out with the girls. Make sure to get a reservation, since this place gets very busy. read more

This Italian restaurant has one of the most beautiful decorations, all florals and yet very classy and elegant looking. The appetizers were good and the main course of chicken gnocchi was so good that I ate it without taking a photo. The staff were very professional and had a great time.

The service was very disappointing. The table next to us had been invited by the restaurant to promote its food and was using a camera with a bright LED light, repeatedly taking photos of every course throughout our dinner. The constant bright light was incredibly distracting and took away from what should have been an enjoyable dining experience. While I understand the value of promoting the restaurant, this should have been done in a way that didn't negatively impact paying guests. To make matters worse, our waiter brought us the check before we were even ready to leave, making us feel rushed. We had actually planned to order additional food and drinks, but after the check was delivered prematurely, we decided not to. We were there for about two hours on a Thursday evening when the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, yet we only saw our server three times during our entire meal. To add to the frustration, our check already included the credit card surcharge before we had even told the server how we intended to pay. It was simply assumed we would be paying by credit card rather than asking us first. The food itself was very good, which made the disappointing service even more frustrating. Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had in quite some time. Overall, the lack of attentive service, feeling rushed despite wanting to continue our meal, the assumption about our payment method, and the disruptive atmosphere created by the restaurant's promotional food photography made for a very disappointing experience. read more

Very disappointing experience at Bella Rosa. I ordered a burger that was so undercooked there was blood soaking into the roll. Needless to say, I sent it back. My son ordered the fish tacos, which were overwhelmed with dressing. They were so soggy and mushy that they were difficult to eat and swallow. For $24 plus gratuity, we expected much better quality. To make matters worse, even the water had an unpleasant taste. Overall, the food quality was poor, the prices were high for what was served, and the entire experience was disappointing. There are many better dining options in the area. Save your money and spend it elsewhere. read more

Went to Bella Rosa last Saturday night, and can't really express how wonderful everything was. The restaurant gave me Miami vibes, nicely decorated with plenty of tables and an awesome bar. We were seated at a nice large table by the friendly host. We ordered a few drinks, which were really good. Two of us ordered a specialty sangria, these were a really good choice. Dinner was fantastic, everyone loved their dishes and three of the four of us had plenty to take home. The dishes were quite large and well worth the menu prices. I had the seafood pasta and it was loaded with lobster and scallops with four jumbo shrimp. Each of us really enjoyed our choices, and can't wait to go back to try a new dish. Service is so wonderful, a really good server to guest ratio, which I always consider a hallmark of a well run restaurant. They are under the same ownership as Barka, and you can certainly tell that in all aspects. Leo, our host was super gracious and you can tell he enjoys what he's doing. All the servers were knowledgeable and kept checking glasses, etc. You never have to hunt anyone down, they really had everything running so beautifully. They all seem so dedicated to making sure you're happy, a really nice thing after a long week. If you're looking for a new place to try, please make a reservation, you won't be disappointed. read more

Had a reservation for what I thought was Mother's Day brunch. They serve brunch every Saturday and Sunday except apparently on Mother's Day. There was no indication on their website that today of all days would only be the dinner menu. Even in the lobby they have their brunch menu displayed. We ended up leaving and were extremely disappointed. read more

Great food, descent atmosphere and great service. Portions are average size, and prices are high, but they have amazing 50% everything happy hour, Sunday-Thursday, with the discount this place can't be beat. And the bread basket comes with olives some type of fancy salami and awesome cheese, nice touch. read more

My wife and I utilized one of our date nights to give BellaRosa a try. From the ambiance when you first walk in, you can tell this a romantic place with the beautiful mood lighting and it's very nicely decorated. We were seated right away in a booth. And the food was absolutely delicious. My favorite is that they spin themselves as an Italian restaurant, but there's a healthy mix between Italian, Mexican, and some other delicious elements sprinkled in there. Our waiter was attentive, but I got the feeling that they were short staffed as between courses, there was a bit of a wait to be able to get to the next thing. All the food we had was delicious between the boneless ribeye, the elote corn, and pasta bolognese, and finished off with the delightful flambé!! I'd definitely recommend this place for a romantic night out. read more

Bella Rosa is no longer on my circuit of go to restaurants. . Our waiter was practically MIA as we waited 75 minutes for our meals to arrive. When we called him over for an update after 45 minutes there were no apologies, just a brusque "it's coming out soon" followed by many more minutes of waiting. We received free desserts and a family discount in the end, but only after complaining to the manager. To their credit the burrata salad and ricotta cheesecake were delicious but the shrimp scampi was dry and flavorless. read more

I was really disappointed, mussels were terrible with a funny taste - not good . Ordered the special linguine pecorino, what a mess of a presentation and not prepared properly- the cheese was clumped because the waiter didn't know how to cook it properly. The desert prepared table side was also a mess . Over 75 dollars a person - share 2 apps between 4 of us and 4 entrées . This is part of the restaurant group with Barca's but not in the same league for service , qualityat the same price point. One and done read more

Party of four this past NY Eve. 1st time here, came here because this group also owns Barka close by to this location. They renovated the old Fridays building on Lackawanna ave. and rte. 46. Restaurant is very nice inside with nice big booths. On this night they did not have enough bar staff and apparently kitchen staff. Servers were abundant and very good! Apparently their POS system failed in the middle of dinner service and it created a problem, and a long delay, which is very understandable!! Food was excellent!! We had 2 fish specials (excellent) and 2 really great chicken dishes as well as 2 very good appetizers. This restaurant is apparently owned and run by a professional restaurant group that knows how to run a business and we happened to picked a night when their normal operations were disrupted. We will definitely be back for another dinner!! read more

Maybe she's moved on. ? read more

Mixed review for a delivery experience. We had eaten there before. We were staying at a hotel maybe 1/2 mile away, but wanted to order delivery. Ordered Fish Tacos and a Caesar Salad with Salmon. The salad came with Beef, which was useless someone who does not eat meat. The Tacos were unusual, deep fried fish . in a small taco shell with just a little mango sauce. Fortunately, they tasted good. Felt this was overpriced for a bungled order. read more

Honestly, everything. They took a Bennigans and tried to make it fancy except the food is still fast food. The service was awful. Manager walked by our table no less than 5x never stopped to ask why/how my meal was considering it was still a full plate all 5x. The waiter didn't ask either. I sent it back when he finally asked if we wanted boxes. On top of all that, they are going for a Romantic vibe however the noise level is through the roof. Probably one of the worst experiences I've had and we eat out a lot. Don't waste your time or money going here. read more

Amazing food and service. The restaurant interior is beautiful and a great atmosphere for a date night. Our server, Andres, was attentive and welcoming. He offered recommendations and paced our meal perfectly so we could enjoy every dish without feeling rushed. The burrata special and Caesar salad were delicious.

We will definitely be back!! read more

Enjoyed a great night of food and drinks. Service from our waiter Sean was amazing! Highly recommend.

So me and my daughter went to the restaurant tonight and we started with a bottle of wine that they were out of. They suggested another and we accepted it. We ordered apps: clams oreganato & mozzarella & Carrozza. Clams not good and the Mozzarella was burnt and tasted like a Brie cheese other than mozzarella. We ordered Lamb shank and the Bronzino. So when the entrees came out. Mine was set in front of me while the manager came out with my daughter's fish and deboned the fish in front of us. The best part of the fish is the crispy skin and the head and skin was removed. So the deboning was not done properly and my daughter still had bones in fish. Sometimes it's better to leave whole and experience the flaky fish itself and let oneself do the work because that's why we order seafood. The subsidiary restaurant is the Barka and that hands down is the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. Bella Rosa's service was ok. The table next to us shared an entree and the service staff never put 2 dinner plates in front of them until they asked for plates. The fish was cooked properly and tasted good. The Lamb Shank was also cooked to perfection and the risotto was cooked just right. We ordered Tarimasu for dessert and that was good as well. Unfortunately I don't think we will go back. The prices were too high and when check arrived a service fee for Credit Cards was on the check. I asked them to take it off since I was paying cash. The owner was walking around the bar area shaking hands and mingling with the customers that he had the perception that they will keep his restaurant busy and unfortunately you can't judge a book by its cover and he never came over to us not once. Maybe because we just came from our business and looked like we are homeless. Lol Manager was good and he did take care of us. I appreciate that he cared . I did like Milagros that was there 9 months ago. The ambiance was a low class vibe with fine dining prices on menu. Bella Rosa I wish you the best but I would never come back. I hope u last longer than Milagros. Also please clean the ladies bathroom it was disgustingly filthy. Ugh read more

Service was very good. The seafood wasn't good. It seems as though the chef wants the seafood to taste like common seafood. No lemon wedges or anything to mitigate the old fishy taste. I had the scallops one time and the Branzino in another. Both had overwhelming " fishy " taste. I couldn't finish the Branzino. It was too strong. The accompanying risotto and vegetables were very good. It seemed like the fish wasn't rinsed or prepared. A healthy portion though. read more
