    prime rib
    Eugene H.

    Bella's Bistro (Simi Valley) was a solid dinner overall, but not something I'd go out of my way for. The prime rib was the highlight--tender, flavorful, and cooked well. That said, the rest of the meal felt pretty average for the price and didn't really stand out. The best thing we had was the calamari: crispy, well-seasoned, and honestly the most memorable bite of the night. Service and atmosphere were fine--just a mixed experience.

    Superb Restaurant

    Amazing! Elegant! Delicious! My husband and I enjoy date night here. The food is fantastic. The service is excellent and personable. The ambience makes you feel like you're in Europe.

    A true hidden gem! I absolutely love places like this. Family-owned, over the top amazing service, and great food. This is my boyfriend and I's favorite place to go to. It's a very intimate and family friendly environment. Cristina, Adriana and Bella are the best. I've had quite a few drinks here and everything was a hit. I recommend getting the pomegranate margarita or the lavender martini - so freaking good. Every meal here has been superb, from the appetizers to the entrees. The calamari and burrata were to die for. The salmon and steak were mouth watering. Not to mention the mashed potatoes that I still dream about. Dessert is not something that I typically order but you cannot go wrong with the mango panna cotta. I am not a huge mango fan but this dessert was probably the best dessert I've ever had. The mango flavor was so fresh and not artificial tasting. You can truly tell when a restaurant goes above and beyond and that's exactly what they do here. Everything is freshly made from the juices in their cocktails, to their food and dessert. If you're deciding on where to go for dinner tonight, I promise this restaurant will not disappoint!

    Amazing food and service. Highly recommend this restaurant. Enjoyed the special of the day and it did not disappoint. Especially enjoyed the lemon drop martinis!

    We ordered takeout based on how good our Valentines experience was. 2 completely different meals this time. WOW! That's it, that's the review...WOW! We had the jumbo prawns on seafood risotto, spaghettini de pesce, bread, a mixed greens salad and a caesar. Not one piece of seafood was overcooked and it was delivered via Door Dash. Let me repeat that, DOOR DASH. Whomever the chef is, they completely understand how to make quality food for in-house dining and delivery. The meals were fantastic and we are so happy that our last visit wasn't a one off. We would have paid double for this exact meal...it was that good and that fresh! The pasta was still hot and al dente and the risotto was creamy and had just enough tooth. Super impressed with this restaurant, once again. We are 100% fans at this point and we will definitely be back! (It was sooo good we forgot pics!)

We had plans to dine elsewhere and when we arrived it was a sold out event even though I was never told that when I called earlier in the week that there was going to be a different situation (that is another story for later) So here we were a party of four looking to dine somewhere locally at prime dinner hour and striking out. My wife called MB Grille as we were already heading in that direction and talked to Alice and she allowed us to put our name on the list with the intent of us arriving in 10 minutes. We did arrive on time and the place was packed, we did get seated shortly after we arrived and Riley was our server. What a friendly easy going helpful person she was, answering questions that we had and getting answers for the questions she didn't have. Very attentive checking on us numerous times. We have dined here before and the fish is always fresh and cooked to perfection, Oysters are always good and the cocktails always spot on and refreshing. Big shout out to Riley on this one, great service is just as important as delicious food. And a great hostess such as Alice keeps the incoming customers flowing and happy and feeling welcome. Thank you both for making a fall out evening into a dining pleasure. Well done Riley and MB Grille, as always we will see you again soon. Bon Appetitto

Our server seem to be really new and not knowing what she was doing. It was frustrating having to ask for everything the whole time. We decided to get the meat lovers skillet, tricolor burrito, fiesta omelette, French toast. I asked for the shredded beef for my tricolor burrito, I also asked for no onions as this was another ingredient with this burrito. When I got my burrito, I thought there was a lot of onions. So I asked the server. She went to the kitchen and asked and was told that the shredded beef comes with onions. I believe that since I had mentioned, I don't want any onions, it would have been great to mention that the shredded beef already has onions so we would have chosen another meat option and not send the dish back to the kitchen. After I received my plate, saw so many onions, decided to mention it to the server and that's when she went back to the kitchen to ask, then realized it has the onions. And when I asked for asada meat, I was told it's extra. All this conversation, the server keeps coming back-and-forth to the kitchen, which was really frustrating. I end up getting the chicken, it was a good option. Our family liked the meat, lovers skillet, and the French toast Food was good however I would not be returning because the service was absolutely horrible

I ordered the grilled three cheese sandwich (with Jack, pepper jack, and cheddar on sourdough, grilled) served with fries or chips - I chose the house-made chips, and added a side salad. The salad arrived first, and I had almost finished it when the sammy arrived, hot and melty. It was on a bed of chips, the amount of which shocked me! The whole plate was covered with them. I even took a large box of them back to the hotel for a later snack; they were too good to just leave abandoned. The sandwich was great, just the comfort food I needed that afternoon. There are other items I would try on the menu, so I hope to find myself in Simi Valley again. A great place with great food and service.

Tables were pretty close to each other but I don't think this was harmful to the experience at all just a thought. They had Christmas decorations still up. Food: We ordered the Calamari Fritti, the calamari was underseasoned but well fried and the shrimp that came with it was well seasoned but only came with 4 pieces. The pesto aioli that came with it was very tasty. Alfredo sauce in the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo was strong and its high fat content added a lot of body to it, very garlicky and American, but be warned it was very salty! The pasta was pretty overcooked. The Chicken Parmesan was well seasoned and quite a large portion, we chose to sub the mashed potatoes it comes with for a side of spaghetti (highly recommend for $4 extra). The spaghetti was a little undercooked but luckily the heat of the dish and rest of the food allowed it to get a little better as we ate. Service: We had called in and made a reservation ahead of time to make sure we could get a table. We got to the restaurant 10 minutes before our reservation and the host had somehow already crossed out my name, although that happened, they still had a table ready for us and we were seated within about a minute. The overall vibe that we got from our server was a little odd. She checked on us sporadically and it just felt that we were getting treated a little differently than others. With that being said, the bus boy was extremely professional and helpful. He brought out our food in a clean and calm manner. He was easier to get a hold of compared to our server and it felt that he was always willing and wanting to help.
