Bella Pasta Trattoria Italiana

I came in today (Friday) a little after 5:30 and was seated immediately. It was a beautiful dimly lit interior and ambient music. The people here were very kind and it was lovely to witness them greet familiar customers. I was brought a basket of complimentary focaccia, notably well seasoned. The olive oil and balsamic dip had garlic or onion, maybe both, which really changed the game for me. Separately, the bread was phenomenal but the dip truly complemented it well. Soon after, they brought out the ravioli alla ragu with meat filling and their current special parm fries. The people who took care of me suggested this appetizer, which I usually skip but it seemed appealing. Unfortunately, it fell short for me, simply because I prefer my fries with some crunch. The parmesan was incredible and was full of depth! Though personally, I'd skip it and try something else. Onto the ravioli, it was perfectly tender and melted well in my mouth. The meat sauce was very smooth. Overall, this dish was quite pleasant!I recognize that the portion size may not be ideal for the price point, but I felt as the quality of every dish I had was incredible. Definitely would come back here in the future!

I arrived with reservations for a friend's birthday for dinner around 5:00PM and was greeted so warmly by our server. Our party started coming in every 10 minutes or so and our server was tentative with drinks each time another one of us came in. The restaurant was not too busy this night, but I've heard it can get pretty packed! So definitely recommend reservations for your occasion.I had the linguine scampi and would definitely have it over and over again. The prawns were cooked perfectly, there was a nice bite to the pasta and the sauce was the perfect amount. There are times where I have had Italian with too little sauce or too much sauce on the pasta, to the point where it can get soggy. But they are really conscious about how the meal is plated. Big compliments to the chef!Also, the restaurant has a very intimate feel. I love that the dimmer lighting really accentuates a classy, yet romantic feeling. You have your meal in such a good atmosphere.Would definitely visit again. Though I would probably order the linguine scampi again, the rest of the menu does sound incredible.

The Dude and I walked into this spot on 01/03/25 not knowing we were about to step into a blast in flavor town plus it was like stepping into effortless elegance. From the moment we arrived, the staff made ua feel completely welcomed. There are friendly, approachable, and genuinely invested in making the experience special. We felt so pampered, it was like they knew we wanted a five star experience!The drinks are so delicious and my gin cocktail was the perfect blend of citrus and boldness. The Dude's espresso martini was smooth, rich, and hit just right for him. The food was so flawless. The gnocchi with fresh mozzarella was everything comfort food should be--saucy, satisfying, and cooked to perfection. The Italian sausage was so tasty. The panna cotta was Silky, light, and paired with a berry sauce that balanced tart and sweet beautifully. Even the bread which is complimentary stood out--thick slices paired with a spicy dip that brought just the right amount of heat. The bread could have been lightly toasted for my preference. But still wonderfully tasty. My dish without the sausage was so delicious and I loved the peas it was so creamy and delicious. Our sever knew what was up on such recommendation!The ambiance was warm, modern, glam and intimate with copper accents and the rose gold lighting that set the perfect mood for a romantic and relaxed yet refined experience. The tiramisu was so mouth watering delicious!!!!This wasn't just dinner....it was an experience. Exceptional service, unforgettable dishes, and an atmosphere that made me feel like I belonged there. Absolutely worth a return visit. I cannot wait!!

Another gem for wonderful Italian food. Here is where I discovered Rigatoni Alla Norma. Fresh Rigatoni pasta with roasted eggplant, fresh mozzarella diced and a wonderful light pasta sauce. We also had an appetizer with fig and goat cheese that was just heavenly and a delicious lemon cake for dessert. The restaurant is small and intimate which I really liked because we could actually carry on a conversation without it being too noisy.The service was impressive as the staff were very attentive. Definitely another a spot we will start to frequent.

My favorite Italian restaurant. We love this place. It's worth every penny. Customer service is amazing. Server is always very attentive and fills up the bf's water.Their fresh table bread is amazing every time. Quality of food is consistent. Bf loves the specials and gets a kick trying every new menu item when we come. We have left happy and satisfied with every visit. Thank you!!!

My bride and I went here for dinner on a Friday night. It was my first time here. We went a little later in the evening. The place was packed, but we got a table without a reservation. The service was initially a little slow, but they finished strong. We ordered an appetizer, it was wonderful. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs and my bride ordered lasagna. Both were awesome. The food was delicious. The portions were perfect. I finished everything, including what my bride did not finish. I loved this place. The atmosphere is wonderful. The service was good. I would come back here in a heartbeat.

I love the ambiance of this place. It's so intimate and moody, very calm and romantic. We came here for a late valentines dinner, no wait. The service was kind and attentive. The food was delicious! I love the complimentary bread they give you! I loved the pasta I ordered! Very unique!

We went back to Bella Pasta as part of a group of seven to have dinner. I ordered the salmon with a basel sauce on top, plus pasta, maranara and vegetables. The pasta was in a clam shell form and held the sauce more efficiently than the spaghetti did. I have to note that the salmon, basel top, marinara together were simply EXCELLENT! They left the vegetables, as good as they were, in the dust. Heavenly is even a better description for the meal. I just knew I had to write a review. The service was excellent as usual. If you order wine, order a light white wine. What a great mea.Bill Leifer

Excellent customer service. Food is amazing. Delicious focaccia bread given as a starter. Cute ambience.

First timer and might I just say.... such a gem in Fresno! The ambiance and the food is amazing. The waiter was extremely attentive and friendly. We had the charcuterie and the gnocchi. Best gnocchi!! Also their bread is to die for! Would highly recommend!
