Bella Piatti

Visited on a snowy Friday evening with a friend to celebrate my birthday. We were off to a rocky start as we got stuck in snow, arrived 20 mins late and somehow missed calling about the delay in the storm. The lady at the reception reprimanded us for the delay Twice saying she had cancelled our reservation but has a table for us anyway. We knew it was a miss from our end too but felt it could have still been handled more professionally by them.Anyhow! My birthday dinner was salvaged by our awesome server Andrea. She let us settle down, shake off the cold and patiently gave multiple suggestions for the drinks.The drinks menu contains only wine selections but the bartender supplied cocktails on request and I saw many tables ordering those. I ordered lemon-drop martini and my friend whiskey sour, both of which were amazing.For dinner , I ordered the Pollo in Piccata and really loved the lemony potatoes that it comes with. My friend ordered the Orata again on our server's recommendation and devoured it. Our appetizer of Burrata was flavorful. The complimentary bread comes with three dips - garlic, basil pesto and anchovies. While the dips were good , the bread felt a little chewy. The dessert - a bread pudding with chocolate syrup was good in taste but a little hard. It was complimentary for my birthday :)The ambience is very chic and perfect for a date night.All in all it turned out to be a great night , thanks again to delicious entrees and our friendly server.

Amazing food , amazing service ! I highly recommend the barramundi fish ! We will definitely be back !

Just phenomenal. Everything I've tried here is delicious from the shrimp appetizer (a must), calamari, bread and spreads, to the entrees and dessert. They have a variety of pastas but my favorites are the garganelli and the marsala (not on the menu but if you ask for it, they'll make it)! The bread pudding is the best dessert with a side of vanilla ice cream!! Absolutely love it here!

My husband and I love this place. This was the second year that we celebrated our wedding anniversary here . Everyone is so wonderful and welcoming. The staff is so accommodating. The owners are especially accommodating. I love the ambience. I love the wine list. We will definitely be back.

It had been a long while since I visited Bella but a friend chose it for her birthday- I'm not sure why I stayed away so long: the Branzino was excellent and the service was always on point Outdoor seating on a beautiful day is a plus but make a reservation as they're usually quite busy

Unreal restaurant. Located in Birmingham and has outdoor seating in the summer. Fine dining if you will! The food is always delicious with the Italian take on many items. Services is always great. Restaurant is small and have to call to make reservations. Sometimes won't answer your call and you'll have to leave a voicemail, but they will call you back.

I've been to Bella Piatti only once before, but just went again recently so I've decided to post a review. I only ordered the Gemelli Al Pomodoro, which was the same thing I ordered when I initially visited. I'm a vegetarian so this is only of the only options I was able to order. But in my opinion, it's very good. It's a very cute spot for a date night. I just think they need to add a few more vegetarian friendly things on their menu; possibly a wider variety of vegetarian pastas.

I can't say enough about how fabulous our dinner experience was at Bella Piatti. While visiting the Birmingham area for a quick weekend getaway, we dined here two nights in a row. It was conveniently located across from our hotel. My husband absolutely loved the pork chop and gnocchi. He loved both dishes so much that he ate the exact same thing the second night. The gnocchi was the best I have ever had. The texture and accompanying sauce were divine. I also enjoyed the puff pastry stuffed with Italian sausage, bechamel and truffle served with a little side of fresh baby arugula and shaved fennel. The cauliflower soup they had for Saturday night special was delightful. The food was top notch and all of the staff we encountered were great too. Andrea was our server the first night and Abdi was our server the second night. Both were awesome! Super attentive with pleasant personalities. The hostess, Joy was really nice too as well as Emily. As soon as our water got below a certain level, she was right their with refills with a bright smile. Everyone was very nice and we loved the decor and intimate vibe of the restaurant. We will definitely be back. Kudos to Bella Piatti and their wonderful staff for making our dining experience superb!

Awful and rude customer service not friendly the host is extremely rude and slow. food was wayy to salty and uncooked and the restaurant is very small and crowded. They don't even have there times updated.

The gnocchi here is the best you will ever experience. As in I can't even express how pillowy soft, decadent, perfect temperature, fluffy, salty, cheesy, slightly pungent, tomato saucy epic bite you'll enjoy. It's so hard to take it slow -- it's that good. The service is mostly leaves you be unless you flag them down for needing something, which is my preference vs. constantly interruptions. Make a reservation because you won't get in with a walk in. Prices are fair, especially for the quality of the food you're getting. Go... now!
