I had a 12:30 reservation on Saturday and, as always, had an amazing experience. I've been here several times before, but this time I brought my boyfriend's family. Our server was very friendly, attentive, and generous with their time helping us. They brought us complimentary bread with tomato dip. The bread is super fresh and soft! My boyfriend and I love their raspberry panna cotta with balsamic glaze. This time, they had a new caramel lavender flavor, which was also good. Our favorite dishes were the Pasta Norcina, Cavoletti, Carbonara Sbagliata, and Marrcune ca vodka. Every time I've come here, the food quality and service have been consistent. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great vibes, great drinks, good food, amazing service! Drinks and pasta were good, but the service was the highlight of the show. Came here as a party of 8 on a Friday night, and our server was not only patient, but also had a great sense of humor and knew hospitality well. There is a live DJ in the house, so the vibes were great. Great spot for cocktails as well! read more

Went to Bella Trattoria for a date night dinner and overall had a really great experience ! The ambiance is small and intimate, which made it perfect for a date night. It's quiet but still has a lively energy to it, and the dim lighting gives it that cozy Italian dinner feel :) Definitely a spot you can sit, talk, and enjoy your time. Service throughout the night was solid. Food came out hot, fresh, and everything felt well paced. Polpette della Casa Really good start. The meatballs were tender and flavorful, and the tomato cream sugo paired really well with the eggplant and zucchini caponata. Carbonara Sbagliata Super rich and creamy with a good amount of pancetta. The pecorino and black pepper really come through, and the pasta itself was cooked perfectly. Maccarune Ca Vodka (added sausage) Another solid dish. The sauce was smooth and flavorful, and the sausage added a nice depth and heartiness to it. Toward the end of my pasta, I did find something in my food, but after letting the staff know, they handled it really well. They were apologetic right away, and the head chef/owner came out personally to apologize, which I appreciated. They ended up taking my entrée off the bill, gave us another entrée to take home, and also brought out a tiramisu on the house. Tiramisu Honestly one of the best I've had, OAT. Light, creamy, and perfectly balanced without being too sweet. Overall Mistakes can happen anywhere, but what stood out was how they handled it. The level of care and service really made the difference. Because of that, I would definitely come back. Thank you for the amazing night again! read more

Wanted to try a cozy comfy Italian restaurant that wasn't from my usual go to! Ambiance / decor was a mixed bag of Hispanic, Italian, rustic, old diner American esque / modern vibes with dim lighting and a lowkey hidden entrance. Hosts were kind but the waiter was very pushing on trying to have us do the dinner special which isn't a bad value (but pink elephant has a better happy hour dinner deal...) kind of was strange like it was a marketing scheme. Food overall was delicious, not pictured was a pizza we got which basically tasted like a sour charcuterie bread with no cheese which was the only let down. Squid ink gnocchi: Star of the show that was full of seafood goodness in each bite with a creamy sauce and yummy chunks of potatoy garlic goodness. For its price point I wish the gnocchi was rolled out to be bigger; the portion felt like an appetizer but luckily the freebies made up for it. Freebies: Panna cotta Glad this was included it was light and fleshing with the electric tartness from the raspberries. The Panna cotta was beautifully gelatinous. Bread with tomato paste(+ olive oil?) strange combo; wish it was balsamic because the tomato was not evident but the bread was delicious and bouncy! read more

Bella Trattoria -- Solid carb-load spot in SF First time in California--and San Francisco--as an adult. We booked a same-day reservation for a group of five at Bella Trattoria the night before my half marathon (Bay Breeze Half Marathon), specifically to carb-load. Because it was the day before Valentine's Day, the menu was prix fixe only--2 or 4 courses, no à la carte. I went with the 2-course option ($45), fully vegetarian: Antipasto Tricolore -- arugula, mixed greens, chopped artichokes, olives, balsamic. Fresh, simple, and did the job. Entrée Spaghetti all'Arrabbiata -- fresh spaghetti, San Marzano D.O.P. tomato sugo, garlic, onions, shallots, Calabrian chili peppers. This was the standout. I was slightly worried it'd be bland (bad pre-race pasta experiences in the past), but this had real depth and heat. Bright tomato flavor, noticeable spice, and well-seasoned throughout. Not a "blow-your-mind" dish, but very solid and exactly what I wanted before a race. For the table, we also had complimentary garlic bread, polenta di Bella with mushrooms, and a smoked salmon pasta. The bread with tomato sauce was especially good--slightly sweet, rich, and felt authentically Italian. Dessert Chocolate pistachio gelato (excellent), and they kindly threw in a panna cotta with berries on the house. I mostly stuck to the gelato since I had a race the next morning--no need to gamble with GI issues. Verdict: Good food, generous service, and impressive that we snagged a late, same-day reservation. Bonus point: I placed 3rd overall and 3rd male the next day--so yes, I'm giving the pasta partial credit. A dependable Italian spot in the heart of SF. Would return if I'm back in the area. read more

They usually get busy, so we made reservations and were seated quickly. We were placed in the front room where a DJ was playing music, and combined with conversations, it became somewhat noisy. After talking with others, it sounds like the back room is much quieter. For food, we started with the Cavoletti and Bruschetta. The Brussels sprouts were tasty, but the bruschetta was just okay. For our mains we had the Ravioli di Piselli, which was flavorful, the Fruitti di Mare with plenty of seafood, and the Arribbiata, which had a very small portion. Although the restaurant was extremely busy, our waiter kept us informed about what was happening with our food, which we appreciated. read more

I came here on a Saturday night and made reservations, but it wasn't busy. The restaurant itself is very cute and would be a good vibe for a date. We got the Gorgonzola gnocchi and the It's not Carbonara. The gnocchi was very soft and melts in your mouth, I would definitely recommend it. The carbonara was just okay. Overall I'd come back. read more

A nice neighborhood Italian restaurant, with a large menu that will delight any level of appetite and tastes. They make everything fresh here and the restaurant is quite beautiful inside. It is definitely cozy because it's a smaller space, but the ambiance is nice. It was very dark inside and at your table though. Our group had a hard time reading their menu, I had to honestly magnify the menu on my phone to see it better, but even then, it was barely visible and had my friend look at it for me. I chose the "It's Not Carbonara," which was fettuccine, butternut squash, and pecarino bits. It was a nice vegan option and I am a fan of butternut squash. It was rich as expected and pretty tasty. My group got their three-course meal, which came with a choice of dessert. We shared a raspberry tart flan-like dessert, which was also good. Our server was very attentive and gave good table service. Water service was also good. Street parking only, but parking can be close or you may have to park a few blocks away. Recommend taking the 38 bus and walk less than a block to get to the restaurant. read more

Went later in the night since they close at 10pm. Nice ambiance with dim lighting. Service was pretty good. Appetizers: I thought the complimentary bread felt nice and soft, but the gf felt it was old and cold compared to hot & buttery bread served at other restaurants. Next, the Bruschetta ca' pummarola tasted the best out of all the orders. Main: We went with the three course prix fixe meal: 1. Swordfish Carpaccio Antipasti tasted... interesting; like salty dried fish, maybe not our taste? 2. When the Squid Ink Fettuccine and Salmon Fettuccini came with "a lot of plate", the portion initially looked small, but there was actually a good amount of pasta there. But flavor for both was lacking and quite salty; we could not finish it due to the sodium. 3. Panna cotta - it was okay. Overall 3/5 for the food. I bookmarked this place awhile back and was glad to try it, but will likely not return. read more

My husband and I really love the food at Bella Trattoria so much so that we've gone for both their Thanksgiving menu and their Christmas Eve menu. It has that "special occasion" feel without being overly stiff: dim, cozy, intimate, and very Inner Richmond. Food-wise, they absolutely showed up. I started with the Rucola e Acchiughe (burrata with white anchovies, lemon-infused olive oil, and arugula). It was bright, salty, creamy, and perfectly balanced--one of those dishes where every bite tastes like it belongs together. George ordered the Polpette della Casa, and this was comfort food done right: tender beef-and-pork meatballs in a rich tomato sugo, with chopped eggplant and zucchini mixed in for extra depth. It felt hearty and homemade in the best way. For mains, my Osso Buco was fantastic: deep, slow-cooked flavor, wonderfully rich sauce, and the housemade fettuccine soaking up every bit of that braised goodness. George's Eggplant Parmigiana was excellent too: grilled eggplant layered with asiago and mozzarella, baked until melty and bubbly, then served over a vibrant San Marzano sugo. Honestly, everything tasted like it had real care behind it. Portions were generous. We had enough leftovers to eat happily for two more days. That said... the service was rough, especially on Christmas Eve. The restaurant wasn't busy and it wasn't understaffed. The most memorable (and frustrating) moment was waiting 15 minutes just to get milk for our coffee. Coffee is $9 a mug. Delays like that add up, and George was genuinely upset. He has been in the food industry all his life and he felt like the slow, inattentive pacing put a damper on what was supposed to be a festive night. Bella Trattoria can serve a truly delicious meal, and the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing, especially for holiday menus. But the front-of-house experience can be inconsistent, and on a day like Christmas Eve, that matters. I'll still come back for the food (because it really is that good), but I'd go in with patience and slightly lowered expectations on service. George says he'll never dine in there again because of the service, but might consider ordering food from them and picking it up. read more

Lovely experience at this place. Seated quickly and brought us water and bread. The server was so attentive yet gave us space. Me and my friend both ordered salads and main dishes. We enjoyed the salad and drink so much we took our main course to go. The waiter boxed our food nicely and brought us a yummy dessert. Was a great experience, will definitely return. read more

Around 2:30pm, on a Thursday near the end of lunch, we stopped in at Bella Trattoria, an intimate restaurant and bar with darkwood subdued decor. We had strong espresso and coffee, and $8 panna cotta, a dense custard of slowly-cooked cream, sweet thick strawberry compote jam, with a lightly tart lightly balsamic glaze. They have a rich creative menu and an exciting range of spirits. Alas, we were just passing through. read more

A group of friends and I came here on my birthday weekend. We made a same day reservation and were seated upon arrival. The restaurant is in the heart of the Richmond district and is pretty sizable. There is a pretty authentic Italian feel to this spot. The workers were very friendly, talkative, and warm. Service was decently quick too. I wanted the frutti di mare but it wasn't on the menu at the time. Our waiter was still able to ask the kitchen to make it for me though which was great! It was delicious, and the seafood portion was generous. Since it was my birthday, they brought out a panna cotta on the house which was really sweet. It was amazing, not overly sweet, very smooth and creamy. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're craving Italian. Authentic, delicious, and great service! read more

We came in the restaurant confused as what the atmosphere is. The restaurant was undoubtedly intimate, however the decor was conflicting. Ceiling Mexican decorated paper made it Mexican. The door way had neon lights and a random type writer gave it dive bar and historic theme. I'm not an interior design but that it was interesting lol. Food was decent. I was hoping the house bread to be more crunchier. Bone marrow could have been more plentiful but I understand sometime it comes like that. My favorite was the squid ink gnocchi. It just melts in your mouth. The little bits of shrimps added texture to the silky taste. The ravioli was unique. I've never had aged basalmic. It added a pungent kick to peas and bacon. Mascarpone blends it together well. Service was decent. Dishes: VEAL BONE MARROW: ROASTED VEAL BONE MARROW, ITALIAN PARSLEY, CAPERS, GARLIC TOAST NERO DI SEPPIA: SQUID-INK GNOCCHI, CHOPPED SHRIMP, SAUTEED SPINACH, MASCARPONE CREAM RAVIOLI DI PISELLI: ASAIGO PEA RAVIOLI, PANCETTA, PEAS, PECORINO, MASCARPONE BECHAMEL, 18 YR BALSAMIC read more

Not sure if they were just busy or understaffed, but both the service and dinner were disappointing. Their appetizers are always good, but our entrees were all very salty. The 4 of us got the lobster ravioli, squid ink gnocchi, and crab fettuccine, and they were all overwhelmingly salty. I also ordered an espresso martini and the waiter told me I shouldn't order it because the bartender is new and doesn't make a good martini. Instead, he recommended a margarita, so that's what I ordered. The drink never came. Honestly, I will probably only return for appetizers, but never a full meal. read more

The table side cheese pasta dish was good for-sure but a bit al dente for us. It was unique and tasted authentic but oily. In fact all of the dishes we ordered were oily but delicious. I was not exactly blown away but they met my expectations. The portions were a good size for the most part and thank you for putting salt on the table for us. The food overall had great flavor and cooked well. The service was amazing and friendly. The ambiance was off.. just a bit weird. You enter through what seems like a bar and then get taken to the restaurant side which is a bit underwhelming but definitely better set up than the bar area. The colors in there were a not the beat choice for a warm and welcoming vibe but I did like the table lights and seating/ cutlery. read more

9/12/24 I came to Bella Trattoria with a group of my gym friends to celebrate a birthday. Finding parking in Inner Richmond wasn't too bad. I managed to find parking near my old middle school (Roosevelt) and walked about 3 blocks to the restaurant. We were a group of nine and had to wait outside until everyone showed up. Since we were a large party, we were seated in a side room near the gelato with a high top table. We got a few items to share like the bone marrow and the spinach salad. My entree was the linguini. The group also got house wine to share. Overall, the food was excellent and the service was spot on. Our waiter took good care of us and made sure that everyone's order was correct. read more

Bella Trattoria is a great Italian restaurant with fresh pastas and classy vibes. I ordered their incredibly soft and flavorful meatball appetizer. We were given complimentary bread and bruschetta. For my entree, I had their delicious squid ink gnocchi. I was informed by our server that their gnocchi is softer than typical, but I really enjoyed it this way. Our server was incredible. We ended our lunch with another complimentary panna cotta. The restaurant is chic and intimate inside. It is great place for a date in SF. read more

I enjoyed all the food I got and would definitely come back again. My friend and I came on a Wednesday night and when we got there around 6 it wasn't too crowded but it filled up quickly (we had a rez). I've come here once before and I'm not sure why but it seems like they always seat me in the back room even though there are tables set up in the main room. That's ok, it was just a little bit darker and both times I have gone there are a couple of little flies flying everywhere. It was more frustrating than gross to me. We both got the $50 3-course menu which was a great deal for the amount of food! (We shared everything.) The other frustrating thing was that when they brought the check they had charged $55 instead of $50...not a big deal but odd because when I asked them about they changed it to $50 - so just make sure to check your bill. read more

The service was great. They gave us our choice of tables and were attentive to our needs and questions. I ordered the gorgonzola gnocchi and started with the bruschetta. They also served house made bread that was absolutely delicious. I almost bit my friends finger to get the last slice. The bruachetta was perfectly toasted and featured a variety of diced tomatoes, olives, EVOO, and seasoning. Tope with a slice of fresh mozzarella and house balsamic drizzle it was the perfect start for my carb cravings. The gnocchi was fork tender and spinach flavored. I normally avoid blue cheese at all costs but this pairing with the cream and mushrooms and shaved hard cheese. Made for a most delicious pairing. I quenched my thirst with the house white wine which paired well with my meal. I had no room for dessert as I tried to eat all the bread in the restaurant. read more

We came here with a easy reservation on a Tuesday for 5! Large seating area and 2 different areas. Menu is large with lots of options! We ordered the grilled artichoke and it was yummy! Also paired with a non alcoholic peach Bellini. The bread is complimentary and pretty average. Authentic to Italy which is pretty dry The pastas were good but I didn't love mine personally (pasta norcina). This was mainly my fault as I don't love mushrooms and it's was heavily favored with mushrooms! They gave our group a complimentary pana cotta which was lovely.

This Black owned establishment is amazing. As part of my Black History Month restaurants, I made a reservation with some friends to try out this tasty Italian cuisine. We arrived right before the dinner rush and were greeted right away. We ordered some drinks from the bar while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. The staff are a lively bunch and pay attention to detail and answered all of our questions! Our server seated us and we tried their complimentary bread (it's soft and made in house!) with a sun-dried tomato and olive oil sauce which was delicious. We also ordered the aged balsamic and olive oil which was great as well. We then tried the bruschetta which was amazing and flavorful which we were surprised by. As the place started to fill up, I ordered the cotoletta di pollo which was amazing. Tuns of arugula, fresh Parmesan cheese,and Caper Piccata. I couldn't stop eating this as my friends continued to ask for a bite that I reluctantly shared . We finished the night with the berry sorbet and pana cotta which was a hit for the table. If you are looking for a great Italian restaurant with candlelight, good food, great staff and a feel good atmosphere, try this place out.

I meant to write this review over a month ago and kept forgetting, but the food and service were so good that I kept coming back to it because it deserved a review. Everything we ordered was excellent -- the pasta, appetizers, and wine were all genuinely delicious. But what really stood out was the service. From the moment we walked in, everyone greeted us so warmly and made us feel incredibly welcome. We also didn't realize until later that we had come in right before closing. To make matters worse, we were being super indecisive ordering and definitely took our time eating, but not once did anyone make us feel rushed or uncomfortable. The staff continued checking in on us, refilling our waters, and making sure we had everything we needed the entire time. At one point we realized the restaurant was completely empty and asked what time they closed... turns out they had actually closed 20-30 minutes earlier and still treated us with so much kindness and patience. Special shoutout to Kitty for the amazing service. She was incredibly gracious and attentive and honestly made the whole experience even better. Can't wait to come back. read more

Great service and not a bad bite on the menu! Really enjoyed the bone marrow (first time eating it so nothing to compare it to but yum), artichokes were good but skippable. But oh my god the gnocchi Gorgonzola melted in my mouth. The sauce was so delicious and flavorful and mushrooms were perfectly cooked. It didn't taste very funky like Gorgonzola it was more like a mushroom cream sauce. Will be back for this dish! read more

Absolutely loved my experience here! Felt very homey and authentic with great service and ambiance. We didn't love the complimentary bread and dip like many other reviews mention loving - so maybe I'm an anomaly. The bread felt lacking in flavor and the sun dried tomato dip didn't hit for me. However I LOVED my pasta! A friend and I ordered and shared it's not carbonara and the Italian sausage Rigatoni vodka pastas. I thought both were absolutely incredible! The flavor was rich and spot on. Portion size was also generous, between the 2 of us we couldn't completely finish our meal. It was my friends birthday and they brought out a panna cotta on the house which was amazing. Great flavor and texture! Overall I loved my experience here and would love to come back read more

Oh my gosh. I had the best time here on a random Thursday night dinner with a friend. We originally landed on this randomly after looking for restaurants open late (a PAINFULLY lacking area in San Francisco) in the Richmond and made our way over. On first impression, it feels like a classy but homey spot - I always appreciate where you can come in casually (like me, post-yoga) but also get dressed up (saw a good number of couples on cute date nights). We tried: - oxtail bolognese gnocchi: This was less of the pillowy bouncy type but rather more melt-in-your-mouth which I loved too! The bolognese was so indulgent and the oxtail was so tender; luckily it was balanced out well by the - it's not carbonara: a fettucine with butternut squash, pecorino, egg sugo (which I'm actually still not sure what it is), and topped with Brussels sprouts shavings and a nice drizzle of balsamic. It was fresh and a little herby, still creamy but in a way that still turned out to be quite light. - and NOT to be overlooked was the complimentary fresh bread! The bread itself was quite airy/not crusty which I'm neutral about but the sundried tomatoes in oil was so simple but mindblowing. I gobbled that down quick. The staff were all so friendly and we didn't feel rushed at all when it was getting later. Next time I will be back for the panna cotta! read more

Bella Trattoria has been around for a while. My husband and I recently returned a few times and once to celebrate a special occasion. We normally do not go crazy over table bread but theirs is soft and pillowy and goes amazingly with their delicious sun-dried tomato & olive oil dip. (I have been trying to duplicate this dip at home but so far not successful.) The Italian food and drinks are pretty delicious as well. Especially love the panna cotta, my favorite. Ambiance of the restaurant seems to be split into a bar on one side and a more formal dining room on the other side. Watch your step as you walk down because it's dark inside. We have been dining in the more formal dining room although I'm sure the menu is the same for both sides. Waitstaff is friendly and efficient. We had a great time.

I came here late on a weekend with some family, and we tried different pastas and pizza. It was all delicious, but the pasta certainly stood out over the pizza.

Definitely worth the visit if you're in the area and want some Italian. read more

Good food. Free bread + tomato dip was simple but tasted fresh. Pass on the $5 EVOO dip. Clam pasta tasted great but 7 clams was pretty disappointing.

I'd take my in laws here if they asked for Italian and that's a great metric for me! read more

Came into Bella with high hopes after seeing so many good reviews, but walked out disappointed. The space itself is quite nice. The restaurant has two sections: one with a bar, pool table, and a few tables, and another with a cozy dining room where we were seated. The dining room had a rustic charm and was clean and inviting. So far, so good. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, the clams pasta, and the Italian sausage pappardelle. The Brussels sprouts were easily the best part of the meal. They were crisp, well-seasoned, and had great flavor. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal didn't live up to expectations. The clams pasta was disappointing. The clams had a fishy taste and were a bit mushy, which made them seem not very fresh. The pasta itself was too firm, almost undercooked, and had very little seasoning. It lacked salt and flavor overall, which made the dish feel flat. For how much it cost, I expected something much better. The Italian sausage pappardelle was slightly better. The sausage had a nice flavor, but the presentation was unappealing. The pasta, again, was undercooked and the whole dish just felt bland. There wasn't much depth or richness to the flavor. It felt like something was missing. Service was decent. Our server was friendly and attentive, but nothing particularly stood out. In the end, the food just didn't deliver. The prices are high for what you get, and the flavors didn't justify the cost. While the space is pleasant and the service fine, I probably wouldn't return based on this experience. read more
