Outstanding little hole in the wall establishment in a small strip mall in Liberty Hill. The pasta dishes tasted similar to what we had when we visited Rome. Freshly made and with great care. Monica and the staff treated us very well and we will definitely return on our next visit to the Austin area. read more

Bella Sera Liberty Hill - Ambiance of the restaurant - Italian Near Me - Liberty Hill, Texas

The food is ok, and what you'd expect from a small-town Italian place that seems family run The service has been abysmal EVERY time we gave them a chance. They are the only Italian place near us. And the ambiance is ok; they could darken and improve with music. (Personally, I prefer the old dark Italian places with nooks everywhere.) Unfortunately, three strikes and you're out. Hopefully a better place comes to LH otherwise we'll keep driving elsewhere... read more

Casual restaurant with expected but interesting décor. The menu was diverse with so many options! I ordered the Bella Sera chicken and felt it lacked a little something but it was decent. My friend ordered the Chicken Calabrense. He said it was tasty but not exceptional. Both dishes were served over thin spaghetti which was delightful! The service was good. The prices were extremely high for the overall experience. I hear good things about this place so I'll come back and maybe try the pasta dishes next time if I feel like indulging financially. read more

Hidden in the strip mall at the corner of RM 1869 and Hwy 29 this is a secret gem. Order the salad and ask for the Nick's dressing, if you like garlic. It's garlic, basil olive oil and some lemon juice. Very tasty on the salad with diced lettuce, tomato and mozzarella cheese. Yumm! We bought had the chicken piccata and it was perfect. Chicken was succulent and the sauce was full of capers with great flavor. Highly recommend this place for dinner. read more

Had a wonderful experience at Bella Serra recently. I was a little pushy, ok probably a lot pushy, but it worked out and the end. I asked about non meat dishes and the chef helped lead me to a super yummy dish of egg plant parm and a side of pasta. I wish this was standard. I'd love to see some grilled veggies as an option and a pasta with veggies however in the meantime the egg plant is yummy. My SO had the pasta sampler. I'd still like to see the plating a little more inviting. I just say though that the pasta sauce is really good and the taste deep and yummy. read more

Ordered food for delivery. Everything was delicious. Would go back again for the chicken Marsala and garlic knots.

They do not know how to make a Philly cheese steak sandwich! You don't put marinara sauce on a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. I'm not sure what they were thinking. It's listed as a pizza place. Prices are a little high. Service was OK. I think they're trying too hard to be an upscale Italian restaurant. They're not achieving it. I've read some of the reviews. Not very impressive. Oh well. read more

Amazing food and environment. All the food was fresh. Best Italian food I had in years!

Fantastic authentic local Italian restaurant with lots of delicious options. We had a big party (10) and came on a Friday night and they were able to accommodate us. Everyone loved their food! The service is great and the atmosphere is lovely--very Italian! read more

Edible but not good Italian food. Even something as simple as Garlic Knots did not have any flavor. I order chicken Marsala and there was no sweet creamy wine sauce and also order Chicken a/ artichokes in a lemon butter sauce- not good either. All was very wet, like the noodles were over cooked and wet. I will not eat here again and will either drive to Bella Sera in Leander or go to Lugi's in Georgetown. Paid 50.00 for 2 meals that honestly tasted like boiled chicken and watery wet noodles with a small amount of flavor - Where is the Garlic folks? read more

Food was subpar , service was okay & the Ambiance. Food wasn't even close to decent. Eggplant was chewy and tasted old. Place smelled bad when we went in when they opened. Food tastes watered down and zero spice. I'm Italian and this place is a joke read more

Cutest restaurant with plenty of seating without feeling you are right up against the next table. Extremely friendly and efficient staff. Easy to understand menu with plenty of choices for even the pickiest eaters. And the food was phenomenal! I had the chicken parm with a side of spaghetti. Hubby had the manicotti and we both agreed that it was full of flavor and delicious. And the garlic knots that they so graciously start you with are to die for! Our server was so very kind. We will definitely be back! read more

Hubby and I tried this place on New Year's Eve, as we wanted pizza the last day of 2024. I saw it had decent reviews and decided to try it. I can honestly say it did not disappoint us. We got the Meat Lovers and Chicken Alfredo pizzas. Hubby liked the Meat Lovers and I LOVED the Chicken Alfredo! We wanted leftovers to take home so we got the 16" for each. New Years day we heated them up and they were still great the second time around. The service was good and needless to say we will be back. I want to try a pasta dish next time. The garlic knots we had were so soft and hot, I could've had them for my meal with the marinara sauce. The place was still decorated for Christmas, which did not bother me, but I think the normal decor could use a refresher. The staff was wonderful, I definitely do recommend it! read more

Good music, parking lot is shared. Ordered garlic & oil for the garlic knots. Best decision I've ever made. I ordered shrimp scampi, hubby got the pasta sampler, and daughter got kids fettuccine Alfredo. Each entree comes with chicken soup or salad. My god the chicken soup is amazing. Like Nona will fix it for you when you're heartbroken, sick, looking too skinny, or haven't seen her in a while. My shrimp scampi was acidic enough for me, shrimp tasted fresh. Hubby ate every bite of his pasta sampler. Said 110% we will come back. read more

Bella Sera Liberty Hill - Leftovers - Italian Near Me - Liberty Hill, Texas

What can I say other than the flavors are fantastic! They were slammed and they were working their butts off so the service was a little slow but we didn't mind at all. We wanted to try a couple things so we split the lasagna and ordered the Bella Sera pizza. Everything was delish, nice crisp on the crust of the pizza and the toppings were so fresh and aromatic. The lasagna layers were so flavorful! You do get garlic bread knots when you are seated and they were so soft, warm and buttery. They had a combination of booths, small tables and larger tables that could accommodate larger groups. They have 2 large TV's on each side of the room. Italian music and decor go well with their Italian accents. We will definitely be repeat customers. read more

Great Italian Fare in Liberty Hill, TX. For some time, I have been jonesing a really good but simple NY Style Tomato & Cheese Pizza. Today, I found one within walking distance of home. We also sampled the $9.99 Lunch Specials. There are numerous choices, but I had the Pasta Sampler, which is Lasagna, Cannelloni & Manicotti with Salad & House Baked Bread, and my brother ordered Eggplant Parmigiana, Chicken Soup & Bread. It was all wonderful. We will certainly be back for more. We chatted with proprietor Ben, who was most helpful with any of our questions. Move over Fratelli's, there's a new kid in town, and his name is Bella Sera. read more

The food is always fresh and delicious and the owner is the kindest, I love that it is a family owned business. The chef always visits the table to talk to guests and make sure that the food is good. Great restaurant for family gatherings and special occasions! I always order the Cesar salad with salmon, which is cooked to perfection! The fresh garlic bread is heaven, baked fresh every day! I come every week, loyal customer! read more

Courteous, friendly staff. Food was reasonably priced and delicious. Nice, cozy family owned establishment.

Love the garlic knots! Pizza is very good, but the pasta dishes are the best. Salads are fresh. Service is great.

2nd time trying Bella Sera (1st time was at their Leander location). It was just as immature as their shop in Leander. Overall experience on par with Sbarros. Not bad for a restaurant founded in a rural, low population area but I would expect more (including of service) if I'm being seated. Whether they survive during the maturing of the region -- and as more experienced competitors arrive -- is up to them. I'd love to see them do better! All around nice folks at both locations. Food: Very standard. Well prepared, ie nothing was burnt nor undercooked. Appears and tastes assembled from pre-made grocery store products. Nothing was wrong, but nothing was compelling either. Service: In a near empty restaurant, the waitress tried sticking us at the table closest to the bathroom. While still continuing our meal, she tried sticking us with the bill before asking if there's anything else she could provide. My wife has a sweet tooth and loves desert, but the experience left us fatigued - we closed out and left. read more

The food was excellent, great service, and really liked the atmosphere. Will definitely return!

Great service and great food. The atmosphere was very Italian but lacked patrons on a Saturday evening when they should have been packed!

The wife and I ordered two different dishes. Chicken Marsala @ $20.89 & Chicken Piccata @ $20.89. My Chicken Marsala was nothing like a Marsala sauce. It tasted like chicken broth with a few spices thrown in. No sherry wine, no cream and over all taste like boiled chicken with mushrooms over spaghetti. The Garlic knots had no flavor, buttery but no flavor such as garlic. Maybe a bad night? I don't know, but for a $50 + take out meal, I'm not willing to chance it again. read more

Food was not presentable. No communication on what's suggested to eat. Service was the worst, my waiter never spoke to me or came back (an older man) to ask if I needed anything. I felt like I was an inconvenience. I won't be back. read more

My husband and I went here tonight for the first time. We sat at the bar (our choice). The owner was our server. He went out of his way to explain the menu and give us recommendations . Hot knot rolls came out first. They were so delicious. My husband and I both got salads and we shared the Italian combo. Wow, that was fantastic. We ended our meal with a lemon cake dessert that the other waiter recommended. It was to die for. Great recommendation. We will definitely be back. So happy that we have such a great gem in our little city. read more

We came upon this restaurant this evening because we were actually thinking of having Subways for dinner but decided to check this restaurant out and I'm glad we did. We were very happy with our dinner. Hubby ordered the Pasta Sampler and I had the spaghetti with meat sauce. We also ordered fried calamari. Everything was very delicious. This place is a small family restaurant. I believe in supporting small businesses. Our server Frank was very attentive and very nice. Will definitely come back to try out their other dishes. read more

My friend and I had dinner there one weekday evening. It was to celebrate my birthday as well as to just have chat time. It was our first time there. The restaurant has great ambience. The wait staff is very friendly and helpful. We had the Pasta Fagioli soup, side salads and baked ziti. It was all delicious and good sized portions. Our waiter always had a smile on his face. He kept up with filling our waters and making sure we had what we needed. I was treated to a desert for my birthday which was very kind of him. My friend and I were there till it closed. We had the best time! Excellent food and excellent service. This restaurant is a hidden gem in Liberty Hill. read more

We have been regulars here. No more. They were busy and the food is always on point. Our server was the letdown. We have been regulars since they opened. This has been our special place because of the food. The service has been ok. Tonight the server had such a poor attitude. We don't mind waiting for drinks or food , but don't slam the drinks on the table and act like I'm imposing on you by asking if I can have some water after I've been seated for over 15minutes. I'm pretty patient. We ordered our food and drinks together and I usually anticipate a wait for food when a place is busy but he acted angry and imposed upon. I would have left after the first nasty look and slamming of our drinks, but my husband wanted to give it a chance. We also had to ask and wait longer for rolls and our salad. We were in the restaurant for more than 1.5 hours. Won't be back as the server spoiled the whole experience. We drive 30 minutes to get to this place. We will now take our dollars elsewhere. I spotter's do too. read more

Not good food, and not so great service. I order veggie pizza, i happened to taste a tomatoe piece out of it and it tasted bad and can smell bad as well, I complained to waiter he appeared no big deal. The water is bad as well. I regret paying 34$ for a pizza and bruschetta! It's expensive! read more
