Saw the good reviews, so we decided to check this place out. The N/A Negronis we started with were…read morethe closest we've had to the real thing so far. The arancini balls are as good as others have posted about. The squid ink pasta was so-so. The Cacio e pepe was my favorite of the two. Loved that they offer "scarpetta" to mop up all the great flavors of the pasta. That allowed me to get a teaser of the sourdough that must make it in to the pizza, too. Finished off with a tiramisu, which had rich flavor. Looking forward to the next time! Our server was attentive, but not too much. We sat outside, which was quite pleasant.

Every time I come here, I say, "oh, this is the best thing I've had so far!" And I come here often…read more From the savory, melt in your mouth meatballs to the Linguine alle vongole, you can't go wrong. Even rye Squid Ink Pasta is extraordinary, but beware, it can be spicy. And then there's the acacia e Pepe which is so satisfying (pro-tip: add capers, pepper flakes and pancetta, and it's like a little flavor burst of goodness). You can even customize your dish (or at least they've allowed me to when I dine here) to how you want it. The wait staff and bartenders are attentive and extremely customer service forward - so make sure to tip them well when you come here.

Lately, D'Anna's has become a tried-and-true favorite for date night. We love to go on a weeknight, when they're less busy, and bring our own bottle of wine (they charge a very fair $20 corkage fee), then just enjoy our dinners. My favorite is their ravioli and their amazing homemade meatballs. Recently I tried their pasta dish featuring mushrooms with a vodka cream sauce and it was over-the-top delish. They also have HUGE portions here; always enough to take home for the next day's lunch. And their service is consistently fast and friendly. Okay, now I'm officially craving pasta again!

Staff was great. The only issue is more of a structural issue. The pole in front of the bar…read moreprevents the bartender from seeing the tables. Not sure much can be done about it. The entrance was fantastic easy for disabled or elderly. No bushes for bees to harass you. Makes my family want to come back because unlike the rest of Bellingham this place is accessibility friendly. The patio doors didn't really need to be opened where bugs could come in. They had really good AC so it seemed odd all the doors were open. ‍ Now for the food. The bread was good the olive oil was high quality with fresh garlic. The salad was really good. However I got the prawn arancini & unfortunately I don't recommend it. The flavors were fine but it was the oiliest food I've ever had since I was a child. It was like the old school pizzas that you could ring the oil out of. I took it home & made a bowl of rice added lemon peel & lemon juice some basil & black pepper & it was 100% better. But at the restaurant they don't have that. I do plan on coming back to try other stuff because I honestly think it's going to be a fav place. The ambience is hard to judge cause there were only 3 tables when I went in. I didn't use the restroom so I have idea. Parking is fairly easy. I was there in the day so lighting was ok but I'm not sure about night.

We had a cider and a glass of rose - both perfectly ok, but nothing special (Bellingham dry cider, San Marzano Tramari rose). We had two salads: the Italian chopped salad, which was delicious, and a daily special salad (a watermelon salad) which was bland (basically feta chunks, lots of arugula, and chunks of watermelon which was curiously lacking in flavor). The staff was friendly and helpful, unobtrusive but available. The net of it - a wonderful atmosphere, a choice of things to drink, and one great salad, one bland salad ... I'd go back - it's only a block from the Mount Baker Theater where we went for a live music performance -- but I'd choose what to order carefully.

We had steamed clams for starters, as a daughter of a fisherman I can tell when seafood is truly fresh and these were fresh. I had the fettuccine con Pollo. It was very good. I'm going to regret it later...so much cream... my intolerance hates me right now. My husband had lasagna and he claimed it is the best he's ever had (I feel slightly disrespected now, because he always said mine was the best...grrrrrr). There's one dessert that my husband can not pass up no matter how stuffed he is and that dessert is Key Lime Pie and Mambo makes a mean one, so of course we split a slice. Now, I have had just about every key lime pie from Florida to Washington and even in Hawaii. This one was more like cheesecake than pie, that being said- it was pretty dang good. (I will really, really regret this later) Prices were on par with most restaurants in town, the vibe was rustic and casual, (love the booths). We'll be back, Hey, mambo, mambo italiano...

Dear Reader... I…read morehave too many adjectives to describe our dining experiance at Mombo's without you thinking I'm overblown and can't be taken seriously. But that said, I will say this: *Atmosphere was Friday Night Busy, active and energetic, so our party was not the only one to be enjoying ourselves. *Menu is diverse and appealing. Our Kitchen Sink pizza was especially uniquely flavorful with no slices left to take home. *Prices are typical for 2026 fine eateries, so plan accordingly. (Otherwise, there's always a cheap pizza place somewhere that you'll regret later on while reaching for the antacid bottle...) *OF SPECIAL NOTE WAS THE WAIT STAFF ABBY!! She thoroughly took care of all our needs, especially my wife's food allergy issues. She went to the kitchen TWICE to ensure they could modify the selection she chose, without consternation or excuses. EXCELLANT SERVICE! Of special note: Abby is also the house baker, who created the recipe for the lavender lemon cheesecake we shared around. TOO TOO GOOD!! So, if you find I've used too many adjectives to show my appreciation for our dining experiance, you'll have to find out for yourself. BILL SEZ TWO THUMBS BIG-TIME UP. Check 'em out!

Arrived during the hottest day of the year so far to find a nice cool, clean, classy interior. Was immediately greeted by a friendly hostess who seated me immediately. Restaurant was moderately quiet. Water and menu obtained, I perused the choices and decided Pizza was the thing. The pizza prices were a bit on the high side for a franchise place but the descriptions were promising with some interesting ingredients. Then I spotted it on the bottom of the menu...the Fig Pig. How could I not try it! About 15 minutes later it arrived, I took the first bite and Oh My Lord...when they redo the menu, it needs to be at the top. This is my new favorite pizza in Bellingham. Salty, crispy, meaty and sweet. It hits all the hot buttons. The crust is actually tasty, the pork is perfectly done. It was freaking delicious. Even better, once I finished half the pizza...it was that good...and a box and the check were delivered...the pizza was half off. I called the hostess over to ask if it was a mistake and she said all pizzas are half off on Tuesdays. I now know my Tuesday dinners. I've told a bunch of people now and will be taking my neighbors next Tuesday. Oh and turns out it's not a franchise but a family run restaurant.and it was staring me in the face the entire time. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger...I'll be back.

If you find yourself anywhere near the Tulip Festival, make sure this spot is on your list…read more During our weekend of tulip sightseeing, Stella Sopra ended up stealing the show. We came for the flowers, but this little food truck parked at Tulip Valley Winery delivered the kind of meal that sticks with you. There's something magical about pairing genuine, well-crafted Italian food with a flight of local wines. Chef Alberto runs the whole operation himself cooking, serving, sharing stories, and making you feel like you've been invited to Sunday lunch at his family's table in Italy. His passion shows in every bite. I've had plenty of eggplant parm over the years, but this one? Best I've ever eaten. Served in a simple plastic container yet unforgettable perfectly balanced sauce pasta cooked just right, and eggplant that was tender and full of flavor. My husband ordered the chicken mushroom ravioli, and I was tempted to sample half of it. Big, pillowy pasta filled with rich, savory goodness an absolute win! We also split a Caesar salad (because veggie balance is important) and ended on a high note with tiramisu. It was airy, creamy, and just espresso kissed enough to keep you going back for another spoonful. We lingered on the patio glass of wine in hand, soaking up the scenery and wondering how a food truck in the middle of tulip country had turned into one of our favorite dining experiences in ages. The Stella Sopra truck travels between Bellingham and Mount Vernon. If you see it parked anywhere don't overthink it. Order whatever catches your eye. You'll definitely leave happy.

We were seated promptly by a friendly hostess at a table in DT Fairhaven, and our server was the bartender. After being seated, we waited a long time without anyone taking our order. We eventually asked if we had a server and were told it was him, with no apology or explanation. We ordered drinks and food, but after more than 40 minutes, we noticed two tables seated after us had already been served, finished eating, and were leaving. At that point, we asked for the check and said we would not be staying. About 15 minutes later, the server returned with our food instead of the check. We declined the meal and sent it back. He then asked if we wanted it boxed to go, which we also declined. His reaction suggested frustration rather than understanding. We never got to try the food, so we can't comment on it. The service, however, was well below expectations given the restaurant's reputation. This was lunch on July 15, 2026. We may try The Black Cat again in the future, hoping this was just an off day.
