Amanda is the best server! She suggested the dipping sauce whereas no other server we have had ever suggested the dipping sauce with the delicious complimentary rolls. So we tried it! And wow is it good! It is oil, garlic, rosemary and oregano. Mmm! We asked for more, she brought us more. We let her know at the beginning that we were celebrating Larry and Dianna's 53rd Wedding Anniversary! She said she would make it special! She is doing just that! Thank you, Amanda! You're THE BEST! read more

Amazing food! Great service! Warm and welcoming vibe! Came here for my Mom's 85th birthday and everything from appetizers to my main course was delicious! I had the Ribeye Marsala. There garlic bread knots were freshly made and hot! We all enjoyed our meals! read more

Well executed, straight-forward, classic New York Style pizza... We ordered a large cheese pizza for pick-up. The order was ready on time, the restaurant immaculate, and the team member upfront friendly. The dough was baked perfectly allowing for that classic NY style fold. The mozzarella was salty and the sauce sweet. I do prefer a bit of spice in my sauce, but Bella's was a nice change. Recommend... cheers! read more

This restaurant is the best Italian restaurant in the Hill Country. The atmosphere and decor is like a ristorante in Santa Maria Novella in Florence Italy. Stephen (Stefano in Italian) and his crew were friendly and attentive. The pizza is New York style and was made from scratch with the finest ingredients -- delicious !! The price was inexpensive for such an amazing atmosphere, cuisine and service. read more

Visiting from Houston I was pleased, no surprised, no actually shocked to find a five star restaurant in Kerrville Texas! We have given up trying to find hot food and good service at home, it's one or the other but Bella Sera provided both. We had a wonderful attentive waitress and our food must have come directly from the oven to our table it was so hot. Not my usual choice I tried the veal Parm, delicious! The whole experience was a home run!!!! read more

As stated and pictured, pizza is oftentimes bordering on inedible. This isn't the first time the pizza has been this way, but it is the last time we were going to be accepting the excuses. Pizza with a crisp crust is fine, but tasting the burnt taste is not. Having a rude employee and dismissing the quality as not knowing how pizza should be made is also not ok. I grew up in NY and my wife grew up in NJ, we are both extremely familiar with Pizza parlors and the different types of Pizza. When Bella Sera makes the pizza correctly, it is great, no doubt. Unfortunately, their consistency is lacking, as is their service. read more

Nice. Not overly expensive. A very casual place to get good food *********************************** read more

This is the closest thing I can find to actual New York/New Jersey Pizza in Texas. I haven't covered the whole state yet of course, but as far as KERRVILLE goes, this is the one to get. First bite of the cheese pizza took me right back to the boardwalk in Wildwood. It's that good. I never load up my pizza with a bunch of veggies, so it's plain cheese for me, and this one turned out to be the best I've ever had in this area. Prices are reasonable and service is always outstanding. Oh... Don't forget to ask them to make the bottom a little crispy. Perfect. read more

I love seafood and they have an amazing Frutti de Mare Pasta! The portion size was really great and the food was tasty. I love finding a new place while out of town read more

In town for business. Excellent dinner spot to decompress. We were assisted by the incredible, Myra. She's a gem and her recommendations are spot on. read more

The food was very good. The service was good and point on. Myra is very good at her job. Now for the other side of this review. It is very unprofessional for most of the staff to hover and lean on the hostess station, talking about who did what with who. I am all for camaraderie, but for the better part of an hour just leaning and talking. Then between their assigned tables they were back to leaning. I was in house for almost two hours at a table with a front row seat to all of this. It is just a bad look... read more

Did a take-out dinner meal and the front did a good job taking my order and making sure everything came out correctly. I went with the Pasta Fagioli Soup and Tortellini Alla Vodka with a side salad. I started the meal with the salad and the Tortellini Alla Vodka...good salad everything crisp and fresh and the Tortellini Alla Vodka was good. The Tortellini was perfectly cooked and the sauce was good, but not really an Alla Vodka sauce versus a "pink" sauce. Sadly...the Pasta Fagioli Soup was not good and it was tossed after one spoonful. It almost tasted burnt, but as much as I love this soup this one wasn't even close. read more

A simple relaxing atmosphere . No "special effects" like some new Kerrville places fail at. Good food.Especially love the Chicken ceasar salad Pasta dishes are delicious Salmon Verona so good. Garlic knots take some home! Took my grandkids here and their mom everyone got something different so we shared. I need to try some of the other things The menu has many choices read more

I got a takeout pizza to consume in my motel room & it was delicious! I couldn't finish it that night & I was leaving the morning after. The pizza was so good that I took it with me to eat: a) while waiting in the airport; b) on the flight home; and c) once I got home! read more

I've been to many Bella Sera's in the Hill Country ( I believe I've only missed the one in Fredericksburg, TX), but none top this location. The ambiance is excellent and the service also! Our party had the meat lasagna, the eggplant parmigiana and a Calzone. Chicken soup and Caesar salad were great. The garlic bread is to die for (if you are a bread lover). We had to request "fill 'er up again" on the bread basket. Your food is hot to the very last bite. All the food was well cooked and flavorful. Great tomato sauce on the hot plates and accompanying the calzone. If you like the mix of marinara sauce and white sauce (aka pink sauce), then you need to try their Alla Panna sauce. If you are in or near Kerrville, TX, or just passing through traveling on I-10, don't pass up the opportunity to dine at this great Italian Restaurant. read more

Celeste was a great server as always. She deserves 5 stars on her own. The food was mediocre at best then we got hit with our bill and every single price was wrong. Their reason? A 3% up-charge assuming you will pay with a credit card. Credit card fees are one thing but charging each individual line adds up to more than 3% read more

I've eaten Italian food in many places but the Bella Sera in Kerrville, TX is the best I've had. Spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs is the best. read more

The Alfredo pizza is my favorite! It does take some time for it to be prepared and cooked. Warms up well.

Delicious food and great service. This spot has the goods if you are looking for classic Italian American food. Really well done NY style pizza. We ordered plain cheese - the ultimate test of a good pizza with no toppings to hide behind. Great crust, good cheese, excellent sauce. Beware the garlic knots. They are addictive garlicy heaven designed to entrap your soul so you spend the rest of your life in this restaurant happily eating them forever. Good wine list (get with the program and order Chianti), really good citrusy house salad dressing (get Nick's dressing - olive oil, lemon and garlic). Skip the chicken soup - surprisingly bland although obviously housemade. The veal Siciliana is what veal piccata dreams it might grow up to be. Take a lemony veal piccata and add artichoke hearts and mushrooms. Plop it on a bed of angel hair pasta. Hedonistically eat and enjoy. The shrimp Fra Diavolo has beautifully cooked shrimp in a spicy yet nuanced sauce. FYI garlic lovers required. Great service from Sam. Very professional and also very charming. Servings are generous. Prepare for leftovers, highly recommended. read more

My friends have dined here many times so we decided to enjoy a nice meal in this highly recommended Italian restaurant. There was no wait although it got a bit busier as the evening progressed. I had difficulty getting interior photos trying to avoid the diners so I apologize for the poor photos. The interior is separated into several smaller dining areas. My friend picked up the tab which was on the higher end as they enjoyed a large antipasto and sides, as well as a beer in addition to their meals. I chose the children's spaghetti with meatballs. The waitress forgot the meatballs and brought me 4 medium sized meatballs on the side. The pasta was a very thin almost angel hair pasta. The sauce was tasty. I don't recall the dishes my friends selected but I did get photos. The complimentary garlic herb rolls were warm and soft and filling. I devoured one and regretted it trying to eat my spaghetti portion a short time later. In fairness I can only judge my small portion, the service and the decor. All of those 3 aspects were good, not out of this world fantastic but my friends who are more frequent patrons truly love the food. So my 4 stars is mostly based on their experiences and enthusiasm. read more

Always fabulous-the belasara pizza is awesome and the chicken parmigiana is like your moma made it !

A very good place to eat. Great service, great meal, with large portions. The food is well prepared, the service is great and the location is easy to get to. Plenty of seating for large parties. Will eat here again. Nice wine selection as well. read more

Seven years ago my wife and I ate here while on our way to Arizona and we loved it. As we are on our way to Big Bend NP we decided to stop for lodging and a meal. We were glad to see Bella Sera survived COVID and is still serving excellent Italian cuisine. Their food remains excellent, the menu is extensive, the waitstaff are courteous and the owners (now five, up from the original two) are courteous and obviously take pride in their establishment. Hope it's not another seven years before my next visit, but if it is, be assured this is where I'll be having dinner. read more

Good wasn't all that great. Dessert was dry. The lady that checked me out had her kids there at work, which came running from the kitchen area and the little one tried to run out the front door while I was trying to pick up my order. I'm fine with people having to take their kids to work with them, but keep them under control. I had to get into the little one before he ran out the door as no one was there at the time to catch him. Made me very uncomfortable for his safety. read more

Big margarita pizza and great service from Alicia. Overall good experience. The bread they offer is really good as well. Very hot and fresh.

I ordered eggplant rollatini, it came with raw mushy eggplant. I could not eat it nor could I send it back because it was delivered.

Ordered the chicken alfredo, received ham and mushroom. (I am jewish). Watery sauce, No napkins, no fork to eat it with. Came with EIGHT garlic rolls that I did not order. Someone is asleep at the switch in the back of house, No refund offered. They asked me to 'call back in half an hour'. Ridiculous. read more

I travel to Kerrville a few times a year for work and always like to hit this place. I usually have something different every time and it's always great! Good bread too as well as good service. Myra, I want my cheesecake next time! read more

Calamari for appetizer was excellent. My wife got the lasagna and I got the sampler all very good service was excellent. Will be back soon.

Last minute plans for Valentine's day and only had a short wait. Food and service was wonderful

I feel that Bella Sera has gone down hill. I was disappointed in my last visit. The fried cheese tasted okay. I wouldn't recommend anyone getting them. I used to come here all the time for the lasagna and something about it tasted off. I added the full menu pictures in case anyone wanted to review the lunch specials! read more

Don't order Nick's Salad unless you really don't want "a salad." Not as advertised- no tomatoes, no capers, no peppers. Salad primarily contained massive amount of chicken and croutons. Stromboli was very good. read more

Worst service and pizza we have ever had. Our server was very incompetent . She took our order wrong, delivered our buttery rolls on a piece of parchment paper, delivered to our table a cold pizza, brought us a small piece of foil to wrap up our left over pizza in and over charged us by $24.00! Never again! read more

Really good food in a dining room that is well-decorated. Our server was friendly and answered all questions about the menu. We had a bottle of wine with dinner from a pretty nice wine list with many choices. The food menu also offered a really nice variety of choices. The salads were fresh and the dressings good. Both of our meals had a nice presentation, and my veal marsala was light and delicious. It was a relaxing, enjoyable meal in a nice setting with friendly service. Well worth another trip! read more

Food is fine, service is fine, but I had to stand there for five minutes before I was greeted. Once I sat, an ATM was being installed and I got to listen to drilling, pounding, and hammering so loud I couldn't carry on a conversation. It was off putting and we packed up our food and left. Took away a star for ambiance alone. read more

Very very good food here. Had a small Margherita pizza and a chicken Verona. Very flavorful and great service.

I was basically wanting steak, but another restaurant basically refused me because I was dressed in hiking gear. I am glad they did. This restaurant was absolutely spectacular! I had the steak with a seafood sauce and the steak cut like butter with plastic ware ( I took it to go). I also had a salad, fried calamari, and tiramisu. All of it was absolutely tasty! I highly suggest this restaurant! read more
