Nice little place with pretty good food. Two good-sized rooms provide plenty of dining space.Started with basic cheese sticks appetizer, and, indeed, they turned out to be VERY basic. Tasted no better than any frozen boxed cheese sticks you can get anywhere. The dipping marinara was flavorful and a good thickness.We ordered the smaller portions of lasagna and manicotti - very generous servings, good marinara. Not best we've ever had, but tasty. Nick's Salad was basic lettuce with tomatoes, black olives, and sliced mushrooms. The housemade dressing of olive oil, garlic, and lots of lemon was what added a bit of special to the salad.The best part of the whole meal was the complimentary garlic knot rolls served once seated. Housemade, warm from the oven, great texture, nicely flavorful. Paired with a fabulous olive oil and basil dipper - HEAVY with minced garlic ramped up the deliciousness. Could have eaten those all day!Friendly service, casual setting. Five different customers came in to pick up pizzas to go while we were having dinner. So the pizza must be pretty good, too!

The first 30 seconds have been amazingly bad. Out of fewer than 20 tables-there was one seated. The hostess attempted to seat us right beside the bathroom doors. We asked to move. Now we're 2 tables away from the restrooms.When I asked about the wine selection-the hostess pointed to the bar in the next room and told me to go and choose what I wanted. And then I heard the couple next to us order "the oil" to go with the complementary bread. Things are looking up. Shreds of fresh basil-tons of garlic floating in a delightful olive oil. They quickly delivered our appetizer-perfectly prepared fried mozzarella with superb warm marinara. The entree-beautifully blistered manicotti with that amazing marinara. The food quality made up for the rough start. Perhaps the young server doesn't know basic skills yet. I guess she doesn't have to when the food is this good.

the waitress was really nice. we had a late lunch in comfort on the way home. the place was pretty empty which was normal for a late lunch. it was about $50 for two people to eat with appetizers. the food was okay the alfredo sauce was really good. the tomato sauce didn't taste memorable. the mozzarella sticks needed more flavor in the breading but the texture of them was enjoyable. they had a softer texture compared to the ones that hurt your mouth.

Food was about the same as at any Bella Sera in the area. Biggest issue I had: no soap in the rest room. If this is the only rest room, how are the employees washing their hands? A towel roll was sitting on the toilet. It was wet from many other users. No soap anyway. I told the waiter, but he never went in there. Not going back ever, and may not go to any of the others.

A must stop for authentic Italian food and fabulous customer service. I've visited twice for their lunch specials. My son-in-law and daughter came with me the 2nd time. We each had something different and raved about all of it. And the garlic knots they give you while you wait are irresistible. We will be back.
