The atmosphere for this Restaurant is lovely with dim lighting and expressive Italian art decorations. The food is tasty and the white wine excellent. The staff are attentive and friendly. My experience at this restaurant has been 5 stars and I do recommend. A true gem in the Valley!!!

What was that? The reviews were amazing but wow it was not amazing at all. Went with a party of 4 and everything we had was mediocre. Price was very high for food I'd think came from a pizza parlor. Won't be returning.

My friends and I came in last minute and appreciated the staff for seating us. The free bread was delicious. However a bit of the chicken in my pasta had unusual texture and was tough to chew through. However I enjoyed the ambiance and my Rose.

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

The service was very pleasant, personable, and efficient. There are beautiful paintings around the room with famous Italian motifs. It's a small, quaint, very Italian feeling restaurant. The food is delicious! We had meatballs, fried calamari, and their fantastic bread to start off the meal. Dip the bread into their olive oil/balsamic mix to have a flavorful bite. I had the pork scaloppini with mashed potatoes and veggies. Others had grilled Italian sausage on rigatoni, pesto Alfredo, and pasta alla vongole. Everyone loved their food.

We had a wonderful evening. It felt like a special occasion, but it was only a Saturday night craving for spaghetti and meatballs. The place is intimate, the service is attentive and professional, and the food... delicious from the crab cakes appetizer through the entrees and to the lemon cake for dessert, perfection. Thanks for a lovely time, we will be back for more!

My good Lord keep me away from such a food! Please take Italy away from everything! I had a charcuterie; "mozzarella" (poor pizza cheese), dry ham (first slice you should waste it if it's dry like hell!), capocollo and salami (omg, low low quality).Piccatina di pollo? NOBODY in Italy mix pollo and "pasta" ( overcooked is a compliment!)You should use only the lemon juice not a lemon sliced in the dish!Wine was okDo not waste your money; nothing is italian ok n this place. Go to Parma restaurant instead that is 20 feet on the left!
OMG best Alfredo we ever had. So creamy and full of flavor. The ravioli was good, I think the Alfredo took the lime light though. The bread was yummy, but my husband thought it was mid only because he's more of a texas road house roll type of guy lol. I will say that the guy who sat us down came off a bit rude and placed our bread dip down so hard it spilt the oil. Our water cleaned it for us and was really nice. The ambiance is romantic and intimate. We went dressed up, so did a couple others but there were also people in Jean shorts too so it depends on how you feel for the day. We reserved a table for 6 pm on a Saturday, but didn't need too as it was pretty empty. Maybe 5 other patrons there. We're gonna go back for more, for sure!

It's a long post but worth it. I was in town for a day to my work. I contacted my friends for meeting up after my work because the traffic was too heavy on my trip back. One of them is picky when it comes to food. She chose Italian food so I looked few places on my Yelp and sent them to her and other friends to see if they know the places. This place is the one they never heard of. So shocking and excited to experience it together. When I drove to reserve a table, very lucky the customer service was good at first then at the end, it become very excellent. I will tell you why. The menu sounds so good and affordable on our wallet. I ordered salmon steak. It was so heaven!! The pasta was soooo creamy and rich. They brought the bread out too and it was thick. My friend said it is salty but I urged her to taste it with her chicken tortella (don't remember spelling but menu has it) sauce. She did it and loved it! She ate lot of bread with her pasta sauce. Three of my friends ordered the same chicken dinner and other one ordered lasagna and last friend ordered chicken parmensa (forgot to spelling) pasta. Their faces were so priceless when they tasted it. One with lasagna said he tasted it And it was so perfect and different. He compared this place to other one restaurant which he dislike it. He gave it a 5 stars. One with chicken parmensa said the chicken cooked very well and pasta was not soggy at all. Pasta sauce was also delicious and spices are already included. Three with chicken torella said same thing about the best pasta. All of them who lives in Fresno and wish they know about the place before. The customer service was so excellent because they answered our questions related to food and drinks and desserts. The indoor place was so intimate and classy. We felt so comfortable and service customer including a great server and manager checking on us. Light is dimmed but see enough to see everything including us to use Sign Language because I am only Deaf friend in my group. Water was so refreshing. Our alcoholic drinks were sour and sweet little. Good for our food to match. Desserts were so heavenly to my friends. The chocolate lava was so angelic because of cream being rich tasty. Their ice cream sundae was so classy and delicious!! Their faces we're priceless again. The customer service brought us chopped fruits to us. I ate some and surprisingly, the fruits helped calm our stomach. The price is fair because of our food consider excellent, customer service and more!! I saved my leftover for my husband when I drove back to Salinas. I left Fresno and got home to give my food to him. Guess what?! He ate it so fast with his face priceless. He demanded that I take him to the place next time we will be in town for my work or a road trip. His comment said whoever made pasta should be rewarded and pasta was so perfecto!!! Salmon steak was excellent too! I explained about food. He said he wants to come whenever he doesn't work on that day. I collected all feedbacks. Agree is food- magnificent (not sure right word), environment- so classy and cozy, customer service- excellent with best tip, and location- easy to find as long as you pay attention to the buildings. One thing is I liked the two great guys (server and manager) and their respect towards me because they tried to do best to keep me comfortable because I am Deaf and they know I use my phone to communicate in notes. Trust me, they were very friendly and treated us equally! That all I said. I still loved my food and pasta was so delicious with great sauce and spices!!! They deserved 100 stars!!!Highly recommended. If you think the food is not good, you are OUT OF YOUR MIND! just saying heh.

We were traveling and looking for a places that served pasta. Decided to try this quaint spot. Ordered take-out: calamari, lasagne, focaccia, chicken insalata, gluten-free chicken fettuccine alfredo, gluten-free pasta and salmon steak, spinach ravioli. Everything was great. Nice and fresh with great flavor. Ask for forks if needed they don't automatically come with takeout.
