My wife and I went on New Year's Eve. "Ali" was our server and she was TREMENDOUS AND OUTSTANDING and so FRIENDLY AND CHARMING! She took care of our menu options, dressed our desert (Tiramisu) deliciously, and had us never needing a thing throughout our meal! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you ask for "Ali" when you go. She will most definitely be our request every time!As for the food, what can I say, but OUTSTANDING, DECADENT, SUPERB, PERFECTLY COOKED, and MELT IN YOUR MOUTH DELICIOUS! We had the FRIED CALAMARI for our appetizer and they did not hold back on the portion. It was light, crispy, perfectly cooked, and very tasty! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this for your meal starter! My wife had the SALMONE DE DIABLO (an array of shrimp, calamari, and mussels on top of a generous cut of salmon in a spicy "Diablo" sauce), and it was cooked to perfection, so flavorful, and more than a one meal serving (plenty left over to take home to enjoy, again!)! I thoroughly enjoyed the "Chef's Special" 3-course meal. It came with 2 perfectly cooked medium rare, melt in your mouth tenderloin medallions, with crisp and tasty asparagus straws on top all covered in a red wine mushroom sauce. Soooooo good and cooked to perfection! I was allowed to exchange the salad for the lobster bisque, which my wife had, as well, and we were not disappointed, at all. It was so creamy, flavorful, with plenty of lobster pieces and just the right spice of heat. And I was also allowed to change the chocolate cake in cherry sauce to their signature "Tiramisu" all dressed and drizzled in chocolate sauce and coffee powder, perfectly, by our server, "Ali"! She did a wonderful job and that desert was also more than a one meal sitting, as was my dinner. Plenty of leftovers to take home, and ENJOY FOR ANOTHER DAY, which we most definitely did! Therefore, needless to say, our vote for BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN EL PASO IS "TRATTORIA BELLA SERA" on Yarbrough & Montana! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you make this your next "date night" dinner", family outing, or to satisfy that craving for EXCELLENT ITALIAN FOOD, and ask for "Ali"! You WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! We sure were not! We will be back, again and again! Thank you to all of you who made this New Year's Eve a most memorable occasion! Well done and see you soon!

We just moved to El Paso and wanted to find our new go-to Italian restaurant. Trattoria was highly recommended to us, so we picked to go for our first date night. The ambience was very nice, even though it was packed! We waited 6 minutes to be seated and was immediately served by a very sweet waitress. The staff works well together, all helping each other keep drinks full, deliver bread and take the time to talk to customers to see how things were going. The service alone was a 10/10. But the food was INCREDIBLE. I got the manicotti with garlic toast and a Caesar salad. The salad was fresh, the garlic toast was soft and delicious. The manicotti was perfect. Just the right amount of ricotta to sauce ratio and the portion was huge. The fresh bread was an added bonus. We ordered a cheesecake and chocolate cake dessert to go. Both were soft, full of flavor and absolutely delicious. For our first time, they left a lasting impression and I can not wait for another date night here soon!

So where to start?? I can't believe I've never wrote a review of my FAVORITE ITALIAN place in EL PASO! I have been coming here for 14 years!! Back when they had the place in MONTANA! I think I just start eating and am transported and I'm in a happy place, I never take a pic or maybe I think it's all my little secret not to share!!?? I dunno, LOL! But I have not had a bad meal here. I have had ONE where The chef got a little heavy handed on the salt on the lasagna once. But that was as close as it ever came to me ever having a complaint. The location on N. Yarborough shares a building with one of those non-gambling game rooms. But once you walk inside... oh you are taken from Hot, dreary, sweaty El Paso to the opulence of Italy. BEAUTIFUL statues, subdued lighting, even upstairs dining up a gorgeous stair way, real napkins and silverware. Italian music playing lightly in the background. The smell of Baskets of fresh baked bread and house makes dipping olive oil winding their way thru the room to anxiously waiting tables of diners. This is the perfect place for a date night. And anniversary or birthday celebrations, a big family dinner. Or just come in and grab an upscale lunch for not a big hit to the pocket book. All made fresh with care and love. Waitpersons dressed formally in Black. A place to have hushed dinner conversation or a joyous happy occasion with good Italian food, drinks and fun. This day I had the lunch special of which they about 20! For only $12 and comes with salad or soup, your choice, Bread and ICED Tea! I got the Fettuccine Gambi e ... OH HECK, I can't ever say it right in Italian, it's basically a fettuccine in a cream sauce similar to Alfredo with medium size shrimps and mushrooms. It's so so SO good and the lunch portion covers a whole platter!! I also had a Caesar salad, though I usually get the seafood soup, which I highly recommend, but I felt like salad today but I ate before I remembered " HEY, take a pic!" The bread was hot from the oven, brushed with butter. And The olive oil for dipping Made in house has whole garlic cloves. Some red pepper, and dried rosemary. It's so good with that bread dipped in or you can fishier some of the garlic cloves and spread them on the bread like butter.. such a treat. Do lunch I'm you are in and out In about an hour maybe an hour and 15 minutes. That's pretty good for a sit down lunch. My waitperson was super attentive, my tea glad never got less than half full before he brought another. Thelma's a wide range of delectable desserts, my personal fave is the old standby, Tiramisu. They do a really good version. With plenty of mascarpone layer... and not too much cookie, I like that. Their dinner menus is also a value die the amount of food you get. I think my dish goes to $17? For dinner and you have to buy your drink extra. But you get about twice as much pasta dish? I don't know where I'd put it!! I'm always stuffed at lunch! Looking for some good Italian and tired of the (OG) one?? Be sure and eat local and go by Trattoria Bella Sera. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic. That's it. That's all. The restaurant is quite large and airy, but busy. Our server, Chris, was pleasant and attentive. And the food is authentic and so delicious. I had the farfalle Bella sera and hubby had baked ravioli. We would be hard pressed to choose one if we had to decide between the two. We will be back.

this is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in el paso. the portions are so generous, the service is great, the ambiance is nice. the prices are also so affordable!! the free order of bread always hits and i love how there's an option to either get a soup or salad with your pasta order. i've tried the caesar salad and tomato soup which were both good. the tomato soup is so creamy and thick. i always end up getting the same pasta dish every time i come. it's the pomodoro dish and i add grilled chicken to it. i wish the noodles were chewier but it doesn't bother me. the chicken always comes out super juicy and tender too. we also tried their Margherita pizza but i would skip out on that. i would say their pasta dishes are definitely more worth it here. we also tried their lemon berry dessert cake and it was rich and creamy. super sweet! by the end of our meal we're always so full and satisfied

I love this family-owned gem that serves delicious food. We enjoy dining in because of the great service, and we have also enjoyed the "family dinner" to go for family functions, which easily feeds a large crowd.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in El Paso. I tend to lean more with chicken but have enjoyed a variety of the entrees. The staff here moves pretty quickly to customer requests and provide great service.
