Food was delicious! Better Italian menu than most Italian - American establishments. The staff is friendly with customers and each other. Very warm and welcoming place. Felt comfortable taking my 1 year old. Very clean and relaxed Would recommend and would go again read more

Dined here for the first time on a Sunday for my birthday, based on reviews. Bit of a disappointment; portions adequate, salads average, Calamari appetizer pretty good, Chicken marsala skimpy on the chicken, & have had much better Clams & red elsewhere. For the price, could have gone to Olive Garden for just as good a meal & about $20.00 cheaper. Live & learn. Won't be back. read more

Hey. Unassuming low key and personal service. This isn't Olive Garden. I enjoyed the garlic bread. Homemade and very nice. I had the chicken cacciatore and it was good. Not great but good. The chicken was tough and tasted precooked and added at the end. My guest had shrimp scampi and it was very good also. The salads were fresh and I was full when I left which is a plus considering I'm use to western style portions. The prices are typical of Italian and I did enjoy myself. It's a nice diversion from the norm. read more

We discovered this place when visiting Comfort and ate there every night. Great food, super nice staff at a reasonable price. We will be back! read more

The food was definitely at least 3-4 stars. There are not a lot of choices in downtown boerne. My wife had the Italian sampler which had great flavor. Based on the menu it looks like it had several selections inside. After it was covered with cheese and marinara it all looked the same. Definitely a YUM! I had the three meat pizza after being lured by the warm hot bread. The bread was better than the pizza but still very enjoyable. The service was poor. Long time between getting drink refills and what I would say was unresponsive. read more

Bella Sera - Pizza Near Me - Boerne, Texas

Wow! What a sorry excuse for an Italian restaurant. This is frozen Sam'sClub tortellini and pre-cooked Tyson grilled chicken strips they are serving here. The Olive Garden is gourmet compared to this place. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME FOLKS read more

Bella Sera is one of the only Italian specialty restaurants in Boerne, Texas. Upon entry there is a bar area on the right and dining room on the right. I've sat and ate with my family several times and took carry-out multiple times. The food has decent flavors no complaints and the service is decent too. Bella Sera is a convenient location for us. If we want higher quality food and service, we normally would take a road trip toward San Antonio. read more

Bella Sera - Pizza Near Me - Boerne, Texas

Love there garlic bread, had lasagna it was good and glass of wine cost me 30.00 for lunch

First thing the owner/manager is a jerk, he was very rude to us on two different occasion, one on a take out order, went to pick it up and our paper bag was soggy and the order was ripping the bag I very politely ask if I could get a repack or a plastic bag The jerk manager freaked out and refused, and was very rude Second time, same Russian manager verbally assaulted my mother in law About the bill , when she questioned a wrong charge, he is not a nice person!!! The food is mediocre at best, definitely not worth dealing with the jerk owner Only way I would ever return to this place is if he issues a very public apology or I could kick him in the nuts for being so rude read more

Today was an achievement of one item on my bucket list. What a dream come true. The beauty of the taste was heaven. Bella should be a 5 star Michelin Star restaurant as the restaurant menu is an explosion on your taste buds. And lunch servings are beyond expectations. Looking forward to regular meals from such a great restaurant. read more

What a hidden gem this place is! We've driven past it a few times , never paying it any attention. Last night we wanted to try something new. We passed it yet again and turned around, thinking we'd give it a try. It was fantastic!! Amazing garlic knots brought to the table. I got lasagna and my hubby got baked ziti. Both were so delicious. We shared a fantastic Cesar salad. Everyone around us was ordering and indulging on pizza so we know that we have to go back for that next. The staff was professional and courteous. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to everyone. read more

We love this small, local Italian restaurant! Every dish we have eaten has been delicious. The rolls are amazing! Hubby's favorite dish is the triple pasta. Love the pizza. And...It's BYOB!! read more

All I have to say is OMG!!! My second time here and it was just as great! First time tried the lasagna, manicotti, cannelloni. Delicious! Second time tried the chicken tetrazzini and its simply delectable! Perfectly made and seasoned, large portion and comes with a soup or salad. My husband ordered chicken piccata twice, cuz it's his favorite. I have to say the bread that is delivered is not only beautiful, its is the best bread I've ever had. I could easily come here for the bread and tea. The wait staff are ALL super friendly, all working hard to please everyone. They seem to work together very well. I've lived in Boerne for 3 years and can't believe I waited so long to try it! read more

When we arrived, either we weren't noticed, or the three employees in the front were too busy talking to stop and greet us. Once we were seated, we had a courteous waiter, and our food arrived promptly. I was quite disappointed at the quality of the spaghetti and meatballs. Two small, lukewarm meatballs with little flavor and no texture. The meatballs were the size of quarters. No apparent seasoning in the sauce, either. read more

Best Neapolitan pizza in Boerne (fight me!) They also have good pasta, chicken parm is hearty. Get the garlic oil. read more

Good food. Disappointed that when we asked for an up charge to Caesar salad we were charged $ 6.99. Not told that was going to happen. We assumed $2. An entire salad was $6.99. Then the bill was 90$. I gave them 120$ (100 and a 20 to leave 22%) cash .. said this will work and they didn't bring back any change. Didn't even say thanks as in it was a huge tip, left and didn't come back. So, good food, but not happy. Our $120 tonight was far more valuable. We will go other places from now own. It's easy to drive by someplace else. This was in Boerne. We lived in Leander, visited that location once. Never went back. Trying to recall why ... it was in 2019 and we went once. In the end I was happy there was gluten free pasta. Extremely unhappy our meal came with a $4.99 salad and were not even comped for that but charged $6.99 more ! Don't surprise at the end of the meal - tell a customer !!! read more

Bella Sera took over the space from Fredo's, another Italian restaurant. I have now been twice to Bella Sera in Boerne. Relatively new. Yesterday, I had the pasta sampler: manicotti, lasagna and cannelloni. Not bad, just hard to tell what is under all that cheese until you cut into it. Served in a baking dish very hot. All food is served hot, which is a good thing. Be careful. Lunch specials come with a green salad or chicken soup for $8.99. The latter caught me off guard. Soup that's not wedding or Minestrone? Today I had the spaghetti and meatballs. Two small meatballs, nothing to get excited about. Not bad, just plain meatballs. Dinner menu gets pricey. The star of this place is the bread. Large, somewhat knotted garlic rolls. Soft and delicious. The place is really not bad. I will go back and try the pizza stay tuned. read more

I've gone three more times since my last review. Each time they've exceeded expectations with both food quality and service. Happy to say that the ambiance of one of my favorite eateries in Boerne is back and better than ever. read more

Bella Sera - Chicken tetrazzini - Pizza Near Me - Boerne, Texas

Unfortunately we've tried Bella Sera multiple times because it's the only Italian restaurant in town, but I just don't see anything here to keep us coming back. I honestly go out for Italian because some of it is so labor intensive so I'm willing to pay for it but the quality here just doesn't do it for me. I know a lot of people LOVE IT so YMMV, but it's not somewhere we're returning to any time soon. read more

When placing a delivery order through their website and was redirected to Slice.com to place order. Order had pepperoni pizza, cheese pizza was delivered. Talked to management, was told to get refund from Slice. It was the restaurant that didn't follow receipt or order slip. Explicitly told person on the phone after order was placed corn allergy for sandwich, restaurant used bread with cornmeal. Also refund needs to be taken up with Slice.com as if it was Slice who almost sent someone to the hospital. I don't recommend restaurant because of the lack of quality control and failure to follow order slips. I would not trust them with another order for anyone with food allergies. read more

Friendly family owned restaurant with solid Italian food! The lasagna is great and killer garlic knots are worth going for in their own!!

We were able to sit inside & was glad to see other folks there. Every table was distanced from the other. Servers wore masks. The food was delicious & the service was impeccable. It's great to support local dining in our area. read more

Ate lunch 1p with group of #10. Offered lunch specials with ample portions : most of us did take home . We all had something different ; definitely no complaints ! Enjoyed the thick rich sauce, & food was hot. The salads were cold and crisp ; dressings on the side were delicious. food was served simultaneously. Bread & cheesecake delicious; our waiter did a fine job! read more

I don't love the ambiance of the restaurant, so we generally order take out. Highly recommend the food! My favorite is Salmon Picatta and Caprese salad. The baked Ziti, add Alla Pana sauce is amazing! My husband loves the pizza and Stromboli. Garlic knot rolls are to die for! Try it! read more

What happened to Bella Sera in Boerne? Hankering for some good Italian food and some good wine sent us to their door. Can't complain about the bread and the salad, super good. The veal parmigiana was meh and the server made no effort to serve a good glass of Chardonnay. She clearly felt she was doing me a favor by taking my order! What happened to upselling the wine at an Italian food restaurant? Stunned and disappointed at the lack of customer service. There was no check back on the wine service, only the food. The sass was real, she should be retrained. No thanks BS,I can go to that other place down the road. BS is BS! read more

Great food! The veal parm was the best I've had in this area. And, the service was outstanding. A spendid family-run Italian restaurant.

3 stars...service was good and food was eh, bland for Italian. I wish they would flavor the sauces and soup better. The bread they serve when you first sit was excellent and very fresh. Again, not my taste of Italian food/cuisine. Add more garlic, pepper and herbs to flavor the food better. read more

Outstanding!! One of best Italian restaurants I have been at Very deep menu with everything you would expect, I had the chicken Parm, large serving not over cooked served on angel hair pasta. The home made gravy was not too sweet with a subtle taste My wife had the Chicken Piccata Just the right amount of lemon. A Friend had the Cacciatore . Sane results Excellent serviced and good prices If we did not live outside of Austin, would be our go to place read more

A hidden gem in Boerne. Casual, family style eatery. Wait staff are friendly and literally run around the place! Menu is fairly broad with many offerings. Homemade rolls were delicious. Esposa had fettuccine carbonara, the sauce for which was actually more like an Alfredo sauce; Dee-lish nonetheless. I had shrimp pasta, which was equally yummy. Prices are low at $16 and $18, respectively. The wine list is limited and features approachable, entry-level wines at fair prices. We had a nice Soave Bolla. Dessert was tiramisu and the best authentic one we've had. All in all, a very nice place for dinner. read more

Ordered a take out pizza and ended up w something different. When I called they were happy to replace or provide a free pizza next time. Pizza is ok. Not really difficult than Pizza Hut or Papa Johns. read more

So very disappointed!! Have been coming here for years and will not come back!! I ordered a dish under the heading "comes with salad" very close to the dish I usually order. When I asked about my salad I was told it only comes with dishes over $16.99 - my dish was $15.99. Fine I said, how much for a side salad - response $4.99!!! I said charge me $16.99 for my dinner and give me a salad! I asked to talk to a manager and they sent another waiter over who just echoed our waitress. It is NOT marked in the menu at all. How utterly stupid to deny a customer a salad over $1!!! Also can you say "misrepresentation!" And the manager couldn't be bothered to come over!! Horrible customer service. Very very disappointed in a restaurant we loved to come to. read more

Very disappointed this time around. My fettuccine was swimming in Alfredo sauce. My husband ordered spaghetti and got angel hair. That was not our issue. We didn't get our appetizer. And my salad that was included in my meal never came and we were not given any discount. I was asked why I didn't get my salad. I responded by saying cause you never gave to me read more

Best service n Italian food restaurant ever lunch specials until 3 pm awesome food go there

A very nice find in Boerne! Authentic Italian, broad selection, very low prices, and delicious food! We had the Chicken Damabianca and the Pasta Sampler. They came with side salads and Garlic Knots, which were very tasty. We can't wait to go back and try some more. read more

Tried it out for the first time a few days ago. The staff was friendly and prompt, the restaurant was clean, and the food was good. My kids are picky eaters and they tore up their food. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Recently moved to boerne and found this little gem. To start this place has a warm cozy vibe. They play good music and the food is *Chefs Kiss* Delicious. My server Sissy was very attentive but all the staff is really friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend a visit and I will be returning with friends / family. read more

Date night with my wife and Bella Sera came through again! Restaurant was very busy but we were immediately seated. Our waitress was very attentive. We ordered our drinks and entrees which both came with salads. I had the house and my wife asked for a Cesar. Mine was very plain only lettuce and cheese. Dressing tasted homemade. My wife ordered the ravioli and I had the chicken Bella Sera. Both were fresh and delicious. That was the good, the only thing I didn't like was as the fact that they charged us $6.99 for my wife's Cesar salad even though her entree came with a salad and a charge was never mentioned. This just rubbed me the wrong way and put a slight damper on an otherwise great dinner! We will be back. read more

Not many Italian options in Boerne and this one is a good choice. The service is pretty standard but the wait time to get your food is a little slower then others around. They have lunch specials that are pretty standard. read more

What's more important to YOU: the food quality or the service? Out of the gate: slow service. Next the waiter didn't know the daily special which is part of their job. Ran out of the chicken soup on the special. What? Took longer than expected (notice a theme here) to get our bread AND our meal. The main course was a pleasant surprise! Shrimp, chicken and Italian sausage in a creamy, spicy sauce. Very good and Italian food might be my least favorite genre of food. read more

This places sucks soooo badly. I had the lasagna, and it was the worst I have ever had in my life. It tasted weird and smelled like it was super old! The rolls were as hard as rocks. Don't come here expecting any quality whatsoever bc you won't find it here. Prices are also on the high side. read more
